No. Mark said he ran too hard in the 1st run. He went even faster in the (same) 2nd easy session. No wonder why he was bunked. It's kinda stupid to do so, if you know how it should be done. Phil gave a simple explanation why easy should be easy.

I can't actually believe how chirpy and fresh Mark looks after these sessions. It would be good to know what a 'normal' week of training Mark does to put the additional load into context. One thing I don't understand about all these double days is how and when the body is able to adapt without rest? Is a good nights sleep and right nutrition really enough?
@gtn3 ай бұрын
That's an interesting point! It'll probably depend on who's doing the training and what you're used to 👀
@jonahwoolley44653 ай бұрын
Yeah, like I'm already pretty tired with my current training schedule, and if I do a double day (which I do on occasion, an intense run in the morning and a strength session in the evening), I'm dead destroyed and 100% need a rest day to recover and adapt. A schedule this intense would do me no good, at least in my current shape, since as you said I'd never adapt without the rest. But I guess elite marathoners are just built different, and probably used to this volume so their body adapts quicker.

Kipchoge does a lot of his easy runs at 5 min/km, so the rest of us have no business trying to build mileage running faster than that. I ran with a club that had us doing all long and easy runs at 4:30/km and ended up running a marathon 9 minutes slower than when I was not even looking at my watch during easy runs.

It’s baked into the longer runs: 3-4x 5k in the 30k and the progressive 40k. And an elite marathoner won’t be hanging about on those sessions. But training for an elite runner is very individualised. For example, a runner has very good speed then doing more sustained threshold work might be what they more for the marathon.

I think this would've been better if you had based it upon hours instead of distance. That would've probably scaled a lot beter, when I am coaching I always give the athletes their workouts in hours/minutes. This makes it easier for them to listen to their body and go at their own pace.

Runs based on time would work better. Lower fitness runners are spending more time at those effort levels compared to higher fitness runners. Limiting runs to 60 to 65 minutes, except for hard sessions including long runs, would better for most people.
@lfcamerican43663 ай бұрын
Not sure if running to pace and running on soft surfaces works. You're slower on the softer surface, so you run harder to maintain pace, so your form drops, and then you do more damage than the soft surface mitigates. Run to duration and HR/Power and you can run on whatever surface, gradient, or temp you want.
