We are starting the training cycle with some easy running to build a nice aerobic base in which you will be able to build more intense training runs on. Some short mid-week sprint work will also be a building block for future interval sessions.
Today, keep the pace nice and slow. It should be totally comfortable in nature.
Easy running. Keep it slow and relaxed.
Keep the pace nice and easy. Take a short break, then finish up with 4 x 10 second sprints at 80% effort on flat ground. Recover fully between each one.
Easy 3 miles of running. Keep the pace nice and slow and just get the distance covered.
