How to Build Elite Conditioning with Intervals

Tired of slogging through slow runs that don’t seem to do anything?
Or burning out with every conditioning session?
Intervals = smarter, faster way to build real engine power.

Why Intervals Work

• Improve both aerobic and anaerobic capacity

• Torch calories without wrecking muscle

• Teach your body to recover faster between high-intensity bouts

How to Program Intervals

✅ Work:Rest Ratio Matters

• Short, intense intervals = 1:2 - 1:5 ratio (e.g., 30s sprint, 1:00–2:30s rest)

• Longer intervals = 1:1 ratio (e.g., 3-min hard effort, 3-min easy pace)

✅ Mode Doesn’t Matter (Effort Does)

• Bike, rower, treadmill, sled pushes, sprints — all can work

• Choose low-impact if you're beat up (like biking or rowing)

✅ Stay Consistent

• 2x/week is enough for massive change if intensity is right

Example Interval Sessions:

• Beginners:
  30s fast + 90s walk × 8 rounds

• Advanced:
  1 min fast + 1 min slow × 10 rounds

Common Mistakes:

🚫 Treating "hard" intervals as "all out" every time (you’ll fry your body this way)
🚫 Skipping the easy recovery pace (you’re missing half the training effect)
