Each longer rep is at Half Marathon effort and the 1k's after it is "harder" Marathon Specific Workout: 30km run including 3 x 5km (1km recovery). The 3 x 5km should be at Marathon effort and the 3rd km within the 5km should be "faster" - closer to Half Marathon effort. Join us over at: https://www.sweat-elite-coaching.com/matt-fox
