Very true advice. I didn’t start to see results until I slowed down, almost to a power walk. And lo and behold, I was faster after a while. It is a very cool feeling when you start to see that number per k decrease steadily.

I've been running for about a month now in my zone 2. Occasionally I have to walk to get my heart rate back down but then I try and start to run again. It's so aggravating having to walk more than run, i feel if i went any slower i would be speed walking. And my runs are usually 30 minutes or longer. So i'm hoping after a another month or two of this I will be faster 🤞

💯 ive learned through years of racing experience that my body needs atleast one 1 minute tempo effort inside of the warmup run period, and multiple longer (150-200m) strides in addition to any drills and normal strides done to actually be able to perform at my best level, which will usually take about 60 minutes before the workout even starts and is more time than most people are willing to invest

I had the great benefit of watching Colin Bradford (Jamaica, 2x Olympic Sprinter) of the Santa Monica Track Club run for six years, and now I understand why he ran so slowly. When he did run semi-fast it looked like he was floating or flying across the track. He taught me at the time to only run 60%, focus on technique and smooth running.

Another difference is that elite runners run for a living, 5-6 days a week. I don’t. I get 3 days a week in, maybe 4 if I push it. Running slow is on my schedule 1 day a week. The other 2 are high intensity/ low mileage, because that’s what realistically works for this non pro. Supplement with weight training. I’m 53 and still run sub 8 minute 1/2’s and place top 20% overall in every OCR I have been in.

But this idea of running the easy runs easy sounds great. If you compare an elite runner that runs at least 6 days a week including double runs, or some either run 7 days a week with just a rest day once in a while, then the easy runs becomes understandable, they must deload not to overtrain and recover. But amature runners doesn't run this much, many perhaps only run 3 times a week, are the easy runs really that effective for that type of runner? If you only run 3 times a week, is that time not better spent on only harder sessions then? Are the effects of the aerobic workout in zone 2 really the best way to optimise your training then?
@Bald_Gojo123
@Bald_Gojo123 6 ай бұрын
I think for 3 days a week you would be great doing a workout day (depending on whatever event you wanna do), an easy mileage day and a long run. But, you should probably spend like 80% of your time running easy. In my experience it’s the most sustainable and will give you great results

For three sessions a week you can't go wrong with one slow long run 20km+ (sometimes incorporating hills). One 10km run at 60-70% effort still aerobic. For anaerobic workouts you can do one 6km faster run which can incorporate some jogging /walking(fartlek), or gym, or track session. Do warmups for this to avoid injury and can help speed up recovery. I usually do this 12 weeks leading up to an event and although I have a few bad days during this period, on race day it all seems to come together.

Amazing video, but one Q I have about easy runs... when a pro athlete runs "easy" they are going at a natural running pace. Kipchoge is hitting 8:30 mins per mile = 5:20 mins per km on his recoveries. The problem for beginners is same level of workload means slowing things down to a shuffle... maybe 11:30 mins per mile = 7:00 mins per km. For taller runners especially, it's hard to run that pace with natural running form - any advice on this?

I run with a metronome to keep my cadence at 180 during slow runs. It's a terribly awkward feeling to get used to, almost like running in place, but the click keeps me honest. If you can't get to that high of a cadence without your HR leaving zone 2, then you know you're in the right place. Also, running slow with a high cadence is low impact and a good way to strengthen your feet with minimalist shoes; cushioned running shoes just feel like weights with such short strides.

My 2021 season PBs 5K (19:26) and 10K (40:48) it's not good range if maximal effort is about 4:00/km and slowest possible 6:10/km

To keep my heart rate low enough, I had to start at 14-15 min/mile. Yes, I can walk faster than that. But it lets my tendons and ligaments and bones strengthen without getting damaged. That really slow phase was way longer than I expected. But then I started running 11-13 min/mile at the same heart rate.

