Benefits of Including Intervals and Hill Strides in Training
Including intervals in training sessions at a slightly higher intensity can improve biomechanical output, help runners learn to run faster on tired legs, provide aerobic gains, enhance fatigue resistance, and durability. Combining intervals with steady-state running mimics effective cycling training strategies and can benefit runners. Hill strides are preferred over flat strides as they offer more power output and speed, making them more efficient and lower risk for injury compared to flat strides.
