To avoid a bottleneck of activities next week, we are issuing a revision to the week 3 and week 4 training plan this month.
Revised plan:
Week 3 intervals – 3 to 5 reps of 5 mins / 3 mins jog recovery. Looking to increase pace consistently throughout the efforts.
Week 3 tempo – 3k effort (preparation for Imber Court next week)
Week 4 intervals – Hill session – find a reasonable gradient and length hill and run as many reps as you can in 30 minutes. Hard effort uphill, slow jog recovery down. Focus on form; driving those arms forwards and lifting the knees high.
