Many of us have read about speedwork and how it can help us improve our running form and timings.
Tuesday's sessions are speed workouts to prepare all of you to run 5km faster and more efficently. Of course the sessions also stress your muscles to work harder without breaking down and push your body to use more oxygen with the increased stress.
The usual sets are 5x 800m with the first and last set slower but the middle 3 sets at ideal 2.4km pace. Total mileage, including warm up etc is about 5km.
Most of you should feel that the workouts are hard while you are at it but you recover quite fast from it once you stop. It should also not be draining that you cannot function at your full capacity after that.
It is hard workout but it will deliever what magazines and books promised; speed and efficiency. It is not for the.. 'remember remember the 5th of march...' event although i do feel that i needed to express my love in some tangible ways after the feasting.
Hang in there!
