Balancing Training: Developing a Personalized Endurance Program

[@CandyCoveredRainbow]

Steve Magness the legend dropping yet another banger of a video. Thank you for delivering us these gems of knowledge from your years of experience for absolutely free.

Much appreciated

Thank you for these! I think your videos are some of the clearest and soundest ones I’ve seen on running/ training in a long time, and I’m glad I stumbled upon them.

Great video Steve. What about us recreational runners that participate in races of various distances? For example I might race a 10K this month and do a half marathon in six weeks-or a marathon in spring. What to do then? I currently try to stay in "near-race shape" year round-focusing heavily on lots of easy mileage while sprinkling in a workout every other week alternating between a 5K specific (12x400) and a marathon specific one (3x3 miles). Seems to be working pretty good for this 49yo (I'm gradually getting faster over a variety of distances while my training load seems sustainable for the past two years) but I'm curious to hear your thoughts.

Unless I missed it, you didn’t really talk about how to incorporate individual physiology into training. For example, I’m a slow twitch endurance guy. Do I do more endurance because I’m an endurance responder, or do I do more speed because that’s a weakness and it takes more for me to respond?

Great framework to understand how to train - thanks!

So as a complete novice should i be doing lots of easy zone 1 and 2... With hill sprints... For building a strong general base of speed and endurance? Frequency of hill sprints? Is there a guide for novices who want to macimally train 6/,7 days a week? Im a powerlifter looking to maintain strength and maximize endurance

Great video! What balance do you recommend for someone with a lower than average running pace? For example, my most recent 5K averaged 15 minute mile pace. I’d like to improve my mile pace to 10 - 12 min mile pace before attempting the higher distances. I’m just not sure which I should emphasize more: speed or endurance. I would think it would be speed but I’ve seen so many videos that say ‘run slow to run fast.’ I’m already running slow 😂

[@Chriscrusty]

in the final thoughts and summary i didn't understand why i shouldn't overload by increasing the pace on my intervals or increasing reps week on week. that's what seems like the next logical step.

Great presentation as usual . Please, can you help us with endurance for team sports. I liked the article about soccer

[@SteveMagness]

Great suggestion!

This is exactly what I need now I did a marathon yesterday where B goal was 4:30….. failed miserably for various reasons even though I have hit speeds at 5km, 10km and half marathon that I haven’t seen in years. I’m thinking now maybe do a month of 2 x 10km comfort slow steady pace (approx 60 mins or more so cover distance without walking) and 1 x 5km faster (sub 28 mins) per week Then as year progresses go into the formal programme Your thoughts? Maybe throw in 1 x 30 min HITT session of S&C too
