3 Exercises: New Runner Interval Training Guide

3 Exercises To Incorporate in your New Runner Interval Training Guide

Beginners using interval training should run a distance of 400 to 600 metres that last at least two minutes and a maximum of 6 minutes. The distances become longer at 1,000 to 6,000 meters when preparing for a marathon.

For those new to interval running, the following is a great and simple first session to try:

* 5-minute gentle jog

* 1-minute fast interval (at 8-9 PRE)

* 2-minute recovery interval (jogging or brisk walking, 3-4 PRE)

* Repeat x 4-6

* 5-minute gentle cooldown jog

3 EXERCISES TO INCORPORATE to help build LEG POWER.

1. Squat Jumps:

Jump squats increase your explosive power, improve upper and lower body strength, and burn calories faster than regular squats. Explosive power gives you the ability to take off faster and move quicker, which athletes in football, tennis, and track and field strive for.

2. Standing Up Mountain Climbers:

The mountain climber is a popular move because it's truly a total body exercise: It works muscles above and below your waistline

3. Alternating Lunge Jumps (on Stairs):

When done correctly, you will target the glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings, hip flexors, and calves. You will also engage muscles that stabilize the core and hips, those that are used for rotational movements, and even improve ankle stability
