Speed training for all distances!!!

SPEED TRAINING

Speed training will help you to bring your time down on all running distances and will give you that kick for the last 3km! The trick is to let your body get used to hitting the wall and work through that. It will also bring down your comfortable pace and that will give you new pb's.....

Today I will share with you a training session of 10 x 300m's.

● First you have to warm up, jog 1km easy around the track.

● Then stretch for at least 10min until you are loose to prevent injuries! 

● Start to jog towards the 300m mark from the finishing line anti clockwise. 

● When you reach the 300m mark accelerate to 5km race pace or as hard as you can go.

● When reaching the finishing line start jogging to the 300m mark and repeat.

● After you have done 5 x 300m's rest for 5 - 10min.

● After you have rested start jogging from the finishing line clockwise toward the100m line.

● When reaching the 100m line accelerate to the finishing line.

● Repeat until you have done 5 x 300m's.

● After training warm down for 1km and stretch for 10min.

Hope this speed training session will help you.

HILL TRAINING

HILL TRAINING

● Hill training will always be a wall for many runners but the best is to get POSITIVE about hill training because that is the one thing that will reduce your times in races. If you start to enjoy hill's then you will start to love running even more!!!

● The trick then is to make hill training fun!!!

● This training is called ROLLING HILLS 

● You have to search for an area where there is many hill's and not just one hill.

● Then instead of running one hill up walking down and repeat, you keep on running the hole time. That means you will get more training and time on your legs. 

● When you founded your area with lots of hills you must make a route that is about 20min long or 4km. The route must be up and down but make sure all the big hill's is on the upside of your route. 

● Warm up before you start your route. Then on the route, the trick is down hill you jog easy at marathon pace and when you reach a up hill you run at 5km race pace.

● Start by doining one lap of the route or 20min. When it starts to feel easy you can dubbel the lap or 40min. If you are a comrades runner, do 3 laps or more.

● Remember to warm down and stretch after the hill training.

Safe running
