About The Session

This is the same session as the Newton 1k, 2k, 3k but in reverse along the same route. Starting at the Newton Park Pub on Benton Road this is an interval session round 2 loops anti-clockwise of the Newton Park course (8k total running)

3k effort followed by 1k recovery.
2k effort followed by 1k recovery.
1k effort – Finish.

In groups of equal ability start your first loop with a 3k effort followed by a 1k at recovery pace which will take you back to the Newton Park Pub. Start the second loop with your next effort of 2k followed by a 1k recovery. This will take you to the 3k mark. Finish the session with a fast 1k back to the Newton Park Pub.

This session is quite demanding so if its done on a Thursday it is advised if racing at weekend to either just do 1 lap or make the efforts low tempo pace.
