This might be the most versatile run workout you’ll ever do.

From sharpening your 5K pace to making marathon pace feel easier, this session hits everything: VO2 max, endurance, running economy, and that all-important ability to handle lactate without blowing up.

In this video, I take you through my go-to 8 x 1K session (with a bit of a love/hate relationship 😅), explain exactly why it works, and show you how to adapt it for your own level — whether you’re chasing a parkrun PB or building towards the marathon.

Trust me… this one hurts, but it’s worth it.
