These are your early spring workouts. We are now in week seven.
Your Saturday workout. Warm-up, 6 x 150 meter walk, race 800 meters and 1500 meters, or 1500 meters and 5000 meters, 30 minutes of easy jogging, cool down. Remember to wear dry clothing, change into recovery shoes, and stay hydrated.

Hydration is a state of mind. Hydration is not drinking too many sugary drinks. it’s about drinking water, 8-12 glasses of 8-12 ounces a day, carrying a water bottle, and managing caffeine and sugary drinks, which for a true athlete are absolute crap. Also, stay away from so-called sports energy drinks and don’t combine them with alcohol. Why train your ass and then mess it up by putting some junk in your mortal engine?
Think before you drink.
Want to be a better runner than you were before? Focus and follow our training. It’s all about consistency.
