5 running sessions you need to try

We Heart Living – Sprint sessions

Sprint sessions

There’s no hiding it: sprint sessions are hard, but they’re a great way to improve your running. Sprinting increases your heart rate and when done regularly improves your anaerobic threshold, meaning you can work out more efficiently. It also helps build muscle and increases your cardiovascular fitness, which helps you take on more oxygen as you work out. Whatever type of runner you are – a beginner or an experienced marathoner – sprint training can help you be a better runner. Whether you sprint between lamp posts or hit the track with a running club, this is one workout you can’t afford to skip.
