The rule of thumb is to do no more than two interval sessions per week, though some programs, such as Phil Campbells' Sprint 8, are routinely performing intervals three times per week. The other ingredient is to add some explosive resistance work. This is new for most people, so either read up on the subject or consult a coach before starting this - it will make you sore if you are not used to it! As the research shows, you can make rapid progress in as little as five weeks, so this is particularly effective when you have logged your steady endurance miles and are looking to add some speed. |
