How to run it
Warm up for 10 minutes, then run 3 x 1.2 km at goal pace with 2 min of easy jogging after each, and cool down for 10. Aim for even reps rather than a fast first one; the last should feel hard but in control.
What it's for
Reps at goal pace teach the rhythm you'll race at, in chunks you can hold, so the pace feels familiar on race day.
