Thank you for this! I had the hardest time finding specific, time-based interval ideas. I used your suggestions to build out my half marathon training. Thanks!!
Just found your channel (and Ben’s) and I’m watching them for inspiration. New runner but loving it. Signed up for the 100k Peak District Challenge next year. Go big, or go home 🤣
I watched this before I went out got my first interval session of a new training block and it was so helpful! Sarah’s tip about programming my Garmin was a game changer, I’ve had mine for c10 years and had no idea I could do this 😂 Also followed Sarah’s advice about keeping the intervals comfortably hard (normally I head out way to fast and then can’t sustain the effort) and was able to complete the whole session 🎉
This is just what I need, been an on/off runner for 35yrs just for weight control, but now at 54 have the stupid urge to do a 50k trail ultra and needs something to help improve my speed and stamina, great channel.
This was very helpful. I have typically dreaded speed days because I could seldom reach or maintain the target pace so felt like the session was a failure. To hear from someone like you that such sessions are still productive will, I think, liberate me from that dread & prompt me not to bail on speed sessions. Thanks, Sarah.
yeah it can become quite stressful if you're aiming for paces and not hitting them so doing it on perceived effort will be far more productive and enjoyable :D
I've been running for over a year now and interval/speed sessions have always been so hard for me. this video really helped so, so much and I actually really enjoyed my last speed session! thank you for being so down to earth and so relatable in all your videos!
Thanks for interval session ideas. Been trail running for 9 months in preparation of UTA50 and after it want to go back to more fast road running. These interval ideas will be a great way to get back in to it.
Think the best tip there was definitely not to overdo the sessions and rinse yourself. I’m still guilty of that sometimes and have to go first thing in morning so do start to dread doing them. Learning to ease up has made it much more fun and you feel a bit stronger as you feel like could go harder if needed to. Thanks!
Thank you so much for this Sarah!! I started running at the beginning of lockdown and have been watching you and Ben. At the beginning my 5K time was 30 minutes and now i just did a 5K the other day in 24 minutes 7 seconds!! I've done a couple of speed sessions but really didn't know what I was doing, so gunna try one out tomorrow I think, I've programmed session 3 into my garmin all ready to go!!
For the very beginning I would recommend an accelerating interval of 200 to 400m where you can finish with 80 or 95% of max speed and even about 90% of max HR. If you go hard on the full interval your HR Diagram will show a big bump up and a very slow drop down, but the acceleration will produce a high pitched sawtooth pattern with a rather steep than bumpy incline and a very rapid, sharp decline. Even as a very beginner you go to a high muscular effort, high heartrate but only for short moment so it's not that much anaerobic and you can cope with doing four reps and more. With hard interval you would do perhaps 70 to 80% of max speed, but the HR will not drop much between intervals and maybe vary only between 80 and 85% during 3 or 4 reps which get you completely sore.😊
Great rundown of track workouts! I've been a marathoner for 6 years now so my speed work has all been on the roads. But in the last 7 weeks I've been training for a 5k PR, so I've been hitting the track - mostly 10 x 400m workouts... so it's nice to learn more about other possibilities! Thanks for this one! My 5k time trial is this coming Saturday - getting nervous!
yeah the possibilities really are endless! another good one for the track which is quite fun is a pyramid, something like 400, 800, 1200, 1200, 800, 400 with 2 mins walk recovery, quite a fun one! good luck with the 5k tt!!
Brilliant video, I've just restarted running after a 7(ish) year break and my knees are already knackered! I think need to go for shorter sprints instead of distance. Thanks Sarah!
well done for getting back into it! just make sure you're building up really gradually and giving yourself enough time to recover between runs. and work on your running form! check out sage canaday's videos on running form, he has quite a few which are great
@@SarahPlace Thanks for the Sage Canaday recommendation! Being in lockdown has given me something to aim for, possibly an Ultra run in 2022? (if we're allowed!)
Fantastic video, really well laid out! Perfectly timed too given I'm FINALLY about to start introducing more regular speed and hill sessions into my weeks. The quick guide to running series is a great shout 👍
Great temp season Sarah 👏 👏 ... but for the new runners out there... may be show them how to use Garmin Connect and may be set up an Interval session on there watch ☺️
great video..i enjoy the give 5 me speed work out. From zero to five minutes, run at a comfortable, normal pace. At the five-minute mark, increase your speed for one minute. Drop back to normal speed until the 10-minute mark. Do this on the 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, etc.
