Without knowing when the normal activity and the competitions can start again, we need to maintain a level of shape of 80-85%, so in two months of specific training is possible to reach the best personal shape again.ù
This is what road runners do. Different is the situation for track runners, who probably can start their activity 1 or 2 months before road runners. They are in almost normal training, with the goal to be ready for the end of June.

Mr. Canova, What effort level would you best compare the "submaximal intensity" of the 300-400m hills to?

and are you really a kenyan or retardo's fellow hispanic? I don't follow this forum that closely but saw some people accusing you of acting moronic as if to undermine kenyans

What do you think? What I say won’t matter to to the great and good of LetsRun who have alalready made up their minds.

Any chance you would provide a bit more detailed plan for we slower people to pass the time during the pandemic?
