You could run say, a short warm up jog if 800m, a couple of warm up sprints of 200m, and then a few sprints at MAX effort. 60s break after each run. About 2km total. Your legs and lungs will be severely taxed. If they aren’t, you ran too slow.
You can easily take a 5km run and increase the effectiveness: go faster.
Fitness runners always fixate on distance. No speed, power or agility training.
- voisin 5y agoI think there is a difference between running short bouts of Max speed sprinting versus running long periods at a lower effort. It is the difference between zone 2 and zone 4/5 running, taxing different systems (aerobic vs anaerobic). I am not saying there is a need for speed, power, agility training as well, but I think it is achieving different things than long, slower runs.
