Interval running, or applying interval training methods to running, can be a great way to both improve your overall health and fitness and boost your metabolism to accelerate your weight loss efforts. The interval method helps to strengthen your cardiovascular system, and improve your recovery time, as well as burning fat more quickly than steady-pace running.
If you're a runner wanting to improve your results, or someone just getting started with running, check out this short video to learn how and why the interval running method works. And feel free to click the link below the video for two FREE sample audio training workouts.

Getting Started With Running for Fitness
It's finally lovely spring weather outside, so for the next couple of months, we're going to share some great tips and workouts for getting in shape for the summer!
Since the weather is so beautiful and it's not too hot yet, we're starting off by talking about getting started with a running program. Running is a great way to get in shape while enjoying the beautiful outdoors!
Beginning running can be a big step for some people. Not only are you committing to better health and fitness you may be committing to losing weight and finding time in your day for yourself. Once you’ve made the choice to run it’s time to choose a running program.
Types Of Running Programs For Beginners
One of the most common running programs for beginners involves interval training. Yes, the very same interval training sprinters use to increase their speed only your goal isn’t’ really to increase your speed your goal is to increase your time running. Here’s how it works.
Choose a distance or a time goal, for example thirty minutes or three miles. You can even choose one mile, it’s all up to you. Once you’ve chosen a realistic distance or time goal, break it up into manageable intervals.
For example if you’ve chosen thirty minutes, which is the minimum amount of time doctors recommend you spend on cardiovascular exercise each day, then you might decide to walk for four minutes and run for one minute. If you continue this for thirty minutes you will have walked for 24 minutes and run for six minutes. Depending on your running speed, you may run anywhere from half a mile to a mile which is a great start.
Repeat this interval training three days a week, adding one minute to your running time and subtracting one minute from your walking time. The goal being to eventually run the full thirty minutes and from there you can increase your running time or choose to work on how fast you run depending on your goals. (If you want some guidance with this, Treadmill Trainer has some great iPod workouts to get you started.)
Another type of running program for beginners is to run as long as you can initially, assuming you’ve warmed your muscles up by walking for ten minutes, and then to walk the remainder of the time or distance.
For example once you’ve warmed up perhaps you’re able to run for five minutes leaving you twenty five minutes to walk. The next time you head out to run you’ll push it to six, seven or even eight minutes of running while walking the rest. Eventually, assuming you run about three times a week and you make sure to rest and take care not to push your body too hard, you’ll be running for a full thirty minutes.
Once you’ve reached your goal of running for a predetermined distance or time then your next goals will be to either increase your distance or speed. So for example if your first goal was to run for thirty minutes without stopping and you’re able to run two and a half miles during that time your next goal might be to run faster so you can cover three miles in the same time or you may wish to run for forty minutes at the same pace.
Creating a running program for beginners starts with deciding why you’re running and what your initial long term goal is. Once you’ve established that, your next step is to break it up into smaller manageable pieces. If you have a date by which you wish to achieve your goal, for example you want to be running for thirty minutes three times a day before swim suit season in two months, then you’ll be able to create weekly goals too. Start slow, pay attention and take good care of your body, and success is almost guaranteed.

