Not a very commonly used
form of running, but can be a fun way of training.
Literally it means “pair run”, but is basically
a relay which can be done with two or more people.
The relay comprises of one
of the team running whilst the others rest,
before they get to go again.
Often a gentle jog is
put in, between efforts, back to the changeover point, for the
recovering athlete(s). If teams are evenly
matched this can produce a competitive element
into a training session.
