Rogue Running

Long run workouts are like a puzzle where no two pieces are the same. Trust Chris McClung when he says, “there is a method to the madness.”

PSA: you don’t want to tackle your summer training without electrolytes. Take a tip from Chris McClung and pay close attention to how you feel after long runs 👌

Recovery days should be glacially slow. Look at the pros and compare their easy paces to their race paces. Are you slowing down by the same percentage? Worth reviewing. Keep the easy days easy!

Space out your hard days with active recovery runs and you’ll avoid many common injuries

As you plan your training block, look at where you are currently and simply ask if you can make that next step towards a bigger MLR. Do that season over season and you’ll quickly have a robust MLR.

The MLR is the “third leg of the stool.” Don’t neglect it!

The Medium Long Run is the “unsung hero” of distance training. If it’s a run you’re not utilizing, give it some extra attention and priority in your next training block to see what you unlock.

Don’t see race day as a complete mystery. You can incorporate long run workouts and “simulators “ as a dress rehearsal for fuel, hydration, gear, and even course profile itself!!

Lung run workouts don’t just develop the body, they bolster confidence too!
