Jogging sessions and long outings must be
of low intensity.The runner must be able to
breathe easily and be capable of talking
normally while running! Interval training takes
places at a more intense pace than jog-
ging and long outings, but the pace must be
controlled and even.At the end of the session
you should feel slightly out of breath and tired
but not unbearably so .
In order to get the body used to functioning
with low energy reserves, you can fast before
you run. Nevertheless, remember to take
something to eat with you in case you suffer
from hypoglycaemia while training.
Take advantage of long outings to test the
equipment you want to use during the race
(particularly shoes). Try out your feeding
rations (e.g. energy gels , if you want to eat
some during the race.)
With interval training, breathing is important.
This is high-intensity exercise and your brea-
thing needs to be controlled!
As usual, the distance covered throughout
during the exercise session must be regular.
