If you don't want a nuanced discussion about subjective stuff, this channel probably isn't for you. Google AI however will give you a 5 second answer if that's what you want, youtube may not be the best medium for your needs.

@Solpri I'm joking I'm a professional troll

@MrNadav1995 endurance tends to peak in your 30s, but not necessarily raw speed. So there's usually a balance between the years it takes to build up solid endurance while maintaining peak raw speed before it begins to decline. Which is why you often see mid 30s athletes dominate at ultra distances or Ironman length in triathlon.

@@Solpri surely the opposite no? fastest runners are definitely younger 20s. But I also think its correlation because there arent many young athletes dedicating themselves to marathons compared to shorter distances.

@MrNadav1995 The opposite would be raw speed peaking in mid 30s while endurance peaking early 20s which I just don't think the data pans that out. It could be correlation, but I stand by my comment. It takes a long time to adapt to longer distances and being able to sustain them without injury. Tendons and ligaments are more the limiter here as they can take 3x or more as much time to adapt to a new load level as muscles which is one reason why you see people get injured when stacking on mileage too quickly. So for the long long stuff I'd say it just is a function of time which mostly can't be overcome by the overwhelming majority of people. 5ks... probably a little more squishy in terms of correlation. You have a much bigger field of young people (collegiate athletes) competing at the distance and life gets in the way as people are getting older so you have a lot of them leave where maybe if they spent another 10 years at the discipline they'd hit new peaks, but most people have no incentive to do that.

@@Solpri But again how come the best sprinters and long distance runners (up to 10k) all world records at were set by athletes in their early 20s? Plus if raw speed was to improve with time then usain bolt would have been even faster now.

@MrNadav1995 I think there's a miscommunication with my initial reply. I'm literally saying endurance gets better with time into your mid 30s and speed often doesn't. Meaning raw speed starts declining usually by mid to late 20s so that's why you see the shorter stuff's record usually set by 20 somethings. Raw power peaks in your 20s, endurance if worked on will peak mid 30s, records typically get set at the short stuff where the individuals personal fitness intersects at the best time for both in their life which is often mid to late 20s.

Sorry to say that generalized training plans aren't really my thing. If you aren't running at all currently - per the video I don't really advocate for jumping into a marathon under such short notice. If you've been running for a while and can do the half comfortably, it's possible that you could make it through the full without increasing mileage a ton as long as you are good with a run/walk type strategy AND fuel properly. Hard to say without digging down into more specifics with you though.

Definitely not a gimmick. Depends on how much you're training if you want to get any, but if you're doing regular mileage I'd highly recommend it. Running shoes are built differently for different people so it's not a monolith, but you can search the channel for my running shoe recommendation videos. I fit shoes for runners, regular people and people with medical conditions full time for several years.

@rfrantzt spoiler: there's no magic time. I talk a lot because it depends on you and your situation so I try to cover a wide range of scenarios in the videos.

I don't have personal examples of your exact situation, but a few anecdotes. I had a couple years "off" (was running 3 days a week, but couldn't do anything more than long run pace) because of a long term injury recovery. I'm back to consistent training and picking up speed again to be competitive in my age group at local stuff. I'm currently 35. Speedwise I'm currently about my best high school speed and about 30 pounds heavier than I was at that time. About 15 pounds heavier than my fastest speeds during college. At the other end of the spectrum, my father, who had never run long distance in his life, I got in to running in his late 60's. He often was competitive or winning his age group after a bit of training, into his 70's before a knee injury he never decided to get looked at had him step away from running. I can't tell you for sure what you'll do because "it depends" as always, but being patient and consistent to build your aerobic fitness back up will likely bring you more speed gains than you might imagine before you start doing any kind of speedwork.

@@Solpri thank you so much for taking the time to respond. This is more helpful than you know.

@JMBiscuits It was a great interview and book. And I was excited to see David just recently setting the new Leadville 100 course record. Walking the walk, or running the run as it were.

how about is your result now?, please let me know

@@aunghtet5899 sorry for the delayed replay.. So i run the first 2 weeks and jumped 5-6days a week, and i measured myself and apparently I'm 5'8''(173) with a height measuring machine.. so maybe there was error the first time i measure myself coz i used a ruler😂 so i didnt run the last two weeks coz i had exam but i'll re-start running/sprinting+ jumping starting from tomorrow. also 7-8 hrs of sleep and eating nutrition dense food especially zinc and proteins.

@@aunghtet5899 j

any update?
