Cardio personal training

When you first start out with a personal trainer, cardio training will likely be included in your plan. Do be sure, however, that your personal trainer does not spend too much of your session simply watching you perform your cardio because this is time that could be better spent elsewhere. Ask for your trainer to give you a cardio program that you can perform on your own time so you can use your session to work on weight lifting and conditioning exercises.

Interval training
 
Mixing continuous and interval training will sharpen your fitness quicker than just sticking to steady cardio, and is also an established way to lose weight.

Endurance training
 
The principle goal of endurance training is to allow the athlete to meet the demands of the event - thus training for a 5K is vastly different to training for a marathon.

Hill training
 
Almost all runners include hill running as a part of their training program - it builds strength, stamina, and mental toughness.

Reaction speed drills
 
Including speed training in your program will dramatically improve your fitness - in as little as five weeks you will start to see significant improvements.

Running economy
 
Running economy is a simple matter - to go faster you must increase either your stride length (how much ground you cover), or the speed of your stride.
