The same concerns sport and physical activity, I bilieve, as long as you get motivation from what you do, it does you only good. - polly Wed, 15 Apr 2009 20:59:58 +0100 http://www.felog.net/cms/index.php/home/37-training/229-slow-and-steady#comment-36 More intensity will increase the risk of injury, at the same time overuse will also increase the risk of injury. Bottom line, start off slow to build a solid base, and incorporate speed appropriately, practice recovery, and listen to your body. - Matt Getting Fri, 06 Mar 2009 05:59:42 +0100 http://www.felog.net/cms/index.php/home/37-training/229-slow-and-steady#comment-35 What I am saying is that they aren't a necessity but they will provide performance gains. That said, with the increase of speed work comes the increase chance of injury. Running injuries don't necessarily show up the moment they happen. The bottom line is that I've never hurt myself running slow. - Vince Fri, 06 Mar 2009 02:08:30 +0100 http://www.felog.net/cms/index.php/home/37-training/229-slow-and-steady#comment-33 despite the belief that speed workouts are a necessity, the more beneficial aspect to training is to just keeping yourself running. It's unfortunate for me though...I haven't actually hurt myself while doing a speed workout (aside from my foot when I did the hills early on). An injury has only come about during normal or LSD runs. - Steve Patak Thu, 05 Mar 2009 23:35:27 +0100 http://www.felog.net/cms/index.php/home/37-training/229-slow-and-steady#comment-32 Great article - sometimes the most obvious thing is the hardest for us to see. - Matt Getting Wed, 04 Mar 2009 23:26:40 +0100
