All classes on June 6 meet at ASH track.
Tabata run for 2 miles
The Tabata protocol is 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest. The work is at 100% effort. For this WOD, you will run at 100% effort for 20 seconds followed by 10 seconds of rest. Repeat until you reach 2 miles. The distance of 2 miles is for athletes in top shape. Listen to your body and scale accordingly (reduce the distance, not the intensity). Ask a coach if you need help scaling. Once you can no longer maintain a “strong” sprint (85% of your max speed), stop the workout. At that point you have reached the full benefits of the Tabata workout and further training will only break you down with no added benefit.
In regard to the “Tabata” protocol – “The rate of increase in V02max is one of the highest ever reported.” – Dr. Izumi Tabata, Japan
