are the best way to improve your 1.5 mile time.Run a track session or time intervals e.g.6 x 400m (1 minute) with 1 minute recoveries betweenor10 x 200m (30 secs) with 1 minute recoveries betweenorPyramid session i.e. 1 x 100m, 1x 200m, 1x 400m 1, 200m, 1x 100m

seconds, you could try to start each repetition every 60 seconds.If you want a less taxing session that generates more speed, have a 200m recovery spread over two minutes and aim to run significantly faster than mile speed. Because a runner’s speed over

minutes) then up to 170 (10 km/h for ten minutes) (on a treadmill).   After a 20 minute run (trust me, 20 minutes is long run for me!) and a ten minute rest, my heartbeat is now back done to 80.   Is all this reasonably normal, especially the 170 bpm

I do interval training to improve my 5k time. It consists of a 1k lap where i do 200m sprint, 200m run,200m sprint then 400 run, and so on for 30 minutes. Each lap taked about 4,30 so i do approx 6 laps.The first couple of laps are okay, the last

at somehting like 400m reps on a track at flat out pace with short recoveries.  I agree, start with 200m full speed, keep running slow till recovery and do again. Try this twice a week and keep adding the number of 200m's till you are doing 8-10. Then start

 for, say, 5 minutes, followed by 5 minutes of recovery with a very slow jog and continuing that cycle?And is it best to alternate sessions between interval training and knocking out 10k training runs at a constant pace?Any advice would be gratefully

My HRM gave me a heart rate of 230 (it stayed above 200 for about 30seconds)on my run this morning. My Max HR should be about 195 and I have a resting HR of 50.Any ideas why it should go so high? False reading ? Power lines ? Static ? Winding you

minutes, aim to rate at 24 strokes per minute max and you should be rowing a distance of 5,200 metres in due course.45 minutes, again, aim to rate at 22 / 24 per minute and you should top 10,250 or so.1 hour. Steady state. sit on 20 strokes per minute

I'm sure this has been asked before, but anyone following the threads on "200 minutes" on the training forum will realise why I haven't got time to look!Can anyone recommend a good running book with a lot of humour? I have the Looniness of the Long
