A great 5k session to improve speed. Don’t got off too quick, so focus on your pace in those first few reps, then you’ll get an idea of how far you can run each rep. From there you can then pick up the pace and cadence for the 1 minute reps.

Important we get these faster shorter reps in and some weeks that means sacrificing a quick parkrun.

This was hard was very difficult to get out the door to get this done. Put the whole workout on my garmin and using it properly! The longer the session went on the better it felt. I know I’m improving was hitting some really good paces across the splits! Felt strong but was done at the end!

I know that feeling. I’ve had it many times when heading out for a session like this on my own, knowing what to come. Often the thought of it is much worse than the actual session itself. Next week we have BRT and parkrun. Going forward I’ll try and give you a few of these shorter rep sessions which are aimed at improving cadence and stride length. See how you find them, given they are lower volume of running, the thought of doing them solo might not be so bad. The most important thing for me is you enjoy your training, so if doing these solo is no fun at all, I think it’s important we find another solution. All that said, really well done for completing this one.
