Well, it’s pretty counterintuitive, isn’t it? I fell into the intervals trap. My 400m and 800m times improved, but my distance running (anything over a mile, really) got steadily worse despite the “new wisdom” telling me that intervals with maybe a single long run per week was the way to go.
No more!
“despite the new wisdom telling me that intervals with maybe a single long run per week was the way to go.”
Why is it that “new wisdom” is never right?
