FAQ
There are a number of ways to train for 1km, but first it might be a good idea to run 1km a couple of times to get used to the distance and aim for a consistent pace.
Interval training is one straight forward method, where the distance is broken into parts where you can train your body to run each part slightly faster than the whole distance. Eventually your body will adapt and be able to run the whole distance faster.
Example training plan
Day 1: Run 3 x 330m, with 60 second recovery (between each 330m). After completing all 3 runs have a full 5 minute recovery before running the set a second time.
Sunday: If your pace was consistent between sets you might try a 50 seconds recovery.
Monday: Rest day
Tuesday: Train again
Wednesday: Run your 1km TT
If you find you are fully recovered before 60 seconds or it's not hard enough, just reduce the recovery time by 5 or 10 seconds until you get towards 30 seconds, don't go under this time.
Don't run 1km to beat your 1km time on a training day and don't run every day, your body needs some time to recover.
Please contact your coach for a more specific plan.
