Updated 12 Oct 2026.

Develop your technique. Sharpen your speed. Build your aerobic engine. Have fun doing it. 

The coach takes us through drills to develop our running technique before moving on to an interval session. The intervals are time-based (as opposed to distance-based) in order to accommodate everyone. The standard guide is push as hard as you feel comfortable with. 

Week on week the coach cycles through different interval sessions varying between threshhold, aerobic/VO2Max and anaerobic/speed to help us adapt. We do like to mix it up.
