Can you beat our Podiatrist Jack’s distance in the Mona Fartlek?

He hit 6.6 km @ 3:02/km pace in 20 minutes.🏃🏻💨

Made famous by Aussie legend Steve Moneghetti, here’s the session:
🏃‍♂️ 4 × 90s on / 90s float
🔥 4 × 60s on / 60s float
💥 4 × 30s on / 30s float
⚡ 4 × 15s on / 15s float
Then… cool down (or lie down 😵‍💫)

“Ons” = 3–5 km pace
“Floats” = Back to threshold effort

Tag your training partner and see if you can beat Jack’s distance 👇

Here we’ve got Dave gearing up for a full VO₂ max test to understand how efficiently he uses oxygen at different speeds.

Recently we went to to talk testing with the team and apparently make some funny faces!

Great to see up close how VALD testing can be used as a tool on the road to recovery!

Who do you think had the strongest calves? 🤔

Are you doing your calf raises but your Achilles still hurts after running?

🦵 You’re strong, but not springy.
Calf raises are only step one. Your tendon also needs a slow progression back to plyos, tempo, and strides. Skip the steps and it will let you know!

👟 Your shoes are overloading it.
Soft, low-drop shoes pull on the tendon more. A higher drop, firmer foam, and slight rocker can calm it down. If you pronate hard, add stability to reduce shear.

Smart load fixes Achilles pain, not more load.
