Long Definition
Mile repeats are a type of interval training where runners complete multiple one-mile segments at a fast pace with rest periods in between. This workout improves aerobic capacity, speed, and endurance. For example, a runner might do 4 x 1 mile at a pace slightly faster than their 5K race pace, with 3-5 minutes of rest between each mile. Mile repeats help runners develop the ability to sustain a faster pace over longer distances, making them crucial for those training for races like 5Ks, 10Ks, or half-marathons.
Kaizen Insights
