Hi Chris. Watched all your JD videos 4 years ago (time flies). Rewatching them again. Great motivation. I’m commencing the Blue plan this week. Hope you are well. Thanks Stuart

How did your repetition and interval pace differ from tempo? What paces were they all at?

The book content is great. I created a spreadsheet for easy access to the time intervals. I learned to pace myself implementing the VDOT system and noticed improvement every four weeks (of course everyone has limits) Marathon pace training and 30 second walk brakes during long runs helps me with my workouts. Thanks for sharing.

#Kneesovertoesguy My 64 year old body has never felt better! Add Ben's Zero program to your life, you won't regret it!

Thank you, mate! Wishing you the best of luck with your continued running journey!

Daniels does distinguish Interval from Tempo pace in the book. You're correct in saying your interval pace is essentially your 5k pace, Daniels defines it as your 3k to 5k pace. Threshold pace might be very close to your half marathon pace. I believe he says it's basically your 1-hour race pace. This shouldnt be extremely difficult for 20-30 min bouts

About the 5th things, it's almost "marathon" pace.... i agree with everething, GREAT VIDEO, i'll record a similar in portuguese... thank you

In my estimation, the “secret” to distance running is in two workouts: a long run with goal race type efforts after the mid point, and a threshold day. Fill the rest with easy miles (for most runners).

beautiful view when you got to the top, never been there and I live in Broadway

Hi, I'm 41 and run for fun. My recent Half Marathon was 1:27:27 (~4:08 per km) so congrats on 1:28:28 (funny coincidence). It could be that you need strength training to manage the volume you're doing. Doing easy days slightly slower than faster is wise. I would also recommend barefoot running. Good luck. Do you measure heart rate? What is your % for E?

Great video! You mentioned that this wasnt your favorite hike- what would that be? Old Rag?

Great hike!~

still running?

Which trails did you guys do?

Thanks for the quality video!

Amazing video, I’m looking to do a similar hike this summer…..I may avoid Plantation trail though 😂.

Are you still using the JD training plans?

can you make a video to see if there was an improvement of performance?

I was on Big Schloss that weekend, more ice than snow.

I'll look into this. I get out a lot and rarely hit the same trail so I'm always looking for something new.

Had ordered the book even before this had popped up in my feed. Looking forward to reading and training under the influence of (the legendary) Jack Daniels (haha even he used to laugh about that). thanks for summarizing some of your take aways here! Happy running!

Really good video! Very inspiring

Thank you for sharing this beautiful hike! I've been wanting to get down to Grayson Highlands but did not have a good feel for which trails to take. Your hike looks perfect! Could you share a listing of which trails you took and the mileage? I'm assuming you did a loop?

Slow down on your easy runs. Easy means really easy, especially if you are prone to injury, as you said.

Daniels is a great introduction to the principles of training. Most modern training plans are based on Daniel's ideas, even if they emphasise one aspect above another, or have a different mix of different intensity levels to that suggested by Daniels.

R-pace is roughly your mile pace, T-pace is your lactate threshold pace, which is roughly what a person can hold for 1 hour. This relationship can be easily seen for Vdot=54, where T-pace is 4:00/km and the predicted 15k time is 59:30 or 3:58/km, the 2s difference is probably from rounding. I-pace is 3k pace (when Vdot=37 or lower) to 5k pace (when Vdot is 70 or higher).

You ran too fast for your fitness lvl dude!

Who?

btw. It's a bit of a stretch to label yourself as a "beginner runner", and then go ahead and choose the Gold Elite Plan from the book, I would argue!

Great insights you shared, thanks a lot! I Started out reading "Advanced Marathoning" by Pete Pfitzinger and Scott Douglas, but I really felt there was something missing in that book? Don't get me wrong though it's an absolutely great book to start out with. It covers everything running related, and gets pretty sciency as well (which I really love!). I then thought that I might just try out Daniels' Running Formula, and I have just gotten myself a printet copy of the 2nd edition ;) And I'm really looking forward to reading it! Cheers 8D

Love the video, headed with family. Want to do this loop. What was the exact trails and turn points? Thanks so much

One of my favorite WV backpacking areas. Was there mid-April 2022 and it snowed 6". Going back this Sunday 6/19/2022

About to start following Jack Daniels' training principles, wish me luck.

I've actually never been to this park. Your footage is great, I'll definitely need to check it out. I'll also need to plan my trip so I'm not going on a day that's totally crowded. I've subscribed to your channel to check out your other hiking videos. Thanks for sharing!

what a great place to run at, awesome views

This was an excellent synopsis! I base a lot of my coaching principles off Jack Daniels...I know he has a new edition and I'm hoping to pick it up. Agree with you that 3 quality sessions for a beginner is too much in most situations, but for more experienced runners that 6-day weekly layout works well. And all the yes to doing strides!! How's your running going 1.5 years later??

Oh tell them Charlie’s youngest boy sent you

Nice video thanks bro I grew up about 5 miles from there on the NC side…. Next time there drive down the NC side to Glen Arye just before you get there about a mile from glen arye there is a culvert under the road to your right you will see a small house sitting below road level and a open spot a car would fit going up to a field / garden area …. Knock on the door and ask permission to go to the water falls … Your welcome …. Best specked trout fishing on the Mtn enjoy

Hey Christopher! Just subbed your channel to support a fellow TH-cam vlogger and hiker out there. Was looking to do this hike and came across your video. People are saying there is a shorter route where you can park and hike up. Trying to find that route as I will be in the area with not so much time. Looking forward to following along with your channel and watching more videos. ~RVA Hiker Girl~

Wicked video mate. Convinced me that it’s worth buying the book!

When he paused and sipped that drink was funny to me

Wondered to your channel after a fb group was suggesting this park. I searched and your channel came up. Great video and I've subbed to continue following your journey. Do you mainly stay in va?

Chris what happened are you still running

Mr. Hu, we miss you.

that little stream crossing so funny. First time?Great area was just there again.nice little area.

I live in the boro and this is 20 miles from my house and it’s a hidden gem of a place to visit been there at least 50 times and when I was younger and dumb climbed the giant bolder

can i get the pdf link of that book?

Interval pace is 3k or 100% vo2 max pace - 5k pace is 95% vo2 max

Thanks for video. I'm planning on being out that way next month and you have given me some good ideas for places to go. I appreciate it.

The Algorithm is BROKE! Sorry to shout, but dude you should blow up on youtube, great personality, good indepth talk about running, Thank you for sharing your experiences with Daniels Plan. It helps so much.
