Pass rule
each interval faster than the interval before it until max velocity; then hold max velocity, ideally through H9

H1 to H2 is the slowest interval.

Coach notes
  • At the ABCs this becomes a measurable pass condition: if H1 to H2 is not in the low 1.0s, the athlete is still doing it right as long as 2 to 3 is faster than 1 to 2, and 3 to 4 faster than 2 to 3.
