1200m 10k Pace Running Intervals
The following 10k pace interval chart can be used to establish the correct paces for 1200m intervals run at 10k pace, with a 200m recovery. Paces are shown as metric and imperial, along with target paces for the 1200m interval and 200m recovery.
10k Pace Intervals - 1200m at 10k pace (0 - 2% Faster than 10k pace), 200m run recovery (50-70% slower than 10k pace).
