    This video is spot on brother. Everything. I love the fact you always incorporate life advice in with running because it goes hand and hand. Your stress and other things directly impact your running.
    And yeah, I used running as a stress reliever to life and it helped tremendously. I also have a non profit organization called Good Brotha which does work within my community. Within the non profit I started an unofficial run club called “You Vs You” every Wednesday and we have our community come out in numbers.
    Thanks to you vs you, we were able to land opportunities within two schools as a vendor (contractor) where we run with them and do other forms of mentoring.
    Yeah, all in all, running has changed my life for the greater and now I want to up my running game to sub elite level and go from there.
    I dont really do interval runs, I do progessive and tempo runs and hilly 20 mile long runs on sunday. Its been working wonders for me.
    At the cusp of being able to run a 6:40 per mile pace for 10+ miles.
    Sorry for the long message brother haha I am introverted and I can talk about running for hours. 🤝🏾

      Honestly, absolutely incredible reading that. Couldn't agree more with the running/life lessons and especially strong for kids. As you know it can really make the difference. 🤝

    Great video as always,
    Running and training is great for my mind but I have a slight injury so I’ve been hitting 30k steps a day I’m training for a marathon can walking still be sufficient for the time bein for training

  • @swaginfinite9165

    Hi, I am curious, for your sunday long runs, do you always do them with faster sections like marathon pace in them, or do you sometimes run long slow easy in zone 2 from start to finish too? If you do, what percentage of your long runs are completely in zone 2?
    Thank you!

    • @leegrantham
      @leegrantham  4 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      During a build up to a specific training schedule targeting a key race, I'll either shorten the long run and do something like 25km steady (20% slower than marathon pace), or longer 2-3 hours, lsd in zone 2. During the final 10-12 weeks, every long run is specific.

      @@leegrantham same here, I always have to have something going on in my long run, otherwise it's just mentally taxing for me to just keep the same ol' slow pace for 90min+. Even if I'm staying at a "steady" pace, where my HR is maybe 5-10bpm lower than what I can hold for a marathon, it feels so much better than just doing it slow and intentionally in zone 2. It's also just mentally fortifying to up the pace a bit so that you actually feel like you're running instead of jogging, and to try to push up against the lower level of your LT2 a bit to try to be more efficient in that zone just under LT2. Also, whenever I do one of those 2hr long runs (like I did yesterday), I take a day off, and then my next run feels absolutely amazing, and my next speed session is spot on.

    6:50 - such a huge truth brother. I always wince at the thought of sticking just for the sake of social cohesion despite the fact that this is what our parents taught us to do in ex-communist countries. It's so important to have the emotional independence and strength to be self-sufficient and build your own world and epistemology

    Do you think 1 long run/ 1 interval with some zone 2 cycling would be good enough to replace the easy runs (so only running twice per week in total no easy/recovery)? I know you’ve previously said they’re really important but I feel like my legs just get so beat up if there’s an interval in there and would rather not run at all for a few days. Not looking to be an elite running just a 5k park run in 20 mins

    • @leegrantham
      @leegrantham  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I'd really try to do atleast one recovery run, even walk/run for 25-30 minutes will really help the overall week. Ideally 2 recovery runs.

    • @leegrantham
      @leegrantham  4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Cycling will definitely help aid recovery for running, but it just won't replace it.

    i also run a lot and rarely join races. last race i had was before covid lockdown. i run 120km a week and it feels high enough but not too high so it is sustainable for me. my schedule looks like this
    M 21.5km: 5km wu, 5x1km @vo2max with 500m jog, 6x300m @milepace with 450m jog, 4.5km cooldown
    T 16km easy
    W 16km easy, or with 10x8secs hill sprints in the middle if my legs feel good
    Th 21.5km: 5km wu, 3x3km @threshold with 400m jog, 6x200m @milepace with 300m jog, 3.5km cooldown
    F 16km easy
    Sat 30km
    Sun rest day
    i don't really have goal time in mind but i want to get faster (who doesn't?) what would be your advice to change in my routine?

      Thanks, Matt, I think getting people into running, especially kids is important - or any sport. Great life lessons, etc. If someone gets to a level/hits a ceiling and wants to go higher, that's another thing as it's so individual.
