The Reverse Michigan!
Dirtbags! Apologies for the late post!
Tomorrow we are going to do one of my favorite workouts that Liz introduced me to a few years back. I think we've done this one twice as a group, and it's stout: "The Michigan"
Essentially the Michigan combines some quicker track running with some trail tempo.
Speed/trail tempo/speed/trail tempo/speed/train tempo/speed.
I actually feel like we get more out of this workout by doing what I'll call a "Reverse Michigan"
ie 400m fast/trail mile/800m fast/trail mile/1200m fast/trail mile/1600m fast, so that's what we'll do.
Let's meet at the Nordic centre again - usual spot - 6PM tomorrow!
After a warm up we'll run fast on the pavement for about 400, then jump onto the trail for a 'mile' (it won't actually be a mile haha)
Then 800 pavement, trail mile, 1200 pavement, trail mile, and finish with 1600 paved.
Road shoes or trail shoes should work well for this one. The distances are very approximate, and this likely won't be a full reverse Michigan.
See you all tomorrow! I hear Houda's a Michigan fan.......maybe he'll show up...
