Science-Based Running Tips

Preparing for a running race is not simply a matter of accumulating kilometers.

At Sports Excellence *, we believe that effective training is grounded in scientific evidence and fundamental training principles, such as progressive overload, periodization, and—most importantly—the individualization of training according to each runner’s level and development.

With the aim of supporting runners in their preparation, the scientific team of Sports Excellence is launching the new article series Running to Excellence, a dedicated section focused on running and performance improvement.
