Interval training is an excellent alternative to long classes. Especially if you never have a lot of free time. Like strength training, running interval training will not take much time (about 30-35 minutes) and at the same time will perform all the functions required of it: it will help get rid of excess fat, improve metabolism and strengthen your cardiovascular system.

Another plus — it does not require special equipment and thanks to the change of pace will not seem monotonous (sometimes it really matters!).

So, I offer you several options for interval running training for beginners and those who already have a short experience.

Tips from experts

Running shoes. Most running shoes are designed for 500 miles (about 800 km) «run » before the sole begins to collapse. Therefore, if you are actively running, it is recommended to change your sneakers once every 6 months to avoid injury.

Choosing the correct step length. In order to run effectively and at the same time avoid injury, you need to choose your stride length. How to do it? When you run, your feet should touch the ground directly under your body. If your body tries to jump all the time, it means that you need to increase the step a little.

Increasing the load.The load should be increased gradually. Increase the speed, resistance, or duration of your workout once a week by 10%. In order to move on, you need to break out of your comfort zone.
