“Speed It Up” Treadmill Interval Run

Here’s a fun treadmill workout for you all to try this week:

The workout consists of 3 minute intervals at a recovery speed, followed by 1 minute intervals at quicker/sprint speeds. Both the recovery and sprinting intervals increase as you go through the workout, leaving you with a super speedy one minute sprint at the end.

Push yourself! You’re capable of more than you think!

I haven't tried interval runs yet (mostly because I can't run for 30 minutes straight yet, but I'm getting there!). I'm hoping to reach my 30 minute goal in the next week or two and then I can start incorporating some of these intervals. Thanks for posting this!

Love this work out! Quick sprints are such a great way to work on Spode and to take work outs up a notch. If you use the same speeds and times as you recommended, do you know the distance that would be completed by the end?

I love intervals, but I don't think I've ever gone quite that fast before (the 9.0 speed!)! Thanks for sharing! ;)

Sometimes there is nothing better than a really tough workout that makes you sweat! I have learned some great advices on how to get prepared to the hardest trainings from this blog: militarygradenutritionals.com/blog/. Beside other things, they provide awesome info about DOMS relief. Now I can easily go through 2 or even 3 consecutive training classes in the gym. Because of increased endurance I never more feel exhausted after my workouts. And the best part: my pounds go off easily and my shape is better than ever before!
