It would really improve the podcast viewing experience if the editors could put up images in the videos when someone is talking about something that needs to be visualized, or references an athlete not everyone might be familiar with. Like at 22:34, when Andy was talking about the 100m race, or 26:20 when referring to a piece of Strava art. I've wished for this multiple times over many episodes. The MKBHD podcast is an example of one that does this and it really helps give context to what they're talking about.
As a fairly speedy runner that is used to hills, there is zero shame in walking a hill. "Strategic powerwalking" is a solid strategy on the borderline runnable hills, particularly in longer races. Countless times I have been able to finish a race strong, overtaking many, because I have conserved muscles and energy by breaking stride and walking the hills.
I take planning my long tuns far too seriously. I have three tabs open on my laptop: a GPX editor, Google Maps; and the council public rights of way map. I can spend a couple of hours finessing the route so I get a nice loop that is scenic and just the right distance.
My normal 5k route has 110m elevation.... 😬 (Not the fittest runner, but want to train for the next skitouring season, and yes - it would be no problam to create a 5k route with maybe 20m elevation max.). Cheers from Switzerland
After accidentally bimbling to half-marathon distances and beyond in my 10k training I've just signed up to my first official half marathon race. With you, TRC, in Malaga 13-16 Dec 2024 (I'll arrive a day earlier to get a few museums and geocaches in as well). Can't wait to escape the dreary German winter! Haven't set a time-goal yet. Something between 1:45 and 1:59:59 sounds just fine with me. :-)
I enjoy the process of planning runs. I also enjoy going out without an exact route in mind. Both are running and so are awesome. I wouldn’t have said this on my last interval session where I didn’t plan the route and ended up doing 2x2k up a long steep hill
I was sick over Christmas, too a long time to get over it and get my fitness back up. Wasn’t able to follow a programme. Just decided to go out 3-4 times a week, I had max 90 mins (slow) 2 of the days. I kind of just did it to feel and found it really really helped
north london has hills - from Camden to hamstead heath: a 3kmdistance uphill run and multiple little hills ine hamsptead heath, not to mention primrose !
I did Endure 24 last week too. I used an adapted Running Channel marathon training plan and found having runs planned helped to get out of the door when I didnt always feel like it. I dont usually run on my own but got used to it with a plan to follow. Endure was brilliant and I expect to see Andy there next year...
I started a AI plan on my watch app 6 weeks ago and it's great. Easy runs, hitt runs and walk runs and it's helped me stay motivated and improve my pace and endurance. Took 1 minute off my. 5k pb. Following a plan is more enjoyable for me as a beginner runner. Just making it up gets boring for me and I don't keep it up.
This podcast made me think I really need to be comfortable with not knowing where your going because on race day you think you may know the route but could feel longer or could change for whatever reason. Learnt that the hard way at the weekend and completely lost the mental game because the turn around just seemed so far away because I read the map wrong. When I train I know exactly where I’m going and what km should be at along the route.
I follow the suggestions on my Garmin most days (having set a race helps it target them for a specific distance), so I go out with a plan most of the time. I only vaguely plan a route in areas I know, but in new areas I meticulously plan a route ahead of time. I find improving my times is what motivates me. Set a 10K of 47:40 in May, and aiming for at least sub 45 this autumn. Got 20:39 for 5K the other week, so now I'm also hoping to get under 20 soon
In terms of the warn out buttons on Andy's old watch, I assume Set and Mode are on the opposite side to Start and Split, so when pressing the Start or Split button you are also pressing on the Set or Mode label on the other side for leverage - therefore the Start and Split are the most used as expected
I plan my runs up to 9 months in advance. I like routine so I’ll have routine runs Monday to Thursday. Easy runs are always the same route and I run by feel. Then I can look back and see how I was feeling at that time based on my easy run pace. Friday is a long run where I’ll have a direction that I’ll head in, run for half the time required, then try and find a different route home. Going for a run not knowing the pace, time or distance just seems like chaos
Occasionally I used to do 'Forrest Gump runs'. I'll pick a destination, run to it, decide there if I'm going to continue and repeat by picking a new destination. Lately I've been using the HITTA app (not sure if it works in the UK) where you run to checkpoints like a capture the flag game but there are no exact routes (a bit of orienteering)
Keep a vague structure, depending on niggles or 'man flu'. In a week - easy shortish and easy longish (most of the time), shortish efforts and longish efforts, strength and conditioning (every other day). Parkrun (to be happy!).
I'm an avid listener of the podcast, but I feel like TRC missed a golden opportunity. Why wasn't "Last Man on Earth" played as outro music for this episode? 🤔
So good to hear I'm not the only one who hates hills 😅 Hills are my demon when running but sadly unavoidable especially in many running events. I'm definitely going to have to do some hill training in preparation for The Great North Run in September! 🙄
@Therunningchannel How about a bit on route paralysis? Where you have so much trouble deciding on your route and what you feel like that you just end up...not bothering. Or doing neighborhood laps. Also, less of a concern with running, but cycling I will often build my routes to hit as many Strava segments as I can within a distance/time. Not necessarily going for KOMs, but those Local Legends are mine, dangit.
Without choosing a route for the run purpose, I could end up running 3km longer and 100m higher with just one little turn onto another road. Or having a run with a little climbing segment in the middle.
I live in Devon, our 'flat' still includes inclines, if you don't want to run the same routes every run or always run on a track, then well get ready for some nasty inclines XD. 150m-200m elevation is very easily achieved here...
With you! Basically just quit running after moving down here, just all hills! I imagine it’s great for you if you can cope with the hills, which I can not
i usually plan my runs , because of my mental health , if i want to do 5k i wld do my local parkrun , if i want to do 10k , i will just do the run norwich course , i am thinking about doing a run , and i know the first 8.5k , but after that i know where im going , but i dont know how far it will be , i have a distance in mind , but not sure it will be long enough
I dunno what y'all are making so much fun of: I think "Last Man on Earth" is a fine song. Captures the vibe of the era. Well played, Rick! And good luck kicking that folliculitis!
I’d love a podcast about what the drop # means on running shoes and the advantages or disadvantages of low versus high and is that something we should take into consideration when buying running shoes. If you have already done one on this subject let me know and I’ll go back again and look. Hope you consider the topic if you haven’t. Thanks for all the great content you provide I really enjoy them
Was "The last man on earth" inspired by the words "not if you were" preceeding it many times in Ricks younger days? Or is it more of an anthem for all the parkrun tailwalkers? (only joking)
hills... 😂 Most of my runs have at least 1000m of ascent, I don't even have anywhere flat to run unless I go to the running track and run round in circles (ovals).
Rick, based on listening to your song, I would advise sticking to podcasting, but having listened to your podcasts for quite a while, I’ll say stick to the singing….

