to the top brick by brick

First, some suggestions:
>you should report your mileage for last week and results for Tue & Fri workouts via text or email
>you should complete everything listed for practice each day and stay in the same routine of regular practice
>if you have any questions or any interruptions in training due to injury or illness, you should contact your coaches
>report back on Thursday, January 2, 2020

Regarding the Tuesday's workout, if you have access to a track or measured path, use it. If you don't have access to a track or measured path, adapt the workouts and just use time and effort as your guide.
