#33: How running slower can help you to get faster
About this episode
Slower running has been studied in depth and has proven benefits when it comes to increasing performance and reducing injury risk yet it seems so counterintuitive. I break down some of the training methodologies and why you might still not be running easy enough.
I talk about how easy running should feel and ways to measure it which can be particularly hard at the start.
