After a few weeks of 400s, I went back to the 8s in the trail at Robin Hill- the goal here was to number one finish the workout, number two stay comfortable the first 5, and number three run the last 5 progressively faster. Mission accomplished, but this was one tough workout. I walked most of the cool-down back to the car, a sure sign that I overextended myself on this one.
I'm convinced that repeat 800s is the one workout that can boost fitness and racing ability (from 5K to the marathon) like no other.
