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 Pure Vitamin Club Amazon 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
