Session is a bit longer this week but the intensity doesn’t build until the latter end of the set. As well as being an interval session it is also an exercise in pace control. It is a set of 400s, 800s and finally a 1600m. The idea of the session is to run the 400s at the same pace as you can hold for the full 800s and 1600m. So for example if you run your 400s in 90s you should run the 800s in 3:00 minutes and the 1600m six minutes. A warning, very few people get this right, they run the initial 400s too quickly and then cannot hold the pace for the 800s and the 1600m. The 400s should feel very comfortable, cruising, working a bit for the 800s and really digging in to hold the 400 pace over the full 1600m
