Improve Your Running Form and Pacing
Track interval workouts on a 1/4 mile track are essential for improving speed, turnover, running form and efficiency. Our track/speed workouts are designed for beginners, intermediate and advanced runners with varied workouts for each skill level.
Each workout includes a 1-mile pre-workout warm up (run on your own prior to workout start), coached bounding drills and an interval track or “speed play” workout. Each workout consists of intervals that include 200m, 300m, 400m, 600m, 800m, 1200m and 1600m repeats with active or standing recovery between each interval. Each workout lasts around 50 minutes and includes a total of 5K to 10K of total mileage. Runners are highly encouraged to run an easy .5 to 1-mile cool down post workout.
Track workouts are also designed specifically for any fall or winter race and are included in our training schedules. That way if a track workout is missed, a runner knows exactly what they need to do on their own.
Our track workouts are held at the Memorial Park track (across from tennis center) and the Heights High School track on 13th street in the Heights. Workouts are held on alternating Tuesday evenings at 6:15 PM and run about 50 minutes.
