Whether you are doing a sprint or long distance triathlon, increasing your mileage and including a long run in your training program can be very beneficial. This strengthens your heart and muscles, improves your efficiency and endurance alongside training your body to burn fat instead of glycogen! Long runs and increased mileage also strengthen you mentally, giving you confidence that you can complete the miles on race day.

Things to think about when increasing your running distance include:
- Increase the distance gradually
- Think about pacing - don't go too fast too soon
- Focus on your event
- Ensure you have suitable footwear

Good luck on increasing your run mileage and if you like this video give it a thumbs up 👍
