3x2k R90-2min 9min 50 means?

[SimonC10]

Regarding the sub50min training, I was wondering what the following mean??
I don't understand the part from R90/R60...onwards.
03 start with 3x2k R90-2min 9min 50 (4.55 per k) T
08 start with 5x1k R60 - 90 4min 45 to 4min50 L

Thanks, Simon

Hi Simon and welcome to the forums


03 start with 3x2k R90-2min 9min 50 (4.55 per k) T

3 times 2000m with Rest of 90 seconds to 2 minutes .. pace 4.55 per k = 9 minutes 50 seconds per 2k

08 start with 5x1k R60 - 90 4min 45 to 4min50 L

5 times 1000m with Rest of 60 seconds to 90 seconds .. pace 4 minutes 45 seconds to 4 minutes 50 seconds

hope this helps
