Base training (also called the introductory or foundational training period) is the first phase of a training cycle. It’s what prepares runners for the more challenging, race-specific workouts that come later.

There are many goals for the base training phase of a training plan:

* Increase endurance – or a runner’s aerobic capacity
* Begin training the central nervous system (so the communication pathways between your brain and muscles are efficient)
* Improve muscular strength to prevent injuries and smooth the transition to challenging workouts

The base training workouts described in this video will help you plan a more robust base phase of training.
