High Intensity Training
Run faster by running less?
It’s not quite a “10-minutes a day to great abs” story, but you can expect to see a lot about this in the media over the next few days. A recent study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology showed significant benefit for runners using a pretty short, high-intensity workout.
An article in Science Daily reports:
Over the course of seven weeks, runners were able to improve performance on a 1500-metre run by 23 seconds and almost by a minute on a 5-km run — and this despite a 50 per cent reduction in their total amount of training.
