Runner Training 🏃

Let’s talk about effective training for us runners. The basics are mixing running with walking and doing High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT).

With HIIT, you alternate between short bursts of crazy intense anaerobic running at like 80–95% of your max heart rate, and then periods of walking or light jogging to recover.

I know, I know — regular running can get so tiring and boring after a while. But with HIIT, instead of just plopping down on a bench, you keep moving with a walk to rest those legs even though it still feels challenging.

Just when you’re catching your breath, bam! The hellish high-intensity running kicks back in. And then the cycle repeats itself. Every single time that brutal transition hits, part of me loves it but part of me wants to cry! 😭

But hey, pushing through that roller coaster of intensity is what really gets the fitness gains, am I right? HIIT may be a cruel mistress, but she delivers results!
