Friday Fartlek Run – Goater’s Hill Sequence C

Running in hills develops leg strength as well as the strength of the tendons and ligaments around the knee and ankle. Developing leg strength is important, as it makes for a more powerful contraction of the leg muscles to propel you forward faster. Including hills regularly, particularly early in your build-up will see great dividends in the improvement of your running. This workout is great to include early in your build-up to develop leg strength.

How To Track Running Shoe Distance

Tracking the distance you have ran in your running shoes is important to assist with avoiding future injuries by replacing your shoes before they have been used to much. Usual recommendations are for 600-1,000 kilometres (400-600 miles). Stick to the lower end of this range if you are a larger, heavier runner, or if you are prone to injuries. If you are a smaller or more petite runner, the higher end is sufficient.

Friday Fartlek Run – Garmin Recommended Tempo Run #1

Tempo is an intensity that means different things to different athletes and coaches. For me, I define Tempo as an effort comfortably below the Threshold pace. It is the sort of intensity that if you had to you could maintain for a duration longer than a half marathon. It is higher than the aerobic running pace, sort of in the mid-zone between the two levels. Spending more than 15-20 minutes at this intensity, helps the body practice clearing the small amount of lactic acid generated at this pace, without needing to slow down to do so. This is a perfect session for runners and triathletes running events up to full marathons and further.
