This Hybrid Athlete training program consists of 2 easy run, 2 full body workouts, and 2 rest days.
All zone 2 runs should be ran at a comfortable pace. During those runs, feel free to walk, rest, or slow down. Don't worry about your pace; just focus on breathing calming and finishing the distance.
The speed workouts are all best average, meaning, each rep should be ran at the fastest pace you can maintain for all the reps. Rest should be 2 mins for distances under 800m and 3 mins for reps equal to or greater than 800m.
