After a base of solid distance running has been established, a runner can add interval training to complete the elements needed for optimal racing fitness.

It is true that runners well below their maximum training load can increase any aspect of their training––including doing more slow and steady running––and see improved racing results.

Take care of yourself, and don’t get pushed around by anybody who sells you anything that goes on your feet.

Perhaps (I thought as I ran) it would be good to write about the technical side of running.

Every once in awhile there will be a good running coach who will have some success. This will seem like the way to do things, until the next System is discovered.
