2. The genesis of the interval

Diaulos was played over two stadiums (384.54 m in total) and was characterized by the fact that athletes took the starting position after one lap (192.27 m) and ran in the opposite direction. It cannot be ruled out that the athletes who wanted to win this competition trained by the repeating method. The 100 m format also appeared in the first modern games. None of the coaches named this interval, but it is quite possible that the sprinter as a sprinter used this method.

3. It's the sprinters who have the most intervals

While there has been a long-running debate about the effectiveness of certain methods, sprinting has long held the belief that success can only be achieved at intervals. It cannot be missed in any of the preparation cycles, because intervals guarantee high intensity.

4. LSD or IT? Which method is more effective in long-distance training

Colm OConnell, the founder of the Kenyan school of long distance running, both forms of LSD (long slow distance) and IT (interval training), considers it important in the process of preparing for the season. Only then is a demanding interval training introduced. However, the philosophy of the athletes there is simple.

5. Long or short-term intervals?

Kimberley Smith, former world record holder in the 5000 m, trained using long intervals ranging from 800 m in height. Similarly, hundreds of thousands of athletes are trained in it. Interval training can consist of short intervals of 100 400 m in length, as well as long ones of 1500 5000 m. Both groups of course do not train solely in the interval method, which allows them to run long with LSD, but the essence of the training lies in the longest intervals used from the kink in the 50 m.

6. From Igloi to Salazar

In his training concept, there was only the interval method, it was impossible to criticize it, since he created a dozen world record-keepers who set 49 world records. And it is worth citing the famous Alberto Salazar here. This Cuban coach is the author of the successes of athletes such as mo farah or galen rupp, or light athletes who at one time dominated the 5,000 to 10,000 m run. In his methods Salazar drew inspiration from the actions of sprinters, including W. W. Borzov, the greatest medalist in the 100 m race.
