If you tend to get increasingly tired throughout long rallies OR games, give this 30 min treadmill session a shot ➡️
DETAILS & TIPS:
- Warmup for 5 mins. Be sure to increase the pace gradually so you are moving at a decent rate and sweating by the end.
- Try to keep the pace the same for all intervals. The only exception is you could increase the speed for the 30s sprint.
- All intervals should be done at an RPE (rate of perceived exertion) of 8 -9. Any higher and you’ll require more than 30s rest in between. Any lower and you aren’t working hard enough to get the most out of it. I ran between 10-10.5 mph, which was about an 8/10 RPE for me.
- For rest intervals of 30s or less, I like to “jump off” the tread instead of decreasing the speed (which takes a long time). Practice this before doing it in a tiring session!
Personally I like fitting these sessions in in the morning before a busy day, or in addition to squash when I’m looking to increase my work capacity.
PS. You guy...
