Long run:
Run comfortably easy. Deliberately start at a slow pace so that you have plenty
of margin to increase it naturally as the run progresses.
|
Time on your feet: duration is the goal
not speed.
Build up your pace slowly and gradually
to optimize your slow-burning free fatty acid metabolism.

- Aerobic
- Endurance: cardiovascular & musculo-skeletal
- Fat burning metabolism
- Capillarization of blood vessels

- Rhythm
- Learning to read your own body
|
- Running the entire run too fast and
becoming gradually worn down over the weeks.
- Starting out too fast and raising your
core temperature to burn more glycogen rather than fats.
- Taking replacement carbohydrates on the
way thus not allowing your body to learn to metabolize fats
efficiently
