Should i do more intervals or focus on lowering my times?

I just started doing intervals in few months ago. and I'm now up to where I can do 6 x 1/2 mi. and keep them all with in a few seconds of each other. Should I now look to add on more intervals maybe going up to 8 x 1/2 mi. or should I focus on bringing the time down and stick with just 6 intervals?...

I ust got a...

When do you get stronger?

Do you have an important race coming up soon? What is the best way to ready for your best effort? Is it more hard workouts? Is it best to get in a few more tough training sessions?

Learning to Shift Gears

How many times have we found ourselves unable to finish a race as well as we would have liked? Sometimes your legs just can't get it done in those last 100-200m. So how do you fix that? Traditional methods would be to do more speed work such as 100-150m fast strides or 200m repeats. While these...

5k day after 8 mile training run?

Apparently there is a 5K Race here in Coshocton this Sunday. (There's been no advertisements for this what so ever.)

High Heart Rate while running? Something to be worried about

Answered by a doctor

Hi Runners, I recently purchased a heart rate monitor. I am 37 years old, and started tracking my workouts. I do a lot of interval training and noticed that my heart rate ramps up very quickly.

how long pauses between runs should be?

Can you tell me how long pauses between runs should be? Fore example, I usually run for 15 minutes at a time and I have to make a pause in order to pull myself together, because I must admit that running is a pretty exhausting activity. So, how long can I pause before the next running period? Bear...

How does your running improve?

Answered by a doctor

how do they happen for you? Is it a long gradual process over a period of time? Is it rapid for a while then it levels off? Or do they happen in "steps"- you improve for a while and then plateau for some time before moving up a step ? When/how often do you get break-through races or workouts? I...
