BALANCE YOUR TRAINING STIMULI

Question:  How do I run faster without running more distance?
Answer:  Balance your training stimuli.

The top priority for NorCal Endurance athletes is their biomechanics.  Our secondary focus is the quality of their programming.  A runner must focus on their biomechanics as well as their programming in order to maximize their performance.  Poor programming usually lacks balance.

The top focus should be the balance between aerobic and anaerobic conditioning.  CrossFit athletes must focus the majority of their running at lower intensities with small amounts maximum efforts.  The secondary focus should be on variation of workouts that should include long runs, short & long intervals, easy runs, steady state runs, threshold runs, fartlek runs, progressive runs, sprints, time trials, and hill repeats.  No stimulus should be over or underemphasized.
