Acceleration!

Friday the 13th started off on the right foot when, after five weeks of dry runs, five of Harrisburg’s finest came together for the launch of F3 Harrisburg’s speed workout at Hickory Ridge Middle School Track…the lights around the track were even on for us. Twenty-six degrees and a calm, moonlit sky provided perfect conditions for some hard running.

Here’s how it went down:

4 laps of warmup at 2F pace

2 x 1200 m

2 x 800 m

2 x 400 m

with 2 minutes of jogging between each interval

2 cool-down laps

Moleskin

It was an honor to lead this new workout, men. Keep coming out…and sign up to Q. You will get faster, and speed work improves your endurance too.

This was a tough workout, with increasing intensity….there was some well-earned wheezing at the end of the 400m repeats.

@Solo Cup, @Gapper, @BBQ, @Bull….strong push by all of you…this speed work will pay off in those short bursts between obstacles at the mud run.
