Session for Thu 26th March
im is to start at 5km pace and get quicker as the reps get shorter, last part should be full speed!
Run and recovery are the same, so what ever the run recover the same. It’s active recovery at a steady pace.
2x90sec with 90sec recovery
4x60sec with 60sec recovery
4x30sec with 30sec recovery
4x15sec with 15sec recovery
Note there is no long recovery as you change between parts, so after the 2nd 90sec you only get 90sec rec before going straight into the 4x 60.
Don’t start to quick and the last 4×15 should put you at your limit! Have fun folks
