Interval Training....easy beginners work.....TRY IT OUT!!!!
So you may frequently hear runners talking about doing intervals. Intervals, in my personal opinion and experience help you to increase your pace AND gives you that break you need especially when doing longer runs. I LIVE Jeff Galloway methods, but I find that when I do 1:1, my pace is usually right at a 12min mile which is great. Now if you look at his plan, it states a 1:1 is a 13min mile, but that is not set in stone when you really read his thoughts. Below, I posted a beginners interval training that I did on the treadmill when I first started back running again. Try it out!
5 minute warm up!
30 seconds sprint/30 seconds recover
1 minute sprint/1 minute recover
2 minutes sprint/2 minutes recover
4 minutes sprint/4 minutes recover
2 minutes sprint/2 minutes recover
1 minute sprint/1 minute recover
30 seconds sprint/30 seconds recover
10-minute cool-down!
