Q:
To get better at the 2.4km, how long and how fast should I run when training?

advertisement
Running slower for a longer duration (60-90 minutes) depletes glycogen from your slow-twitch (endurance) muscles, according to Peter Snell, PhD, a University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center researcher. This then allows the fast-twitch (speed) muscles to undergo a similar depletion, which trains them.

 

What's a healthy condiment I can use?
How can I improve my standing broad jump technique?
