Hi all, This weeks virtual sessions are below. Unfortunately we can't offer a Zoom session this week. Tuesday - Decreasing intervals This session is also delivered by Suzanne in the video below. You're going to run 1 mile, followed by 1km, then 800m, then 600m and finally 400m. The aim is as the distance reduces your pace should increase. So aim for 5km pace for the 1 mile and the try to increase your pace for each interval. Have a 90 second walk/very slow jog recovery between each interval. It's a tough session, but really good to improve your 5km pace. Thursday - Hills Find a long hill. Run up and down the hill 6 time. After the 6th time have a 2 minute walk recovery. Repeat this a further…
