Week 10 - 1.1 Run "5x1km Intervals"

June 07, 2018

Week 10 - 1.1 Run "5x1km Intervals" 

  • 5x1000m Intervals,
  • Rest 2 min between each
  • Record time for each interval
  • Do not exceed the 10% rule

You are to set a strong 1km time, which you are then to maintain 5 times. If you are unable to maintain the 10% rule, you did not pace yourself correctly.

Always warm up etc before commencing. We strongly recommend having a Heart Rate monitor, and already knowing your max. HR, and optimal HR zones.

Maintain the 10% rule. For example, if your first interval is 4:00, do not deviate from this time by more or less than 10%. If you are unable to stay within the 10%, stop. We’re looking for consistency over an extended period of training.


IF you are not at the standard where you are able to attempt or complete these, or you want a program to improve at any of these activities, have a look at our Complete Strength & Conditioning Program, successfully completing this program will bring you to the level where you are able to set competitive times in workouts like these. You should already have a firm base before attempting this volume of training and our programs are developed to get you there.
