The purposes of these competition track sessions are to continue developing your aerobic, muscular and biomechanical efficiency along with zeroing in on your specific race pace. Your effort level is set according to your heart rate, pace (from your VDOT results) or rate of perceived exertion as shown by the following ranges;
(On flat terrain, intensity will equal your pace as determined by your VDOT, e.g. Threshold Intensity = Threshold Pace)
----------------
Level 1 (L1) – Walking/Jog, 0-68% LTHR, 0-2 RPE
Level 2 (L2) – Easy Pace, 69-83% LTHR, 2-3 RPE
Level 3 (L3) – Marathon Pace, 84-94% LTHR, 3-4 RPE
Level 4 (L4) – Threshold Pace, 95-105% LTHR, 4-5 RPE
Level 5 (L5) – Interval Pace, 106%< LTHR, 6-7 RPE
Level 6 (L6) – Repetition Pace, 106%< LTHR, 7-10 RPE
Level 7 (L7) – Max Effort
–––––––––––––––
Race Intensities:
Above Race Intensity = 1 intensity level above the race intensity you are training for
Below Race Intensity = 1 intensity level below the race intensity you are training for.
-----------------
Warm up:
4 laps easy jogging.
2 laps jog the bends and striding the straights.

10 minutes of general activation warm up. (e.g. Walking lunges, walking with high kicks, skipping, fast feet, forward frog jumps, ski jumps each side of the track line. Take your time- quality over quantity.)

10 minutes of run-specific drill work. (e.g. High knees and ‘squashing the orange’ into a quick run out or bounds. Focus on posture, core engagement and arm drive.)

5 minutes of dynamic stretching. (e.g. Calf raises off a step, leg swings, glute stretching and back stretching. Focus on particular areas of weakness as required.)

-----------------
Main Set:
3x (800m Above Race Pace, 200m at Race Pace)

3x400m at Repetition Intensity (L6) - 200m Easy Intensity (L2) recovery

1x1200m at Race Pace
------------------
Cool down:
1 lap easy jog/walk
Stretching, ice and compression as required.

The purpose of this session is to stress both anaerobic and aerobic systems and to help develop your recovery speed.

Cool Down:
10 minutes of gentle jogging
Stretching and walking (L1)

The purpose of this session is to stress your body while working at your aerobic threshold promoting efficiency. The effort will feel comfortably-hard and is a very important run session. Your effort level is set according to your heart rate, pace (from your VDOT results) or rate of perceived exertion as shown by the following ranges; (On flat terrain, intensity will equal your pace as determined by your VDOT, e.g. Threshold Intensity = Threshold Pace) --------------- Level 1 (L1) – Walking/Jog, 0-68% LTHR, 0-2 RPE Level 2 (L2) – Easy pace, 69-83% LTHR, 2-3 RPE Level 3 (L3) – Marathon pace, 84-94% LTHR, 3-4 RPE Level 4 (L4) – Threshold pace, 95-105% LTHR, 4-5 RPE Level 5 (L5) – Interval pace, 106%< LTHR, 6-7 RPE Level 6 (L6) – Repetition pace, 106%< LTHR, 7-10 RPE Level 7 (L7) – Max Effort --------------- Warm up: Start jogging easily (L1-3) for about 5 minutes as your systems wake up with a couple of 10 second pick-ups increasing the pace for 10 strides or so. --------------- Main Set: Hold Threshold Intensity (L4) for the rest of the duration of the session. Try to keep a high leg turnover when running throughout this session and focus on form. --------------- Cool Down: Some walking, stretching, compression and ice as required.