Always a good day when there’s a new The Running Channel Podcast! 🏁🏃🏽🏃🏻♀️
We love that you listen to us on your long runs! How far did you go?
Perfect length episode for my 4 mile easy run loop. Now I just need an episode for tomorrow’s Sunday long run day
I’ve been doing Garmin’s daily suggested workout last 3 weeks and love it! It helps me stay consistent and not think myself out of running! 🏃

I am going add the last man on earth to my long easy run Playlist. It sounds great. 👍🏽👊🏽
Geezus Sarah! You haven't seen the movie Gladiator? Its a cinematic masterpiece, worthy of your time, you'd really enjoy it.

3000 meters of elevation? I think your confusing Camden with the lake district.
@@steven7169 i meant the distance sorry nlot height elevation
@thegreekrunner I used to live in Finsbury Park, it is hilly around there.
Irish mixed relay team got gold as you say and only 1.12 seconds off the world record
The Irish commentary is brilliant
Ran one of them north London hills recently… 8m elevation over 3k

as an American, Andy’s pronunciation of Houston killed me 😭
Sorrrry 😂😂
As a German, I have to agree. The way he pronounced it sounded like the German word "Husten" (= cough) 😂😂😂
As a Texan who lives near Dallas, I’m ok with it ;)
For my distance-based runs I have to plan my routes because my GPS is so dire! My watch will say I ran 10k but the map will say only 8k 😭
Without choosing a route for the run purpose, I could end up running 3km longer and 100m higher with just one little turn onto another road. Or having a run with a little climbing segment in the middle.
Hi Andy! Can you share the link to the message that you mentioned? Thanks
Superb podcast as always, including a guest appearance from the one and only Last Man on Earth 😂🎉❤
Alice Cooper sings a song called Last Man on Earth 👌 now I need to compare with Ricks song
Never mind Rick wanting to swap sides - that is definitely Andy's best angle!

That’s very fair 😂
Don't let the robots win.
Welcome to the cult
I did this for quite a while with pretty decent results!
If it makes Sarah feel better I only saw Gladiator for the first time about two weeks ago 😂 would highly recommend!
Felt like i was watching the video flipped 😂😂😂
The watch is the evil doer. Run without the watch and you can just run happy. No timez no distance. For me that is.
So glad that works for you!

Guys! the hills in Hampstead in North London are super steep, its almost impossible to have a flat run :P
