Intro: This is a quick summary of “ENTRENO COMO JIMMY GRESSIER 🔥🇫🇷” from the Ismanon channel. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the workout today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.

Key Points:

  • The session mimics Jimmy Gressier’s high‑intensity interval training, focusing on threshold‑level paces (~2:56–3:00 min/km).
  • Warm‑up includes 20 min of easy running, mobility work, and light massage to prime the muscles.
  • The main set totals 9 km of intervals on a 3.5 km asphalt loop, with short 2‑minute recoveries between each interval.
  • Heart‑rate is kept around 160 bpm to stay in the lactate‑production zone (≈2–3 mmol/L).

Workout Example:

  1. Warm‑up: 20 min easy run (gradual build, finish with a few short pick‑ups).
  2. Intervals (9 km total):
    • 1 km @ ~2:56 min/km
    • 2 km @ ~2:56 min/km
    • 2 km @ ~2:56 min/km
    • 1 km @ ~2:56 min/km
    • 2 km @ ~2:56 min/km
    • 1 km @ ~2:56 min/km
    • Recovery: 2 min easy jog (or walk) between each segment.
  3. Cool‑down: 1.5 km easy, keeping HR below 120 bpm.

Practical Tips:

  • Use a rolling‑strike shoe (e.g., Puma Deviate Elite) for speed work.
  • Monitor pace and heart‑rate with your Pacing app; aim for ~160 bpm during the intervals.
  • Adjust the interval lengths or pace up or down to match your current fitness level.

Closing Note: Give this Jimmy‑style interval session a go and tweak the paces to fit your own training. Track it in the Pacing app, and feel free to customize the recovery or total distance. Have fun, and keep chasing those faster miles!
