Event-specific Training for Running PBs

from Running with Dr Will Hosted by Dr Will O'Connor

One of the biggest mistakes I see runners make is ignoring specificity in their training. If you want to run a PB at your next event, you need to be ticking off event-specific workouts from two months out. What most people do is a random mix of volume, ambiguous intensity often referred to as “speed”, some group runs (typically grey zone), and then a couple of workouts they found online from Strava, social media or a free plan… that they never followed. The truth is…. You don’t need to work on your speed... ...because marathons aren’t fast.
