Christmas Speed Development 25/12/2025 and 01/01/2026

22 December 2025 - By Jodee Mayer

The Coaching Team will be taking a well deserved festive break and so we have planned 2 festive sessions which are both in Final Surge and are easy to time on any device or can be adapted to, for example, run between lamposts.

They obviously don’t need to be run on Christmas Day and New Year’s Day, do them if and when you want to and we look forward to seeing you back in person on 08 January 2026!

25 December – 60/60 intervals

15 sets of:

• 60 seconds hard running (5k pace or faster)
• 60 seconds rest (we recommend a walk rather than jog so you can hit your paces in the hard 60 seconds).

01 January – Fast, Faster, Fastest

Up to 8 sets of:

• 60 seconds slightly slower than your 5k pace
• 60 seconds at 5k pace
• 60 seconds at slightly faster than your 5k pace
• 90 second recovery (again we recommend walking pace or a slow jog if wish)

You can choose how easy, hard, interesting or challenging you want to make the sessions.

Enjoy the festive break!
