Week two of aerobic short specificity... short goal race pace efforts with long recovery so the overall workout remains aerobic while getting to turn the legs over.  Again, the second workout for the week will be an aerobic-based one, either as a sustained Aerobic Threshold/Easy Tempo or a fartlek. Continue with the short hill repeats or fast strides on Thursday, and S&C circuit on Tue and Fri.

Tue - fartlek of 10 x 1' @ either 6k or 8k goal pace with 3' easy recovery

Fri - sustained Aerobic Threshold/Easy Tempo @ ~75%
        OR  5' + 4' + 3' + 2' + 1' @ ~85% effort w/ equal time recovery @ ~65%

As always, ask if you have any questions!
