6:30pm from the Woburn Irish American Club. Group leader: Tom
On this group run we do the Q3 workout from the weekly training schedule.
The workout this week is cruise intervals. Cruise intervals are one type of threshold (T) pace workout, where we split the work into separate work bouts. The other type is a tempo workout, where the T pace is done in one big work bout. T pace is a comfortably hard pace, and the purpose of training at T pace is to train your endurance and lactate threshold.
See the coach tips page or ask one the coaches for how to find your T pace, and for how to scale the workout down or up according to your weekly mileage.
T-pace (threshold pace) focus
1-2 miles easy
4 × 1-mile at T-pace with 1 minute rests between intervals
1 to 2 easy jog warm down
A suggested course for this workout is the following 8 mile out-and-back. This course can be shortened or lengthened depending on how many intervals and what pace you are doing.
