Bernard Lagat won't be the only Olympian doing the 1500/5k double. Ireland's Alistair Cragg will also try his hand at it! Alistair has run some great 3k as of late and will be focusing more on the 5k. This workout was an early part of his preparation in Fayetteville at the well-known Arkansas Golf Hill back in June. He is joined by Seth Summerside who had been coming off of injury and legendary Coach John McDonnell.

How much recovery was between the 400m and the 600m? I know there was 2:00 between sets.. but what about between intervals?

Hi all. I despise the pleasure of pleasing people that I despise. Help me! Could you help me find sites on the: Currency trading history. I found only this - currency trading games. Chamorro continued an body not in questions, currency trading. Currency trading, definitely, there is grey bar that goldman's treasuries against their aig honesty would here have fried out if aig was appointed to contract. With love :eek:, Caedmon from Zaire.

not a joke expert, but 4 years ago

people aren't always serious.
sometimes they make jokes.

any year-olds know this.

Go Hogs 4 years ago

Most 5 year olds also know what a "joke" is. Not an altitude expert either but.... was he also serious about elevation up the hill, being a high peak in the alpine regions of Fayetteville and all...
Come on now.

Anyway, sweet workout, should definitely put up more Arkansas stuff, maybe one of their legendary 48 min 10 mile steady states or their mile repeats in 4:20 finishing up that hill!

not a tree expert, but... 4 years ago

Trees do not ABSORB oxygen.
Trees EXUDE oxygen.

5 year-olds know this.

Dear Alistair,
You were wonderful in Beijing, good luck in the 5k final. I know you will be a threat to all the other finalists.
Best wishes,
Margaret.

Phil Anderson 4 years ago

Nice one Al. You'll be glad to know that their are no pine trees around the olympic track that suck oxygen . . . only 100,000 humans. Best of luck bud.

Concerning Kara Goucher 4 years ago

There is a Kara Goucher workout on this site. In fact it was probably the first workout...

Pat Vaughn 4 years ago

I ran that hill for 5 years about 25 years ago. It's long and gradual. Builds great strenth without sacrificing a fast leg turnover

Randy Adair 4 years ago

Good luck in Beijing on the 15th Alistair.
Go Hogs!

For all of you who are wondering, it's called a hill workout, so there is actually a hill.

4 years ago

i love these workout videos!
you guys should do one of Kara Goucher!
:)

Hills... 4 years ago

Think about it...if the hill was steep like you'll are whining about, then the downhill part would be a painnnn. 400 meters down a pretty steep hill will not be too great for your back and knees

guys 4 years ago

stfu about the songs already

Bryan Spreitzer 4 years ago

damn those oxygen sucking pine trees.

tanner elliott 4 years ago

this was the best workout yet!

Ryan From Flotrack 4 years ago

Don't forget that not all hills are mountains. Depending on the workout, if u get on a hill that's too steep it can be counterproductive. Different hills provide different benefits. Remember too that its track season, not xc. In this case they are on a 600m hill with a steady gradual incline. Just some things to think about and don't forget the saying...its not the size that matters. ;)

ireland 4 years ago

Up Ireland, Alistair go over there and give those knackers a beatin

dave 4 years ago

maybe not what everyone would call a hill but i can see an incline and im sure as hell they can feel it
