  • Sprint and speed development.

FAQ

Questions about road, trail, track and cross-country coaching.

Do you coach track, cross-country and trail athletes as well as road runners?

Yes. RacePace coaching covers road, trail, track and cross-country running, including middle-distance and speed development.

Can RacePace help me improve my 5 km, 10 km, half marathon or marathon time?

Yes. Training can be built around your current fitness, training history and target race distance, with sessions designed to improve endurance, speed, threshold fitness and race-specific performance.

Will every training session be hard?

No. Good training uses a balance of easy running, quality sessions, recovery, endurance work and race-specific training. Hard sessions are most effective when they are supported by enough recovery.

How do I know what running pace I should train at?

Training pace should be based on the purpose of the session, your current ability and recent performances rather than using one pace for every workout.
