Speedwork with your Workouts
Are you gearing up for a 5K or 10K race? These are popular race distances to run since they are short and fast. And because the pace is going to be faster than that marathon you’ve been thinking about, it’s important to get some speedwork in your workouts.
Speedwork is important to add in to your workouts to increase your endurance and pace for that upcoming race. I like running to a local track on some workouts, which for me is less than 2 miles away. Once I’m on the track, I’ll run a small combination of 200s and 400s, then run back home.
If you don’t have access to a track, you can get the same benefit with different variations of speedwork. You can pick a starting point on your run, then pick up the pace for the next couple of minutes, then slow down again for a recovery. A variation of this would be to run faster up to certain location and commit yourself to that point without slowing down. If you’re able to time this split, then check it against the next time you run this same workout for comparison.

I’ve been integrating this rarely heard of supplement in my diet and I thought I would include everyone my results. I heard about this supplement through a roommate and I ended up ordering a trial and started seeing results extremely fast. I couldn’t believe I had actually shed 20lbs in 1.5 months simply by including this pill. If you’re interested they give you a free trial, check it out by clicking: The Acai Berry
