Interval BAseline

Intervals are the best way to improve your endurance or your work capacity; the ability to get stuff done without getting worn out.

Cardio is traditionally touted as boring, and sure, endurance by definition is:

the fact or power of enduring an unpleasant or difficult process or situation without giving way. There’s no way getting past the grueling nature of it, but that doesn’t make it any less important.

Intervals can be tricky, getting the right stimulus and right training effect comes down to holding the right intensities, or the appropriate pace.

It’s hard to know your paces without a baseline test. Something we’ve implemented recently, is exactly that, a simple baseline test.

This test, allows us to gather some data to inform our efforts in the coming weeks. This knowledge lessens the edge of conditioning work by giving it purpose. Something to focus on, something specific to improve on, and the numbers show you that you’re getting better.

If you’re hammering your intervals but feeling lost on where you’re headed, let us know and we’ll give you a baseline test and get all your paces dialed in to get the most from your training.
