Episode notes
Debunking the 10% Mileage Rule
- The 10% rule for increasing mileage is a myth with little scientific support.
- Adaptation to training is non-linear and individual, not fitting a fixed increment model.
Mechanical Load Limits Mileage
- Running adaptation depends on both physiological and mechanical adaptations.
- Mechanical adaptation to load limits how much mileage the body can safely handle.
Use Cross-Training for Unsound Runners
- If mechanically unsound, shift aerobic training to low-impact activities like swimming or cycling.
- Focus on quality running and cross-training for safe oxidative conditioning.
