What are intervals?
Intervals are brief periods of intense running followed by brief periods of rest. When you run your body produces lactic acid. By briefly resting you get rid of some of that lactic acid but can’t get rid of it all. Your body adapts to the lactic acid over time allowing continued exercise and gains in endurance. Consistent effort over weeks will get you faster times at whatever run you do…
