800m Intervals

Sets of 800m, with rest periods between each repetition. A great workout for pacing control, endurance and cadence.

Warm Up

  • 5 minutes slow-paced jogging
  • 3 Sets of Strides
    • Run 75m (approximate) at a fast pace (about 80% of your sprint speed)
    • Jog back slowly. THIS EQUALS 1 SET
    • REPEAT FOR 3 SETS IN TOTAL
  • Rest for 3 minutes

 

Main Workout (800m Intervals)

  • Sprint for 800m
  • Rest completely for 3 minutes
    • 1 sprint + 1 rest = 1 REPETITION
  • REPEAT for a total of either 3/4/5/6 repetitions

 

Cool Down

  • 5 minutes slow-paced jogging.

 

Workout Notes

  • This workout must be done on a flat route.
  • Your fast-paced running should feel like approximately 80% of your maximum sprinting speed.
  • The objective of an interval workout is to run at the same pace for every repetition (not to fade as the workout progresses).
