Today’s tempo run should be at 7:00-7:20per mile and then finishing off around a 6:00-6:15 for
your last 3-min. As you drop the hammer on the run, think about opening up your chest, pushing
your hips forward as if being pulled and throw those legs out ahead of you. Find a place to finish
this run where 800m doesn’t look like a straight shot to torture your brain.
