Most Runners Skip This Workout (Steady-State Explained)

If you want to build real stamina and improve your lactate threshold without burning out, you need to understand steady-state running. Steady-state training sits at the low end of threshold training. It’s one of the most overlooked workouts in distance running — yet it forms the foundation of marathon and half marathon performance. In this episode of Run Faster with Coach Justin, you’ll learn: • What steady-state training actually is • How it differs from tempo and threshold workouts • Why it improves lactate clearance and aerobic durability • How to structure a steady-state session properly • The most common mistake runners make Threshold training builds stamina by increasing your ability to clear lactate and buffer acidity — allowing you to hold faster paces for longer. Steady-state work develops that system without excessive fatigue, making it essential for long-term progress. If you’re training for a 10K, half marathon, or marathon, this workout belongs in your program. Subscribe for more evidence-based running coaching designed to help you train smarter and run faster.
