7 INCREDIBLY Simple Ways To BOSS Your Long Run

[@rhinopaul]

I am loving my long runs when using the maffetone method. It forces me to take short walk breaks due to the low heart rate for me being 130. Also I work out the distance on the map before hand so if I want to run say 24km I will simply keep running to 12km mark and that way know I have no choice but to run back home and therefor complete my kms.

I do love my long runs also 👍🏼

Thank you Lindsey, Shona, and Devlin! The Coach Parry videos are simply fantastic! I'm so grateful for each of you.

I ran a 20 miler with 9 min run 1 min walk break & I agree I lost little time but kept feeling good mentally & physically

[@BoardRoomGamer]

This video is amazing! I’ve got a 20 miler this Saturday - I’ll be sure to let ya know how that went using these methods 😎

[@sumanthramoodley1161]

Thanks again for your videos. Always so helpful. I implemented the run/walk (9/1) method with Weskus Marathon and it worked quite well. Did my best time for this race by doing this. I also did it with a previous long run and I was able to keep my pace and felt good at the end of my long run ( 30km)

[@robertkellam1476]

been training for 100 miler for a while now. I incorporate brisk walking into my long runs to save energy and keep my HR low.

Good content that keeps me coming back.

What you said about planning the route, makes a whole lot of sense. I usually keep my bottle and gels in the car and run a few big loops, but yeah it gets boring after a while

[@noel8552]

Brisk walk is better than stopping completely for short breaks? (30ssc)

[@Kelly_Ben]

This was full of great info, thanks!

There were a few occasion where I dreaded the long run before but never during a long run. Even the 20mi long run before my last marathon was mostly fine even though my pace dipped roughly about 8% at the last 40min. My biggest problem at the moment is that I have to start the long run so early in the morning to avoid the heat (sunny SoCal) leaving me with little time to have a breakfast ahead.

[@PoetWithPace]

I used to have same problem Andy with no time for breakfast of going early. What I found, is I could have a light breakfast, two slices of toast and tea and that would be fine of running slow as a long run should be. Make sense?

Pacing myself by only breathing through my nose during my long runs. 45 yr old beginner here.

[@PoetWithPace]

I wonder how many have watched this and still keep running too fast? 🤔

[@elzuzo]

I´m 56 and my question is how often should I do walk breaks in a 15 mile long run?

[@Cookefan59]

I’m no coach but from what I’ve seen on this channel that is all going to depend on what you’re using to gauge your exertion. Power, heart rate, perceived exertion, cadence. Any of these can be used to determine when to take walk breaks. Hope that helps!

[@Veroweithofer]

I’m 53 and the oldest in my running group. We do walk run for the long runs. So far it seems my body is fitter than the young ones. Never had to quit ( knock on wood) . Every body is different.

[@elzuzo]

@@Cookefan59 Great, thanks a lot!

[@kevinhaskins6619]

I love my long-run days. It is the highlight of my week but I often run it too hard. I struggle with just making it "fun" vs. being true to my training. Fun typically wins.

[@PoetWithPace]

Me too 🥳

[@jm33855]

It’s interesting in their marathon plans how they do not run many 20 milers

[@regularguy3202]

Ahh! Back in the 80s when I could hammer a 55 min 10 miler then do mile repeats the next day!
