HIIT to improve mile time?
I've been reading up on HIIT (high intensity interval training). I was wondering if this is a good way to lower my mile time? Should I combine it with hill work? Any advice would be great.
I currently run a 9:30 mile. I'm doing a metric marathon in mid-December. I'm not worried about endurance; I could run it right now if I had to. I was wondering if getting my mile time down to 9:00 by then is doable and if HIIT will help?

From my experience interval training is a really good way to go. When i raced in highschool i did a lot of 200m, 400m, 500m and 1000m intervals. You should definitely do hill work too. Hill intervals are the absolute best way you can train your legs for endurance. My track coach did nothing but hills and intervals on the track and was running a 1:49 800m and 4:15 mile

Don't gauge your self via distance run until you are into doing marathons - gauge your self via how lengthy you'll be able to run earlier than you must quit, and the way you growth in phrases of stamina over the years.

It stresses the muscle mass and frame extra, however in a more secure manner that makes it possible for you to tailor the application on your exact ability degree. Also, it suggests simply how speedily and what sort of you growth. If you run faithfully, you can begin noticing that you'll be able to do sprints for longer (perhaps you began out at a 30 moment complete velocity dash and now you'll be able to opt for a minute earlier than slowing), your breath shall be steadier (eg. now not as careworn while you are jogging), and you can be competent to jog as a substitute of stroll at the gradual durations. About weights - be definite to stretch quite often or you are going to lose your variety of movement. Truthfully, you must already be stretching earlier than you raise to avert harm. Shakes are well in the event you should not have time to consume, however utilizing them quite often isn't well for you. There's no subsitute for the truly factor - it is like pronouncing utilizing a treadmill on mild incline is the equal as jogging up a hill external - the variations there are drastic to any individual who is performed it. You have got to stability your nutrition if you are seeking to placed on bulk - that implies the proper quantity of carbs, proteins, fat, energy, and sugars, leafy veggies, and veggies. Otherwise, you can plateu and would possibly not growth any additional.
