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!

4,3,1 cycle session


Ever since training with Sean Williams Sweat Sydney squad, I have been introduced to a session that I hadn’t really done in the past, although I am finding it to be highly beneficial.

It involves running a 4KM off of a 20 minute cycle, 3KM off of a 15 minute cycle and then a 1KM flat out. If you finish in the allocated time then you jog for the rest of the time left in the cycle and then begin the next one. As always much easier to do this sort of session in a group where there are people to push you but highly beneficial.

This session appears tough the first time that you do it but as you improve you find that things are a lot more comfortable and the faster pace comes a little easier.

I have definitely learned a lot about my running through performing this session and will continue to do it regardless of where I end up in my running.

Try it - you may like it!
