Fartleks - Coaching 7

Thought this might be easy but its much better delivered when you are really familiar with the area. Thanks to Jerry it went ok.

Things to think about after the route is sorted, widths of pavements, distance to next junctions or traffic lights, long straights are better for long reps.

Things to remember
  • better to run for time, 30 secs to say 5 mins.
  • Mix the pace; from vo2, tempo, marathon, 10k, half-mara, 5k, 1mile etc.
  • Vary the recovery
  • If a rep stops short of a hill - have a short recovery and hit the hill with a short burst.