Thank you so much for the great tips! Is there any chance of you doing a video on a simple strength training routine? I work full time and I’m having trouble fitting everything in without feeling really worn out.
hey lucille, yes i think i will as a few people have mentioned that recently. in the mean time, i find it easiest to fit my strength work immediately after i come back from a short easy run and do 10-15 minutes of just basic stuff, planks, squats lunges etc. and make sure i get my exercise mat out before i leave for my run so i remember to do it when i get back and have no excuses! but if you're worn out then don't worry too much about it, you're doing your best! :D
Today i received my Ben Parks hoody and I absolutely love it !!! Maybe you can have a corner off your own merge that would be amazing! Start with an amazing short and I'm in!
Lists of good info for new runners👏 one thing that put me off when I started a few years back was the idea of running at 5k/10k pace when I hadn’t run either! Your explanation of running at a pace where you still have a bit left over at the end is a great place for new runners to start off👍👍
thanks paul and yeah totally get where you're coming from with the 5k/10k pace, you're absolutely right if you haven't run one how are you supposed to know what it feels like!! in which case then yes it's going to be a lot on feel and effort instead
8:17 ooh I didn't know about this workout feature, thank you! I'm doing a Garmin Coach plan and all the sessions via the coach look like that on the watch, with the screen showing your target pace zone etc. I couldn't figure out how to set up my own custom intervals on the watch to do this. But now I know you have to use Garmin Connect :)) And I wish Garmin automatically stopped auto-lapping during a session. Do the designers ever actually use the features they code in? Why would anyone want the laps all messed up, I always forget to disable autolap and cry after haha
Tip 5 🤩 Great video, good tips and ideas. I’m going to send this video to my friend in America as she has no idea about speed sessions, well she does but doesn’t listen to me 😂
Just did bends (slow) and straights trying out the new (renovated) track close (1.5 km warm-up) from my place which opened 2 weeks ago. I did bends (slow) and straights (fast) as I had it in mind from a GCN video. I'll try yours at the park (since the track is not really needed) but if you have track ideas especially for getting really fast (just for fun) I am taking it (I got faster but am a very long way from fast at 49 and after running only since the lock-down was lifted in May)
Hello Sarah, I used Garmin Coach on my watch to train for a half marathon. It was brilliant (and free!). It lets you change the training plan to fit your needs (change race date or skip a day, change expected finish time) & lets know what it has in store for the day. It made running at different paces for specific times/distance much simpler for me, rather than trying to do mental maths when I'm exhausted! I also create my own workouts, but I found I had to delete some off my watch before they would transfer. I found a few quirks to creating a workout - for instance if you add a repeat and want to add another exercise into the loop, it takes some patience to be able to "drop" this new exercise into this repeat in the correct place. If you change a saved workout, you need to delete it off your watch before the changes transfer across too.
very nice workout tips sarah i begin to train with your sessions!!!...you and Ben help me a lot happy new year with health and back to narmal life.....and running of course!
Great tips Sarah. I would like to train myself and get away from online training plans. This vid is going into my saved vids. Yesterday I did a great workout 5min @zone1, 5min @zone 2, 1min@zone 5, 2min @zone 1, 3min @zone 4, 2min @zone 1, 5min @zone 3, 2min @zone 1, 3min @zone 4, 2min @zone 1, 1min @zone 5, 5min @zone 1. Hard but fun and different. Garmin watch a necessary I think.
Awesome video, thanks for the tips! I have kind of neglected speed work because of not necessarily feeling comfortable with how to do it properly and if I should be doing it at all
Great video as always, will definitely give a few of those a try I’ve not done before. Would be interested in some fartlek run and HR zone training tips for a future video. Keep up the great work 👏🏼
Brilliant vid, very helpful! I really need to start doing speed sessions again! Been building up the mileage again so kept it all easy. Wanna get some speed back though! 👍
This is sooooo helpful Sarah I’d love to see more of these videos! The most surprising and helpful was the garmin workouts I never knew you could do that and that will make life so much easier! One quotation I do have can you do the training at Interval Miles?
I’d love to also see a series for new runners working up to 5 or 10k (if you had time) and maybe a more in-depth description of pacing targets and why you’re targeting those paces. You’re videos are always helpful/motivating and I’m sure that series would be no different!
@@SarahPlace thanks for getting back to me, appreciate it👍 Maybe its now different pending the type of content. Don’t know why I ask....still need 7k subs🤣🤣 Keep up the great work😁
Thanks so much for sharing Sarah! I have tended to incorporate both hill runs and strength training on a weekly basis but have neglected intervals. By the way am I correct in thinking that intervals differ from "fartleks" (speed play) in that the latter is more spontaneous and non-timed?
Hi Sarah, Thanks for this video. I did a Fartlek session last night and didn't rinse myself as per usual, feeling great today. Also thanks for the turn off auto-lap and lap myself for better data. I have one question. I noticed on your Strava you have the warm up/cool down included in the speed session. Do you warm up and then pause your watch to do the drills? or should I warm up then drills then the session? thanks.
