XTERRA Series: Run Workout 3
Group Workout
EVENT DESCRIPTION
Looking to shake up your triathlon training? Want to get a little dirty? As usual, you’ve come to the right place. Welcome to the XTERRA Off-Road Tri Series!
Workout 3: XTERRA Workout 3 | Long Tempo
Description
Mimicking the relatively flat and fast XTERRA China run course, this workout focuses on cruise intervals to build race endurance, with a short recovery between bouts. The goal is to dial into a pace you can sustain for 30-minutes straight, but the work is broken up for a mental and physiological break between bouts.
Workout Structure
This is a pace-based run workout on a flat route, or 1-2% incline to simulate outdoor running. The main set consists of 3x8-minutes cruise intervals with a very short recovery jog between (2-minutes). The ideal pace for the cruise intervals is about 95% at 10k race pace, or close to half marathon race pace.
