ENDURANCE TIP
Shock Intervals
With experience, we learn to ration our energy throughout a
workout. That’s a good skill to have, but it can become selflimiting
if you never break out of that shell. Once every few
months, try a workout that involves pushing into deep pain
early in the workout–and then regrouping and running more
intervals.
Suffer it: Run 8 to 10 × 600 meters with 90 seconds recovery,
aiming for 5K pace. The catch: Run the fourth repeat as hard
as you can. Pretend it’s the end of the workout (this is not
easy–you really have to focus on the self-deception). Then
resume as if nothing had happened–no extra rest, no missed
repeats. Don’t worry too much about the pace, which will
slow significantly; the point is to practice continuing to push
when you’re hurting.

Fat loss tip
GO HEAVY
Yes ladies, this is for all of you as well! Keep
training heavy. Heavy resistance training burns a
significant amount of calories post-workout due
to the amount of stress caused on the muscles.
It can also help you to build more muscle and the
more muscle you have, the more calories you will
be able to burn at the end
of the day.
