When it comes to executing workouts, understanding aspects like pace, distance, and duration might already be at the top of your mind. But how much thought have you given to the importance of the rest intervals in your workouts? Can you distinguish between what you need for something like a neuromuscular-based workout versus the rest you need for threshold intervals?
Come to think of it, you might have other questions too. Like on those days where things aren’t clicking, does it make sense to stop a workout? And if so, when is it prudent to move it to the next day?
Well, this is another episode of Run To The Top with RunnersConnect coaches Dylan Belles and Ruari Moynihan discussing the appropriate rest intervals and rest paces associated with 5 paces and intensities and the questions of when you should stop a workout and if and when you should consider moving these workouts to another day.
Tune in to hear their discussion.

Brian McMahon, runner and Chief Strategy Officer at deltaG - a company that makes exogenous ketones - joins Run To The Top to talk about what ketones are, the difference between options out there on the market for runners (particularly, the difference between ketone “esters” and “salts”), their benefits for running performance, recovery, and even day to day life, recommended programs for usage, and much more.
If you’re curious to learn more about ways that you can sustainably and optimally fuel your body during prolonged exercise and tough training blocks, this episode is for you.
In addition to the science of ketones, Brian and I do a deep dive into the history of its development and usage in military and endurance sports environments, and talk a bit as well about what the next few years could look like for its adoption in the running community.
