Running Thoughts VS Reality

[@CED99]

For Sarah's (and the viewers) reference - Vero managed two records - he ran the 100m while on fire in 17 seconds, and also ran the furthest while on fire at 272m (time not disclosed)

[@runningchannel]

🤯

[@stephenqueen6946]

Pretty sure denethor from LOTR has the furthest on-fire sprint :P

[@godanswers]

Thank you for answering my question! I'm weixian from Singapore, sorry for my difficult-to-pronounce name😂. Would love a video on marathon training for those of us targeting 5h+ or even 6h! Even better, maybe pick someone who has never run a marathon before, and whose first marathon woukd be 5h+, and do a series journeying through the process with them! It would definitely be very relatable for many of us "regular" runners watching this channel!❤

[@killerqueen9298]

I love watching the three on your podcasts. You are so comical and it lifts low moods that I am suffering from at the moment. Keep them coming, please😂😂❤❤

[@runningchannel]

So good to hear! 👍

[@tarnel9]

I would fit in the slower category of runners. I train with the Jeffing plan. Also, when training for a marathon I tend to do a 20 second run and 30 second walk. Unlike other plans Jeff Galloway wants you to train anywhere between 26 and 29 miles on your long run. Last year did a 7 and 1/2 hour long run for 29 miles. Again, this was done with a lot of walking. With generous walk breaks recovery is not really that bad.

[@jemmasykes1909]

Great podcast, would you guys be able to do a video about 5+ hour marathons and the training involved please? I think this would interest a lot of slow runners like myself 🙂

[@MariaMarsbar]

I’d love this! I’d like to run a marathon some day, maybe next year but it’ll definitely take at least 5 hours for me!

[@jemmasykes1909]

@@MariaMarsbar it's a great dream to have, I'm hoping to do my first marathon next year 🙂 keep chipping away at your goals and you'll achieve them, best of luck to you 👍

[@ruggerdavey]

I’d love to hear about this too!

[@vikroy3777]

Andy in good form this week 🤣👍 I run for fun but used to have the same thing with cycling and flying. I remember myself and some friends were paranoid with flying and we heard vitamin C was good for colds and we practically OD'd at the juice bar after flying lol

[@John-Smlth]

19:47 It looks like these were two separate records, set on the same day! Both were run by Jonathan Vero, while in "full body burn" - running whilst fully on fire and without oxygen. The first was a 100m sprint which was done in 17 seconds, beating the previous time of 24.58 seconds. The second record was a distance run (still without oxygen), where he completed 272.25 metres, beating the prior 204.23m record.

[@runningchannel]

🤯 🔥

[@anelkaisgood2]

6:45 “Bus stop running”!!! It’s a thing!!! 😮😮😮 Andy had to call it out!! 😮😮 🚌 🏃🏻‍♂️

[@pascalejacquelinepetit5131]

On the same day (24 September 2023), another marathon that starts with a B, namely the Buenos Aires marathon is taking place. It would be great to have a show or commentary on training differences for various types of marathons, focusiing on altitude, surfaces being run on, water points, temperature chnages during the race, audience support (London Marathon 2022 was so noisy (horns) that it can be headache inducing). Thanks to the TRC team for these podcasts; fun to listen to, and great advice. Commenting from another B city - Brisbane, Australia

[@andrewwhitby5837]

I've even seriously thought about having a T-shirt printed, something like "Zone 2 Run Today" in case other people around think I'm just an old man running slowly... I have so far resisted this impulse...😊. Possibly it it may be partly connected to the 'Spotlight Effect' ?

[@fpupesh]

8:10 - happened to me today 🤣i was doing 400m repeats and on one of my recovery jogs a lady past me. 30 sec later i was in my 400m run, i was running 4:30k pace, i caught her, she tried to not allow me to pass her, went into a full blown sprint and blew up 30 sec later 🤣

[@CallMeShasta]

Andy was feeling particularly cheeky this week! This episode had great vibes

[@alasdairdalton9735]

Funnily enough I don't do the bus stop runner thing, usually too tired to care, but I'm fascinated by other people's running style. We should all run more or less the same way but we don't and some people look so inefficient but fly along.

