XTERRA Spain Championship:
Monday 21 April 2014
Swim: 5x400m with 30sec rest between each 400m
Bike: 30km MTB
Tuesday 22 April 2014
Swim: 1x2500m with pull buoy. Easy pace.
Run: The Steve Prefontaine (Oregon) classic 30/40 workout adapted to your own fitness level.
First introduced by Oregon coach Bill Dellinger in the 1970s, this workout is a rite of passage for runners. It's ideal preparation for a 5-K but can also fit into mile and 10-K preparation. Once or twice a season at most, use this workout as a mental and physical test. Don't cheat: Once you fall off pace on either the fast or slow section by 2 seconds, you're done.
Correct pace: take your 10k time in minutes and multiply with 1. Those are your fast 200s (in seconds). Slow 200s: 10 s slower.
Example: if you run 10k in 30 minutes it should be 30/40 seconds; if you run 10k in 40 minutes it should be 40/50 seconds.

How to do the workout: On the track, start at the finish line, do the first 200m in the slower time and the second 200m in the faster time. Do not rest between laps. Keep going till you miss your targets by 2 seconds.
