To the finish and beyond

On time start with 600m warm up. workout: set of tempo 400m, easy 400m, hard 400m, easy 400m repeated until 6:11, then cool down lap, back for the six, to the flag. with a few seconds to kill YHC led a few squat counts till time expired. On the hard laps, pax was instructed to envision the finish line and push to it. This may have been diminished some due to 7 times we needed to go over the sequence of the laps to get the order straight in our heads. Sometimes we may be smarter as individuals than as a group, but as a group we always go harder and have more fun! The goal of the work out was to push as hard as possible on the hard 400m knowing that  there would be plenty of time to recover before the next hard lap, but with the extra burn of laps between and previous efforts the work needed to match hard efforts increasing giving PAX a chance to push their will to strive to the finish line. Goal was accomplished with some guys even hitting PRs!
