A quasi-experimental design was used for this study. Student athletes were separated into two training groups for the twelve week study. Seven races of 3.1 miles each were run during the period of the study to gauge the effectiveness of each training method as measured by student-athlete’s race times. The results of the study revealed no significant difference in race time improvement between the student-athlete’s who trained with the lower mileage, higher intensity method compared to the student-athlete’s who trained with the higher mileage, lower intensity method.29 p.en-USCollection may be protected under Title 17 of the U.S. Copyright Law.
