Dear Dashers,
Tonight we're going to have a small change of scenery and run the 8x400m (3
min recovery) as a fartlek session along the Long Walk.
The 400m efforts should be run HARD - somewhere between 1500m and 3k pace;
you've got a good 3 minutes recovery, so can afford to really push hard (but
remember you have 8 to do!)
Here's the plan:
- Warm up to the path opposite the Frogmore entrance on the Long Walk.
- Form into 4-6 groups depending on 5k pace.
- Each group runs 4x(90s with 3 minute walk/jog recovery along the Long
Walk).
- During the recovery, the group should re-form ie the faster runners in
each group should jog back to join the slower runners
- Once you've done 4 reps, turn and do 4 more heading back up the Long
Walk
- Warm down back to the clubhouse.
Each group should take collective responsibility for timing their reps, so
please remember to wear a watch!
Please drop me a line if you've got any questions!
Happy miles,
Chris.
