Long Distance Competitive Runners Need Speed Training

Get the lasting fat loss and weight loss results you want with My Fitness Hut's Fat Blaster Athletic Training System!

Long distance races and triathlons "are all the rage" right now.....Any 5K/10K race or triathlon will require that you run fast at some point....Plyometric and speed training should be a part of your overall training program. Having more power and speed will give you an advantage over your competition. Speed and plyometric training increases your chances of injury. Proper warm-up is critical as are proper jumping and landing techniques. You could include one day each of speed and plyometric training (not consecutive days).



Also, mastering proper running mechanics will make you a more efficient runner and protect you against injuries. You will make a tough race or triathlon even tougher when you "fight against yourself" as you run! What do I mean by this? You "fight against yourself" when you have terrible running mechanics.

Train hard and safe!
