Intro
Here’s a breakdown of Lee Grantham’s Fastest Way To Burn Fat so you can run the workout. Watch the full video for context and fine-tuning.
Key points
- A 12 to 15 min warm-up preps your glutes, hamstrings, quads, and joints for faster running and lowers injury risk.
- The main workout alternates 1 min at race-pace intensity (around your 5K/10K effort) with 60 sec of easy walking. Hold steady effort across all intervals.
- Start with 10 repeats. Progress by extending hard intervals to 2, 3, 5, or 10 minutes. Always recover for 60 sec.
- Use dynamic leg swings, strides, and midfoot landing for power and efficiency.
- Pace by effort, not clock time. Deep breathing during recovery walks brings HR down faster.
Workout example
- Warm-up (12 to 15 min):
- Walk 400 to 500 m over 4 to 5 min.
- Easy jog for 500 to 600 m (about 1 min) to hit roughly 1 km total.
- Dynamic leg swings and hip-flexor stretches.
- 4 to 5 short strides, building speed each one.
- Interval set (beginner):
- 10 intervals of 1 min each at 5K to 10K race pace.
- Walk easy (or jog very slowly) for 60 sec between.
- Hold the same intensity from first rep to last.
- Progression:
- Increase reps or lengthen hard intervals to 2, 3, or more minutes. Keep 60 sec recovery.
