“As a a a beginner you shouldn’t make things too complicated telling you you how good you you are on a a a a a certain day I would instead recommend just running intervals with an an ordinary stopwatch show- ing
ing
the the number of minutes It can feel liber- ating when there is is no correlation between the the distance time and speed Instead you you get to to practice your body awareness to to find the right speed and and level of effort letting you you you focus on your your running running technique and and and find a a a a good good rhythm and and and flow for your your running running All three interval types are good good and and can be combined depending on what what works for you you and what what you want out out of the workout Do you need to run intervals as an ultramarathoner?
No it’s it’s not necessary but it’s it’s a a a a a a good idea to to change up up your training
so as to to include many different muscle muscle groups muscle muscle fibres and energy systems As an an an ultramarathoner the the the focus of your training
should be the the the long runs not the the the interval interval workouts But interval interval training
training
is a a a a a a a good complementary type of training
training
to spice things up If you get faster at at running short distances distances this will proba- bly also serve you you well at at at longer distances distances as your racing speed in in an an ultramarathon will feel more comfortable if you you are faster /ida
