Running WOD
6 x 800m, 2 min rest
**************
**This workout looks very similar to last week. Instead of adding more intervals as we did on Tuesday, we’re cutting back on the rest. So try to hit times close to what you did last week with less rest in between each one. This will take a good warm up and staying relaxed to help get you there. For these Thursday workouts, the goal is to improve endurance and stamina stamina – going longer distances, and being able to hold a consistent pace. Workouts on Thursday will still be these longer intervals of 800-1000m, or anywhere from 4-6 minutes of sustained running.
Try to maintain times within 5-8 seconds of each other. These are not all out/ME (max effort) sprints, but something faster than a conversational pace.

^Distance and time based workouts. If you have access to a Garmin or another type of GPS device that you can program in the distances/times, that would be ideal. Otherwise, make do with what you have.
