THE ANGRIEST TRAINER 351: LISTENER MARK THOMSON

Today is second in our Saturday edition of one-on-one with listener questions. Today’s listener is Mark Thomson from New Zealand and he has a question about improving his running time…

PLEASE SUPPORT OUR SPONSORS

MARK’S QUESTION ABOUT RUNNING

  • He has been a long-distance runner for 20-30 years and wants to get faster…less than 20 mins for a 5K
  • If you go out to fast, you get exhausted and if you don’t go out fast enough you won’t have a good time
  • What can he do to build up power to be able to improve his time by 30 seconds?
  • Is weight training effective?

WHAT WORKS

  • Varying speeds, for example go from zone 2 to a spring…interval training…is very effective
  • Good to gym exercise…lunge and squats will add power to your legs
  • But to go faster, find a program like Joe Friel’s 5K training routine
  • Gotta run hard and stay relaxed