The amount of times I’ve forgotten to turn off the auto-lap for an interval session drives me nuts. I watched this just before a run of 1km repeats and made sure auto-lap was off. Awesome work as always!
Can you explain why the paces chosen are the right ones? So if I can already run a 5k at a certain speed, then why do intervals at that speed, not faster? And what is the difference between a tempo pace and 10k pace, for example? Thank you!
Very interesting! It's nice to be able to see phases in Strava.. I have garmin and I tried to press the Back button during workout but it happens that it skips the phases with each click... HELP! Thank you!
It's very helpful if you reply.. I'm running in beach sand I don't my distance..I am following time.. 1mins ×6 reps, rest 1mins walk. How should I improve this..should I increase reps or time?
Hello Sarah, amazing channel !! i am beginner and doing couch 2 5k program , im at week 7 so now i run 25 min without walking at a time, today my heart beat was at like 172 for the second half, but 2 days ago it was at like 150, so today was pretty hard but doable, do you recommand for a beginner like me that i skip 1 day in my c25k program and try a interval program i like the idea like 1 min a bit fast and 1 min walk for like 6 times, do you think its a good idea for me to do this or its not cause im a beginner ? im a bit lost !! ty very much ur amazing
Great video Sarah 👍🏻👍🏻 If you have two hard runs a week (1 speed and 1 long run) when in the week would you put in two leg strength sessions with calf raises/squat/lunges? The same day as hard sessions will probably be to much but the day before or after the hard days then these days maybe does not get easy?
hey kenneth, you could do something like this: monday easy run + strength, tuesday speed, wednesday rest, thursday easy run + strength, friday easy run, saturday long, sunday rest.. but depends how you're feeling throughout the week so don't be afraid to adjust and move sessions around as necessary
Thank you for this! I had the hardest time finding specific, time-based interval ideas. I used your suggestions to build out my half marathon training. Thanks!!

Terrific video running & tips for each wrkt ty Sarah Sarah, Hi fives Sasu & sarah place
Hi Sarah, Thanks for this video. I did a Fartlek session last night and didn't rinse myself as per usual, feeling great today. Also thanks for the turn off auto-lap and lap myself for better data. I have one question. I noticed on your Strava you have the warm up/cool down included in the speed session. Do you warm up and then pause your watch to do the drills? or should I warm up then drills then the session? thanks.
Hi Sarah. Do you create training plans (like Ben does) but for ultra runs? If you do, I'd love to talk about this; how much, personal info, etc.
The amount of times I’ve forgotten to turn off the auto-lap for an interval session drives me nuts. I watched this just before a run of 1km repeats and made sure auto-lap was off.
Awesome work as always!
New subscriber here Sarah
I have a question
Which is better single run or double run?
Sarah, how does speed training fit a runner how is 60+? Any differences? Thanks. :)
Since starting speedwork last year I immediately saw such a difference in my times and form like you say. I love it (but also hate it?)
Can you explain why the paces chosen are the right ones? So if I can already run a 5k at a certain speed, then why do intervals at that speed, not faster? And what is the difference between a tempo pace and 10k pace, for example?
Thank you!
Very interesting! It's nice to be able to see phases in Strava.. I have garmin and I tried to press the Back button during workout but it happens that it skips the phases with each click... HELP!
Thank you!
Thanks
Can you maybe make video how to run when is offseason like now? Only Z2 od do you make also speed session during all year?
Thx for the tips. So now i know running till my hrm says 191bpm is not a good idea.

guess i need to start being faster sometime , been running for 5 years ,still slow
80% off the Time easy running 20% faster running
Oh on the effort point, do you think ever much call to go much faster than 5k pace or is that sufficient?
I cant run because of the quarantine... im looking videos like this to dont loose motivation.
Great video Sarah 👍🏻👍🏻 If you have two hard runs a week (1 speed and 1 long run) when in the week would you put in two leg strength sessions with calf raises/squat/lunges? The same day as hard sessions will probably be to much but the day before or after the hard days then these days maybe does not get easy?
hey kenneth, you could do something like this: monday easy run + strength, tuesday speed, wednesday rest, thursday easy run + strength, friday easy run, saturday long, sunday rest.. but depends how you're feeling throughout the week so don't be afraid to adjust and move sessions around as necessary
Hi Sarah what is a 10k pace ? I want to get faster on my 5ks so how much faster is a 10kpace I do a 5k in 36 mins
Hi Sarà, could you please explain what you mean with Tempo pace?? Is similar to the threshold pace?
something you feel you could hold for around 1 hour, so for most people it's between 10k and half marathon pace
