Track Workout
- Mixed Intervals (4s, 8s, 2s)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.
