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 15KM moderate workout

This is another one that I am growing to love in the training program. A nice little mid-week 15-16KM at a moderate pace. What is termed by moderate – well if your aim is to run your marathon at 5min/KM, then moderate is either slightly slower or slightly quicker than this. I personally like the slightly quicker option and in this instance would advocate around 4.52-4.55/KM for this particular athlete.

This workout gets you running at or just under marathon race pace for what is a decent amount of time and gives you the added confidence of being able to maintain this pace for race day. The pace should be comfortable though and if you are battling then you need to re-evaluate again.
