Veckopass 3 - Intervaller och Backe
Third session and wow, what a night. The evening sun was back, and the forest welcomed us in the best possible way. The group is growing every week and the energy with it – extra fun to welcome new faces while familiar ones keep returning. Truly impressive to see everyone tackle hills, intervals, and technical trails in the terrain. Everyone pushes themselves in their own way and based on their own capabilities, and that is exactly what it’s all about. No one is left behind. You cheer, you wait, you struggle together. What we practiced The session began, as always, with a warm-up and running wheel drills – butt kicks and high knees to prepare the body for what was to come. Part one consisted of ladder intervals – up and down on a circular loop in the forest where the body learned to maintain pace in varied terrain. Heart rate up, rhythm locked in. Part two took us up into the hills. Several repetitions in glorious evening sun. Hill running activates muscle groups that are otherwise underused and builds the explosive strength that makes you a stronger runner on all surfaces. And unlike tempo running on flat ground, hills are gentle on joints and tendons.
