Thank you for posting this call with Coach Michael. If I can offer a production critique, the looped background music or its level throughout the entire video is a bit distracting from the conversation.

I can't click on the link but I'll look for it. Thank you for the video it looks interesting and well researched.

Could you explain further what "intermittent A or B skip to practise explosivity and turn over" means please?

Great information. I am doing a 1/2 marathon tuneup, just 3 weeks out from marathon. Plan to do it just a few seconds faster marathon pace. Already did four 20 mile long runs this training cycle. Last week 20 was at my goal marathon pace. it felt good, but from experience, I know the last 6 miles is where the hardship starts.

Hard run: run to my door when package man rings the doorbell. Easy run: watch videos of others running while eating an oreo popsicle on the couch.

Jeff, please consider reading the book Woman’s weight loss secrets: the unspoken truth, reading that book was the best thing I ever did

I so enjoy this channel

All fine, but clamshells are useless

This is so useful thanks ❤

Thank you

Thank you Coach! I am only 70 and love to run. I am going to try each of these👍

I think im overtrainined, tbf. Im trying now to slow down and cut out some sessions. I trained right through covid July this year. Oct I had another bad viris. Guess what trained through that. Im now with another cold this week. Im the type to chastise myself and call myself lazy.

Thank you Coach!🚀💯⚡️

this is really interesting, useful and clear: thank you

Hi i recently did my marathon at Istanbul but unfortunately i had cramp during my run and last 20 km i did wirh cramped leg ... Its been two weeks now and i still have soreness at anckle and there is pain .. please suggest should i follow the excercise you have shared in the video or any other treatment as i am unable to run due to pain

I've just started playing squash again after many years of pretty minimal exercise. Part way through playing a game that actually took little running as a focused on my movement. Squash requires lunges for optimal movement. What would be recommended to help build up so I can stop the cramping.

How much percent less do you recommend the volume should be inbetween races compared to the peak milage during the training cycle leading up to a race?

So much caffeine - is that still healthy?

Blinds - very nice way of explaining it.

He maybe the CEO but the visuals are horrific. Please just bring back the cutie*. *Are we allowed to say that in this woke world??

First

This is a great video. I think I may have gone too far losing weight after watching this. Thanks for the great content.

Weighted lunges?

Spinal engin - an interesting way of explaining it ...

Very good, sounds familiar to me. I have a marathon end of Feb and the speed work I do each Tuesday seems to bring on all sorts of issues with calves and hamstrings. I’ll put a comment in the app, hopefully I can get a similar change to my plan.

Thanks

If there's such a thing as recovery run, the only way to distinguish it would be using some kind of monitoring tool. I say this because people tell new runners to run by feel and easy runs should feel easy and conversational pace. I found that when following that advice my easy runs were anything but easy once I started using a chest strap and found my HR zones. I was well into threshold. So then following the "feel" advice for easy runs, how do we define "Recovery runs"?

I have often wondered if a recovery run, if there is really such a thing, might be better thought of less as “a run that causes you to recover” and more as “a run that you can recover in spite of” (while still providing a marginal training benefit).

Based on 3 to 4 runs per week (running alternate days only and degree of injury). WK1 - 1K walk/run (use lamp-posts or 50m gaps if not available) WK2 - repeat WK1 - still 1K (but reduce walk element - can use road breaks/junctions for walking 10-20m while running might increase to between 50-200m (be guided by how you're feeling) WK3 - 1K (no walk breaks) WK4 - 1 MILE (no walk breaks) WK5 - very gradually re-build mileage from here (10% to 15% absolute max). Depends on previous level of fitness and more importantly how bad the calf injury was.

At the risk of being called a nitpicker, at about 5:45, easy runs do not "compromise" the bulk of the runner's mileage, they "comprise" the bulk of the mileage. If they compromise that means they would limit the amount of mileage done. Sorry, I just wish we could get past the lactate gremlin at some point. Fatigue is multifactorial and lactate is so variable from day to day dependent upon numerous factors. People are out training with a heart monitor, a GPS, a continuous glucose monitor, a sweat concentration monitor, an infrared intramuscular oxygen monitor, a pulse oximeter, ear buds with music set to 180 beats a minute and their cell phone piping encouragement from an app into their earbuds, and stopping every 10 minutes to do a finger stick to check their lactate levels...

Who says they are different runs? It's the same run with but for a different purpose.

Lactic acid, produced as a byproduct during anaerobic energy production in muscles, generally disappears within about an hour after strenuous exercise. During high-effort activity, lactate can accumulate to high levels, but it is eventually used as an alternative fuel source by the muscles. Lactic acid is immediately split into lactate and hydrogen and does not remain in muscle tissue. By the next day after a hard training session, there is no "lactic acid" (no tht there ever was any) to be cleared out.

Top explainer, thanks. It's putting 'why' words behind the concepts that clarifies the intention & hence allows folks to train with precision. Context is key, for the average western lifestyle, keeping moving is the no1 challenge amongst commuting, desk work, gaming, TV... hence recovery runs make sense. Sitting is toxic. But if you're someone who already spends all day on their feet, a recovery run is presumably less constructive, BC you just need rest. Likewise if you train frequently would suggest a recovery run is one of the marginal benefits that marks out elites, since it is taking time from a regular life. And wondering what else might be a good substitute, like sports therapy massage, swimming, sauna, etc. Not being funny, winter makes a big difference. I need mojo!

Sometimes I run so slow that after an hour I’m still laying on the couch

I really don't like the way this was presented. There's basically no scientific backing to the idea that recovery runs aid recovery and that should be made clear, i.e., recovery runs haven't been validated by research, but a lot of serious runners swear by them. It's also worth pointing out, that recovery runs may just add to fatigue

How should my runs be after a calf injury? of course an easy run but I do want to bring up the intensity. I also have been seeing a physiotherapist but I am afraid of getting injured again. Any tips?

I want to gain more weight😢

Love the facial expressions 😂

Instead of a calf raise, maybe you should call it a calf lower. Very clever, aren't I?

Thank you dear😇

Thank you. Coming here after countless cramping in a 25km trail race…this makes so much sense!

canI CONTACT WITH YOU PRIVIT PLEAS

thank you

Just did my first marathon. I'm recovering by trying not to die

Pacers tend to go steady from start to finish, unless crowding hinders them in the beginning. How to combine negative split strategy, to not fade & bonk, with wanting to just latch on to the pacers tagged with my desired finish time? Am I overthinking the fear of not catching up with them in the second half?

My 2nd marathon is coming up and we’re aiming for a Personal best. Lets go!!

Week off regardless of reason always takes me 2 to 3 easier training days from the pre-week off performance.
