How we approach our training
Our training program is based around the 80/20 running. This is the 80/20 training approach:
The 80/20 running method is a training approach that involves spending 80 percent of your training time at a low intensity and 20 percent at a moderate to high intensity. This means that most of your training runs should be at a conversational pace (low intensity), while the remaining 20 percent of your runs should be at a higher intensity, such as intervals or hill repeats.
The idea behind this approach is that by spending most of your training time at a low intensity, you can build up your aerobic base, which is essential for endurance running. This also helps to reduce the risk of injury and overtraining, as you’re not constantly pushing your body to its limits.
The remaining 20 percent of your training time at a higher intensity helps to improve your speed and fitness by pushing your body to work harder and adapt to the stress. By alternating between these two types of workouts, you can build a strong foundation for your running and achieve your goals.
