All speedwork can be broken down one of two categories, short distance speedwork, which is usually done on a track, and the longer distances, progression runs and tempo runs, normally done on the road.
Basically, all track workouts are structured into a pattern of repeats and intervals which are then grouped into sets. It might sound confusing, and it surely can be, but once you’ve listened to this episode, you’ll be all set. You’ll appreciate the multitude of different possibilities and be excited to get out there and train to run faster.
