FAQs
We use a combination of lactate threshold testing, previous race data, and critical velocity analysis to map out your effort-to-speed ratio. This ensures negative splits and an energy-efficient race strategy.
We structure hill-specific VO2 max intervals and resisted sprint drills to match the gradient shifts at Roath Park and Cathays. This builds muscle endurance without overloading joints.
Most runners underfuel their carbohydrate availability pre-race. We implement a glycogen-loading protocol while balancing electrolyte absorption to prevent mid-race crashes.
Standard programs range from 8-16 weeks, but we adjust based on your current fitness level and race goals.
