Running
Learn what tempo runs are, why they work, and how to pace them correctly. A complete guide to threshold training for runners of all abilities.
You've signed up, laced up, and you're training hard. But then your running group starts throwing around words like "bonking", "BQ", "fartlek", and "negative split" — and you nod along hoping no one asks you to explain them.
If you're about to push into threshold territory, underfuelling isn't just inefficient – it's actively working against your training adaptations.
Trail and adventure running demands more from your fuelling strategy. You're out longer, the terrain is unpredictable, and access to aid stations is often limited. Getting your carbohydrates, fluids and sodium right isn't just about performance — it's essential for safety and for actually enjoying the miles.