Does Running Burn Fat?
Today we have a special guest article from running coach and fitness expert, Yuri Elkaim:
Have you ever wondered whether running is useful for burning fat? How about whether low intensity, long duration (ie. exercising in your fat burning zone) running (or cardio) is better than higher intensity interval running (ie. your cardio zone)?
Well, we’re about to answer those questions.
Running To Burn Fat
Depending on the duration and intensity of your run, your body will rely on carbohydrates (stored as glycogen in the muscles and liver) and fat for its fuel.
Your body chooses different fuels during different situations. Because fats yield more calories and are slower burning as they are metabolized, they tend to be used over longer durations when compared to carbohydrates.
However, your body’s first priority is to conserve its blood glucose and glycogen stores. As you become fitter your body will become more efficient at using fats for fuel while sparing your vital carbohydrate reserves.
Someone who is totally unfit will obviously fatigue sooner, one of the reasons being that their carbohydrate stores are more quickly dissolved and utilized. Fitter individuals can run for much longer because they have developed the ability to use the slow burning fats as fuel, and therefore conserve their energy better.
As the intensity of exercise increases, there is more reliance on carbohydrates for fuel. Typically, intensities greater than 70% of VO2 max (or maximum heart rate for our purposes) will use carbohydrates as the dominant fuel source.
However, this doesn’t mean that working at high intensities doesn’t burn fat.
This is where most people get confused. Many people believe that, for instance, since running at a lower intensity implies more reliance on fat as fuel, they feel the need to run at this low-intensity to burn fat. Nothing could be further from the truth!
A study in the New England Journal of Medicine demonstrated that, compared with a control group 8 months of either low amount/moderate intensity, low amount/high intensity or high amount/high intensity exercise all led to positive changes in overall lipoprotein (one type of blood fat) profile in overweight subjects. The latter group (high amount/high intensity) also gained the best training, fat loss, and blood lipid effect!
The other part of the fat burning question is that the longer you run (or exercise), the greater the reliance on fat as a fuel. Once again, this feeds the myth that running (or doing cardio) for long periods of time is necessary to burn fat. I call this the “marathoner mentality”.
The first thing that is critical to understand is this:
A calorie is a calorie and 1 pound of fat is equivalent to 3500 calories.
Since burning fat ultimately boils down to creating a negative energy balance (ie. more calories expended than consumed) the goal is choose a method of running training that will elicit the maximum number of calories expended – not just during the activity but afterwards as well!
Working at higher intensities promotes a greater total calorie loss (even after you’re finished exercising) and that’s what really matters if you’re looking to lose weight and burn fat.
As we’ve already described, fat is the major contributor to muscle energy during low-intensity exercise. Therefore, most people intuitively believe that low intensity training must therefore induce an increased muscle fat burning effect (known as lipolytic activity).
The enzyme, HSL (hormone sensitive lipase), is required to catalyze the hydrolysis (breakdown) of stored triglycerides (fats) in skeletal muscle as it does in adipose (fat) tissue. Furthermore, several studies have indicated that HSL is probably the main lipase responsible for triglyceride hydrolysis during exercise.
However, a remarkable study investigating the effects of exercise of extreme duration at low-intensity on body fat profile had subjects complete a 32-day crossing of the Greenland ice cap on cross-country skis. After this incredible crossing, the researchers discovered that HSL activity was NOT influenced by the prolonged low-intensity physical activity in either arm or leg muscle. This is consistent with results from similar investigations.
So, if you have time to run for 2 to 3 hours at a low intensity then be my guest. You will achieve some degree of fat loss but studies have shown that you will need to perform a tremendous amount of exercise to gain the benefits you desire.
Furthermore, several studies have demonstrated that your aerobic endurance will either decline or remain unchanged by exercising at low intensities for long periods of time!
So why not save time, dramatically improve your aerobic fitness, and burn more fat by upping the intensity of your running workouts? The choice is yours!

