Episode 27: How Many Miles Should You Run Per Week?
We answer one of the most common questions we receive as running coaches: how many miles (or kilometers) should you run per week?
Discussion points include:
Why your weekly training volume is fluid, not static
The rationale for high-volume training
Why you need to consider strength training, cross-training, nutrition, and lifestyle into determining your weekly training volume
Individual response and why some athletes may not need high mileage
Why training time matters more than miles or kilometers
Training volume is dependent on the frequency of running
How to use past performances to guide your training
Finding the balance of volume and intensity
What to do if you are struggling to increase low mileage
We also answer a listener's question about how to carry your gels on race day.
