Interval training comprises periods of high-intensity training with periods of low-intensity training. This type of training commonly involves interspersing some bouts of slower runnings with fast runnings. The recovery phase is very important because this phase will increase your body’s ability to run quickly. This is because your body will learn to recover quickly between bursts. Interval training will lower you risk of heart disease, stroke, type 2 diabetes and some cancers. In fact, you will get the same benefits that a moderate- intensity, longer-duration aerobic exercise will give you.
