Lactate Clearance Run

3 Rounds

0.25 Mile Hard (or 1:30 Hard)

0.75 EZ (or 5:00 EZ)

Rest 2:00

Goal: Get smoked during the 0.25 Hard section and spend the remaining 0.75 miles running as easy as necessary to actively recover during your run.

You will know if you are recovering if you can bring your heart rate and breathing rate down to something you may feel during an easy jog.

Note: If you cannot “recover”, adjust the workout. This could look more like 1:00 Hard and 4:00 EZ. Play around with it to make it appropriate to your capacity.

5:00 Walk

Then

20 Deep Lunge Knee Drives (each leg)
