(For example, [3.3 x 2] + 3.3 = ~10 seconds)...
One of these days I’ll have to interview Wynn Gmitroski. If I ask you to run the first lap in 50 seconds and your PB is 50, you’ll be in a world of hurt at 500 meters. If it’s 46, then you should be okay. What that means is you need all 3 types of pace training at the 400, 800 and 1500 meter levels. Hence 3 track sessions a week, each one with spec...
