I'd rather have a very rigorous and intensive workout/run and be done with it faster, and it seems to bring the best results for me. But then again, people say you should work out in the morning, but I cam't 'cause it makes me sleepy, so I always do quite late at night.Julia, the Thanksgiving Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03542064466882299908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3692643313132544540.post-45419081203495209122011-04-21T05:18:13.466-07:002011-04-21T05:18:13.466-07:00After I got injured this fall, I started running i...After I got injured this fall, I started running intervals! First I did four minutes running, 1 minute walking, which is what I did for my half in January. For the marathon I just rain, I ended up doing about 1 minute of walking in every mile that I ran. I find that it's definitely great for the first half but after that my body just doesn't really want to keep switching between running and walking.<br /><br />Good luck with your 10 miler!Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17133232352924060797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3692643313132544540.post-21297217674684956492011-04-19T15:46:29.572-07:002011-04-19T15:46:29.572-07:00I think intervals are so great and I especially lo...I think intervals are so great and I especially love to read and hear stories about runners who use them for marathons- it really helps me not feel too much like a wuss.:-) good luck on the ten miler next weekend!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3692643313132544540.post-7119358077331706712011-04-19T04:58:21.072-07:002011-04-19T04:58:21.072-07:00For me, it depends on the distance and how I feel....For me, it depends on the distance and how I feel. Anything 6 miles or over, I use intervals. I just think it's a smart idea. Even on and "off" day I'll use intervals for shorter distances too. Intervals helps keep running enjoyable for me, and in the end that is what's important. So, I would say, if you like the intervals keep using them. It's YOUR run, after all!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
