Question 1

Does this plan allow me to prepare for a long distance?

Accepted Answer

Developing your endurance is essential to prepare for long-distance, but if you already have a specific race goal, it is more interesting for you to start directly with the plan suited to the distance.

Question 2

What types of workouts are in this endurance plan?

Accepted Answer

Easy endurance runs, progressively longer long runs, and plenty of anaerobic threshold work to boost your resistance!

Question 3

Can I track a running workout without a GPS watch?

Accepted Answer

✅ Yes, with the Campus app, no need for a GPS watch to track your running workout.
The running activity tracker allows you to:
Track the distance covered in real-time

Know your instantaneous pace

Receive vocal or vibration alerts with each pace or phase change

Precisely visualize your effort and recovery intervals

Track specific indicators such as terrain type or pace variations (e.g., trail)

📱 All you need is your smartphone in your pocket to benefit from complete and precise tracking, without a GPS watch.

Question 5

Should I work on my endurance even if I'm preparing for short distances?

Accepted Answer

Yes, better endurance will allow you to maintain high intensity for longer, which is very important for both short and long distances!

Question 6

Can you improve your endurance by walking?

Accepted Answer

Yes, especially for a beginner. Fast walking already builds the cardiovascular foundations. The transition to running happens naturally by alternating walking and running.

Question 7

What is easy endurance and how do you develop it?

Accepted Answer

Easy endurance corresponds to a slow pace (in min/km) that lets you hold a conversation easily. It is said that you should stay in a zone below 75% of your maximum heart rate (MHR). It’s at this pace that you will build a good base for your endurance.

Question 8

Why does running slowly improve endurance?

Accepted Answer

Running slowly means:
developing your aerobic system

improving your capillarization (development of the network of blood capillaries around your muscle fibers) for better oxygenation, energy efficiency, and waste removal.

Working on your running economy

It’s a bit like laying the foundations of a house: without that, everything else falls apart.

Question 9

How can you tell if you’re running at the right pace to build endurance?

Accepted Answer

It's very simple: you should be able to hold a conversation without major breathlessness. In other words, you should not have to cut yourself off in the middle of a sentence to catch your breath abnormally.
