What amateur runners think the "Norwegian method" looks like before buying a lactate tester: * 3x per week of hard, long, threshold sessions at the track added to the program. What amateur runners realize the "Norwegian method" looks like after buying a lactate tester: * 3x per week your normal "easy" runs (which were actually hard runs all along - you just didn't know it!) at ~2.5-3 mmol/L * The addition of lots of actual easy training as close to 1mmol/L as you can get (likely walking initially, but it will improve over time)

I haven't done the following exercises in 15 years: 1. Bench 2. Squat 3. Clean 4. Dead lift I actually think it is ridiculous for non-competitive athletes to EVER do these exercises. Risk of injury simply too high. Much better: 1. Push ups 2. Body squats (kettlebell) 3. Turkish get up (kettlebell) 4. Single leg RDL (kettlebell) Oh and pilates > weight room.

Want to get better at running? Bike more. Seriously, if you’re a hybrid athlete or just new to running, biking is a great way to build endurance with minimal injury risk. It's also a great way to add additional aerobic volume for higher mileage runners without increasing chances of injury. Running is high impact. And most people new to running are not in good enough shape to keep running truly easy. Biking fixes that. Everyone can bike "easy." Biking is particuarly usefull for lifters just getting into running and anyone that is "heavy" (even if lean!). It's much easier to manage intensity and ensure you are getting the correct training effect.
