About The Session

Starting at the Newton Park Pub on Benton Road this is a float session round 2 loops of the Newton Park course (8k total running)

Run 1k float (steady pace) then 3k tempo and repeat once more. You will run the Newton Park course twice.

Float workouts are purposely designed to help you push through discomfort while still maintaining a fast pace. They do this by eliminating an easy recovery jog. Instead, the recovery (“float”) portions are run at a rather quick pace.
