than following the more speed-orientated structure of these schedules.Two key things to remember: The sessions arent set in stone. Be flexible with speeds and distances where you need to, especially if you start to feel tired all the time.Feel free
.PACE KEYJog recovery – a period of extremely slow running (barely above walking pace) in between the efforts in a speed session. Easy – a gentle jog at below 60% working heart rate (WHR). Running at this intensity will help your body recover between harder

this with some speed, you need to turn to interval training.In an ideal world, you'd be able to use your HRM for every kind of training, but it's less than perfect for short intervals. Imagine running 8 x 1-minute reps with three-minute recoveries. Unfortunately
weartesters found them too stiff and bulky, despite an impressively light weight that will lend them to speed sessions and longer races for more midweight runners. In short The FGT300 and FGT Light are like performance cars with slightly woolly, comfort
