Sounds like a good workout but much more focused on your vo2 max. Threshold runs are likely to be a little slower than the interval work you mentioned above. Slowing things down may allow you to increase the volume a little. Adjusting pace to temperature is always sensible too so maybe training to hr could be a good option for you :)
@Soferrytiresome3 жыл бұрын
This was great! I’m base building and doing at least one threshold and one set of strides a week (plus plenty of strength stuff). I experimented with km repeats and other intervals but based on risk and recovery as you mentioned, decided to bin them as too taxing on the body. Loving the insights mate, and the cooking tips haha
@BenIsRunning3 жыл бұрын
Thanks buddy! I know a lot of runners who use thresholds alone until about 3/4 weeks out from a race, then they start adding the shorter repeats. Vo2 max efforts are still important but if they are preventing you from getting a good week of training in best to leave them out and focus on what your body responds best too :) all the best with your training

@Ben Is Running Thanks for your honest videos and advice, you do inspire . I did my first threshold session yesterday & loved it. I did a ParkRun PB in the morning of 25.24 which was over 40 seconds faster than my first ever ParkRun the week before (after over 2 years of no fitness). Then later that evening did a 30 min HRZ2 warm up to the woods, did threshold for 28 mins 4 x 5 mins at HRZ4 (crept into 5 a little) then kept running at a slower rate for 1.30 mins. then a tempo run home. Felt surprisingly strong consider I did over 11 miles of running & 6 miles of cycling in one day. Your video of double days is music to my ears as I decided last week to use Saturday's as a double day & Sunday / Monday as rest, Tuesday on the Track and other days with strength and recovery etc. I am training for Marathon, starting by improving my overall fitness and endurance first, then giving it some more distance, I have run just short of half marathon this month already, so giving it some beans before it gets to cold.

I did all my running (back in the day) at about 85 to 90%,,ran 34min for 10k and 1.15 for the half ,no warm up or down,all on only 25 to 30 miles a week ,no water or tech or music, or park run or chatting, just the wind and sky and skip the dog for company...just put on pumps, shorts no vest, ,felt like I was flying ,my feet hardly touching the ground ..one xc ,one track ,one undulating session and hill rep session a week ,had to go to some dark places ,pushing till you have no more and then some..one track session I loved and would recommend to average to above average runners wanting to improve their times is split 400 mtrs into 3,first half jog, second race pace, third part fast to the finishing line and repeat 10 to 12 times or so ,,the fitter you get the faster your jog recovery will get then followed by a 2 mile xc at good pace, my methods may seem strange now.but with family life and a less than encouraging wife, time was of a premium ..out and back in less than 45min job done, back home to play with the kids ps Always died a death in marathons but who's got time to train for one them ! .

When I did 2-3 threshold sessions a week, my speed improved a lot knocking off about 1 minute for my average pace. My heartrate also dropped when running at faster speeds. It is definitely my bread and butter workout. For the half marathon, I did 1 long run and the 2 workouts were threshold and 1 sprint workout.

The different approaches to getting faster are fascinating. I have experienced that running at near race pace often works but its not something you hear much on videos like this. There's a lot of train slow to run fast / Zone 2 / MAF stuff out there about building your aerobic base. And I'm sure that can work as well, but I've never had the patience to maintain it over the months and years it probably takes.

@BenIsRunning3 жыл бұрын

everybody has a different max heart rate and the 220 formula isnt really that arcuarte for everyone and if you have a higher heart rate than ben that doesnt mean that youre bether or slower than him/ it doesnt necesarylly mean that youre running at a to high heart rate i think. But i treshold run should be at a certant percantage of your max heart rate i guess. i dont know how much percantage tho.

Thanks buddy. Maintaining that hr for an hour is very impressive. I’d however probably take 10 seconds off your race pace for a 10 miler to find your threshold. If you run thresholds too hard it can affect the volume your able to achieve across your week. 165-175hr would also be a good target to aim for. If you can get comfortable at 5:58 pace for threshold though your race pace will fall too so all about find the balance :)

With the calculator or perceived effort it would be 8:23/mile. I really think HR plans are worthless. I’d love to get a lactate test.

I'm starting to get runners knee and it totally decimated my speed progress, I don't really know how long to wait to heal or if I should because I don't want to ruin my training. Are knees supposed to be sore after running? What should I do?

There is a stretching exercise which actually helps release the stress on your knees…I used to have that too, cant even get down the stairs 😂😂

I’ve not experienced this but the above advice sounds good. Sorry I can’t offer any advice

I've found increasing my cadence has been the biggest help for my average knees! I was always a long, slow strider but have since upped my cadence and rarely have issues now. Also make sure you invest in some decent shoes, there's no shoe too expensive if it means running nearly pain free imo

Is it normal that somedays my target HR for threshold runs will result in a slower pace than a previous threshold workout. Today I was nearly 9secs/km slower than last weeks threshold workout at the same heart rate. I thought i was supposed to be getting faster at the same heart rate 😢

How much WU and CD would you usually have on a 45min threshold workout

2km easy either side is what I’d recommend

I’d have disagree, I see threshold training as being beneficial for all abilities. If your new to running then starting with say 10mins at your threshold pace and slowly building it up week on week will have you running faster in no time

@@BenIsRunning I just bought the standard amazon basics one. Hasn't got the texture like the trigger point one. Only issue I have with it is it can be slippy on hard floors. Edit: just looked on amazon and they don't seem to do them anymore, but any cheap expanded polypropylene should do.

For me, miracle cure was cycling, lifting up on pedals. Ie - opposite stress.
