Training for an upcoming sprint or an Olympic distance triathlon? Want a quick way to improve your next 5K or 10K race time? Gunning for a P.R? Or are you simply looking for a fun group to do some speed work with?
Interval workouts are a terrific way to increase your running efficiency. With better efficiency, you'll be able to carry a quicker pace longer, more comfortably.
In Omaha, one place to do this is with Team Nebraska Triathlon's (TNT). The TNT group meets May - October Tuesdays at 5:45 PM at UNO's Caniglia Field. The practice is organized by TNT's Gerald Kubiak. All are welcome.
Each week's workout consists of a light two mile warm up, foot drills, a main set of three miles of intense speed with active recovery (light jogging) and a group cool down. In all, a total of about 8 miles.
