Thursday: Speed Training

Thursday, May 16th, 2013

Need help with Speed Training? 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

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
