What’s the longest distance you’d feel comfortable training for on just 5 hours per week?
What’s the longest distance you’d feel comfortable training for on just 5 hours per week?
I was chatting with a friend about how much training time really matters for long-distance running. It got me wondering—if you only had 5 hours a week, what distance would you personally feel comfortable training for, given your own experience, physique, and ability?
Let’s say the week looks something like this:
One faster session (1h) Two slower runs (1h each) A longer run on the weekend (2h)
With that kind of schedule, what’s the max distance you’d feel prepared for?
