Intervals are not only for short distance runner - they are a cornerstone of any long distance training plan such as anyone training for a half marathon, full marathon and even ultra marathon. The improvement in your VO2 max will increase your aerobic fitness and enable you to run much longer without getting tired. And it's also not just for elite or fast runner - beginner runner will also greatly benefit in including interval running session in their running training - 5k, 10k, half marathon. It's for everyone!
In this running tip video, I will walk you through the basics when it comes to interval training, why you should include some sessions, how many sessions per week should you have, and how to structure your interval to maximize the impact on your fitness.
Now don't get me wrong - these sessions should only be sporadic - the bulk of your training should still be zone 2 long runs. But intervals are important too. Basically, zone 2 long runs are your bread and butter, and your intervals are the cherry of the cake. ... Well no actually, zone 2 long runs are your bread, and intervals are your butter. ... or are intervals your bread, and long run your butter...
Anyway - intervals are important - trust me!
As always - Thanks for watching and remember -
Work Hard!
Believe in yourself!
Push your limits!
