Episode notes
INSIGHT

Downfall of Hard Recovery Runs

  • Running too hard on recovery runs prevents proper recovery and aerobic adaptation.
  • Many runners unintentionally train in a 'gray area' that hinders performance and recovery.
INSIGHT

Wrong Training Intensity Hurts Performance

  • Running faster than your marathon effort during training won't improve marathon performance.
  • Training at the correct aerobic intensity is crucial to enhance race-specific fitness.
ADVICE

Use Heart Rate Over Pace

  • Avoid using pace alone to guide training; internal effort via heart rate is more reliable.
  • Get a lactic threshold test and use a chest strap monitor for accurate heart rate zones.
