Alright, so there's a lot I could say here, but running is really about building a consistent training plan and progressive overload. What you're trying to do is slowly build up mileage each week by about 10% which will increase your fitness. As your fitness increases, you can benchmark it every 1-2 weeks by running a 3 mile time trial. There's also other workouts you can do like mile intervals or something along those lines that will start to adapt your body to the pace. So this would be something like 3-4x1 mile at goal 3 mile pace with 2 minute standing rest in between.

@ What do you eat before a morning run? Would you highly recommend that supplement powder you take? Running on a treadmill alright? Tips for breathing? In nose out mouth ideal? Tips for getting rid of stitches in your side? Swear by stretching / warming up / cool down? Do you run 7 days a week? Thanks in advance. You’re a beast

@@MikeOxaflahpin good place to start for fuel would be a banana or some peanut butter toast. I also drink coffee before most runs for the caffeine boost. G1M sport is a good way to fill up glycogen stores and get some electrolytes, but it can also be done by eating a banana and sprinkling some pink salt on your dinner the night before. For breathing, I’m a big mouth breather. I can hardly breathe at all through my nose because I have a deviated septum, so mouth is really the only option. Try to control your breathing and more specifically control your exhales. This will drop your heart rate down. Side stitches are usually a sign of poor hydration or poor fueling. Avoid heavier foods before you run and try to make sure you’re consuming enough water before. If you’re doing a hard session, do a longer warmup with some form drills and tempo work beforehand to get the body ready. If you’re running easy, just rawdog it. I run 6 days a week and find I can build fitness well. I think there was a study that showed the difference in outcome of runners that run 6 days vs those that run 7 is practically undetectable if you’re training at the right intensity. But as those days decrease per week past 6, your potential exponentially decreases as well

@@TheBrockKelly Appreciate you. Just subbed 👍

@@cartersalinas19 usually the Sony A7III

He ran a pace of 10.92 miles per hour

@PraveenSrJ01 yeah I know it's insane. I'll work hard and one day I'll get there

@@bowman-v1q best of luck 🤞 on your journey

@@PraveenSrJ01 Thanks mate 🙏🏼

It takes me a full 11 minutes to run 🏃 a mile and my heart ❤️ rate goes up 🆙 exponentially

So it varies from person to person. In my personal experience, when I started running about 12 years ago, I didn’t look at heart rate and didn’t even have a way to look at heart rate. I would just go out and run without thinking about it. A couple years into my running journey, I started doing 2-3 workouts per week and my fitness increased exponentially and I was able to make huge strides. By running a few higher intensity days each week, my heart rate on my easy days dropped a good bit and I was able to build fitness that way. So I’d recommend you start incorporating some more interval workouts into your training to bump up your fitness and bring your pace down on those easy days into a good zone. Also when you’re running hard on workout days, your body will be forced to run the right effort the next day when you’re doing an easy/recovery run. Some examples of workouts you could try are 3x1 mile repeats with 90 second rest between each and a 1 mile warmup and 1 mile cooldown. Another one you could do are “Yasso 800s” which is where you do 800 meters on at a fast pace and 800 meters off a slower pace. You can do this for 3 miles straight. You could also try to do tempo runs where you’re doing a 1 mile warmup, 2-3 miles at tempo pace, and a 1 mile cooldown. All these workouts will give you bumps in fitness. I’d suggest you don’t worry too much about being in the right zone as you worry about listening to your body. If your body is telling you to run slower, run slower. If it’s telling you to run faster, run faster. Hope this helps!

@@TheBrockKelly WOW! brock, you are simply the best!!! wasn’t sure if I’d get a response, thank you so much for not only taking the time but also giving such an in-depth answer. this is so helpful, i’ve been struggling to find the right advice and this is exactly what I needed to hear. I love the idea of just listening to your body and just doing what’s best in the moment. it’s also nice to hear you didn’t always worry about heart rate. I’m definitely going to implement these workouts! thanks for giving some examples too that I can use!!! So excited to see what you do next, good luck this season!

Good luck running 🏃‍♀️ 100 miles. It will take about 20 some hours

@@danielmedrano1762 25g of coffee and 360g of water: 60 gram bloom for the first pour and then 3 100g pours. Let the coffee go all the way through with each pour.

Yeah 👍🏾

@@thomascroshaw3711 love to hear that! That’s how it always goes. Some things work for you and others don’t. My old coach used to always make us take Meyer’s Briggs tests before the season so he could coach us based on our predispositions. Just goes to prove that everyone is different and responds to training and philosophies in different ways.

It is a really good 👍🏾 video

That's honestly one of the best pieces of running advice I've ever heard. I sometimes forget to apply it, and then I remember it and can save a workout that's going south so quickly. I think I heard it from Brian Barazza. He's got some real running wisdom that he's picked up over the years

Same here. I’ll close my eyes for a sec, and go mentally through my feet, legs, lungs, etc and realize that none of them really hurt. Gives me some extra juice to keep pushing

Oh yeah!

Are you in his KZbin video

That phrase has saved me in so many workouts

what exactly do you mean

Oh yeah! This is definitely a real thing. If you can feel smooth, you'll be smooth. That's the trick

Agreed! That feeling is the reason you're there and sometimes it's easy to forget that in the heat of the moment.

A lot of it comes down to focusing on the right things and having the right mindset going into the workout. If you can answer the question of where you're trying to go and what you're trying to achieve while in the depths of a challenging workout, you will be able to fight through it better. Set those tangible goals and keep those in mind when things get hard in a training session.

Thank you man 🤘🏽

Thank you 🙏🏼

Appreciate this!

Thanks Rubis! Glad you enjoyed it. More to come. Have a happy holiday season and a Merry Christmas!

Hahaha, yeah man. Fall is rare here

That’s a great way to put it! Hope you have a happy holiday as well!

Thank you! 🤘🏽🚀⚡️

Love to hear it! Hope you get it!