[@kevinmahoney9205]

I ran a 5K last weekend and the photographer got me coming over the finish line. I looked like I was dying! I liked Rick's idea of doing the photos first. :)

[@josiegjackson]

You got to have a video where Sarah sings in a parkrun and that everyone else who are there would sing too after the solo! 😆

[@runningchannel]

This? kzbin.info/www/bejne/raGXZIKaqaZ0oa8

[@michaelrockow5461]

Sorry - I have the worst spit incident. I once spit on my glasses during a run...WHILE I WAS WEARING them. The loogie got caught on my lip, and when I tried to suck it back, it went straight up and hit me in the glasses. You never get over that.

[@tatjanakueth5278]

First off: glad I am not the only one suddenly going into prime running form passing by bus stations. Also this reminds me of my first half-marathon finish. In my head I went for a mega sprint across the finish line. When I saw the video later an old lady with a walk cane could have probably still overtaken me. So yeah, thought vs. reality…😂

[@iggalan]

About running in the trails downhill, you need a lot of practice and strength in your legs. Eventually you get to a point were you fly downhill with little effort. You have to land with a “soft knee”, a slight bend on the knee, and very high cadence, but there’s more to it. I know, been running on trails for years and only recently got to this point and it’s so fun 😃

[@moosemafia]

Higher cadence definitely helps. I've also found that turning the run into more of a gallop helps go downhill at speed.

[@speeddeacon9516]

No pride running! The best running advice this year! Love these podcasts!

[@bustatank1958]

Keep these coming folks. Always enjoyable and really good mix of tips and fun.

[@ne0n_idiot143]

7:23 the fastest runner on our cross country team was behind me on a run one time and me being me, I said I was gonna race him to the stoplight without him knowing. Little did I know, he was also racing me so we just dead sprinted like 300 meters to the next stoplight (he beat me barely)

[@damiankedzierski1261]

Is Andy running the marathon in Valencia this year? I'm running it and I'm so looking forward to it :)

[@debrascott8775]

Sarah did some lovely singing during the UTMB Thailand race video!

[@runningchannel]

I feel like this needs to find itself onto KZbin shorts…

[@oldmanwombat]

I was racking my brain to where I have seen Sarah sing.THANKS..

[@mikeheath2050]

Loved this episode, there’s so much in it which all runners will get. For some reason running on the Wirral, kids used to try and outrun us as we were training or sing “Keep on running” at us. I always wanted to look as comfortable as possible. I thought the fire thing was gonna be hill sprints and leg muscles (I was so far away…) Also the choice on bathroom or not lol, although portaloos are a nightmare, especially during a marathon or sth… Cheers again guys, keep them coming!

[@sivabala5232]

I love these podcasts. Keep them up please.

[@runningchannel]

Thank you!

[@clivewitcomb2839]

I really get the need to spit, especially on hard efforts in the cold. But since the pandemic, I've found it totally unacceptable at Parkruns or crowded races. I guess on the plus side, I do force myself to overtake spitters so that I'm safe, so I get faster times! X

[@jason.rams4]

Definitely one of the most entertaining episodes by far! Great stuff!

[@MisterCynic18]

11:00 lol I judge the form of literally everyone I see running when I'm just out and about in the street. Lucky for me I don't even register the presence of other people while I'm out running myself.

[@FunnyScaryFeet]

Really like you guys sitting around talking. Keep it up.

[@meganhirschi6248]

Oof. Feeling it Sarah. I have a 30k next week and have missed two runs because of a bad headcold.

[@ayrshirerunner]

Good luck for Valencia Andy. Hopefully see you guys out there

[@ulfeliasson5413]

You guys are one of the highlights of the week.

[@michelleharnett1351]

[@jamiemcvey9698]

Sarah’s ‘Evil’ laugh at the 18.30min mark 😂

[@iosifmakedonskiy1099]

I’m already looking forward to Andy’s first marathon Long run 😊

[@colinmorley2269]

Enjoyable, Informative, Entertaining. Thank you

[@runningchannel]

Thanks for watching!

[@JohnBirtchetSharpe]

My base running has been using MAF for over about 16 Months , so I lhave no problm letting other people past me , and in fact if they are close to the pace I am running I will divert to avoid any ego issues. If I can't avoid it at all , I just stop pause my watch and give them time to move on.