I find as my shoes wear down it happens a rate that my body can adapt to the lesser support. For the easy days I like to find a steep long hill which sounds odd but significant less impact going up is the key. Obviously go down in a way where the impact is also low, even walking down if necessary. And to control pace on the easy days if going uphill is hard to breath only inhaling/exhaling with nasal breathing then I'm going too fast. Good advice you give 👍

I guilty of not doing very well on the others, as well... but convincing myself I am. Also, I can't say resynthesis either. That's when I hit the like button, btw. I do enjoy a short mid-roll comedy break.

I ran competitively for eight years and don’t think my easy runs were ever easy enough. I think I could have avoided a few key injuries and kept from peaking too early in the season had I been allowed to run slower. We would ramp up in early August and not have a break from super hard training until mid November, all at around 1:20 above mile race pace or faster. You name it I’ve had it for injuries: shin splints, severe hip cramps to the point of needing to get driven back to school, hamstring strain (from speed work), tons of knee and back pain. For as much as some of us think we know about running, videos like this shed light on how much needs to be relearned in terms of training.

The best way to run fast: 1. Get yourself a good playlist you haven't heard in a while. Hearing a good song you haven't heard in years will bring back old memories and get your brain off of the grind of the run 2. Walk/run 5 miles or so before the run. Loosens you up (joints and other stuff, see tip 7). 3. During the 5 miles (see tip #2) drink 4 or 5 beers. Alcohol is an awesome source of instant energy and the buzz will amplify tip #1 4. Find someone you think you'll barely lose to early on. Follow them, as long as they aren't getting passed up, just follow them until you get close to the end before blowing past them. If you do it too early, you're probably gonna see them again and they will beat you. Hanging with someone has multiple benefits, you don't have to manage your own speed, you can focus on your music and daydream as the miles pass by. Before you know it, you're almost done and it's time to pour it on! 5. Don't get lost! Zoning out buzzed on some beers can make you forget where your going. Be sure to wake up in between songs to assess your location (again, following someone else eliminates this problem, see tip #4) 6. Drink a high electrolyte drink prior to the race and stop the beer 30 minutes or so before start time 7. Don't poop while running. Don't eat the morning of the race. Drinking beer and doing a jog before the run (tip #2) should shake out loose bowel movements that would've sent you running into the woods for a quick dump and a loss of time. 7b. If you have to poop, use a sock, and admit defeat. Say you got bit by a snake and go home. Today was not your day. 8. Pacing back and forth in front of the starting line, while growling, moments before the race is certainly intimidating and does work. However, doing this 30 minutes before the race and until the start time is a less effective means of intimidating your competition. You will look weird, people might say something, and you feel very shy and sheepish during the race.

Perfect tips! Know the intent of your runs before you go out to do them. Avoid chronic fatigue/stress by overrunning paces/mileage. You just dig a hole that is heading you towards injury. Acute fatigue/stress is fine, it causes those adaptations you are looking for. I've gone from a 3:45 marathoner to a 3:08 marathoner at age 61. I have a shoe rotation and would never go 400-600 miles in a shoe. You only have 2 feet. I'm a forefoot striker and you can't look at my shoes and know the midsole is worn out. Buy last years model if needed but change your shoes frequently and also vary the drops to challenge/strength the feet/lower legs. Do a lot of little things right and you will get considerably faster quick.

Can you quantitate how much easier they run on an easy day? My guess is most people “good” runners run their easy days in the 70% or faster max heart rate zone where they should be doing close to 60%. It seems intuitive that faster is better, but to your point, most of us get incomplete recovery because we think we are doing more good by working a little harder.

The real reason elite athletes are fast is because of their genes. The reason I personally can run a 10km in 32:54 after only 1 year of training is because I have genetically a relatively high VO2max and a suitable metabolism, NOT because I train especially smart or hard in comparison with a friend of mine who has the same BMI but runs after the same amount of time and training a 39:34 (same training quality, quantity and consistency) It‘s pure rubish to sell marginal gain stuff as the main key to an elite level performance. All the basics (lots of volume, intensity distribution of HIT/LIT 90/10 to 80/20) and enough recovery for consistency will enable to discover 98-99% of your potential. There is nothing more to talk about, sorry KZbinrs. Period.

