AM: In and Out 800's Workout
3 miles warmup. 6x100m strides.

6 miles of "In and Out 800's". You'll run 6 miles on the track continuously, but it will be 800m at 10k pace, 800m easy/moderate, 800m at 10k pace, 800m easy/moderate, etc. until you reach 6 miles. The 800m easy/moderate pace should be ~40 seconds slower than your 10k pace. (Perhaps something like this for your 800 splits: 3:10 hard, 3:50 easy, 3:10 hard, 3:50 easy, etc.) You can progress the hard 800's to a faster pace as you get deeper into the workout if you feel good, but keep the easy pace at 3:50 no matter what). 2 miles cooldown.
