Here’s a breakdown of Typical Training Run with Judy | Peachtree Prep #8, led by Emma Abrahamson. The video offers plenty of valuable details worth exploring—here’s how you can put this run into practice today.

Key Points

• A comfortable 4–6 mile outing that builds aerobic base before moving into race-focused workouts.
• Opens with dynamic activation (high-knees, leg swings) to prep your muscles for the run ahead.
• Steady effort at approximately 7:20–7:30 per mile (about 11:45 min/km)—slow enough to sustain while still engaging your aerobic system.
• A gentle incline in the final mile provides a light strength component without overloading your legs.
• Mental strategy: keep your mindset upbeat when facing distractions (weather, soreness) and focus on the finish line.

Workout Example

1. Dynamic warm‑up – 5 min of easy jogging with high‑knees, butt‑kicks, and leg swings.
2. Run 5 miles at a manageable 7:20‑7:30 per mile pace. Maintain a conversational effort level; if you’re feeling strong, lean toward the quicker end of the range.
3. Hill segment – During the final mile, locate a short hill and sustain your same effort as the gradient increases naturally (expect roughly 7:45–8:00 on the climb).
4. Cool‑down – 2‑3 min of easy jogging or walking to wrap up.

Practical Tips

• A GPS running watch or the Pacing app helps you track your target per-mile pace and monitor progress in real time.
• If soreness or environmental conditions (pollen, humidity) are present, keep the run relaxed and respect the recovery component.
• Modulate your mileage between 4–6 mi depending on your readiness that day.

Closing Note Try this 5-mile steady run and fine-tune the paces within the Pacing app to match your current fitness. It’s an effective way to maintain routine, grow your confidence, and prepare your body for the upcoming Peachtree Road Race.
