April 4th – Interval Training

Interval training

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:

3 sets of 3 repeats of 2 minutes
60 seconds static recovery (standing still, not walking or jogging) between each repeat
2 minutes between each set

Any questions, fire me off an email using the contact form. I read and answer all emails.

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.
