BRCd 3/2-2/1 Cruise Descend 3x15/12/09

Breath Runner 5 Step-to-3 Step pattern Cruise Descends runs are all about a controlled build - starting off moderate (Z2+), then building effort (up to Z4). These workouts help you develop your VO2max power and endurance by gradually building the intensity for the prescribed duration. Think about: • Fast, light feet! In order to be able to inhale and exhale over 9/7/5 steps, cadence must stay reasonably rapid. Cadence WILL be rapid on 3 Step efforts! • Focus on the exhale — strong yet smooth and controlled throughout. • Effort levels should start in the aerobic zones, but build into near-anaerobic effort on the last cruise interval. Stride should feel natural and relaxed to start, then powerful and controlled by the last cruise interval.
