213. Running during off-season

In this episode of the Marathon Running Podcast, we talk to Coach David Levine, the head coach of the LA Roadrunners, about running during the off-season. We explore the importance of base training in marathon preparation and how it builds a strong aerobic foundation for later stages. Coach Levine discusses the key components of an effective base training program, including mileage, long runs, cross-training, and strength training, tailored for different experience levels. He shares strategies for safely increasing weekly mileage to avoid injury, approaches to intensity and pacing, and the role of cross-training. Additionally, he explains how he customizes training plans for runners with varying backgrounds and goals, and how he monitors and adjusts training to ensure progress.Theme Song:––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––Night Out by LiQWYD / liqwyd Creative Commons — Attribution 3.0 Unported — CC BY 3.0 Free Download / Stream: https://www.audiolibrary.com.co/liqwyd/night-out Music promoted by Audio Library • Night Out – LiQWYD (No Copyright Music) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tut9O8uaJho&t=13s ––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
