EP. 76 - Can Runners Have Quality AND Quantity in Training?

For many runners, high mileage and quality don’t often blend well. Today’s episode is a discussion around why that is the case, and how you can combine the two for greater training and results! We discuss the benefits of high-mileage and why so many runners strive to increase training mileage on a consistent basis. Additionally, we explain what ‘quality’ means for your training and how to strike the proper balance of time and effort. From the athlete and coaches perspective, we consider the signs indicating whether you should focus on quantity of mileage, quality of training, and the possibility of balancing both as part of the growth equation.  As referenced during the episode, check out our discussion with Running Explained Elizabeth Scott for an in-depth understanding of the role of easy running and quality mileage in your training:  Episode 57: Why Heart Rate Training? - https://spotifyanchor-web.app.link/e/ap0VnDvX0Ab  Thank you for listening to this week’s episode!
