Track Workout - Mixed Intervals Main Set

Objective: Mixed intervals are done at a higher intensity level than your goal race pace. Mixing longer and shorter intervals helps train up your threshold pace. Mixed intervals typically break a race distance into alternating longer and shorter intervals - in this case 5K.
