Should my long training runs be at race pace?
I'm training for a marathon and I'm a beginner. On my first run, my coach told me to do a run with an average pace of 8:07/km for 50 minutes. She called it an "aerobic run" but asked me to ignore my heart rate and focus on pace. What do you suspect she is doing?
Can I incorporate long endurance runs twice a week, like 15 km runs, and short runs like 5 km two times for Zone 2 cardio purposes, and still achieve hypertrophy and the benefits of brain focus from the long endurance runs?
