1 Mile Run Program

Training Program | PR Your 1 Mile Run – Week 4

This Week We Pick Up the Speed in Our Interval Training!

We pick up the pace on our interval training this week! In particular, you will notice the 200m intervals feeling much faster than in previous weeks.

We continue to add volume in the 200m/400m/800m intervals as well, so make sure you stay on top of your stretches post run to stay ready for the next session. Tie up those laces and get after it!
