Notes:
• All efforts should be paced at moderate-high exertion.
• Goal of today is not to work hard. It’s to remind your legs how to move smoothly and spring-like. That is why there is so much rest.
• The emphasis today is mechanics, not aerobic stress. If you feel like you need to adjust either the pace or the rest in order to do this, go for it and let me know.
• This workout can easily be done at a track if you have access to one.
