How cadence changes affect running economy, injury risk, and sustainability over time.
Training Volume & Marathon Performance
Insights from the 2022 Boston Marathon survey.
Why higher yearly training volume and more quality sessions (speed work) are linked to faster race times.
How slightly reducing training frequency/volume in the 4 months before race day may improve results.
HIIT Frequency for Recreational Runners
A six-week study comparing 1, 2, or 3 weekly HIIT sessions.
Why two HIIT sessions per week seems to strike the best balance between adaptation, recovery, and adherence.
The surprising improvements seen even with just one session per week.
Plantar Plate Injuries