[@mad_incognito]

I did my first Marathon at 5h+ but I was able to do my 20 miles run 3 weeks before around 4h. It was tough but it gave me the confidence to tackle the marathon. I am a slow runner but pretty good in recovery. Maybe add walks into a very long run as this is most likely necessary for slow runners in a marathon race.

[@woutpeters45]

2 extra options to prepare yourself for a marathon but the traditional long run of 18 miles or longer is too long because recovery takes too long: - cross train with for instance cycling, this way you will still train your arobic capacity but will not have the impact of beïng on your feet for a long time - you cut your long run short and add an extra recovery run the day after the long run where you run the miles you were supposed to run in the long run, that way your total mileage will be the same but split in 2 runs

[@andersstaffe1863]

Looking forward to hearing Sara sing and Andy run a marathon.

[@hairyairey]

I imagine Sarah can sing very well when she's not poorly

[@oldmanwombat]

I do my long run Sunday afternoon .Get home hydrate ,eat, rest then sleep. If I'm tight it is on Monday at work . At least I haven't wasted half of MY day.

[@redshycoker]

I’m laughing the entire time. You guys are great!!

[@sasanach8]

im a mouth breather and never need to spit at all and often after some long Saturday runs approx 50k was training ;I've fallen asleep in the armchair in the afternoon for couple hours ;long granpa nap lol

[@garymanders1273]

Hate having pics taken...solved that problem by giving the proverbial bird to the camera man with a big smile on my face...got to be friendly 😁when i approach them...can never find a pic of myself when photo's are released😂😂

[@ramblingrambles]

Love the dynamic of the podcast. I'm new to running (well new to the bug of loving running) and I'm curious if you have any videos/advice on the 'drop' of shoes. I used to run in the Pegasus 39s (which were great) then succumbed to the buzz of online reviews for the Puma Deviate Nitro 2s about a month ago. Since then I've experienced horrible calf/lower leg pains. Reverted back to the Pegasus for a runthrough event today and the pain was not a thing. I've booked a gait analysis (which I probably should have done at the beginning) but am curious as to why given the Deviate Nitro 2s are meant to be nicely cushioned, good for support etc. (Know this is a very specific user case so apologies) Keep up the amazing work! Looking forward to Sarah serenading us in a future vid!

11:35 You aren’t on their radar unless you’re running barefoot. In such case, you keep hearing over and over other people talking to each other on why the hell are you running without shoes, or informing you that you are in fact not wearing shoes, or warning you against its dangers, or they just nervously burst into loud laughter. And all that right after quick glimpse of you while you run past them at a rather fast pace. Apparently, their "radar" can instantly turn on whenever there’s anything remotely unusual happening nearby.

[@nicolahammer]

My partner is a hobby photographer and we had the conversation very early on about upstep photos!

[@glennnicholls8510]

Vancouver marathon and half- marathon have the last 400m running uphill. Nobody ever looks good in their race photos in those events

[@rachelturner395]

The lady feeling knackered post long run. It could be the type of food being consumed pre during and post run and time between eating and running. If your body hasn’t converted enough into energy or is the wrong proportions of carbs/dairy/protein the body is going to be working doubly hard to convert into energy and give you enough energy while running. Then not getting the electrolytes in during and protein post run

[@OmaRuns67]

I definitely have to spit a lot when I’m running. One of my biggest pet peeves is people that spit on the course🤮. I believe proper etiquette would be to spit off the course.

[@owenspottiswoode5936]

To segue between two threads in this podcast almost as smoothly as Rick, surely Sarah has to give us a rendition of 'Born to Run' by The Boss?

[@silvermandavid]

I would like to hear Sarah sing "Don't Cry for me Argentina." Make it happen, TRC!

[@simonnixon6000]

Thanks for another great episode!

[@runningchannel]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@N3wt199]

I broke my leg quite badly many years ago , I have had a tendency to sprain my ankle on a fairly regular basis so i tend to be really rain it in on the down hills through fear of stacking it in a bad way!

[@runningchannel]

Sounds sensible. Rick’s with you on that.

