In short IT; There are two walk outs:
a) | Pace endurance work out. | |
b) | Speed endurance work out. | |
in | a) | pace, distance, interval are kept constant. Only the NO of repetitions are increased. |
in | b) | distance, interval and the NO of repetitions are fixed and pace varied as training advances. |
b. | Rest until recovery is partially completed (active rest). | |
c. | Repeat the distance. |
The Interval Training permits the athlete to achieve the greatest possible work load with the least amount of fatigue. This training is made up of five basic variables.
- The duration of the work interval.
- The intensity of activity during the work interval.
- The duration of the recovery interval.
- The intensity of activity during the recovery interval.
- The number of times the work intervals are repeated.
