Elite 5K runners often speak of one particular workout with reverence: the Pre 30-40 workout. This workout was originally designed by legendary American distance runner Steve Prefontaine as part of his training regimen for the 5K. The workout consists of alternating between a 30-second 200m run and a 40-second 200m run, for a total of 3 miles. It has become a classic among elite distance runners, and its effectiveness is widely recognized.

Researchers have found that elite runners adhere to a strict training routine to ensure optimal performance. The key factors in this regimen are planning and periodization. The athletes gradually increase their running volume over several weeks during a base phase. As the preparation becomes more specific, they increase their running volume at race-pace intensity.

Kipchoge's attitude is based on optimism and persistence, and he wants to inspire readers to pursue their dreams and never give up, especially in the face of obstacles. In "The Last Milestone," a documentary on his attempt to run the marathon in under two hours, he talked about how completing a marathon has its rewards and hardships, reflecting the varying experiences of life. He contrasted the difficulties of life, with its ups and downs, hardships, and the opportunity for joy and victory at the end, to running a marathon

Even while this workout sounds difficult, it is important to keep in mind that 20 x 400m only equals 8 kilometers (approximately 5 miles) of hard running, making it comparable to a common exercise like five times a mile. The physical distance traveled is not as difficult as the mental strain of dividing it into numerous bits. Finding the appropriate mental state that combines restraint, calm, and focus is so essential. You will know you are prepared to race when you finish the workout feeling exhausted but victorious rather than fatigued.
