Solidify strength and speed with these go-to workouts for every runner
Running workouts don’t have to be complex to yield results. If you’re not in the mood for navigating through a workout with varying splits and paces, consider pulling one of these straightforward, go-to sessions from your arsenal.
Whether you’re new to running, or a seasoned athlete with a collection of medals, you can customize the interval lengths to match your skill level. If you’re looking for even more intensity, increase your effort or extend the duration of the more challenging segments, or alternatively, reduce the recovery periods.
Simple interval repeats
Warm up with five-10 minutes of easy running or fast walking, and insert some dynamic running drills after your legs are warm (all levels).
For beginners::
Run at a sustainable pace for one minute, followed by two minutes of brisk walking to recover (always feel free to extend the recovery time to three minutes, or shorten your running time to 30 seconds).
Repeat for 20-30 minutes.
Intermediate:
Run at a moderate pace for two minutes, followed by one minute of easy running.
