Interval Training

Well it was in the plus digits today, and I had a bye week for my social sports club. So I decided to do some Intervals. I cannot stress the importance enough of running outside. Clean fresh air and it is soo much harder running outside than on a treadmill. I do believe that makes it a better workout all around. Also squats help sprint! I could not believe how easy it was to pump my legs. Since I started powerlifting training I have dramatically increased my speed. I think I may even come out and play some rugby this year.
One exciting thing did happen to me, I got chased by someone's dog! That was fun.

Anyways, my sprint training went a little like this:


5 min jog (4 out of 10 effort)
1 min walk (2/10 effort)
30 sec sprint (8/10 effort)
1 min walk (2/10)
30 sec sprint (10/10 effort)
1 min walk (2/10)
30 sec sprint (10/10)
1 min walk (2/10)
30 sec sprint (10/10)
1 min walk (2/10)
30 sec sprint (10/10)
1 min walk (2/10)

1 min walk (2/10)
30 sec sprint (8/10)
