Like Running? Why not try a different type of training!
Interval training is built upon alternating short, high intensity bursts of speed with slower, recovery phases throughout a single workout.
How Interval Training Works Interval training works both the aerobic and the anaerobic system. This means athletes can exercise at a higher intensity for a longer period of time before fatigue or burn out.
The benefits of Interval Training Interval training leads to many physiological changes including an increase in cardiovascular efficiency (the ability to deliver oxygen to the working muscles) as well as increased tolerance to the build-up of lactic acid. These changes result in:
- improved performance
- greater speed
- greater endurance.
Interval training also helps avoid injuries associated with repetitive overuse, common in endurance athletes. Adding intervals to a workout routine is also a great way add cross training to an exercise routine.
