Race Pace Run Session
Looking for something different for your next race pace run session? Then why not try this little gem!
Make sure you’ve completed a thorough warm up (at least a mile and working up to race pace) before you go into the main session. This session is ‘distance at pace’ measured, so if you haven’t got a GPS type watch then make sure you have a route planned before you take off!
Main Session
Run 2 x 800m at 10K pace, with a 2 minute recovery in between.
Follow with 4 x 400m at 10K pace with 60 second recovery jogs between reps.
After the fourth 400m, jog for 60 seconds then go straight into 800m at slightly faster than 10K pace; jog for 2 minutes then do another 800m at the same, slightly faster than 10K pace.
Remember to cool down until your resting heart rate has recovered and perform a thorough stretch session to finish off.
Session Stats
