Treadmill / Session / Intermediate

Threshold intervals

Long intervals at a comfortably hard pace, about the pace you could hold for an hour. They raise the speed you can keep for a long time.

Duration
≈ 45 min

The session

  1. Warm up: 10 min easy, then 3 × 20 s a little faster.
  2. 3 × 8 min at threshold pace (you can speak only a few words), incline 1 %, 2 min easy jog between.
  3. Cool down: 10 min easy.

Tips

  • Controlled, not all-out: the last interval should feel as hard as the first one felt at the end.
