Episode #201: Training by Effort

Running Rogue

In this episode, I talk about the why, what, and how of effort-based training. It's important to remember that achieving your fitness goals is directly related to running at varying effort-levels in order to build your aerobic system in all of the right ways. Pace is only a proxy for effort. Effort is still king. And in order to effectively execute your training, then I believe every athlete should understand the effort desired for every workout and how to dial into it. I give you 8 effort zones with the purpose for each, and then talk about ways to learn to feel them on your runs and in your workouts.
