Q1 Workout: Aerobic Base Development: Long Run, Easy pace. Be able to hold a conversation the entire time. 60-90 minutes is a good target area but optimally keep the distance no more than 30% of your weekly mileage. This run develops your foundational endurance and ability to burn stored fat more efficiently. Marathoners should be looking to go beyond 90 minutes per what your recent training support.
