Summary
It’s the age old runner’s debate: should you train by time or by distance? This week, Coach Ryan Tibball joins the show to unpack which method works best, and when each approach is most beneficial. Drawing from RunDot’s time-based training philosophy, Ryan breaks down why training by time can lead to long-term success and how to make the most of it. We dive into practical tips for adapting time-based training to group runs, when it’s okay to break the rules and run for distance, and even what to do when your watch ends on that annoying .99 of a mile. Whether you’re a new runner or a seasoned pro, this episode is packed with valuable insights on how time-based training can change the way you run.
