Do not scroll past this if you want to get better at the half marathon and marathon.
This is one of my favourite sessions to build lactate tolerance.
We start with two blocks at marathon pace. Just enough to start loading the legs.
Then six hard thirty second efforts. This spikes lactate hard.
Straight after we go into half marathon pace. This is the real point of the session.
Running at that pace while lactate is still high forces the body to clear it while still holding quality pace.
That is exactly what happens late in a half or full marathon. A surge, a hill, a bad patch. You still have to hold pace after.
Train it here so your body already knows how to do it on race day.
Save this if you want to try it yourself.
Here is the full session description
10 min warm up
2x7 mins @ MP effort
2.5 mins easy
6x30s on 30s off hard
2x7 mins @ HM effort
2.5 mins easy
5 min cool down
