Periodization! How to use it as a Runner
This is probably one of the most underexposed topics in most runners training programs!
In this video I will give some basic tips on how to use periodization to your advantage and what those main benefits are! We will also dive into my own periodization for this year, because I am running two marathons and some shorter distances races. And after my first in April I am now coming back from the marathon to shorter track races! How, let’s dive into this topic!
Probably most runners recognise it when I say we tend to train somewhat with the same weekly or monthly schedule the whole year. Also with quite similar volume every month. There is no clear distinction in base building/mileage and adding more race pace specific workouts towards the race.
Especially building a base and fully focusing on tempo and mileage for example 2 months is also something which most people could benefit from. To really optimize your periodization you need to set long term goals/races at least half a year in the future.
