Intro: Seth James DeMoor breaks down the Nike Alphafly Next% Track Workout: Strava Mile PR. Here’s what you need to run the session. The full video has the rest.
Key points
- A track session that puts the Alphafly Next% through speed work and turn handling.
- Target: hold sub-5-minute mile pace across three 1-mile repeats, then finish with an 800 m and a 400 m.
- Technique: 90 seconds easy jog between reps, adjust laces as the upper loosens, wear compression calf sleeves, and finish with stretching and foam rolling.
Workout example
Warm-up (10-15 min easy jog + strides)
1. 1 mile (≈1600 m) @ 4:56 - 90 s rest
2. 1 mile (≈1600 m) @ 4:51 - 90 s rest
3. 1 mile (≈1600 m) @ 4:53 - 90 s rest
4. 800 m @ 2:25 - 90 s rest
5. 400 m @ 1:08 - 90 s rest
Cool-down 10 min easy jog + stretching/foam-rolling.
Each interval is in the Alphafly Next%. Note the 1-mile repeats are 1600 m (slightly longer than a true mile). The 90-second rest keeps the anaerobic stimulus while giving you enough time to reset form.
Closing note: try this on your next track day, adjust paces to your fitness, and log it in the Pacing app.
