Event-specific Training for Running PBs


Listen Later

One of the biggest mistakes I see runners make is ignoring specificity in their training. 

If you want to run a PB at your next event, you need to be ticking off event-specific workouts from two months out. 

What most people do is a random mix of volume, ambiguous intensity often referred to as “speed”, some group runs (typically grey zone), and then a couple of workouts they found online from Strava, social media or a free plan… that they never followed. 


The truth is…. You don’t need to work on your speed... 

...because marathons aren’t fast.
