Too many runners run easy for every single run – it’s the same pace every day. Not only aren’t you getting as fit as you possibly could, but you’re not burning as many calories. To increase not only the number of calories you burn while running but also the “afterburn” (calories burned after your workout).
One way to increase the intensity of your workouts is by running faster. Try a straight-forward fartlek workout of 6 x 1 minute at your 5k race pace with a 2 minute jog recovery in between each effort.
Running isn’t the only way to increase the intensity of your exercise program, though it is the one most of us enjoy. Lifting heavy weights can give you the intensity you need to jumpstart your metabolism.
