RABC Intervals:  Hit the track, or run around the block today.  An average block, all the way around, is slightly more than 400m, roughly 410m I have seen on my GPS watch when I measure it for our track routines.  We sometimes practice at our school in Finley were there is a track, and other times we practice in Hope were there is a loose remnant of a track around the field, but its easier to go around the block next to the school. 

For a track routine, jog 3 block lengths easy, then go 1 block length hard, doing this continually for 4 times around the block.  I call this one the "3 & 1" where you go 300m easy and 100m at around a race pace feel.  If you run 5K's, go a little faster, such as what you would do for a 1 mile time trial.

I know in-place interval routines are nice in most situations, but TRACK~! workouts really can trim you up fast, and boost your fitness levels up as well.  Think about adding 1-2 running workouts with intervals if you need a great change in your fitness training.
