I am in complete agreement with Jen that my interval training is making me a stronger, faster runner. I would also agree that doing an interval within 48 hours of your long run would be inadvisable. The whole idea of an inveral is to "kick your butt" and quite frankly, if I do the interval as prescribed, I find it is easier to run a 10 mile run then the interval. Here is my next interval workout - try it if you have a treadmill you can run on as I'm sure it's going to be a doozey!
Run 3 miles total - 1/4 mile EZ at a 2.0 incline then 1/4 mile Fast with no incline - Repeat until you reach 3 miles.
Interval workouts may help you find "Jo" once you realize you only need to workout 30 minutes and you will see a immediate results on your next long run (as long as you wait at least 48 hours).
I know this is a half marathon training blog but hey - How about those USA Pro Cycling boys???? I really can't post a comment without mentioning how excited I am about the race and every single little thing involved with it!!!!
