In this week's episode: Sara dives into the top 3 reasons why speed workouts are essential for long-distance runners. If you're preparing for a marathon or just looking to improve your running performance, this episode is packed with insights on how speed training can make a significant difference. Today's episode discusses: Muscle Power Recruitment: Speed workouts engage more muscle power, which is crucial during the latter stages of a marathon when fatigue sets in. High-intensity running improves stride length, pace, and cadence, leading to a better-running economy and efficiency. Building muscle power through track workouts can lead to significant improvements in running form and performance over time. Cardiovascular Benefits: Speed training strengthens the heart and lungs, enhancing the body's ability to process lactate and improving overall cardiovascular health. High-intensity intervals, such as 200-meter repeats, help the body adapt to increased levels of intensity and improve endurance. Consistent speed training can create a faster runner, making your previous 5K pace your new 10K pace, Boosting Metabolism: High-intensity workouts boost metabolism, which helps in getting fitter faster, especially beneficial for shorter marathon training builds. Enhanced metabolism aids in better energy production, making runners more efficient. DOWNLOAD A TRAINING PLAN: The Elevate Your Running Training Plans are now available.
