Every month we will be bringing you a workout you can try at home. They are all from running coaches who know their stuff and this first one is from Matt Fitzgerald, the coach who wrote the book on 80-20 running and whose training plans and workouts you can download on TrainingPeaks - www.trainingpeaks.com/

Join Anna as she heads out to do a lactate intervals session. She will be talking you through when you should do this session, what it is looking to improve and showing you what it is like to do the session.

  • Easiest way to improve your vo2 max score is to lose excess weight as it’s a per kg metric. Went from 80kg to 76kg and vo2 went from 56 to 60. Also means you’re not having to shift the weight with each step.

    Running in such a lovely place would be enough to keep me motivated. The scenery is amazing!
  • @Chumly1969
    I've been using the 80/20 principle and book for my training the last year and a half and I love it. Makes running fun again.
  • @logginsirl
    Great workout Anna, love to see you pushing it 💪👏👏
  • @iggalan
    Remember to do this workout on a day when you are fully rested and not tired from running the previous day or it won’t be as effective because you heart rate will not increase as much. I’d do this kind of interval training no more than once a week; when I’m nearing the top mileage of my training plan I may do two sessions per week and start reducing mileage ahead of the tapering period. Also I do this kind of training on the track, it’s much easier to run at a fast pace consistently.

    i love intervals. also always amazed how much of a diff it makes running with a tailwind vs having it head-on
  • @Tawttitude
    I did this session today and it felt amazing! I felt like my legs opened up with speed after a long long time! Thank you so much for all the knowledge and info. You guys are the best! ❤
  • @anikbinashraf
    After a long travel, I felt a lack of motivation to start running again. This video gave me the boost.. Thanks @Running Channel

    Amazing timing. Ive been looking for a new interval session programme to try to bring a change to my current ones.
  • @UTubeSL
    A great session. Can't believe I actually know where this is - and another that Andy did in a park further down south!!
