Barefoot Running in the Globe

barefoot
The globe picked up the barefoot trend with an article last week. I’ve also included links to a Runner’s World debate and a blog by local podiatrist and runner Dr. Chasen. A fad revisited or the key to healthy happy feet?, you decide!

BU Indoor Track Workout 1/28

bu-track This week we swing back to running at 5k race pace (interval pace), which will be ~15-20s faster per mile than threshold pace (or ~2s faster per 200m lap).

5-6 x 1000m @ 5K race pace
easy 200m jog recovery (~2:30 - 3:00)

I strongly suggest that anyone whose 5K race pace is > 7:00 per mile alter the basic workout and run 5-6 x 800m instead.

6:30 pm Warmup
7:00 pm Meet for drills
7:15 pm Start Intervals
7:50 pm Cooldown / stretching

-> Lookup your threshold/interval pace <-

BU Indoor Track Workout 1/14

bu-track This week involves slightly less volume at a faster pace. The last two workouts have been done at threshold pace; this week’s workout is designed to be run roughly at 5k race pace (interval pace), which will be ~15-20s faster per mile than threshold pace (or ~2s faster per 200m lap).

4-5 x 1000m @ 5K race pace
easy 200m jog recovery (~2:30 - 3:00)

I strongly suggest that anyone whose 5K race pace is > 7:00 per mile alter the basic workout and run 5 x 800m instead.

6:30 pm Warmup
7:00 pm Meet for drills
7:15 pm Start Intervals
7:50 pm Cooldown / stretching

-> Lookup your threshold/interval pace <-
