Good idea I've just done week one. I did 6 x 1km at club on Tuesday so counted those as the intervals, then did my long run and a beach run so I played a joker for the T run. I need to plan this week. How is everyone else getting on?

Played a Joker in my first week but ran a full set last week. Trying to decide what to do this evening.

The suggested sessions are just a guide - I know Silvershadow is interpreting a few of the sessions to fit in with what works at club nights etc.

So if I do hills instead of intervals this week, do I still count it as an Ace? What if I do different intervals? My midweek run is likely to be on the treadmill and I think I'd kill myself if I did intervals for that long in the gym. |

Are you pushing hard up the hills, or just including them in your route?

As for 'different' intervals, I think that's ok. The key part (I think) is that you accumulate some time at something quicker than your 5k time

OK, that makes sense. For hills I was thinking of proper hill reps, or the hill programme on the treadmill, not just a hilly run.
