Running Coach Is Begging Recreational Runners to Ignore This Viral Training Rule
Share
That viral 80/20 running rule might be sabotaging your progress. 🤯
Ever heard of it? 80% of your training easy, 20% hard. A top coach warns it's designed for elite athletes running massive weekly mileage, not for those of us fitting runs in around real life.
For most runners, that 20% of 'hard' work just isn't enough to trigger real improvement.
The better approach? Focus on QUALITY. Ditch the rigid ratio and aim for three key sessions a week:
🎯 1 Tempo/Threshold Run
🏃♂️ 1 Long, Easy Run
⚡ 1 Interval Session
Stop chasing junk miles and start training smarter. Your PBs will thank you for it.
