Description:

Let’s get back to basics! In this episode, I’m breaking down the three main types of runs you'll see in your training - easy runs, moderate-intensity workouts like tempo or threshold, and high-intensity speed work - and explaining what each one is actually supposed to do for your fitness. If you’ve ever wondered, “Am I running this right?”, this one’s for you.

Once you understand what each run is meant to accomplish, the next step is learning how to execute it correctly, and that’s where simple alerts on your running watch can be a game-changer. I’ll explain how I use pace and heart rate alerts to help build confidence, stay in the right zone, and most importantly, start enhancing our internal understanding of what those different intensities feel like. This is how you move from chasing numbers to actually training smarter.
