frescoRunning 6x1km #EIM + eating 5x1 home-made crêpes as recovery.
A perfect section for the #EIM 400m intervals.

Replaced a few #EIM interval sessions with easy runs this week. I'm surprised how different and sustainable this feels.
A total of 85km (#running and walking).

MarvinFreemanHas any tried or have opinions about the Easy Interval Method?
@frescosecco and I had a chat yesterday about his experience with #EIM. He's new to it but likes it.
I'm interested as a way to train for half marathons. The attraction is the author's claim that lower mileage but more sub-threshold intervals reduces injuries.

There's a negative review here, followed by a great deal of pushback:
@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
@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.
@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.
