JAIMPROVE YOUR 5KM TIME WITH THIS RUNNING PLAN 🏃🏼♂️
1) Interval Session
Focus on improving your threshold by running faster for shorter periods. Session examples are:
12 x 400m with 60s rest (faster than target pace)
6 x 800m with 90s rest (slightly faster than target pace)
4 x 1000m with 120s rest (at target pace)
3 x 1600m with 150s rest (at target pace)
2) Tempo Run
Tempo pace should be ‘comfortably difficult’ and just below your threshold pace. It will hurt but not enough to make you want to stop. Aim for distances between 6-10k at this pace and get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Session examples are:
6km Tempo
8km Tempo
10k Run (2k easy, 3k tempo x2)
3) Long Run
This should be an EASY pace and is used to build your aerobic capacity. I’d recommend getting these done on the weekend where you have the most amount of time. Slowly increase the distance each week and remember - this is an easy pace and you should be able to maintain a conversation during this run. Session examples are:
Anything longer than 5km and slowly build up the distance. Start at 6km and add 1-3km every week until you’re comfortably running 15-20km.
