FAQ

Frequently asked questions

Do 5K runners need long runs?

Yes. Long runs support aerobic capacity and training tolerance, with distance adjusted to the runner.

Should I do intervals every week?

Not necessarily. Intervals, threshold sessions and easier weeks are organized according to the season and fatigue.

Should I force my cadence to 180?

No. Cadence is context-dependent and should not be treated as a universal target.

Do not run every day fast to become faster.

Share your current result and your 5K or 10K target.
