Welcome to the Methods of the Training section
In this section we will be discussing the various training methods available for the athlete to reach their full potential.
The first method we discussed was Interval Training, where we provided data to assist you in understanding the purpose of such sessions.
This first article covered Interval Training Defined as well as The Physiology of Intermittent Exercise which will then lead to the Interpretation. The article is fairly lengthy, and provides a scientific prospective in 'layman' terms.
Now we move towards Fartlek, what the word means and what the training entails.
