Try fartlec training (swedish for something like 'speed play' I think) I used to train for trialthons and this is how I got my running up to scratch.
Run a certain distance at a medium speed, and then say for 5 mins (or less if you cant manage this) run like the clappers, really push yourself to maximum intensity, then slow down for say another 10 or fifteen and then run like a nutter again.
Running for long periods of time isnt the best way to improve your CV ability, (unless you want to run long distances that is). Its the quality of the run that is important.
Fartlec training will get you fit fast. |
