Workout 14551

Created: December 8, 2025

Description:

For time:
Run 5,000 meters
Stimulus and Strategy:
If executed properly, this workout challenges the boundaries of human performance and requires no equipment. It's a fantastic test of stamina, endurance, and mental fortitude. Experienced athletes should try for a PR on this benchmark. Look at your previous time to help determine an appropriate pace. Newer athletes should reduce the distance to complete the run in no more than 20 minutes.
In case of injury or limitation, consider 11,200/16,000 meters on the Echo bike or 4,000/5,000 meters on the rower or ski erg.
Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d
Beginner option:
On a 20-minute clock:
Run for distance
Coaching cues:
To avoid inefficient movement patterns while you run, imagine you’re running on the crossties of a railroad track, keeping your feet right under your body and landing on the balls of your feet.
