The Potential Elite Runner Must Realize That Hard Means Hard, Easy Means Easy And They Must Patiently Seek Out What Combinations Work For Them. They Have To Learn To Be Persistent And Patient With Their Training And Racing.

Three Half-mile Repeats On The Track At 5-k Race Pace With A Short Recovery Jog In Between Shouldn't Scare Anyone Away-and It Will Improve Your Speed.
