Intensive interval training
In this subject, we will focus on
intensive interval training and also implement it in practice.
This type of training is very effective when applied correctly
and can help improve running performance.
Interval training is a training methodology in
running, characterized by a systematic alternation between
stress and recovery phases (intervals) in a training session.
The recovery phases, also known as
rewarding breaks, are performed at a
slow jogging pace and do not lead to
complete regeneration. Interval training is an effective method to increase
endurance and improve running performance. Many runners use
interval training to prepare for a race, as it enhances the
ability to move at a faster speed and
endure for a longer period of time.
When
intensive interval training is properly executed, it can significantly improve
your running performance and that of your clients.
In this subject of
the
running coach training,
we will also implement this demanding but effective type of training in practice.
We will explore how to effectively utilize this method to increase endurance.
The recovery phase is an
essential component of endurance training. The duration of
recovery phases should be adjusted to the intensity and volume of the training.
The heart rate is an important indicator for
the recovery phase. The behavior of the heart rate during the recovery phase
mainly depends on the performance and training condition. A
heart rate of 120 beats per minute serves as a rough guideline
for the start of the next stress phase. Runners with a lower
maximum heart rate (high maximum heart rate (> 195 beats per minute) can start the
next interval stress at a heart rate of 130 beats per minute. The optimal
recovery value can be determined through lactate measurement.
