Description: 30 Min Lactate Threshold Steady State Jog At The Track

This low-medium intensity steady state workout lasts for 30 minutes.

The goal is to jog at the fastest pace you can, for 30 minutes, without generating more lactic acid than your body can use.

This is referred to as your lactic threshold.

It’s not high intensity, but it’s also not low intensity. Find a happy medium pace that is sustainable for 30 minutes.

Complete up to 4 x 30 minute sessions per week.

Does one circuit of this warm up before every track workout.

Tempo: as fast as possible
1. With a hip width stance, drive one knee up so your thigh is parallel to the ground while pumping the opposite arm and elbow forward, similar to if your were sprinting. 
2. Softly land the foot on the ground while immediately driving the opposite knee up with your opposite arm driving forward. 
3. Repeat as fast as you can for reps.
