Top 10 Run Workouts of 2023
The most popular workouts on my website over 2023, where predominantly published before 2023. Only two articles were published this year (Double Neha’s Fartlek – which is an extension of a workout that was published in 2019; and Paul Huddle & Roch Frey’s Secret Ironman Run Workout for World Domination), and others were publish as far back as 2015 (Carpenter’s Perfect 20-Minute Workout) the year I first started publishing these workouts to make it easy for my athletes to follow along with. Since then I’ve published over 400 run workouts as part of my popular Friday Fartlek Run series, where each Friday I post a different run workout (Friday Fartlek is used as it makes a great illiteration, rather than sticking strictly to the traditional western interpretation of ‘fartlek’).

Sunday Smart-Trainer Session – Martin Gibala Intervals VII
Doing repeated short bouts of exercise at very high intensity develops a number of physiological systems in the body. Predominantly it provides a great training stimulus for the neuromuscular system. Although not specific to endurance events, training the neuromuscular system can bring on your fitness very quickly and is still a massive benefit for endurance athletes especially early in the season or if you are unfit. This workout can be done by beginners or experienced cyclists alike because a max sprint is all about your level of effort and is likely to be different from another rider.

Friday Fartlek Run – Tempo Run #1
Running at maximum intensity for about an hour will be done at or just below your threshold pace. When an event is longer than this your race pace will be further below threshold at Tempo pace. The best way to prepare the body to handle this intensity is to spend time running at it. This workout is great to include early in your build-up to expose the body to a slightly higher intensity. This is a key workout within the Project 1:50 training plan to help runners achieve the goal of running a ½ Marathon under 1:50hr.
