The Women's Running Podcast Ep 26. Women's Running Workshop. 5. Guided interval run with Auro
Welcome to episode 26 of the Women’s Running podcast. This is our 5th Workshop, and this time we’ve got something a little different for you. In the last four workshops, you may have tuned in to hear Holly and me banging on about our running as we gear up for our virtual half marathon in March. We are still training for that and very much banging on about it – do please listen in to our next workshop at the end of Feb for our next exciting instalment. But in this episode we have a special treat for you – for those of you who have been training with us, and also for those of you who haven’t, we have a guided interval run brought to you by Auro.

If you’re training alongside Holly and me for a half marathon, please use this interval training session once a week alongside your easy and long runs. Remember to also do some strength work two or three times a week, and this is especially important for your core – so I’m afraid you’re going to have to do those planks. On your hands, your elbows, side planks or even mountain climbers – do whichever you hate the least, but do them regularly. You also need to be adding a good ten minutes to your long runs every weekend, too. The theory is that you should be at around the 2 hour mark in about four weeks’ time. Remember you can always use the walk/run method, but be careful how you use it – don’t go full pelt for half of it, then walk the rest of the way round. Run for a set period of time, then walk for a couple of minutes. It’s how all the best ultra runners do it!

Now enjoy this beginner interval session – it lasts just under 30 minutes, just take it at your own pace. You can use this session as many times as you like as you continue your training, just increase your efforts week by week, and you’ll soon see an improvement in your fitness.
