Just wanted to point out that 1hour 20 minutes is not the same as 120 minutes, 120 minutes=2 hours. But thank you for the video, I loved it!!

I'm running my first half marathon this weekend, the Rock 'n' Roll Las Vegas.

Damn I was searching for HM tips and you just uploaded! Thanks mate :)

New Mottivator here, I've always enjoyed your videos, but joining Mottiv is taking my training to the next level - and I've only just started with it. Excellent video on running - kudos!

[@Dwarfboy666]

Excellent! THIS is why most people start to watch you. Good, simple & methodic Thanks Taren 👍

[@mostafatabaa6982]

Best video ever. It is very informative and encouraged. I am thinking to setup for a half marathon in April. Thank you so much.

[@jlucyb84]

Thank you so much for your content. You answered so many of my questions, and more in just this video.

Hi Taren! I’ve been watching many of your videos for a while but this One is one of the best videos I’ve seen about running. Amazing! And then app and the calculators. Great job.

I noticed that the jumping up and down is done with Hokas. Maybe not the most consistent message. (I have everything from Xero minimal shoes to Hoka, with a stop at Altra.)

[@irinixrisanthou170]

Please tell about Altra (icant even walk in it) what you think!!! and difference to Hoka !! thanks

[@darrylbrashier3665]

@@irinixrisanthou170, I've had a couple pairs. I am comfortable in zero-drop shoes, so that may be an issue for you. That's the biggest difference I know between the two brands. Hokas are great if you like squishy, which I do for really long runs (I'm 70 years old and weigh 270#, so I feel the pounding if I go over 10 miles). Basically, I can go up to a 5K in the Xeros (and some other brands I've had). I can't wear the ones with toes because my foot shape just doesn't work (too many years in cowboy boots as a youngster). I have Xeros and Altras in trail shoes, but it depends on the traction versus the terrain. I started logging a lot of miles 11 years ago, starting by walking in minimals and building distance and speed. I've also done a lot of work stretching and manipulating my feet and tendons.

@@darrylbrashier3665 thanks for the details! I m running Saucony many years, thought to make a change to zero drop last month !! probably need to spend some time in Altras,, and buy Hoka s as well !! those Xeros ....i ve never heard of !!! I'm Triathlete since 2016 !! many expenses 😄😄

[@darrylbrashier3665]

@@irinixrisanthou170, I tried a pair of the Saucony a few years back, but the drop was just too much for my feet. I have trail shoes and sandals and road shoes from Xero (they're based out of Utah, I believe), so I guess I'm committed to them. I like the Colorado sandals because they're mostly enclosed (less sand getting stuck and less kicking things with an exposed toe), the Aqua X Sport, and the Mesa. All of them are easy on your foot and last a long time. They really are minimal, with only a few centimeters of sole and a little bit of tread. I usually wear them with socks for just a bit more cushioning, but they're wearable without, too. The soles have a 5,000-mile guarantee. I am wearing a pair right now. Good luck in finding your best shoe! Oh, and REI has some models available if you have one of those near you.

Great video! A lot of awesome info…

[@chenyixiang690]

Should one go for this plan even though he can’t sleep 7-8 hours every night?

[@Dwarfboy666]

YES - I did 😑 You really have to "force" yourself to find the time to sleep. I found that setting an alarm on my phone for BEDtime really helped to remind me. ..otherwise I was spending far too much time watching KZbin videos like this 😂

[@JacquesThebeau]

Is the nutritional calories per hr or total for the time?

[@nicolasboulanger6701]

So can we run 21 k before finishing a 10k ?

[@shahidgurkhoo5500]

I have 1.5 months for half marathon can achieve

[@lasse5214]

This is good
