Four Types Of Training Runs
YOUTH RUNNER MAGAZINE|November - December 2017

From Coach Bob’s talk at the YR Middle School Camp in August with questions from the campers.

Four Types Of Training Runs

What I want to talk about now is, training. There are about four or five things that coaches on a national and international level do with runners. Lets go through these and attach it to the Rating of Perceived Effort (RPE) breathing challenge.

Do you all know what it’s like to breathe really hard that last lap of a race?

How many of you have never experienced that feeling of breathing so hard that you’re not even sure you’re going to finish. The question now is, what do you want to do with that?

Do you know what Fartlek means?

It means speed play in Swedish. Basically Fartlek means, utilizing all the elements of training and competing in a 20-30 minute loop or training session. If you’re talking about speed play, you’re talking about easy running, then running really hard. Well how much hard training can you really do in a session? Can you do an hour of really hard training? Well, maybe, maybe not. You may feel dead after about 30-40 minutes of that because your body can only take so much.
