Uncover your inner athlete!

Every morning in Africa a gazelle wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the fastest lion or it will be eaten.. Each morning in Africa a lion awakes - it knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle or it will starve.


No matter if you are the lion or the gazelle, when the sun comes up you had better be running!

The outcome of intervals

This morning was a session that I have not done in a while. The good old 6x3x200m at 3KM pace. Resting between intervals for up to 90s and having 3 mins rest (jog or walk) between sets. This was preceded by a warm up of 3KM and followed by a cool down of 3KM.

Although it has been said to me many times previously, this session really has the effect of making you instantly want to run quicker. After completing it, the instinct is automatically to go quicker in the cool down. Usually this is a session that I would do in the last few weeks prior to a marathon, but something just made me want to do it this morning.

Try this session to add some welcome variety and speed to your training. As always though sticking to paces and principles are integrally important to not blowing out the session.
