Day 049 - Interval training

20 minute walk or jog at level 1 intensity, 8 minutes of intervals at level 3 intensity, 20 minutes back at level 1 intensity.        Training via ActiveMail

TODAY, DO A WALK OR RUN INTERVAL TRAINING SESSION FOR 8 MINUTES AT LEVEL 3 INTENSITY. Running intervals are periods of high-intensity exercise followed by rest periods. Running intervals can be done on flat or rolling terrain, a track, or treadmill. The key to these sessions is not to start too hard. You should be able to maintain the same pace and/or intensity throughout the interval session. For this workout warm up for 20 minutes at a level 1 intensity. Speed walk or run for 2 minutes at level 3 intensity, recover by jogging or walking for 2 minutes, repeat 2 times. Cool-down for 20 minutes by jogging easily and walking at a level 1 intensity.
