As with any other intensity the more time you spend running at it the better your body gets at running at that intensity. This session exposes your body to time at your threshold intensity and as a result you will improve your ability to sustain the higher pace in a race. All runners (and triathletes) can benefit from this higher intensity of training, especially athletes with events from 10km out to a marathon.

I needed to develop a short, intense session for an athlete due to the position they have found themselves in due to changes in COVID-19 restrictions where they live. This session targets VO2 max intensity with very limited Rest Intervals (RI). This session is great to build your top end intensity. This is a great session for all runners and triathletes with limited time to train especially those running events between 5km & half marathon.
