Masters On The Move

Most Runners Skip This Workout (Steady-State Explained)


Listen Later

If you want to build real stamina and improve your lactate threshold without burning out, you need to understand steady-state running.


Steady-state training sits at the low end of threshold training. It’s one of the most overlooked workouts in distance running — yet it forms the foundation of marathon and half marathon performance.


In this episode of Run Faster with Coach Justin, you’ll learn:


• What steady-state training actually is

• How it differs from tempo and threshold workouts

• Why it improves lactate clearance and aerobic durability

• How to structure a steady-state session properly

• The most common mistake runners make


Threshold training builds stamina by increasing your ability to clear lactate and buffer acidity — allowing you to hold faster paces for longer. Steady-state work develops that system without excessive fatigue, making it essential for long-term progress.


If you’re training for a 10K, half marathon, or marathon, this workout belongs in your program.
