🏃 LAST TRACK SESSION BEFORE SUMMER — THIS WEDNESDAY! 🏃
Bath track is closing for refurbishment, so this Wednesday is your final chance to get on the boards until September. Let's send it off in style!
The session: Fast 400m intervals with 200m recoveries — 8 to 12 reps split across two sets, so you can dial the volume to where your fitness is right now. Sharp, snappy, and seriously satisfying.
Why it works: Those fast 400s with short 200m recoveries are a brilliant hit of speed-endurance. Working at well above 5k pace with only a half-lap to recover trains your body to clear and tolerate lactate, lifts your VO2 max, and teaches your legs to hold form when the pace bites — exactly the qualities that make you faster across every distance, from a mile to a marathon.
Who's it for? Everyone. All abilities welcome — you run your 400s at your effort, so whether you're chasing a PB or just love the buzz of the track, you'll fit right in.
Channel your inner Keely Hodgkinson, lace up, and let's make this last one count before the diggers move in. See you trackside! 👊
Why track sessions are so good ✅
Great for pace control — you learn what different efforts actually feel like
