Week 22, Day 1

This set is great pace work for a 500 or 1000. Start with your 500 or 1000 average pace per 100 yards. Then see how long you can hold that pace with the interval dropping 5s every repeat. If the interval doesn’t work for you, start with adding 20s to your 500 or 1000 pace. Then drop 5s on the interval every repeat of 4 x 100.
