Long Slow Distance
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Long slow distance is a phrase commonly used to describe a training method for running or cycling, sometimes called LSD. It originated from a book of the same name written by runner Joe Henderson written in 1969.
Long Slow Distance is exactly what it sounds like. A typical 5k runner might consider 8 to 10 miles LSD, while a marathoner might run 20 or more miles.
