This session challenges your body's ability to recover quickly between intense bursts of running, enhancing your cardiovascular fitness and speed.
The social aspect of running with a partner provides motivation and makes the workout more engaging. It's a fun way to test your current fitness levels in a structured environment while also encouraging healthy competition and camaraderie.
This session is suitable for runners who enjoy working with others and are looking to improve their competitive running skills.

Coaches or runners can modify distances or the number of laps to accommodate different fitness levels.

Communication and strategy are key, so discuss your strengths and weaknesses with your partner to define the best approach to split the 10k. Stay hydrated and ensure proper nutrition to maintain energy levels throughout the session.
