Interval Training

So have you been running 2 miles consistently for the last two months and don't feel like you are getting faster or seeing weight lose results? Listen up cause I have some advice that will get over the plateau.


The key to increasing your speed over time in a race and to help with the weight lose process is by integrating interval training into your running routine.

Here are a few workouts that you can do near your local high school track:

Workout #1:

10 minute warm up

2 X 400m As fast as possible

Rest at a complete stop as long as it took to do the 400m

5 X 200m As fast as possible

Rest at a complete stop as long as it took to the 200m

10 minute walk/jog cool down

Workout #2:

5 minute warm up

5 x 400m As fast as possible

Walk 400m during the recovery

5 min walk/jog cool down

______________________________________________________________


Workout #3:

Warm up (jog) 5 minutes

3 x 800m

Jog 400m recovery

2 x 400m

Jog 200m recovery

Cool down (jog) 5 minutes

Do these intervals at 70-75% of your race pace
