Is a Minimalist Training Plan for You?
The minimalist training approach used in this plan is a relatively new training technique that in lower in weekly mileage and focuses on high quaility training runs, high intensity training and goal pace running. Most easy or recovery workouts are eliminated in favor of complete rest. This type of training plan is ideal for runner's that have a limited amount of training time or those that tend to suffer from over use injuries or over training syndrome. The downside to minimalist training is race performance related. While some runners are able to perform at very high levels with minimalist training most runners will struggle to reach their peak performance levels with this type of training.
