understand the why behind any training you do or any advice you get you don t need a degree in exercise science but understanding the why behind what you do help you implement more effectively and stick to it in this section we ll look at some of the most important and underlying principles of training for newer runners aerobic vs anaerobic training if you are reading this article chances are you have been bitten by the running bug it can be hard to explain as at some why is aerobic training important to runners in one of my earlier posts i discussed the difference between aerobic and anaerobic training and the effect each can have on your performance while how to warm up correctly for a race warming up properly for your race will help you stay injury free and is the easiest way to improve your race times at shorter races like how the workout and recovery process works being a running coach is a lot of fun i get to talk with people the majority of my day about a sport i love how to breathe while running how exactly do you breathe properly while running it may seem like a simple question but there is a right and wrong way to do a few of the most important workouts to get you started there s a lot of nuance to running workouts not only are there a lot of different physiological systems you want to target speed endurance long runs strength etc but there s a lot of different ways you can attack them in this section we ve done our best to highlight some of the more important workouts and concepts to help you develop a solid training foundation there are certainly more workouts you can add to your repertoire and we hope we can continue to educate and help you as you grow as a runner if you are interested in a custom plan or coaching where we give you day by day instructions with specific paces and exact workouts and distances check out our custom training plans here what is lactate threshold how it works and why it matters for runners lactate threshold is the most trainable performance factor in distance running learn what it means how to find yours and the 4 workouts that push it faster speed vs aerobic endurance what is holding you back the first step to improving is almost always identifying your strengths and weaknesses whether it be preparing for a job interview or improving your 5k why the first run less run faster method doesn t work if you re a regular reader of our blog you ll know that i don t have a one size fits all approach to training i believe each runner is an run walk method the run walk method has shown to be great for beginners and experienced runners alike hear what coach dylan has to say about it on treadmill vs running outside which is best for runners how does running on a treadmill compare to running outside is one easier than the other it s a common question and despite conflicting opinions scientific how lactic acid works for runners have you ever been running a race or workout feeling strong running faster than you ever have before and you start to think about how long run pace calculator find your exact easy training zone research shows optimal long run pace is 55 75 of 5k pace use our pace calculator to find your exact easy training range find out more why every runner needs to do threshold intervals when designing running workouts a coach can manipulate three elements of the training plan to elicit certain physiological adaptations these three elements are the time tempo run vs interval run key differences and when to use both learn the difference between tempo runs and interval runs how to find your tempo pace and what garmin s zone 4 means for threshold training how to stay healthy for the long run hands down the fastest way to become a better runner is consistency the more days weeks and months you can string together without significant time off the faster you will improve one of the most common and sucky ways to lose consistency is getting injured and unfortunately getting injured is also very common recent research estimates that 82 of runners will get injured at some point in their running career it s no secret then that getting to the bottom of your running injuries and preventing them in the future is critical if you want to continue to improve long term by implementing injury prevention knowledge early in your journey as a runner you can stave off many injuries and improve much faster why runners get hurt recent research has shown that as many as 79 of runners get injured at least once during the year stop think about that number for how to prevent running injuries the evidence based guide most running injuries stem from training load not bad biomechanics this evidence based guide covers prevention red flags and safe return to running how to recover from and prevent shin splints suffering from shin splints coach danny gives some tips and tricks to help you recover from the injury and prevent it in the future listen what is causing your
