Whether you are a hardcore runner or looking a newbie looking for a beginner running program is of no importance. You can still benefit tremendously from interval workouts.
Interval training is a powerful method of maximizing your peak cardiovascular fitness and burning fat because it enables you to run at a higher intensity for a longer period of time since bouts of high intensity are interspersed with bouts of lower intensity. The result, you get a cardio fitness training effect and boost your metabolism for several hours after your interval workout.
This post-exercise metabolism boost is known as EPOC or “excess post-exercise oxygen consumption” and can be responsible for several hundred calories expended while you are rest for up to several hours after your interval training workout.
