The Bane of My Existence
It’s that time of year again.
It’s the time of year that many runners (especially down south where summer is pretty much here) really start to turn there attention away from distance training and start to focus more on speed and training for the 5k.
While I can honestly say I won’t be running any 5ks this summer, I will probably join my running friends for workouts as often as possible, which means I’ll be running my least favorite workout before much longer…

I Love Wayne. I Hate 1/4 Mile.
Do You Have a Certain Workout That You Hate? Let Me Know What It Is Below!
Be sure to let me know when there’s a speed workout scheduled. I’ve never been part of a group training session and I’d love to get some extra motivation from the fast guys!
Hehe. Will do!
Yes, I started this year doing a specialty workout once a week, so on Thursdays I rotate speed work, tempo, and hills. I did 400s for about 6 weeks and changed to 800s last week. Felt it was more in line with half training! But I am that guy from Charleston, SC! ha!
I’ll take 800s all day compared to 400s. My workout today is a 1600, 1200, 800, 600, 400, 300, 200, and I’m really not looking forward to that quarter in there. The 600 isn’t a lot of fun either!
I’ll do anything, just not 400s….
