Training to muscular failure improves running performance.

the verdict
INSUFFICIENT LEANING
Recorded sources
0 sources for · 3 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that training to muscular failure improves running performance?

Unclear. The retrieved meta-analyses address resistance training to failure versus non-failure for strength, hypertrophy, endurance and power, finding failure is not required and may even be slightly inferior for dynamic strength. None of the items measures running performance, so the claim about running performance is not directly settled.
