Overdistance training is the essential element in the development of the endurance base. Coaches and athletes are learning that the intensity of training is more important than mileage. Today overdistance runs are becoming shorter and more intense. Runners use tempo running, shorter runs at a pace that causes an optimal pulse reading for a length of time, rather than “grinding out the miles” on long, slow runs. The training effect is much greater.
