In this episode we discuss the pros and cons, risks and rewards of speed and stamina work.
We discuss how the Bowerman Track Club athletes train together for different events from the mile to the marathon, but do much of their stamina training together. We specifically discuss a recent 5K time trial they did as a team at the Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Oregon, USA, in which three team members (Woody Kincaid, Lopez Lamong, and Matt Centrowitz paced by Moh Ahmed) ran under 13:00 for 5K.
Woody Kincaid breaks down the exhibition 5K on the Citius Mag Podcast.
Jacob shares more insight on the topic of speed vs. stamina training in SPEED vs. STAMINA
Jacob also suggests additional reading of You: Only Faster by Greg McMillan to learn how to best tailor training to yourself and Running to the Edge by Matthew Futterman to learn more about training at the threshold.
All of this and more in Episode 7 of the Art and Science of Running Podcast.
Intro and outro music by Dallin Puzey, GOIN 4 A WALK.