I just don't have enough time to do that many miles each week so even though I may be able to maintain a 6:30 pace for a few miles, I'll still run at a 7:30 or so pace for 1-3 mile runs most of the time which will still get me a good sweat but not really out of breath however I still feel trained afterwards. I could simply jog at a 9 minute mile pace but that just feels like a huge waste of time. Is this video implying that it is good to simply go on jogs? Does this mean that pro runners will often train at 50%?

If you only do a few miles per week it will be ineffective to do them easy. In that case, do them hard if you´re body can handle it. But if you do >3 sessions per week running all of them hard will not get you there. The tips in the video is aimed at people doing many sessions per week, and many days double runs.

Try heart rate training instead but do not use 220-age as your max heart rate to set up your heart rate zones because it is very likely to be wrong. You need to figure out your threshold heart rate and use this to set up your heart rate zones. Elite runners always have pro coaches and this is the system that has been used for decades. It is the core of periodised training. Every runner should use this system. MAF is alright for the complete beginner for a few weeks but after that it serves no purpose and will not help you progress very far and you will definitely not get faster with this approach.

I strongly disagree with heart rate training. There are too many factors to manage when using heart rate. Train doing ONLY easy recovery runs until you’re able to comfortably and without pain run for your entire easy run. Then, add workouts 1-2 times per week based on effort(I recommend doing 1k repeats at 10k-half marathon race effort). After doing this once or twice, average out your pace and consider that your “tempo” pace. Do a few weeks of 1-2 workout days at tempo pace and every other day easy. Then, add a long run that equals about 30% of your weekly mileage. Train regularly with your long run on Saturday with Sunday as a rest day until you can run your entire long run without stopping. From that point forward raise your easy run mileage, workout pace, and long run mileage evenly without raising effort until you’re at the MPW you want. At that point you can mix and match workout paces accordingly, but I wouldn’t recommend going faster than 5k race pace unless you’re within 8 weeks of a goal race. It typically takes 8 weeks to peak for a race less than 5k. You don’t want to do that too early. This is roughly the training I do. Qualifications: 15:29 5K, 1:58 800m(goal 1:52-3 this year), 4:33 mile(goal 4:12-13 this year). Not bragging, just proving I know a little bit of what I’m talking about lol. Good luck with running man!

@@tylerstogsdill Heart rate training by itself is not the best approach, I agree. But as part of a well structured training plan, which includes speed work of various types , tracking heart rate for the easy runs is really the way to go. It was for me and is for beginning competitive runners. I use heart rate to make sure I don't run my easy runs too fast. An "easy' trap to fall into especially for the beginning runner. For almost 3 decades ( I am an old codger) I have run my easy runs too fast because I had no HR monitor and I thought that I had run like a sprinter in every run for any duration. While it is true that there are many variables that affect heart rate, health status, heat, cold, fatigue, terrain, they are signals to adjust one's workout on that day or maybe even take a rest day. I will say that HR training should not be dismissed on those factors alone, if anything, they support the importance of HR training as an adjunct to becoming a faster, more efficient and less injury prone runner. Run on!

This is true but elites also commonly run 6-7 days per week often with double day runs. Most rec runners do not run 6-7 days a week so they have full rest days in their schedule which makes it less risky to run their easier days a bit quicker.

They're trying. The primary issue is that young bros making E5 in 2 years are being put in charge of PT. Barely any warm up needed for the 18 to 25 year olds. So they just take off and then do it daily. The good news is the Army is starting to pay physio docs to supervise and plan PT programs. It's Mon/Wed/Fri primarily on my infantry dominant base and they let them walk rather than forcing them to run every workout. Need to ruck more to build up the bone mass and ligaments/tendons IMO
