@tiga_style I thought you especially would find this interesting as a middle distance athlete. Have you ever implemented them in your training?

Old but Gold: Lydiard Hill Drills https://t.co/20A1oFhjK4

Some things never go out of style. While developed over a half a century ago, the Lydiard hill circuit is still one of the best ways for runners to get faster and more explosive, largely because of the specificity.

Inside the underrated coach Scott Rackzo’s training of Alan Webb https://t.co/3zjPO2AWfq

One of the most innovative and underrated coaches of our time, Rackzo is best known for developing prodigy Alan Webb. Here’s a deep dive into his run, strength, and plyometric training.

@Fred__Duncan Love using these for myself and my athletes even though we are distance focused. Feels like it gives the legs some pop and there stride looks noticeably more powerful and efficient.

[Total Running Solution @totalrunsol]

@HolmerNoah I’m loving the Saucony Azura and the Puma Nitro pure. Both non plated super trainers that have a lot of pop. Azura is a little stiffer but I like that for workout days.

@Brady_H Same for me. Plus I feel like I can push harder on the stationary bike.

@lovertoblame I would die willingly

@runwithcuan @adamlipschitz Boring as hell but the arc trainer is a great tool. Best cross training option imo

The case for continuous tempo runs https://t.co/xtz6zHC0wR

Threshold reps are all the rage right now. But the classic tempo run still has a place!

[Total Running Solution @totalrunsol]

@poetwithpace I’ve used it for about 5 years now and love it. It makes doing threshold workouts so simple and I find it to be extremely accurate.

A guide for when to use BiCarb https://t.co/YbSmwkFPTI

Most agree 3k and down is the sweet spot for BiCarb. But does it work for longer races? And why did Sabastian Sawe use it for the WR marathon?

[Total Running Solution @totalrunsol]

The inaugural Cedar Rapids Marathon was a fantastic event yesterday! Also very cool to have the GOAT @MikeJaytrackxc announcing and shouting out runners when they finished!

@lovertoblame @fluidathletics @CptBuffaloney Can I interest you in a gray boy tee? It weighs 6 pounds and will stay wrinkled for eternity. On sale today for 130 dollars

[Total Running Solution @totalrunsol]

@LSscribe It’s not just that he’s winning, but how he is winning! The 800 is one of the most tactically difficult distances to master and he is executing like a seasoned veteran. Just unreal poise and of course talent!

My Favorite Plyometric Exercises for Runners https://t.co/kSTIujo085

Plyos are excellent for resilience, strength, power, and bone density. Here are my favorites and how to do them!

[Total Running Solution @totalrunsol]

Puma MagMax Nitro 2. Another miss for me after having high hopes. I found them to be fairly unstable and unresponsive. The ride was dull and picking up the pace felt like a chore. Anyone agree/disagree?

[Total Running Solution @totalrunsol]

Topo Cyclone 3. Looking forward to trying these. I wanted something lower drop when doing short hill sprint speed development to work the kinetic chain most effectively and these were recommended to me. Anyone tried them?

Werro shocked the world with her incredible sub 1:54 performance. Here is everything that could be dug up on her training.

Note: details are sparse and the example training weeks are an estimate.
