80/20 Training to Race Faster, with Dr. Stephen Seiler | Extramilest Show #50

Stephen Seiler PhD is a well known Exercise Physiologist, located in Norway. He studied the training habits of many world class endurance athletes and discovered the 80/20 Rule that also applies to endurance training. Meaning performing 80% of your workouts at a low intensity and 20% at a higher intensity. This polarized approach, is now widely accepted by coaches and athletes around the world.
