I am looking for a staple workout to try next fall for my guys. When I came across on YouTube,a group of Kenyans doing 1 minute hard 1 minute easy session, for a total of 12 reps,I assume at 5k pace. It got me thinking of trying something like that.Do any other high school or college teams do anything like this?
I’ve been doing this workout for many years, sometimes up to 30x1 and find it useful. Don’t dawdle on the 1 minute recoveries, just back off to recover but not a slow jog.

I am thinking of starting them with 12 and jogging the recoverys, then working from there as they get fit, but the jogging will be at a honest pace, I am also not afraid to start them at 45 seconds eather. I might try some 30 second pick ups for them after the last one.
Kenyans didn't invent doing this.
