Love the explanation of how you are training. I always love to learn about how good athletes do different styles. Right now im in japan just training and bought new peg 40s for my normal days and vaporfly for my workout days here. Love your vids and keep uploading because it makes training here alone easier

[@charleshicks]

That’s awesome! Keep up the good work!

[@Sagradon]

I’m sad the cross season is ending (my last race on wed) but I love watching training videos!

[@charleshicks]

Best of luck w that race! You got this 👍

[@Sagradon]

@@charleshicksthank you so much! Cant wait to see your pro career unfold!

[@matthewdahlerup7584]

5:24 70 mile shakeout 💀

[@leonardodionizio9621]

Hi Charles, so happy to see you thriving!!

[@charleshicks]

Thanks!

[@thewestdepererunner8423]

Love your videos! I am a college XC runner, and I was wondering what Nike shoes you would recommend for workouts on grass? Thanks!

[@daviddejesus5376]

I enjoy your videos Charles. I saw you win several races at Apalachee Regional XC Park. Congratulations and good luck.

[@tnan123]

Really interesting to hear how your training has changed compared to college.

[@charleshicks]

Still working into it, running a bit more mileage and have a lot more time to prioritize rest and recovery

[@Price_Drawz5k]

Hey love the video. In the future could you make a video on how to schedule a week with training on race week. I’ve been having trouble lately figuring out how far out I should do certain workouts from my big races.

[@logan6267]

What races are you currently training for? When will we see the Hicks vs Ingebrigtsen showdown we've all been waiting for😂

[@logan6267]

Nvm I just saw the end of the video🥴

[@laurencharltonn]

I would love a video on the pro lifestyle is different to college and how this enables you to recover better (time resting, nutrition, sleep, mental stress, time for stretching/activation before runs etc)??

[@augustocaceres8689]

Great video! Are you doing any strength at the moment? If so when do you schedule them? easy days or before a hard workout?

[@charleshicks]

Not a ton right now but will be lifting a lot more starting soon! Any day works but I wouldn’t do too much if you’re going before a hard workout.

[@yankaitan8648]

🎉🎉🎉

[@echrbax]

Have you tried the Streakfly? Isn’t that meant to bridge the gap between Vapes and Spikes?

[@charleshicks]

Personally I haven’t used them much, maybe I gotta check them out

[@nick5323]

Charles why havent you raced yet and when and what race will you be racing in coming up and are you still racing in Cross for standford xc

[@charleshicks]

I went pro this year haha. Not sure about XC yet but I’ll be training to give the Olympics a shot

[@ejdel1289]

Hi charles, im a distance runner junior in highscool and I want to run d1, my pr in 5k xc is 16:30 and my mile is 4:30 and 2 mile 9:42. People are telling me I can easily run d1 and if I do consistent high mileage for a year (50-60 mile weeks) I will easily break 15:30 in the 5k, do you think I have a shot?

[@georgedbska4519]

you’ll be ok as long as you don’t get injured, don’t push mileage and get hurt

[@InspiNatio]

I am totally loving the pro videos! Hopefully i will run for stanford and do what you did

[@charleshicks]

I hope so too!

[@cloudyisghost]

Hey, I was wondering if you have any recommendations for spikes for XC. I saw those less recent races when you raced in NCAA for Stanford and won! Was really inspiring to watch you climb and inspired me to get better at XC. Thanks!

[@alanfinn3710]

Dragonflies

[@dumsetskittles]

Both types are good (dragonfly’s) in my opinion 😊

[@mountaingoat1982]

Are you running the euro cross trials at Liverpool this year ?

[@massimopicca]

surprised Jerry let you post this tbh

[@mattk4885]

Yo do you use any fuel gels like maurten or UG for workouts or training?

[@charleshicks]

Not yet but I’ve been thinking about trying some gels for these long runs. They keep getting longer! 😂

[@enthalpy7679]

Hey Charles was wondering what your thoughts were on rest days, right now I’m doing 70 mile weeks as a college freshy with a day completely off, what point would you suggest to run every day?

[@charleshicks]

A lot of people train with rest days if they feel that day completely off makes the week seem easier so that’s definitely okay! I prefer to run 7 days a week because I get pretty sore after taking a day off and it spreads the mileage out a little easier. I’d recommend trying a 6 day week and a 7 day week, journal how each day/ week feel’s and then compare your experience!

[@enthalpy7679]

@@charleshicksthanks for the advice! Im tryna do some breakout training so this’ll help

[@laurencharltonn]

Do you still wear a gps watch even though you aren't tracking "miles" as such? would you recommend time based running for college students? Also would you ever run by HR? I saw your HR was quite high on the long run - is this ok?

[@charleshicks]

I would definitely recommend doing what your coach prefers, but if they’re okay with time-based I think it simplifies a lot of variables. And my HR monitor is definitely broken 😂

[@alberthaust4542]

@@charleshicks I was wondering. Those are some high heart rates for the paces you were running.

[@connorbrucker5481]

You probably get this a lot, but why does your watch say your heart rate 170+ during most runs?

[@blastedpotato]

It might not be accurate

[@lorenzoquirante8685]

He’s doing infinite threshold

[@charleshicks]

My HR monitor is all over the place 😂

[@williampolinelli5939]

duncan who?

[@matiaslevy6431]

you should do a collaboration video with lex and leo young

[@charleshicks]

One day 🤞

[@lilyjazzification]

I think Lex and Leo need to concentrate on their transition to college running for a while.

[@aleksandrkrikov9724]

7:08 the streak fly! I use it for any rep that’s a mile or less

[@johnlester6413]

teehee :)

[@nango3410]

Love your attitude to the sport and your enthusiastic vibe, it's inspiring me, thanks!

[@brianmcewen3082]

Strike the phrases "10-mile shakeout" and "7-mile shakeout" from your vocabulary. Those are endurance runs, distance runs, or continuous runs, and are the backbone of mitochondrial development, aerobic development, or base training. They are not a ShakeOut. A ShakeOut is what you do the morning of a competition and is between 1 and 3 miles usually.

[@Tritiuminducedfusion]

🤣😂😆

[@zaydxn2735]

When your mileage is so high and your running 12+ miles a day, 7 miles just feels like a shakeout

[@Tritiuminducedfusion]

@zaydxn2735 Yup, bingo. Hell, I peaked at 55 mpw for marathon training, and Charlie's way faster than me, and 7 miles feels easy to me too.

[@Tritiuminducedfusion]

@zaydxn2735 That being said when you go above 2 or 3 miles it's probably more of a recovery run? But idk who cares, it's semantics.

[@evanmatocha8190]

Ain’t nobody care bruh 😂. He’s a pro he can call it whatever he wants to.
