Thank you for converting all your pacing into metric. It makes it so much easier for this Aussie to understand. Great video and very useful information.

[@rundreamachieve]

Happy to help! 💯💯👊💪🙏

[@dbnzd9173]

Thanks a lot, Coach. I'm chasing to break Sub-3 in a marathon on the 28th of April. Your advice has been very helpful. Sending love from 🇿🇦🏃🏾‍♂️

[@rundreamachieve]

You got this! 💪👊💪💪

I ran 1:55.30 today for a half marathon, about 72 degrees and I'm trying to break 4 hours at Chicago next month. I know I went out way too hard because I was cocky and knew that I could keep running 8:45 miles for a half marathon. I ran about 11 miles at that effort and then slowed down, on purpose mile 11-12, the last mile took care of itself. I think if I go out slower in the marathon my time will start with a 3:XX.xx. Your varied long run speeds really helped a lot.

[@rundreamachieve]

GREAT job RF dropping that 1:55.30. VERY well done brother. Yes, just make some adjustments in your pacing and you are going to nail that sub 4 time in Chicago. Keep up the superior work and congrats on a great effort today.

Ran 9 miles at MP in my last long run after a couple weeks of interval and VO2 max speed workouts. The marathon pace felt sooo much easier!

[@rundreamachieve]

Outstanding work Jason! 💪👊💪👊

[@aaroncunningham1280]

Great video as always. Going for a sub 3 in Manchester this weekend 💪🏼

[@rundreamachieve]

Good luck! I know you'll get that time Aaron 💪💯✊💯

[@blessedhomeschool]

Thanks for the advice! I haven't heard of that calculator, going to check it out now.

[@rundreamachieve]

Glad it was helpful! 🙏💯💪

[@sisqoist]

Thanks a mill coach! i mentioned to you that am targeting 2:30,started training in Jan and my training based on your advice so far is shaping up well.... my first marathon run will be in June and this video has brought in more light. Thank you again!

[@rundreamachieve]

My pleasure and keep up the superior work..very few runners can go sub 2:30. You have my utmost respect for going after a time that fast 💪👊💪💪💪👊

[@sisqoist]

@@rundreamachieve thanks coach! Like you normally say, major improvements take time, they dont happen overnight…

[@rundreamachieve]

💯💯💯💯

[@BoyeRijs]

Thanks for the video! Can you link to the seminar mentioned around 4:38?

[@rundreamachieve]

In the description now...GREAT presentation by the GOAT Coach 💯💯💯💯👊

[@yaronpedersen6010]

Tanxs again, coach, for good tips.👍 I've learned a lot from you all the time I've been following you here. Hope this season will be better, and without injuries, so I can reach my goal this year! 🙏🙂

[@rundreamachieve]

wishing you great success Yaron and thanks for your support 💪💯👊

I’ve concentrated on speed first in training. Then I extended that speed over longer distances. I have a bodybuilding background. How I calculated extending the speed over long distances is similar to how I calculate my one rep max in lifts. Example: if my one rep max bench is 300 lbs., and my goal is to build muscle, I would do 65% of that one rep max. So it would be 300 x .65 = 195 lbs. So I would do 195 x 6-10 reps. In running, I would do many Time Trials. First, I would do a 1 mile TT each time I enter a block. Then I would go to the VDot calculator and it’ll spit out all my training paces. For example to improve my 5k, I did 3 x 1 mile reps. I ran them slightly faster than what I can currently do. Maybe about 5 seconds faster to force adaptation in the body. Then I would just take it easy the rest of the week. It really made massive improvements in my times. You don’t necessarily have to kill yourself in each rep. Just incremental progress over time. Just like in bodybuilding, 2.5-5lbs. improvement.

Appreciate you sharing this Ben and wishing you continued success with your training 💪✊💯

[@jconcoffee]

Interesting video, and always a difficult topic to cover. Having used VDOT and McMillan Running, I think McMillan was slightly more realistic (for me). I think the main thing to consider is that the predicted times are not a given based on the time posted for a particular single run. They merely help to guide you towards what is possible if you train specifically for the event you are doing. IE this is your potential based on your current fitness. Like Nathan says, the more long runs and long workouts (plus building that training time) you do the more you'll be able to better predict a fairly accurate time.

[@rundreamachieve]

Definitely a difficult topic to cover. Appreciate you sharing this JCC. Keep up the superior work out there 💯👊💯👊

[@blaquaman1739]

Thanks for all the knowledge. Could you do a video on bodyweight and run times. I’m shaped like a college halfback and I notice I have fifty pounds on the overall winners. I win my age group usually but I want the podium!

[@rundreamachieve]

Sure thing! 💪👊💯💯👊

[@damiencawley2583]

How far out from a marathon should you use a half marathon result as guide to marathon race pace

[@rundreamachieve]

3-5 weeks Damien. Keep up the superior work out there brother. 💪💪💪👊

[@Emil-ej5of]

Hey coach, love your videos but could you add some soft background music to the intro? I see the intro, hear no sound, crank my volume to the max then ”HEY TEAM, HOPE YOURE DOING WELL” breaks my ears. 😂 keep em coming boss!

[@rundreamachieve]
