We don't know how it happened either…
Returning to Tempo Reps in this training session. This workout should improve your ability to maintain a moderate effort for longer by running at tempo for 5 sets of 8 minutes with 3 minutes recovery. A bit on pacing and zones…I tend to run to heart rate or feel but if you are used to...
Hill reps are back! Yes in this week's Training Sessions, we return to hill reps. Pick a hill, or at least a consistent incline, that's reasonably long and run about 10 minutes beforehand to warm up. For this session, you don't need to go hard by just keeping a running form going (even if you...
So for this week in our #trainingsessions, I had loads of ideas about great sessions but then my watch suggested this (you will need to modify the pace for your thresholds): 8x1:00@6:30/mi You'll need a long warm-up, say 15 minutes, easy with varied pace. Run hard for 1 minute when you find breathing challenging or...
In this week's Training Sessions is a mash-up of intervals with a 12-minute test and is a gift from Dunc:Warm up as usual then start the intervals as follows:3min easy, 1min hard, recovery for 1 min (slow jog or walking is fine)2min easy, 2min hard, recovery for 1min1min easy, 3min hard, recovery for 1min4min time...
Sooner or later they had to show up in the Training Sessions There are lots of variations to hill sessions, and it doesn't need to be a big or steep hill. Pick a hill, or at least a consistent incline, and run about 10 minutes beforehand to warm up. We're going to do the most...
Push it, Push it real good!On this week's Training Sessions it's time to give it some! In these intervals go all out:Warm up for 10 minutes playing with pace.3-5 sets running as fast as you can, just short of sprinting;
Lucky you! Two sessions in one on this week's Training Sessions!!Building on the tempo session a few weeks ago this workout will increase longer high-intensity efforts. The effort is just that bit harder than the tempo effort staying around your lactate threshold.Different pacing methods and points to focus on are below the workouts. Workout 1Total...
Nice and simple for this week's Training Sessions This workout improves the ability to maintain a moderate pace for longer.10min warm-up, easy effort with a low HR but play with pace to limber up.5 sets of:8min at effort3min recovery, even easier than the warm-up!Nice long 20 minutes cool down, not too slow but nice and...
This week in our Training Sessions we're focussing on anaerobic exercise. Run anaerobically to build and maintain lean muscle and increase post-workout calorie burn. Anaerobic means without oxygen so we want to run fast with rapid breathing. If you know your pace zones, and running on the flat, then aim for that pace or go...
This week's Training SessionsBack to two equal blocks of efforts based on your current level but further this time than last. Aiming for tempo so go hard but keep some juice in the tank. You might want to run to heart rate, just how it feels or use a breath-to-stride method.For example I'm going for...
