Details:

12 x 200 meter sprints. Best place is on an indoor or outdoor track. If it's an outdoor track then 200 meters is half of the lap. After warming up & stretching start at the beginning of the curve and sprint the curve and the entire straight-away. Walk the other curve and straight-away for your recovery. Do this 12 times.

Indoor tracks vary so ask about the lenght of each lap. A football field is 100 yards so you could approximate by running the sideline and arcing through the endzone to make the turn back upfield along the other straight-away. Avoid a pivot change of direction and make a wide smooth arc.

Increase recovery time between sprints if necessary so it's 100% speed sprint and not a run pace. Cool down and stretch again when you're done.

Jogging = Both feet are on the ground at the same time at some point as someone trudges along.  Running = Fast enough pace that only one foot is on the ground at a time as someone covers ground while running along. Can also think of running as involving a longer stride than jogging. A 75% Pace should result in both feet off the ground during each stride of the run. An all out sprint is 100% Effort and your legs are moving as fast as they can.

Recovery - Eat a post workout recovery snack or meal with good protein 30 to 45 minutes after your workout.
