[@lightyearsfromhome1165]

I should have had this instruction in mid 70s. My coach always wanted me to stay with pack ( mile mostly) and when I did not only did I not win around 4:46 to 4:55 , but I seemed to not to improve. FinallyI front runned in district meet with a 4:24. I was even less exhausted than before. I qualified for regionals and ran 4:20 and then state (6th place) in 4:17. After that I went in military. I hated the exexhaustion, the pressure, and the constant tug of war with coach. Now I'm 66 and started again in hopes of doing a mile in 8 minutes with no coach except for you tube.

Interesting to hear J. Ingebrigsten talk about nerves coming into play at the starting line. I always find myself looking around and seeing so many fit people that look prepped and confident, I find it difficult to keep in mind that only a couple of them will finish ahead of me.

[@scmikirtoumov8676]

I am not trying to be better than everyone else when I do 5ks just be better than myself. My parkrun PB went from around 24min to 21.5min, but I really want to just get faster and break the 20min. Seem to be stuck at around 22 min mark. Will try the multiple 400m interval training to see if that helps

[@Losentetre]

I am 45 years old runner. I run my PB (20.44) when I was 40 years old. Since then my "wall" was 21.15 before 2 years. This year I will try to run a new PB focusing on my weekly training like this: 1 run aerobic at pace 5.40-5.55 for 10-15km. 2 run interval 4X800m (pace 4.10) with 400m rest (pace 5.50). 3. 1 tempo run for 8km (4.40- 4.50 pace). I hope till may to be in shape to beat my PB. Good luck at your training, mate!

[@reneticsk]

Just keep consistently training and you will get there!

[@mikelldaley9078]

SHOULD HELPIN THE 5K

[@adamabruzzini7697]

A 5K is surprisingly aerobic. You can get much faster times by increasing your the length of your long run and weekly mileage. I'm stuck at the 18.5 minute barrier myself because I don't enjoy the fast 400 repeats and 800's alone (I need to find running partners). When you run on your own it is very hard to push yourself through the last reps. It really helps to have a partner. I watched the video below and it gave me some new hope for the average park runner. kzbin.info/www/bejne/h2LblWZ9n6qoq8U Good Luck!

[@GbawlZ]

Keep it consistent, but also make sure you're improving incrementally at a reasonable pace. Anyone can keep consistent and remain stagnant.

[@ianpaddick2003]

[@mattmoler4831]

@@wally139 I was just wondering which one he uses and recommended

[@TerjeMathisen]

None! What guys like you don't get is that the entire mentality towards peds here in Norway is a complete horror: It really doesn't matter how good you are or how many championships you've won: Being caught with EPO/whatever will basically destroy you completely. We used to have this issue in xc skiing for a couple of decades, where the best Norwegian skiers would win most of the world cup races before and after the olympics/world champs, but during those championships there were suddenly someone from East Europe, Italy or Spain who would be far faster than the rest. Pretty much all of them have now been caught and retroactively struck from the result lists, but getting an olympic medal 1-7 years later is very far from doing so on race day.

[@dennispacelli1007]

For you? heroin!

[@magnusrylander]

Well that ddpends on what you consider a performence enhancing drug. Any drug that enhances performance, is infact a PED, but can still be completely legal. Caffine or protien powder supplements both enhance performance, but are completely legal in sport. Even things in food can be 100% natural while still being a PED. Collagen peptides are a good example.of this, as peptides are usually banned, but collagen is 100% legal. The phrase PED has been dragged through the mud when there are tons of completely legal and even healthy forms of performance enhancing drugs out there that you can even buy at local retailors

It's actually the Ingebrigtsen family mantra. They're all about staying as close to the line of what the body can endure over time, rather than overdoing it - risking injury or overtraining. With time that line has naturally been pushed forward. Step by Step. They run a hard schedule, keeping in mind stepping stones and goals.

Wonder if he will end up translating his talents into full marathon races similar to Eliud Kipchoge where he use to do short distances then changed with age?

[@GbawlZ]

I think he has things left to accomplish at the middle distance range while he's still "young", in running years. He clearly has ambitions to be the best 1500 runner of all time, so one would think he's going to hold off on the marathon at least until that's accomplished.

He basicly gave the recipe. It's grit and hard work. Plan everything out every week. Eat well (eat something light on race days), sleep well (always), stay active (don't ever overdo it in training - your not racing there. Avoid injuries). You should check out the Ingebrigtsen show. Gives a little insight to the family. His father Gjert wrote a book about his methods. Even though his sons don't train with him anymore, they still have the same training framework.
