Speedwork Sessions #29 – The Gornsky

The Gornsky is a workout inspired by a friend. Aptly named because you will be a goner once it is done. It’s short in distance but does require a hard effort. If you are training for a 5 or 10 event, then this is the type of workout that will help build up those faster […]

Speedwork Sessions #27 Fartlek

Farting is not what fartlek is about. It’s a Swedish word that means ‘speed play’. The great thing about fartlek sessions is that they can be structured, or unstructured. You could have random intervals, or you could have regular intervals. These particular intervals challenge me but are achievable. The Warm Up 10 minutes easy 3 […]

Speedwork Sessions #26 Three by Three’s

We have all heard of the saying that good things come in three (but then again so do the bad things right?). Regardless of where the saying comes from this weeks workout is all about 3’s. This workout will be utilising pacing zones.  You’ll need to work out your pacing zones to determined which pace […]

Speedwork Sessions #25 Get Over It

Hills. Every runner loves to hate them. Hills, however, aren’t all that bad.  As the saying goes.  Hills are speedwork in disguise. This week’s speedwork session is about embracing those hilly climbs. The magic of the hills is keeping pace with elevation.  This combination alone helps you make you a stronger runner.  That way when […]

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 […]
