I really like the Mile-Cutdown workout! Alternating pace in workouts is probably the second secret to run faster right after threshold workouts! My Tip if you're doing workouts e.g. 6x1km - Try to run 5 sec. slower than RP for the first 4 reps, and for the last 2 reps a little bit faster than RP. This will improve yur stamina and to run faster on fatigue legs (simulating a "sprint finish"). I'm training like this and usually my last 1-2 km in 5k or 10k races are the fastes one. Great Video!

I loved the Kenya vlogs, good luck with your upcoming races!

Love your channel and content! I'm just back to running this past year after a 38 year break! Was a 15:30 5K runner at 19. Now I'm 58 and ran my first 5K in 38 years last Spring. It was a shocking 26:00! I had no idea that was where I was at. By the Fall I had gotten it down to 22:00. I try to run 3 to 4 times per week and usually run 3-4-5 miles per run. I'm in a hilly area, so that's helpful. I'm also doing one interval workout per week. I've been hovering at the 22:00 mark a while. I been really having to deal with calf strains! My goal for this year is to get down to 21:00. My brain is getting adjusted to saying that! I knew time and 30 lbs took its toll, but I had no idea I'd be ecstatic to run a 7:00 pace!

Same here, I ran 15:11 at 21 and hit the breaks for 30 years. From 50 to 53 I ran 19:11 with very low mileage about 22 miler per week. In other words increase your mileage gradually and one day of the week has to be a long run about 7 to 9 miles. Best of luck.

[@Mrkientube]

Per your remarks, your time in the 5k 22:00 - try to run your easy jogs at 9:15 mile pace. DO NOT go faster than 9:15 per mile pace on your easy runs, do this for FOUR WEEKS Every 4 to 5 weeks lower your mile pace by 10 seconds (EASY JOGS). Very important to GRADUALLY increase your weekly mileage.

[@mjhrpgiv]

@@Mrkientube well here I am with another year of running under my belt. I'm averaging 35 mpw. I do 2 workout days, 1 long run and fill in the rest with short slow runs. I typically run 6 days per week. Last year I finally got down to 20:55 at the end of the year. I thought this year would be a breakout, but I'm not that much faster. Just more consistent. I'm usually between 20:40 - 21:15, depending on how hilly. For running much more consistently, twice the number of days and miles ... I thought I'd be faster!

Do I alternate between these 3 workouts weekly? Or do I pick one and stick with it

[@therunophil]

@@erik4177 that really depends on your fitness level and training plan. You need to balance volume, intensity and frequency to avoid injury. Any new stress should build up gradually to avoid overloading tissues. For example the stride pattern will ofter be more towards the forefoot when sprinting, doing too much speedwork after a long run focused marathon (prep) got me bady injured a while ago. The body gets used to stresses , so training plans often focus on certain aspects for a few weeks (interrupted by recovery weeks) and then shift to a new stress to keep improving. As an absolute beginner you may not want to do any high intensity speedwork yet (couch to 5k plans), as a intermediate you could do one per week and shift every month while an advanced runner in the middle of an intense training plan would do multiple per week.

Hi ben! How do you vary your training when comparing winter to summer?

[@metcalfacres2401]

I would add one minor adjustment. Regardless of speed/experience the recovery period (interval) should be active (jogging) for the majority of time. This will allow your body to “learn” to reduce oxygen debt while running. You also could slightly increase the recovery time (active time = recovery time) to make it a threshold workout. (JTM Elite Distance Runner)

@@alex-dk2rj great question! In the case of the shorter reps, we would typically jog out and back in roughly the interval time because there may not be enough rest time to get to the next 200 m mark or complete a full lap. I also like 5-10 sec of margin to walk up to the start line or stretch out as well. So if your doing 70s quarters maybe active jog 60s. The point is not to walk a lot between sets.
