Track Training
Track can seem quite scary but if you are after a way to improve your fitness or working towards a personal best then track is the way forward.
I have only recently started incorporating track into my training and I have noticed a massive difference in my running. I used to hit the road and think it was all about how much mileage I could do and maybe do a few sprints every now and again. Since changing my training plan and having quality sessions rather than quantity I have reaped the benefits. I still have a long way to go but I can see the benefits of including track sessions into my sessions. The most important aspect of track training is to ensure that you do not sprint. It is all about controlled threshold running!!!
Benefits of track......
- Improve your speed over time and your endurance
- Improve form and technique so you will run more efficiently.
- Keep you motivated and builds your confidence and diversifying your training.
- Give you more focus and make your training more specific to your goals
- Conditioning your body and your mind to run at threshold over a set distance
- Teaching your body to deal with oxygen debt
Give it a go....... I bet you won't look back!!!
