Get to know more about ‘Long Slow Distance’ training

An absolute cornerstone of endurance training is basic endurance training, i.e., long, easy aerobic runs. In English, this type of training is called ‘long slow distance.’ As the name suggests, the aim of the exercise is to do a long workout at a slow pace. For long-distance skiers, this can mean training sessions lasting up to five hours or more.

Ernst van Aaken, a German doctor and coach, is widely recognized as the founder of the 'Long Slow Distance' training method. In 1969, Joe Henderson, an American runner and coach and former editor of Runner's World magazine, promoted the method as a training method for running. World-renowned running coach Arthur Lydiard incorporated 'long slow training' as a basic principle and was the father of the original idea, encouraging people to run slowly enough to have a conversation in the middle of a workout.
