Hi there! I was curious if there was a general pace guideline that you aim for when doing interval runs? e.g. say you're doing 8x400 with 2 min rest between, do you aim for 5k pace? faster than 5k pace? Thanks for your input!

I don’t typically use the 5KP, 10KP, HMP method for training for two reasons: 

I haven’t run a 5k in like a million years lol

I don’t fit that smooth curve that dictates how your pace increases with distance because I raced 5ks so much in high school and then very abruptly switched to only long-distance (I have a very weird racing strategy as a result)

So if I’m making my own training plan, what I usually do is figure out the pace that I need to run to meet my goal, then determine the paces I should be running for intervals based on that. I prefer this because I feel like it pushes me towards my goal much better!

Here’s an example with my training this summer:

I want to run a marathon in 3:30:00, so I need to average out at approximately 4:58-4:59/km

That means my steady/tempo runs are going to me around 4:48-5:08/km

My intervals that are longer than 4 mi will be around 4:38-4:48/km

My intervals that are between 2-4 mi will be around 4:28-4:38/km

My intervals that are less than 2 mi will be around 4:20-4:36/km

Sprint/stride intervals (30 s, 20 s) are done at fastest sprint possible, always

I hope that helps and please don’t hesitate to ask if you have any more questions, I’m glad to help :)

Completed mission Interval Training #zombiesrun

I thought I was gonna be awesome and make today’s run an interval run, because I'm a badass, right? Hahahahahahaha! I am not nearly as badass as I thought I was, but at least I did it.

What's the difference between a fartlek, a tempo run, and an interval run? Check it out.

Interval Running Is A Whole Lot Easier Than Waking Up At 5AM To Do Them Is

The afternoon temperature will be dropping soon and then I can put this waking up at five in the morning insanity to bed. I’m certainly not a fan if it, so luckily I dislike running in the heat more. Anyway yesterday morning I started something new and exciting, interval running! Oh my goodness I get chills just thinking about it!

I changed things up a little from my weekly drudgery of Monday and…

I can barely move my legs hurt so much 🙈 still managed an interval run (2 walk 3 run for 25 minutes). Now I'm just going to lie here and be still.
