Interval Training
Speed Bursts
Like high-intensity interval training for athletes, speed bursts alternate between fast reading phases and recovery periods. This pushes your reading speed while maintaining comprehension.
Speed Bursts
Interval training for reading. Alternate between fast "burst" phases and slower recovery phases to push your speed limits.
How It Works
Like interval training for athletes, speed bursts alternate fast and slow reading phases. The bursts push you beyond your comfort zone, while rest phases allow recovery. This builds reading speed over time.
The Science of Interval Training
Burst Phases
During burst phases, you read at speeds above your comfort zone. This stretches your cognitive limits and trains your brain to process text faster. Don't worry if comprehension drops slightly - that's expected.
Recovery Phases
Rest phases allow your brain to consolidate the speed gains. Reading at a comfortable pace lets you catch your breath mentally while maintaining the forward momentum of the training session.
