Long slow distance?

We have looked at the Glute Ham Raise and its variations in the last couple of days as a result of the exercise having been brought up in my interview with Alex Maroko.

Today I want to take a look at another key point that came out of this interview. I am talking about the topic of long slow distance training for speed based athletes. Alex clearly stated that this is a no go area.

The video below provides suggestions on what can be done instead.



Tempo training will provide beneficial adaptations to the cardiovascular system whilst also supporting recovery from the higher intensity speed and strength training sessions.
