Easy running should be at comfortable conversation pace depending on your level of fitness.

Steady Running is moving up a gear and feeling the effects of breathing and exertion of muscles. Occasional comment to your running mates may be possible.

The 1Km intervals with rest period in between should be run strongly but with even pace throughout. The recovery period is intended to bring Heart rate back to lower level but not necessarily back to resting rate.

This programme is intended to improve fitness level and achieve better time for your 5K Race.

It is important that if you have an illness or any medical condition that you consult with your doctor before engaging on any exercise programme, examples would be obesity, asthma, diabetes or any heart condition.

Running is fun and beneficial to health if undertaken sensibly.

If you wish to receive specialised personal coaching please let us know and we will provide that service on a professional basis.

You will be mailed the second phase training module at the end of the first period.

If any further information will help please let us know.
