A new half marathon workout that burns fat and builds endurance and speed.
By admin | May 17, 2009
I have been using a long run workout the last two weeks that I feel is helping me burn more calories on my run, thus losing weight quicker. It is also increasing my endurance and speed at the same time.
I do this workout twice a week. I start out at around a 6 MPH pace on the treadmill and increase the speed by .1 MPH every 15seconds until I reach 10 MPH. Then I drop the speed back down to 6 MPH and start the process over again until I reach the 30 minute mark. Once 30 minutes is reached, I just run the next 30 minutes based on how I feel, but keep it at a comfortable pace.
I have lost 5 lbs over the last two weeks after placing this workout into my program and my endurance and speed have increased as well.
I typically do a 30 minute medium paced run the next day or take the day off, but no matter what, if I do a workout the day after the long run, I take the day off.
Hopefully it these fat burning running workouts on the treadmill continue to work.
