Why should I use sports nutrition with Caffeine?
Threshold or tempo intervals: 20-70 min
Intervals of 3-15 min duration at an intensity around half-marathon pace or slightly faster.
Typical sessions could be:
6-10 x 1000m with 1 min recovery,
4-8 x 2000m with 1-2 min recovery,
3-5 x 5000m with 1000m easy jog in between.
A runner can accumulate more total time compared to a continuous threshold run.
