Workout from coach

Post by Wolkies » January 2nd, 2008, 3:49 pm

My coach recently sent out a workout for our team to do this week, but im still new to the team, so i dont understand some of the terms

he told us to:
do one 3k at your 6k pace
10 min rest
one 1500m at 6k - 1 sec. pace
5 min rest
one 1000m at 6k - 2

i understand everything except for the "- 1 sec" and the "- 2 sec"
what does that mean?

Thanks!

If your 6K time is 24 minutes then your pace/500 is 2:00
then do 3K at 2:00 pace
10 min rest (very light rowing is best and perhaps some stretching)
1500m at 1:59 pace
5 min rest
1000m at 1:58 pace
