World Champ EMMA COBURN & TEAM BOSS Workout
A couple weeks ago we got exclusive access to Team Boss, an elite distance running team, and World Champion Emma Coburn. We spent a day on the track with them seeing how they workout and recover.
The workout overview
On this day, the team was doing a threshold run followed by speed maintenance. With their race season in the Spring and Summer, many athletes focus on threshold runs early in the season to build a strong foundation for the year and incorporate speed work to maintain speed during the offseason.
The workout details
-5 x 1 Mile with 400 jog
-5 x 200 with 200 jog
-5 x 200 with 200 jog
Takeaways for you
Not all of us are World Champion and Olympic-caliber runners, but that shouldn’t stop you from incorporating this type of workout into your routine. Incorporating light threshold work into your normal routine can help you improve your lactate threshold, helping you maintain a higher-intensity pace before becoming tired. Adjust as needed to your level of conditioning.
