Session Focus

  • Technique 20% 20%
  • Speed 80% 80%
  • Threshold / Tempo 50% 50%
  • Endurance 20% 20%

This session is all about nudging up your VO2 max.

The efforts are at a fast pace so you need to take a nice easy recovery between them.

Ideally you’ll be a consistent pace throughout each rep – and also consistent across the reps!

If you aren’t sure which level to do, head over to our Training Plans section, or simply work through one each week starting at Level 1!
