One of the hardest concepts for an athlete to understand and implement is base training. It is counterintuitive to run or bike slowly in order to gain performance later in the season.It is also very difficult to take a step back from the intense training you were doing a few weeks ago, and bring the speed and pace way down. But if you have the discipline to train aerobically for a period of time, when everyone else is still hammering away, it will pay you dividends down the road.

Better Running Economy: By maximizing your stride length due to strength increases, your push off step will become more powerful sending you further with each stride.
-
Specificity: Weight training to improve strength for a specific activity should involve exercises that are as close as possible to the desired movements of that activity.
-
During weight training, you should maintain a posture as similar to proper running posture as possible.
