Race next week with the EOY 10 miler so we ease off the long run. It’s pacers day at parkrun so a chance to go for a quick run. Any problems let me know.
Coach Simon๐
A good session to do on the track. Really work hard during these reps to try and hit those targets. To get faster over 5k we need to train quicker in sessions like this. Perhaps start at the first bend so the 400s & 800s will begin at the start line. Go get ’em!!
If you have an accurate heart rate, then use that as your main data to determine pace, if not RPE is the best option. Hills are always going to cause them to go too high, unless you are super fit. Finish off with some strides.
Keep this nice and easy. Focus on good form & efficient running economy. RPE should be around the 3/10 which means you can run and chat.
