Run Workout 3
Long Course Race Simulation
A skill that many successful long course triathletes have is their ability to perform under fatigue. This session will help simulate the feeling. This is a descending pace tempo session, aiming to fatigue the legs with some fast running right at the start, before settling into a 70.3, and then long course run pace. Efficient and fluid running is key during this session as you descend from 1min to 2min to 3min and then 4min reps with no rest in-between.
For WHOOP users—this workout is good to do on a Yellow or Green Recovery day. This workout will help you dial in that long course race pace so you know how to pace yourself on tired legs. This makes it good for days that you haven’t had a full recovery.
