Thursday: Speed Training

Thursday, April 11th, 2013

How to Increase Your Speed is a question that is commonly asked among individual’s new to distance running, and the answer is not running faster on your long runs, but increasing your V02Max with short burst, high intensity interval training.  For example, Running 800 Meters at an increased pace (compared to your race pace and much faster than your race pace), resting, and repeating the exercise bout has been proven to help increase overall speed on distance runs and overall speed in general.

Speed Training

Run 1 Mile
Rest 4-5 Minutes
Run 400 Meters
Rest 2 Minutes

Repeat 2-3 Rounds

Need some extra fun?! After circuit, sign up for our FREE Ab Workouts eBook and pick one and perform!

Tuesday: Tempo Run

Tuesday, April 9th, 2013

Tempo Run for Speed Training

Your running pace should be constant and difficult to maintain. It should not be impossible to reach the 20 minutes, but the point is to push yourself to run harder and faster than you normally would on a distance run. This is a great tool for increasing speed on future distance runs, boosting metabolism, burning calories, and working on lower body strength/endurance all in a short workout.  Speed Training

Stretch/Warm Up

Tempo Run – 20 Minutes or 2.75 miles
