A tough 5k session and the challenge is to see if you can hold your 5k pace in the 2nd 8 min rep when the legs are tired and you’re feeling fatigued.

This is a good session, a combination of longer and shorter reps.

Enjoyed this session but must admit, I did find the second 8 minute stint really tough. Don’t think I quite maintained the pace tbh. Enjoying the variation of sessions though.

That is the challenge of this session to be honest and what it does in try and replicate how tough it will feel in the final few km of a 5k race, hence why you smash out those 1 min reps in the middle to add fatigue and build up some lactic in the muscles. So sounds like it had the right effect. Glad you enjoyed it though Ben and definitely one of these sessions which will have improved your fitness.
