Speedwork Sessions #24 – 1500

I’ve included a lot of shorter distances when it has come to speedwork sessions. Longer intervals are also beneficial, especially if your goal race is the half marathon or marathon. These intervals will help you become resistant to fatigue while building up your endurance. 1500’s The Warm-up 10mins / 1.6km Easy Run The Workout 1500m […]

Speedwork Sessions #23 – 1200

This session is ideal if you are training for a 10k, half marathon or the marathon distance. Determine your pace zones before you do this workout.  Calculators like VDOT will help take out the guesswork. Once you have determined your zones, you will be able to get an optimal workout. 1200’s The Warm-up 10mins / […]

Whether you are a beginner or advance runner, there will be a 30/30 workout for you. 30/30 The Warm-up 10mins / 1.6km Easy […]

Speedwork Sessions #21 – The Wave

Hill Training is important for any runner, but not everyone has access to hills. If you are looking for a workout that simulates hill repeats, then this workout is for you. The wave is designed to emulate rolling hills. Your pace won’t drastically change between sets, but it will be just enough to keep you at […]

Speedwork Sessions #20 – The Magic Mile

The Mile (1.6km) is an underrated distance. Especially when it comes to training. Here in Australia, we use the metric system so the mile gets overlooked. Mile repeats have featured in my speedwork sessions, but this particular workout is designed to get you your best mile. Similar to a time trial, the Magic Mile will […]

Speedwork Sessions #19 – Just 100

There are different types of speedwork sessions based on your goal race. If your goal race is the 5k, then today’s session is ideal.  It’s short & sharp. This workout is called Just 100.  It’s anything but Just. The run distances are short, so go hard. The key to this workout is your recoveries. Just […]

Speedwork Sessions #18

Speedwork Sessions #17

So somehow in my busy life, I forgot to post my speedwork sessions. The last speedwork session I posted was back in May! Opps sorry about that. I have been doing them.  In fact I have been doing a lot of hill repeats in preparation for various trail events. Hill Repeats are still a form of […]

Speedwork Sessions #16

Autumn brings race season. With cooler weather, it’s easier to run faster and longer than in those long hot summer days. Most of my speedwork sessions are ideal for 5-10km goal originated races. However with majority of my races this year being 10km and over I will start including some longer speed training workouts like […]

Speedwork Sessions #15

You could almost call this a tempo workout, because you will be running for a longer period of time. The key phase of this workout is running your 5k pace (or faster) for 1 mile. I prefer to do this workout on the track. While going round and round can be boring, counting laps I […]
