12 minutes. That’s all it takes. 30s recovery between reps.
Another strong week. An excellent speed session. Easy parkrun with a bit extra Saturday perhaps? And then the long run Sunday. These are the tough runs at the moment but you’re building both endurance and strength in the legs. Also a good opportunity to practice your fuelling. Any questions about that just ask. Also any problems let me know. Keep up the good work Maria.

1 Min (60s)
A really good session to practice 5k pace but then also get some speed into the legs. The real challenge will be holding 5k pace in the last 2 reps and that’s when we replicate what it feels like to have to dig deep late in a 5k race.
It’s important to keep the easy runs easy. Focus on good running form and low heart rate.
Keep the long runs at a low effort level. Obviously the longer the time wears on the harder the run will become. Make sure you hydrate and take fuel with you.
