Sustained Slow Running Will Make You Faster
|
It's not how fast you run, but how far that will ultimately improve your time in
he big race. Don't be tempted to neglect "basework" and do excessive speedwork as part of
your training regimen. Your ultimate performance is governed by the aerobic benefits gained
through periods of long, sustained and steady running. Speedwork has its place, but will
only take you so far.
