Episode 27: How Many Miles Should You Run Per Week?

We answer one of the most common questions we receive as running coaches: how many miles (or kilometers) should you run per week? Discussion points include: Why your weekly training volume is fluid, not static The rationale for high-volume training Why you need to consider strength training, cross-training, nutrition, and lifestyle into determining your weekly training volume Individual response and why some athletes may not need high mileage Why training time matters more than miles or kilometers Training volume is dependent on the frequency of running How to use past performances to guide your training Finding the balance of volume and intensity What to do if you are struggling to increase low mileage We also answer a listener's question about how to carry your gels on race day.  Amanda’s mileage chart: https://www.instagram.com/p/CfBpdskAcuT/ References PMID: 27570626 PMID: 31045681 PMID: 35418513 PMID: 34021488
