Track Workout of the Day: Mixed Intervals

Always warm-up with a gentle 1-mile run, followed by 1-2 laps of strides.


  • Mixed Intervals:
  • 400
  • 800
  • 400
  • 1200
  • 400
  • 1600
  • Keep the pace of each interval the same, slightly faster than 5K race pace. So each lap of the 800, 1200, and 1600 should be the same pace as the 400s.
  • Recovery will be approximately 90 seconds between intervals.
  • Always cool down immediately after the final interval with an easy 2-4 laps.
