Key Training Principles for Runners – Free Guide
I wrote this guide for runners who are already putting in the work – but feel unsure if their sessions are actually moving them forward. Running can be simple – but improving takes more than just running more. This free guide explains the key training principles every runner can use to get more out of each session.
Inside you’ll find:
- The difference between aerobic and anaerobic training.
- How to use heart rate zones effectively.
- What threshold training is, and why it matters.
- VO₂ max explained in practical terms.
- The Borg scale as a tool for intensity control.
- Four practical tips to structure your training.
Who is it for?
This guide is written for runners of all levels who want to understand the “why” behind their training and apply it in practice – whether you’re preparing for HYROX, a 10K, or just want to run with more structure.
