How Fast Should I Run in Training: All Out or 80/20 Running?

#runningtips #runners #running

How fast should I run in training is one of the most common questions I've been asked over the years. It is also not an easy question to answer. There are no short cuts in middle to long distance running success.

Should you run fast in every workout or follow an 80/20 running plan? My advice is to think long-term and follow a solid, well laid out running program. You will take out all of the second guessing and wondering if you are training properly or not for your chosen event.

So, how fast should you run in training is going to come down to how fit you are. No one starts out being able to do long tempo runs or hit great splits on the track and roads immediately. The key is allowing time for your body to adapt to what you are throwing at it. Remember, the key to middle to long distance running is adaptation and allowing for that physiological adaptation to occur. All of the benefits of your hard work is going to come within the rest.

80/20 running is a better plan. One, you're not going to overtrain and push too hard too early. Great runners know the importance of hard anaerobic training. More importantly, recovering from those hard workouts on easy days.
