Running

Continuous running

Continuous running, is a type of running in which  you have to run usually long distances in a continuous speed.

That sport required a long previous  training. I mean, you can’t obtain good marks in that type of running if you train only the week before run.

There is not an specific sport called “continuous running” but, for example; a marathon, cooper test or a 2000m race are “tests” where you have to run with continuous method.

*** PEOPLE :

• On 2013, Wilson Kipsang made the fastest marathon ever, he runned 42 mk in 2 h. 03 min. and 23 sec.
• On 2012, David Rudisha made the fastest 800m race ever, he runned 800m in 1 min and 40,91 sec.

In that 2 examples, both run very fast but it’s continuous running because they’re (more or less) running all the time at the same speed

1500m race on the olympic games 2012 (watch the video)

Interval running

It’s a type of running, where you can run long and short distances changing the speed.

Like in continuous running, you must have a previous training, because that “sport” as a very high intensity.

It’s not considered a specific sport too. But it’s great to loss weight !!

You can practise it doing a circuit or doing series.

interval running - sprint workout (watch the video)

Here on the video, you can observe more or less what interval running is. At first, the man runs in a spring, then, he walks back (there, you can walk back or also run back but with a slower intensity and speed). Once he has returned, he spring again and comes back slowe another time. he repites the process much times.
