Coach Simon is absent this week, so I have been entrusted with setting the track session this Thursday.
So this is my take on the legendary 6 x 3 minutes session which is a firm favourite of prominent running coach Martin Yelling. The session is aimed at helping you maximise your 5km potential. In my twist on this session, the recovery time drops as you progress through the reps. The session consists of the following:
Warm-up:
2 Laps Easy and 4 x 50m strides.
6 x 3 minutes at 5km target pace
Standing recovery after Rep 1: 150 seconds
Standing recovery after Rep 2: 135 seconds
Standing recovery after Rep 3: 120 seconds
Standing recovery after Rep 4: 105 seconds
Standing recovery after Rep 5: 90 seconds
Standing recovery after Rep 6: 120 seconds
Warm-down:
3 Laps Easy
Enjoy!
