We double you up with Workout Wednesday this week, only today we give you the Thursday edition! Today we take a look back to about three months ago as the current #1 ranked miler in the world, Jenny Simpson, was in the midst of her preparation for the 2011 indoor season. Jenny was not on the track yet and still doing some longer tempo/fartlek type training in Colorado Springs at the Air Force Academy. This workout gives a good indication of the things she was doing to prepare her body with a good base before track work began. This weekend Jenny will take to the track at the Reggie Lewis Center in Boston for the 2011 New Balance Indoor Grand Prix. She will run the 3k against a field that includes Sally Kipyego, an athlete that Jenny didn't beat until her senior year at Colorado.
