Evening Interval Training with QUBTri

10 min warm up
5 x 1 mile tempo (85% effort approx 6:40 min mile pace)
90 sec recovery between each effort
10 min cool down + stretch

Notes/

Warm up and cool down consist mainly of running, starting slow and building up pace to warm the muscles. I like to stretch as well mainly groin, hamstrings, quads back and ankles. I also use a prolonged deep squat with gentle rocking which helps prevent sore shins (not scientifically proven). Before running I take 5 mins of stretches as part of a warm up. Post running is a bit longer once indoors between 15-40mins.
