A new study breaks down the Strava data of over 150,000 recreational marathon runners, mapping out the average mileage and workout modalities against finish times. There were a few surprises in there, but most of all it was about quantity of easy miles:
Attention runners: If youโve recently snagged a faster Boston Qualifying time, itโs time to update your details! โ โ The Boston Athletic Association (B.A.A.) is giving runners who have already met the qualifying standard the chance to submit a faster time ahead of the 2025 Boston Marathonโand this could make all the difference in securing your bib number and seeding.
Heart rate training for runners has long been one of the most scientific approaches to endurance training and is relatively easy to carry out once you have a heart rate monitor and have defined your heart rate zones.โ โ But to do this, you need to know how to figure out your maximum heart rate. Luckily, we've got everything you need to know.
Runners often have two main goals in mind when they are looking to improve: speed and distance. โ โ โEither we want to run faster, or we want to run longer, and to tell you the truth, most of us want both in the long run (pun intended!).
