1000 x 1K – Really?

Seeking aerobic development, a few days ago I came up with a wacky plan. Throughout my coaching career, and while

working with many successful coaches as an assistant after I retired, the workout of 1000m repeats has been a staple. Hence, I have decided to make that the staple of my aerobic effort going forward. So, being an optimist and a fool, and a bit of a show off, I concluded that it would be an aerobically wise idea to set as a goal to run 1000 times 1K❗️ Admittedly, it might take a year, but I’ve got time. For a month or two I plan to run repeat thousands almost daily if I can with no particular pace goal. Just run a pace that is making my heart work.

In three consecutive days since my plan was created, I have run a total of 11 x 1K.  So far I like it. Who knows how far it will go, but it’s been fun.
