Run Coaching and Training
Just starting!!
Being a newbie! I just have a few que
as I am training to run a marathon in Oct and doing the BBMC an 18mile trail over the Brecon Beacons in Wales UK.
1) I find it very hard to run short (3-4 miles) distances, i.e I don't relax until mile 4-5, I still enjoy getting out, so will it still help in my training
2) do we have our own built in speed that we run at? As I have tried Fartlek training but it made me worse !! So now don't do this anymore. So the question is really is speed training important?
I am sure I have lots more to ask but one thing at a time :-)

I actually look forward to speed work. It's the easy runs I have the most trouble getting motivated to do at times. If you haven't done much speed training, you will likely find out that you enjoy it more than you would have thought. Whether it's the surge in neurotransmitters or the sense of having accomplished something difficult, that last repeat and the cool down afterwards is very rewarding!

I remember my first speed session...it was actually my first 6 min test 3 years ago...My legs were like, "what the hell?..where's the fire?...did a kid run out in the street?...what are you doing? and why aren't you stopping?!!!" I had run for over 20 years at that point...but never fast! It was the weirdest feeling.

nothing like lying on your back in middle of track, gasping for air, after some speed work!

Thanks Robert, you took the words right out of my mouth. Speed is hugely important on many levels:
- run health/muscle activation
- performance enhancement
- strength
- improves endurance and run form, economy, efficiency.
And Rich loves it!!
