Tempo Sessions
Pick a route suitable for tempo (can be road/circular/or on a specific stretch of road)
Repeats
Repeats involve running an effort at a high intensity followed by a recovery period. This is then repeated a number of times to make up the session. The effort should ideally be as consistent and even as possible across the number of repeats.
| Name | No. | Effort | Recovery |
|---|---|---|---|
| Short1 | 12 | 01:30 | 01:00 |
| Short2 | 8 | 01:30 | 01:30 |
| Medium1 | 7 | 03:00 | 01:30 |
| Medium2 | 7 | 02:00 | 01:30 |
| Long1 | 5 | 05:00 | 02:00 |
| Long2 | 4 | 04:00 | 02:30 |
Ladders, lamp posts and others
