Welcome to New Interval Training
Break through your personal speed barriers using the New Interval Training method, which is a truly appropriate method for runners of all ages. It is as appropriate for recreational runners who want to improve and develop their fitness as it is for Olympians and for professional athletes. This website will take you through the background of how, over the past 35 years, Peter Thompson developed 'Lactate Dynamics Training' (1994) and the 'New Interval Training' (1995). More than that, it will show you how to create New Interval Training sessions for yourself. And, for those who are interested, it links the scientific basis to why this method is so effective and ground-breaking.
Run faster for longer at all distances as your running economy and other critical performance factors all improve- Understand why the clear distinction between 'Interval training' and 'Repetition training' is so vitally important and why it's called the New Interval Training
- Training effects occur specifically during the active roll-on recovery intervals between the faster runs
- During the active roll-on recovery intervals the body's metabolism is trained to develop more energy, more quickly
- Active roll-on recovery intervals train the body to both utilise and clear lactate so your body will become more efficient and powerful at using lactate as a fuel for energy production
- Understand why some existing training methods have been effective in the past and learn how to make these more effective.
For all Runners and all Athletes
Although this website focuses on the application of 'Lactate Dynamics Training' and the 'New Interval Training' methods to running environments and training, the principles are appropriate and applicable to most activities and sports.
