Run/Walk Exercise Style - Intervals

[barry1010]

What is now called interval training - run for so long, walk for so long, repeat and repeat and repeat used to be called something else but I can't think what.
Anyone know?

Do you mean fartlek?
Strictly speaking it's not quite the same thing, but it's all I can think of

[mallyh]

the galloway?

[barry1010]

No and no.

[mallyh]

wogging?

I have never heard of another term for interval training, and I used to do it for years. It was called interval training back in the dark ages when it did me any good :-)

Repetitions (reps) I guess was the other word we used.

I've never heard of fartlek or galloway - have googled and they do seem to be same or similar but not the term I am thinking of

We used to call it scouts pace

[barry1010]

Not heard of wogging, either. I'm learning some new terms so all good

[barry1010]

That's it, roo! Scout's pace.
Thank you, have a Twix :D

Fartlek is just running fast for a bit and then slow, then speeding up again. Intervals are more structured.
I'd never heard of "galloway" which seems to be a recentish term named after its "inventor"

[ichkeria]

Scout's pace isn't interval training tho:
it's covering a distance by a mix of running and walking