[@poppadomia]

On the fire running article, Rick quipped“running’s really taken off” and even a tumbleweed couldn’t be bothered rolling past

[@SuperYtc1]

11:30 Andy: Maybe we are entirely self-obsessed. Rick: Potentially... Sarah. Probably. 😂😂😂

[@CaptainBrash]

it's normal for your body to protect your calories. if you do more cardio than normal your NEAT will go down. it's basically your metabolism slowing down to conserve energy. though yeah, if it's an extreme response then it could be a mineral deficiency or something. for slow runners, I'd say get a heart rate monitor and train by time+heart rate rather than pace+distance you definitely do need to make sure you are hitting some distance milestones in your long runs but running by heart rate or power will make sure the effort is relative to your ability level.

[@davids8766]

I vote for Sarah to sing "Teenage Dirtbag" by Wheatus. This used to be the only song I'd sing at karaoke.

[@runningchannel]

😂

[@boncetv2165]

I live near the route where Sarah ran in the New Forest. Couldn’t of picked a busier road 😂

[@Shevock]

Bruce is bigger than a race for sure.

[@MrArnie82]

I agree with u Sarah can't let any one overtake ya 😂

[@davidjuson5608]

That was interesting. I started runnin--- jogging in 2017 aged 65: I think you could do an hour or more on my issues with bodily fluids and looking dreadful in big-event action photographs. However, I reckon most of your viewers would "gross out" and switch off about a minute in. That said, the more weight I lost the easier my conditions became to cope with. My hiatus hernia, which had blighted my sporting life since my mid-teens, disappeared altogether and, believe it or not, I actually look sexy in finish line snaps taken at last year's New Forest 10k. Oh, Rick! I'm in Southampton.

[@axelservellon8157]

U guys using metric system right?😢 I felt confused sometimes.

[@livewire1957239]

1:45 I think Rick needs to get some canned laughter and bada-bam! drum fills on those buttons just for moments like this.

[@juliana8113]

I was doing a half marathon in training at around 4.30 /km pace and I was 10 miles in and dying - and I got overtook by two teenage lads doing sprints and I was INCENSED

[@nchristensen3309]

perhaps to late now, but what about 2024 Running Channel version of "Carol of the Bells"

[@Juice4Y0U]

Once I was cycling home from school when a sport cyclist overtakes me and spits... He might've though he was far away enough but because of his speed... Right in my face

[@vinads1309]

What watch is Sarah wearing on this?😊

[@pballfin]

I want to see a video of all of the running channel presenters singing.... but while doing hard 400 or 800 on a track with ear buds in and see who sounds the best while running! 😅

[@ollie1317]

I run alone so that "conversational" pace doesn't work for me. No one sees me but i still cant talk to myself, so i sing instead..Some of the faster Acdc songs i try probably aren't ideal either as the pace picks up too much!

[@AlbertWeijers]

Long runs should be at easy pace, if I would run for max 3 hours I wouldn't run further than 30k, at my easy pace. But I think that would be enough otherwise recovery time is too long.

[@nath9091]

Sarah would so worry me as a guy trying to overtake a woman while staying as far away as possible if she sped up just as I approached. I'd be lost whether to speed up to overtake fast but that'll look like I'm chasing them or stay at a steady pace but then they might do it again. I'd probably just divert somewhere random to avoid the social anxiety.

[@chrisking6448]

I’d like to hear Sarah sing “Somewhere over the Rainbow”

[@deec6535]

The spitting thing. My husband does that when we run. I never have. I thought he was just an oddball. Lol

[@CaptainBrash]

When I'm doing easy running I'm always convinced people are thinking "look at this jacked guy struggling along with his token cardio" obviously nobody knows enough about running or exercise to have those thoughts! xD my girlfriend says apparently some of the locals call me The Beast as I'm a pretty big guy with long curly hair and a big beard running around in a vest and tights.

[@jacketpotayto6189]

Just wondering when we're going to see a full podcast whilst all three of you run together? :)

[@michaelandereck236]

"You just straight in with a cold delivery" "Well it's a warm delivery sometimes" 😂 💩

[@Mike-gi4ft]

How about having a guest presenter my choice would Annq do miss her on the Channel,

[@runningchannel]

New videos with Anna in coming soon!

[@hairyairey]

Spitting. Your body is producing saliva and mucus all the time. JVT demonstrated the amount in his Christmas lectures a few years ago. So when you run the swallowing that normally happens is supressed. I don't nose breath during running because of a deviated septum. Possibly since my nose was broken. Which I straightened myself, as you do... When I run I generally know which way is North etc Sarah. Unless it's cloudy and I am running in an unfamiliar place.
