Flashpoint Theory Running Solutions

Feeling nervous about running my first Distance Medley Relay at the El Toro All Comers meet tonight! Partly because it’s a very competitive field at a D1 High School, I’m the last leg and partly because I haven’t run a 1600m on the track since 2014!!! Here’s our order and line up...

1200m (Rob Arsenault - 51)
400m (Josh Veloz -34)
800m (Brad Peterson 50)
1600m (MJ - 47)

Well...I guess our avg age grade will be pretty tough to beat! :)

Here's a great track workout for race week for Marathon, Half Marathon or 10k...

The Down Ladder Shakeout

15 min warm up

1200m @ projected race pace with 400m recovery
