Pyramid session: 200m, 400m, 600m, 800m, 1000m, 800m, 600m, 400m, 200m 6 x 800 metres (200 jog recovery) 8 x 600 metres (200 jog recovery) 5 x 1000 metre (200 jog recovery) 12 x 400 metres (200 jog recovery) 30 min Parlauf (Approx 1 minute recovery, between reps) 4 x 1200 metres (400 metres jog recovery) 3 x 1600 metres (400 metres jog recovery) The aim of the sessions are to get you running at around 85% of your capacity. All laps should be run at the same pace, so it might seem easy at first, but will get progressively harder to maintain the same pace over the last few reps. For example, someone running 8 x 400 metres at 90 seconds a lap should run something like this: 89, 88, 90, 89, 89, 91, 92, 87 If you are able to run an 80 second lap at the end you have run to easy early on, likewise if you start by running flat out you may not be able to complete the session, or end up taking 2 minutes to run you last rep. The (200m) jog recovery between reps is also very important. It is not a walk, and should be completed in around the same time that it takes you to run 400 metres
