BOA lot of you can’t run 5-6 days a week, so how do you make sure those few sessions actually count?
I used to cram every session in like it was my last, pushing too hard and wondering why my legs felt cooked all the time. Here’s what I’ve learned:
1️⃣ Running Everything Too Hard
If you’re only running twice a week, it’s tempting to go all-out every session, but that just leads to burnout and slow progress.
Fix: Stick to the 80/20 rule – one run should be easy and long, the other can be short and intense. It’s a way better combo for speed and endurance.
2️⃣ignoring Your Base
Thinking you don’t have time for slow runs? Those easy miles are where you build the aerobic engine that makes you faster over time.
Fix: Make one run a long, easy session – it’ll pay off when you need that extra gear on race day.
3️⃣Skipping the Strides or Intervals
If you’re only running twice, you need at least one hard effort. Otherwise, you’re just logging miles without purpose.
Fix: Add some strides, hill sprints, or interval sessions to your second run – these are where speed gains happen.
