June 15, 2007, Newsletter Issue #58: Training for Shorter Races
Tip of the Week
In general, your training should reflect your race goal. If you're training for a marathon, most of your training should consist of long runs at an appropriately moderate pace. By the same token, training for shorter races involves shorter training runs… and a faster pace.
The shorter your goal race, the more likely it is you'll gain an advantage by running interval workouts – repetitions of fairly short distances at a fast pace. Hill sprints are also helpful. And while all runners can profit from weight training, runners competing at shorter distances tend to gain a greater advantage than long-distance runners.
