Today’s session is an interval training session. Intervals involve running a certain distance or time at an elevated pace. This is followed by a recovery period. During the recovery, you get your breathing back down to a certain level before going pacy again. For our first interval session, let’s ease into it with the following:
5 by 1k repeats
90 seconds static recovery (standing still, not walking or jogging) between each repeat

COACHING TIP: The idea is to run each repeat at equal effort. So as we are doing 90 second reps, try to reach the same point on the track or the road each time. (ie.e cover the same distance). Ensure you get good recovery by taking big, slow, deep breaths before starting again.
