Jogged to the park, did 10x200m intervals (#EIM). And today felt so easy, with a much lower heart rate than usual.

There are days like that. #running.

@frescosecco Have you been doing #EIM for long? I'm very interested in giving it a try for a half marathon, but the focus seems to be on shorter distances.

If you have time, I'd be interested in hearing about your experience with it.

@MarvinFreeman I'm a new runner (about 6 months in), and I have done #EIM from the beginning. I still often do smaller sessions, not the full standard sessions, or I mix things up a bit. (like 3x1km + 5x200m). The method is actually quite flexible and adapts to the number of days per week you want to run. The book has example training plans from 800m to a marathon. It has a 13-week half-marathon training plan in variants from 3 to 8 training sessions per week.

@MarvinFreeman I use a basic 10k plan, but without the races or hard sessions on the weekend for now. I enjoy it tremendously, developing fitness and incremental speed simultaneously. #EIM
