* '''[[Starting to run|Beginners Run/Walk]].''' Using a run/walk pattern for beginners is a great example of interval training. It allows a beginner to get in far more training time than a single, continuous run would do. For more details, read [[Starting to run]]
* '''Hill training''' is a type of interval training, usually doing high intensity uphill and recovering on the downhill. However, it can be better to do the high intensity downhill and recover uphill. For more details, read [[Downhill Running]], [[Downhill Intervals]] and [[Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness]]
* '''[[Fartlek]]''' is a term given to running at different paces with no fixed structure. The word 'fartlek[[Fartlek]]' comes from the Swedish for 'speed play'. Often a [[Fartlek]] session will involve choosing a visible landmark (next tree, top of the hill, etc) and a pace during the run. This can be done solo, or in a group, with each person taking turns to choose the landmark and the pace.
* '''[[Walking Breaks|Run/walk long runs]]''' can be used to build endurance. For established runners, this is more common in marathon and ultramarathon training than shorter distances.
* '''[[Tabata High Intensity Interval Training]]'''. This training uses very high intensity running for very short periods, often with very short recoveries. This type of interval training produces some of the best results for the time allocated.
