The Workout
We do an easy 1 or 2km warmup jog followed by about 10 minutes of dynamic stretches. You can expect 15 to 40 minutes of moderate to fast running with breaks dispersed throughout. Since everyone has a different pace, the route is set up so that we are rejoining each other after each interval.
Sample workout:
- 1200 meters
- 1000 meters
- 800 meters
- 3 x 200 meters
- at 5 km pace,
- all with 3 minutes or longer recovery.
