Usually interval training with the my running club (Bryn Bach Park RC) in Wales UK at least once a week
just started doing tempo work via HR range. does that count as speedwork?
Hey Stu I have run with you. You don’t need any speed work, you’re fast enough
Do you mean besides the two pots of coffee?
I’m starting to do like 10 -300M all out sprints (in the grass with my toe shoes), with a minute rest in between (once a week). Or I do a 5 mile run in the desert (I live in Las Vegas) to a hill section, then do 8-10 hill repeats, then back. I’m starting to feel the benefits after only a few weeks.
Fartlek for sure, because it’s easy and fun. Generally my mid week runs of 10 k or so I alternate mid tempo and fast tempo kilometers. I do about one track workout every 3 to 4 months. Too many nice trails and paths to run . . .
Do short races count as “speedwork”? If so, then short races also.
No speedwork other than the occasional speeding up randomly just cuz I feel like it.
