Training Strategies

There are many runners who train 3 or more times a week in preparation for their chosen races. The most popular distances are 5k, 10k, Half marathons and Full Marathons. No matter what distance you are training for, the same set of rules apply. You must plan your training with the next race in mind. This should include a mixture of easy, hard and at pace runs. It is always a good idea to vary the training runs and choose some which have hills both up and down. The aim is to get yourself well prepared and your fitness level to the best possible. It is in providing the variation in training that can lead to a better outcome on race day. Giving yourself new challenges when training is far better than just going out and running the same routes which gets quite boring. Running with someone else can also help a great deal. It gets quite lonely when out with no one else. Having company can lift your spirits through all kinds of training routines and this can be good for the overall preparation that you ar doing.
