Understanding your training makes you a better athlete.
Running training can quickly become complicated. Thresholds, zones, recovery, strength, fuelling, training load and countless different sessions can leave runners wondering what they should actually be doing.
This blog is about making those subjects useful. I'll explore the science behind running performance while translating it into practical information you can apply to your own training.
Explore The Topics

Sessions, training structure and progression.
Performance

Evidence Into Practice
Science is useful when we can actually apply it.
Research can help us understand endurance performance, but a scientific paper alone doesn't tell an individual runner exactly how they should train.
I'll use the blog to explore both sides: what the evidence tells us and how those principles can be translated into sensible, practical running training.
