CLC Striders speed/interval training w/c 8 February 2021
Please see interval session below, this week set by coach Amelia Mullins.
1 mile easy warm up followed by dynamic mobility, drills and strides. Then:
- 12 minute continuous fartlek run: 1 min @10k pace, 1 min @ 5k pace, 1 min steady - repeat for a total of 12 minutes.
- 3 minutes rest
- 2 x 4 minutes @ 5-10k pace with 90 secs walk recovery
- 4 x 2 minutes @ 3-5k pace with 90 secs walk recovery
1 mile cool down jog
Fartleks teach your body to incorporate varying speeds into a run, helping you to recognise a difference in pace and to change gear when you need to e.g. to ‘kick’ in a race. For newer runners, you can run the fartlek recoveries easy rather than steady, and the 4 & 2 min efforts at the slower end of the given paces.
Please be CAREFUL out there with the snow and cold weather this week. If you don’t think it is safe to do the session, just do an Easy run and wait for it to clear later in the week.
Please adhere to the rules, only train if you feel fit & healthy and remember you CAN train together with 1 other person outside - so please reach out to other members/friends if you want some company.
Enjoy
