  • I don't do enough workouts that tickle the anaerobic side of things.

    I run long hills. Is it as simple as working in one session a week of hard effort short hill intervals?

    Any tips for a good type of workout to start off with?

  • Hill
    15minute warm up
    8 - 10 reps of 35 seconds up and jog back down
    10 min cool down

    Intervals
    15min warm up
    12 x one minute on (say 5k pace) one minute recover (ideally jog it but walk)
    10 min cool down

    • with this one you can try 4 x 3 minute intervals with 1 minute rest and 4 x 1 minute intervals at faster pace with 1 minute rest.

    Progression
    10 mins @ 5k pace + 30%
    10mins @ 5k pace + 15%
    10 mins @ 5k pace
    Cool down 5 mins

    • with this one you can change the times so that you extend the faster ranges
    • you can reduce to 2 longer blocks of 20 mins.
