MFR 145: How to Make Easy Runs Work for You

Most people know about the hard easy principle of training. Goodness knows, I’ve talked about it on this podcast enough, but in practice, many runners don’t enjoy the benefits because they run their easy runs at the wrong pace. That can easily sabotage a runner’s training.

In this episode, I explain how to determine the right easy run pace, and I have a couple of tips for maintaining the right pace. The result will be a much better payoff for training and much more effective  speed work.

Optimize your running training by properly applying the hard easy principle.  You must keep your easy runs easy and your hard runs hard to get the desired training effect.
