One of the most common misconceptions of becoming a good runner is that the only way to get better is to spend every single minute of training at your limits - huffing and puffing, legs burning. Nothing could be further from the truth. The 80/20 principle applies: 80% of your training should be at or below your aerobic limit. For me, that’s less than 145bpm (I’m 25). I describe it as my ‘run all day’ pace.*
