I am currently resuming running training; initially I ran for lunch but due to my work (and my desire) I prefer to do it in the morning.
This reduces my training from 1 hour to 40 minutes approximately.
I would like to know if by training myself identically (same exercise and same pace of race) that will make me progress identically, a little less quickly or much less quickly.
For information, my training consists of 4 stages:
- "normal" race at a good pace for me haha (~10km/h)
- split (30s at full speed and 30s at slow pace)
- and I start again one more time
The question may be a little vague, sorry if it does. I would like to achieve my goals (1: cardio & 2: speed) without wasting too much time =)
Edit for clarification
Initially i run :
- ~20min at 10km/h
- split (30s/30s)*6
- the rest of the time at 8/9km/h In general this trainning takes me 1h (example : 21jan. i run 9.61km in 01h09, the trainning start @12h00)
Now i run :
- ~10/15min at 10km/h
- split (30s/30s)*6
- the rest of the time at 9/10km/h (i check my speed via my watch btw) This "morning" trainning takes me ~30/40min (example : 2feb. i run 5.03km in 00h33, the training start @06h00am)
For information when I run in the morning I run on dirt roads, and at night with a petzel; the route is relatively flat despite the holes in the dirt and mud.
During the midday training I could run in a park where there are dirt and tarmac paths as well as climbs which was quite interesting for the training.
I hope I have given you enough information thank you for your time.
