Piece of cake. Just slow runs, easy. It is just a bit boring, that´s the hard part.
Try to do 4x200 (26''-28''), 2x400(58''-1'02'') and 800 (2'10''-2'15''), with 1' rest time between group sets and 30'' between repetitions.
This is a kick ass workout, not for everyone
Anonymous,
What's your point of bringing a 1500m specific training workout when Sergio is doing IM Lanzarote in a few days?
"1500m specific training workout"
1500 specific?? you are crazy men (surely is not IM specific too, i was giving an example of a really kick ass workout)...even so, ask any elite marathon runner if they do what sergio described... it only slows you down.
It's very important to keep speed, if you want endurance or resistance just do more series with smaller intervals. Like 15x400m or 10x1000m, with 30'' or 1' int.
Of course you still need 30km workouts, but this ones should be done at very slow speed, recovery pace, to gain efficiency.
You shouldn't mix very long runs whith specific track workouts, it just mess with your physiology.
Ask sergio if he can be competitive at sprint or even olympic distance triathlons? And I'm not talking elite level ones...
Your body has to like to move fast...
I would stop and get a 1 month recovery time! Hope you are training well, Marcos!
Well the workout looks tough but im absolutely sure that i couldnt make those times :P
"im absolutely sure that i couldnt make those times"
Don't be, you'd just need to change your perspective in some things, and maybe your training plan.
But it's not time for that, and you are an IronMan, not a marathon runner, like Ryan Hall.
But don't forget to do some speed sessions, in the pool, bike and run. They are of maximum importance. Let your body learn how to move fast, so that slow becomes easier...
