How slow should my easy runs be? Am I running to fast and sabotaging my base training? What are my goals? How much time can I dedicate to my training?

In this behind the scenes live coaching session, we explore a question I hear frequently: how slow should my every day running in base training be? We share the entire coaching process from initial question to having a specific plan for my client Kate’s next month or so of training, including addressing how she could possibly add one stride per mile to her week without becoming fatigued and overtrained. We wrap up with a full breakdown of the process I took Kate through, for next time you’re coaching yourself through a similar question in your own running.
