MAIN TOPIC: Why Should Runners Structure Training?
Have you ever heard the term periodization? Are you familiar with it? Periodization in running is working on key elements at different points in your training to maximize them for growth during a stretch of time. They are designed to give you the greatest results for scheduled race or season of racing.
You want to use periodization if you are looking to have a peak race season.
During this episode we share different phases of periodization including what workouts to do and when. To help us discuss the topic is 2x Olympic Trials marathoner Jed Christiansen.
