Friday Fartlek Run: Gareth’s Tempo Run A

Running at maximum intensity for about an hour will be done at or just below your threshold pace. When an event is longer than this your race pace will be further below threshold at Tempo pace. The best way to prepare the body to handle this intensity is to spend time running at it. This workout is great to include early in your build-up to expose the body to a slightly higher intensity.

Monday’s with Jessica [Ep 70]: Fast Shoes for a Fast Race

This week was a week full of training, and a step up in pace along all the boards of my runs. Usually I just have one run a week where I focus on intervals, pushing and holding the pace, but leading into my half marathon in less than two weeks Ray has added in pace into all three of my runs, making me focus on hitting the correct paces, but also holding and repeating them throughout what is on schedule.

Sunday Smart-Trainer Session: Martin Gibala Intervals XXVIII

Doing repeated short bouts of exercise at very high intensity develops a number of physiological systems in the body. Predominantly it provides a great training stimulus for the neuromuscular system. Although not specific to endurance events, training the neuromuscular system can bring on your fitness very quickly and is still a massive benefit for endurance athletes especially early in the season or if you are unfit. This workout can be done by beginners or experienced cyclist alike, because a max sprint is all about your level of effort and is likely to be different from another rider.
