Endurance Pyramid (900m)

Endurance Pyramid (900m)

This session is a simple pyramid session.

25m / 50m / 75m / 100m / 125m / 150m / 125m / 100m / 75m / 50m / 25m

Starting with 25m, and then adding 25m on each rep, until 150m, and then taking 25m off each rep until you are back down to a single 25m.

Why We Like This One

This type of session is good because:

• There is no pressure on pace
• You can focus on technique – and holding technique – throughout.

Rest Intervals

Keep the rest intervals quite tight.

I would start at 15s rest after the 25m and then add 5s per 25m. So 15s for 25m, 20s for 50m, 25s for 75m, 30s for 100m etc.

Increasing Slightly?

You can make this session as long or short as you want to. Instead of stopping at 150m and then ‘coming down the other side of the pyramid’, you could go to 175m, 200m and so on, before coming back down.
