Hey mate. Just wondering if you’ve done any all out efforts on a treadmill, and if so, how they compare to your outdoor times? Context: I’ve got a treadmill that was calibrated 3 months ago, and I set it to a 1% incline for all my runs. I recently did a 5 km in 19:37 and a 1 k at I think 3:17. However, my outside running is absolute rubbish. If I try to keep my 5 k pace on a (cambered) bitumen road, it’s a struggle just to hold it for 1 km! Doable, but certainly not easy. I’ve only spoke to 1 or 2 other people about it, and experiences seem mixed. So I guess I was just wondering what your experience was since you seem to find outdoor running a lot easier than I do.

I'm an 18 year old biological female and the past two years there were 3 trans runners who happened to win every track meet can you advise.
@runningwithaj 26 күн бұрын
I think that the trans debate and how we move forward to an equitable system is a more nuanced debate than I can understand and comment on. My worry is that no matter how we navigate it, there will be a lot of heartache until we get it right. Other than that, I’m unsure of your question. What advice are you seeking?

Have you ever used a waist lamp for night running? I was watching a recent 100mile ultra and they were using both head lamps and waist. The waist one seems to spread the ground a lot more compared to a head spreading further ahead. You need to get the IT department to buy you a sit/stand tower for you desk. Do you think it is still a little sore from using muscles you don't usually use doing also moving the soil
@runningwithaj Ай бұрын
No I haven’t. I have always wanted to try one but haven’t done enough trail running at night to justify it. The dual lamp on my head torch does a good job of spreading light and high beam but you can carry so much more weight on your waist that i can imagine you’d get some good brightness. Definitely need the sit stand desk. Unfortunately our it department is one guy who works 3 days a week. I can’t see it happening soon. I think I’ve narrowed it down to lifting too heavy at the gym. I’m a real light weight and I have to remember that!

Fantastic video! I experienced exactly the same when training for a 70.3 Ironman, I couldn’t do speed work because my shins would blow up, so I just worked on bumping up my weekly mileage and would sprinkle in some harder runs with hills or sub threshold runs and it directly increased my 10k/half marathon times and it was all “easy long runs”

Thanks mate! It’s amazing how simple it can be once we diagnose what we need to focus on. That’s the key to a good coach in my book. Being able to get to the bottom of what the athlete really needs to improve their performance.

We have Whooping cough going through all of our schools down here. Hopefully he doesn't have that there is a lot of kids coughing down here. Have you done a sweat test to see what water and sodium replacements you need? I have been researching what I can do to help me maintain myself to achieve an ultra next year nutrition wise. I am trying to approach my runs and fitness with both pre run nutrition aswell as recovery. I definitely think it will help you feel better ❤ Your body always seems to pet you know when you are missing something or it needs assistance.

Oh man that was Term 3 for us. Between whooping cough and influenza a we had the worst attendance right across town. That’s why I took Monday off. I needed him tested. It was killing me! He’s on the mend now though. I haven’t done a sweat test yet. I still wonder about the efficacy of a sweat test considering how many different conditions we run in. You’re spot on about the body. Mine needs sleep. It’s not getting it until the end of term though so I just have to be kind. Super excited to see what you’re able to put down on the trails. Will you do the series down there?

Yeah my husband finished earlier and said he was waiting for me at the Yopro stall. I couldn’t find any stalls and asked 2 groups of volunteers at information desks. None of them knew and they both asked me to ask the other desk😂 . So after the early morning long wait, running 43km then walking randomly in the wind inside the botanic garden directionless, I eventually ended up leaving botanic garden somehow without seeing any stalls, had to cross the last km road and walked long way back to Circular Quay station. My husband went home with a lot of goodie bags and the only place inside the garden I saw was the recovery zone, as if we finished the marathon in the parallel worlds.

I had a very similar experience! I got there early and it was freezing so I decided to jog around for a bit but there was nowhere to run. I went out of the park to run on a side street but a marshal was telling people to leave and get back in the park. Pretty weird, we were all in the park with nowhere to go and nothing to do. That was strange! Then getting in the starting corral and standing for 1 hour with no toilets and no room to move was unnecessary. I really needed to pee again before I even crossed the start line (had had only 600ml of electrolyte and 500ml of water and Maurten 320). I reckon they need to fix those things next year. Also had a similar experience around 34K where my tummy felt funny and I decided to delay the intake of more gels. Definitely the right call!
@runningwithaj 2 ай бұрын
Yeah I think it's a fairly minor change, just don't put people in the pens until a few minutes before start and I would definitely get there later. I think the early load up on gels is a strategy that has worked for me. Hopefully it continues to work in the future. Thanks for watching

Last year's heat was bruuutal, especially coming off a chilly winter training season. so many medical emergencies around mrs. macquarie's chair.
