Description: Demonstrates the training required for distance running by focusing on athletes running on a variety of terrains at varying speeds. Shows aerobic running--training to use more oxygen by running steadily but maintaining a pace which does not create an oxygen deficit and rapid fatigue; interval running--fast runs linked with periods of short partial recovery to develop endurance; and techniques for training athletes to measure and control their pace. Opens and concludes with a 3000 meter race featuring world-class middle distance runners.
