...Makes you wonder what Mo Farah is doing in his workouts.

He uses a watch to check splits

There are 2 #7s 5 months ago

He ran his 7th 200 in 26.9 and then followed it up with another 7th 200 in 26.4. Work on your math flotrack but this was a sick workout. It would be great to see one with Mo or both Mo and Galen.

That''s Lindsay Allen running the 200's with Galen. Steeplechaser Lindsay Allen formerly from Stanford University and Team McMillan Elite,

That girl had a disgusting heel strike.

Inspirational. If track was able to get even 5% more popular in the USA, we'd have a few more Galen Rupps.

Quick question: Why would galen use his watch if Alberto is timing his laps?

yea 9 months ago

This is pretty much like a nike commercial that 26363 people have not seen. I wanna buy his workout shoes!!

Powerade 9 months ago

Does he drink powerade during his workout so he can get used to taking in fluids during the marathon???

Zach 9 months ago

He was wearing Nike Structure Triax 14s. Kinda funny that he went from old trainers to not-yet-released flats!

Dan 9 months ago

Anybody know what kind of trainers he was wearing?

Who was the chick?

Galen's running speed for this 6x1600m workout would put him at 28:08 over 10,000m.

Considering his PR of 26:48 in the 10000m, this is pretty close to his race pace for 10000m "at altitude" (5000 feet or higher).

Christian House 9 months ago

The spikes are the Nike Matumbos, and the flats are the Nike Flyknit Racers.

Can I assume this was a tempo workout?, wasn't sure what the rest interval was; smart choice in choosing to change direction on the track...helps to deter development of muscle imbalances, especially due to the banked surface

Joe Hughes 9 months ago

What spikes/racers is he wearing during these workouts. I really like them and would definetly look into getting a pair.
