The Arsenal

Running

The base of the whole thing. Easy miles, intervals, or compromised running.

How to do it

  • —Easy days genuinely easy — nose-breathing pace, not 'medium'.
  • —Cadence over stride length; shorter, quicker steps under fatigue.
  • —On compromised running, the first 100m off a station always lies. Settle, then push.

Common mistakes

  • —Running every run at the same medium-hard pace.
  • —Adding volume and intensity in the same week.
  • —Going out too hard on the first kilometre of a race. Everyone. Every time.

Scale it easier

Run/walk intervals; drop pace until you can hold a conversation.

Scale it harder

Add tempo blocks, run off a station, or negative-split the piece.
