I have had an 18-month hiatus with posting speedwork sessions. It occurred to me that the last session was posted back in 2016. I included the workouts on my free page, but failed up update the blog.
So this doesn’t happen again, I have created a list in my Done App, and you shall now see speedwork session posts every month.
Without further ado let’s get faster with this months speedwork session.
Ideally, this workout should be done on a track or oval. This will help you to monitor your speed and effort.
Your aim is to make each split just that little bit faster.
