6:15 Not exactly wrong item you picked Heather, but try the kettlebell on the left. Learn "classic" swings, activate core, glutes and hamstrings. Expand ranges of motion, stretch hamstring, shed sweat, and get "cardio" too. Get personally better with personal bests.

Drills can actually be included in a long run. I find that doing a few ~midway in my long runs (or whenever I start feeling tired) helps. Switching movement types from the repetitivness of a long run feels good and can help me remember what proper mechanic should feel like when my form starts to break down a bit. And it doesn't really require more running time or dedicated session. It can just be added in directly.

@@gtn Perhaps you've already done this, but maybe something about comparing running and biking, indoor rowing or the elliptical for instance. For example: is 30 min easy running equal doing 30 min easy on the bike, or is it more like 60 min on the bike to get the same benefit? Just comparison in general.

For conditioning, I think it's most beneficial to work on hamstring and glute exercises, and ensure you stretch your hip flexors. This will give a stronger kick back and longer stride length in a safer way than extending forward and potentially heel striking.

training for ultramarathon. Focus on getting stronger, increasing volume and running up hills. The mental component is also very important. Chrissie wellington in her book emphasizes the importance of preparing your mind for long endurance.

@frankchan5547 Жыл бұрын
Add volume by 10% a week and for no more than 3 to 4 weeks with volume remaining same for 2 weeks in a row is a good guide. Increasing stride length without stretching and strength and technique training, is a recipe for injury for most runners, as hamstring injuries are caused by overstriding. Speed is best gained from faster leg turnover or cadence around 90 rpm same as bike for most runners who don't have a coach to show them their optimum stride length. Think of gliding, running on eggshells, not making sound as foot hits pavement, foot glancing ground rather than resting, landing not on heels but more on middle of foot for most people. Have fun

@thepsychologist8159 Жыл бұрын
In my own personal experience, the timeline is almost immediately especially when introducing hill reps. I'm half-way into my new runnings season and I've just re-introduced hill reps last week. I did a 14km race-pace run last week. A week later (yesterday) I improved my time by 1 minute and 9 seconds.

@@dakilamoty Also another small tip (if you're not already doing this). Squats. Do squats every day. They are hugely beneficial. I do 80 squats in a row, then 50 side single leg raises (I had to work up to this, I couldn't do this many to start with). You will notice the difference in running speed and quicker times.

I'd like to see some tips for running fast, say under 4:00 Min / Km. At this pace my cadence I think it's too high, 190 spm. At 3:15 Min / Km it's over 205 spm. I don't think this is right so I'm trying to lengthen my stride by kicking further back, if that makes sense. But I'm unsure about proper technique. I'm really close to doing 5 Km at 4:00 Min / Km, if I want to go even faster, the same technique that I use on a half marathon is not going to help 😀 .

Hill reps. Absolutely 100%. Once you've established your aerobic base, the biggest gains will be made when you introduce hill reps. Gain strength and speed at the same time and, minimise injury risk (compared to doing speed work on a flat track).