How to Run On the Treadmill + 3 Treadmill Interval Workouts
Running on the treadmill has some obvious advantages over running outdoors, especially in bone-chilling winter weather.
It's no surprise that many people like running because of its calorie-burning effects. After all, since running is weight bearing and recruits a large amount of muscle, it is the best form of cardiovascular fitness training to burn calories and fat. Besides, when was the last time you saw an overweight runner?
Use Intervals
Whether you are a hardcore runner is of no importance. You can still benefit tremendously from the treadmill workouts you're soon about to discover. As you'll see, these treadmill workouts are based on interval training.
Interval training is a powerful method of maximizing your peak cardiovascular fitness and burning fat because it enables you to run at a higher intensity for a longer period of time since bouts of high intensity are interspersed with bouts of lower intensity. As a result, you get a cardio fitness training effect and boost your metabolism for several hours after your interval workout.
This post-exercise metabolism boost is known as EPOC or "excess post-exercise oxygen consumption" and can be responsible for several hundred calories expended while you are rest for up to several hours after your interval training workout.
What's even cooler about intervals is that they allow you to spend less time exercising while providing more substantial fitness and fat burning improvements compared to long, boring cardio sessions. In just 15-20 minutes of interval training you can accomplish what most exercisers never come close to achieving in an hour of cardio!
So now that we've established the benefits of interval training, let's have a look at some interval treadmill workouts that will save you time and give you huge fat burning and cardiovascular benefits! I know you'll enjoy them and find them both challenging and invigorating compared to traditional long, boring cardio workouts.
Each of these running workouts should begin with a light 5 minute warm-up (ie. jogging). Note as well that these interval training workouts are fairly challenging so give them a shot and see how you do. Try the first one a few times before you move on to the second, and the same with that before moving to the third. A few weeks from now, you'll be fitter, leaner, and have more endurance!
Interval Workout #1:
Work = 2 minutes @ 85%
Recovery = 1 minutes @ 65%
Repeat 4 times for a total of 12 minutes.
Interval Workout #2:
Work = 1 minute @ 95%
Recovery = 1 minute @ 65%
Repeat 10 times for a total of 20 minutes
Interval Workout #3:
Work = 30 seconds @ 100%
Recovery = 90 minute @ 65%
Repeat 10 times for a total of 20 minutes.

Video - Busting the Cardio Myth
Since we shared 3 workouts in Tuesday's post, today's video is more informational. Fitness expert Yuri Elkaim explains the cardio myth, and why interval running for a short period of time is much more effective for weight loss and fat burning than long duration lower intensity exercise. It's also better for your body, and a lot more fun! Instead of exhausting yourself with an hour on the treadmill, try his combination of sprints and jogs for 20 minutes, and feel great and energized - and rev up your fat-burning for up to 36 hours afterwards.
Find out why here, and for more on Yuri's fitness programs, visit TreadmillTrainer.com.

Three Interval Training Workouts for Beginners
Today we have a guest post by one of our favorite fitness experts and coaches - Yuri Elkaim! In this post, he gives you three simple workouts that will help you burn fat quickly and get in shape - and they only take between 20 and 30 minutes to do.
Three Interval Training Workouts for Beginners:
Today, I’d like to give you 3 interval training workouts for beginners. You can choose to do these on the treadmill or outdoors – it really doesn’t matter. These running workouts will help you run longer, get in better shape, and burn more calories - even after you're finished with your workout.
These cardio workouts involve interval training which means that you have a bout of higher intensity (i.e. running) followed by a bout of lower intensity (i.e. walking). Depending on the duration of the workout, this sequence will be repeated a number of times, which allows you to spend more time at faster speeds because we space them out with "recovery" intervals.
So let's get to it.
Beginner Interval Running Workout #1:
1 minute jogging @ 75% max speed : 4 minutes walking x 5 = 25 minutes
In this workout, you will jog at 75% of your maximum running speed for 1 minute and then reduce the speed to a decent pace walk for 4 minutes. This is then 5 times for a total of 25 minutes. This interval program means that you'll be spending a total of 5 minutes running and 20 minutes walking.
Beginner Interval Running Workout #2:
2 minutes jogging @ 75% max speed : 4 minutes walking x 5 = 30 minutes
Notice how this workout is almost identical to the first one, except for one little difference? In this treadmill workout, you'll be jogging twice as long while recovering for the same amount of time (4 minutes) you did in the first workout. The fact that your work to rest ratio is now 1:2 instead of 1:4 makes this workout more challenging because you are spending more of this workout at a higher speed. This workout allows you to run for 10 minutes and walk for 20 minutes.
Beginner Interval Running Workout #3:
2 minutes jogging @ 75% max speed : 2 minutes walking x 5 = 20 minutes
This treadmill running workout is more challenging because you now have the same amount of work as you do recovery (i.e. a 1:1 ratio). You won't have as much time to recover between work bouts and therefore we have reduced the overall time of this workout to 20 minutes, during which you'll have 10 minutes of running and 10 minutes of walking.
These are just a few running workouts for beginners out of thousands of possible interval running plans. Start with these and you’ll notice a significant improvement in your ability to run - and in the progress you make towards your fitness and weight loss goals.
