Training schedules can feel like alphabet soup: E, HM, M, T, I, etc. Don’t worry, let‘s demystify these pace types: 80% of your miles are Easy. The rest are faster: race pace (Half Marathon or Marathon), Threshold (what you can sustain for an hour), and Interval (about 5K pace). Training at different paces not only prepares your body for race day; it adds variety and fun!
