This is what a control group is for. If not the interval training group will not have any group for comparison.<br /><br />The distance the runners were tested for was 5 km. <br /><br />If the runners improved their 5 km timing, they would then be able to hold their pace better for 10 km. If they run a better 10km, then that means they can run a faster half marathon with sufficient training. With a better timing for the half marathon and proper long runs you can definitely improve your marathon timing.Gino Nghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08822889264049507077noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2468644079235991563.post-87446636378927610182012-12-01T01:42:26.971+08:002012-12-01T01:42:26.971+08:00Hi, I will be interested what did the control grou...Hi, I will be interested what did the control group runners do. If basically they just did easy running and comparing that to a group of runners who implement some sprints, then it is clear why one group did better than the other one. Moreover, this training probably has a more significant impact in short or middle distance events and do not apply to long distance events. Nien Xianghttp://nxrunning.com/noreply@blogger.com
