Interval training plus video and pictures

Interval training is important for the body to get used to training at a high intensity which is beneficial for cardiorespiratory fitness as well as anaerobic and aerobic energy systems. Interval training can be an effective means of enhancing an athlete's lactate threshold. Lactate threshold has been shown to be a significant factor determining performance for long distance running events. It is also important for loosing unwanted weight or fat and stimulates the metabolism.

Sprints on a steep incline and boxing were the chosen activities for interval training. Two circuits at St Clair beach were also performed.
