I've been running 5 to 10 miles a day recently. But I'll keep this workout in mind. And try it out for the next week to come.

I agree with everything except for shortening your stride. I run 10 miles a week, regularly. I have tried to run with shorter strides but always have a problem with shin splints after two sprints. I also timed myself with a 100 meter sprint using short strides and was .5 second longer than my normal long stride.

Thank you very much for this article as it was very helpful. I have recently started running and noticed that my retrocalcaneal bursa is sore and swollen. I think i have been leading and landing with my heel which i will pay more attention to.

You're not supposed to shorten your stride, you're supposed to increase your turnover. There's a difference. If you shorten your stride that might happen, but that's not the goal. By suggesting to shorten the stride, that might cause people to further mess up their stride.

This is the worst play list everywhere. If i was a boy does not even have an upbeat tempo, its the perfect song to fall asleep to though.

Mid-foot strike is great but someone who is a natural hell striker can hurt themselves pretty bad if they are not taught how to ease into a mid-foot strike. And most dreadmill "runners" should never consider going anywhere close to 10 up hill if they are only looking to go one mile. You can't just pack your workout into 15 minutes and expect to shed pounds left and right- it takes time!

I run fast from the start everytime. I warm up 5 minutes and then run 80% all out everytime. This is what the Kenyans do. I only run 35 to 50 miles a week and have run 3 hours in several marathons at age 47 to 52 years of age. I have never been hurt and hope to stay that way. If you want a good time in your races, you have to train hard. And I only run 3 times a week. I do a long run of 18 miles every 3 weeks at a very fast pace. A month before the marathon, I stop the long runs and just do shorter runs at very fast pace. Kenyans never run 100 mile weeks. They run around 65 tops per week.

I think your running program with 1/4 mile spurts is good for someone training for distance running. But for burning maximum calories and shedding body fat I'd recommend a slightly different setup: 1-2 minutes warming up stretching at comfortable speed 1 minute at more difficult speed 1 minute cool off then begin a series of HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training) 30 seconds on a very dificult level 30 seconds at a moderate level 30 secons on very difficult level 30 secons on a moderate level this can be adjusted to the individual of course, such as maybe 30 seconds on 'high' and 45 seconds on 'moderate', butI have found that the end result is more productive.

"Fitter," can be used as a noun--as in someone who assits a person to fit in their clothing i.e. think seamstress. "Fitter," as an adjective is incorrect.

This is a great article because many people don't understand the effectiveness of jogging with intensity.
