STEP 1 Use the Hansons Training Pace Calculator to fill in the following paces. Youll reference these paces for your weekly workouts.
This will help you get the most out of each workout, and ensure that your training hits the right zones so you dont go too easy,
or too hard.
__________ : Your goal finish time __________ : Your goal pace (GP)
STEP 2 TEMPO: It should be hard to hold a conversation at this speed, but still a pace you could hold for 4560 minutes if necessary.
RECOVERY PACE: Easy jogging in-between hard, fast intervals; no prescribed speed, just keep moving.
WARM-UP/COOL-DOWN: Easy jogging and a few shorter, faster intervals to get your body ready for a workout, and easy
jogging to recover once youre done.
REST OR CROSS-TRAIN: Total rest, or doing a non-running activity such as weights, yoga, cycling, etc.
NOTATION: In these training plans, minutes and seconds are noted using quotations marks: minutes are denoted using by
