What I would struggle with is how to keep up the neccessary volume with 2 or 3 non running days (gym and rest). It seems like I can only achieve my volume goals when I'm putting in 5, 6, or 7 running days. Any advice?
This good but where’s the detail what are the times/paces for these runs? 90 mins is a significant distance what pace are you doing that in? Plus you’re in the gym twice could one of those be replaced with a swim? What’s the interval break down? Thanks 👍
Could you do one on how to build up to running a 5k? I’ve been trying with the NHS C25k app but I keep getting stuck on week 6 when the run jumps from a 5 minute run interval to an 8 minute run interval. I repeat week 5 for a few weeks, to attempt to build my aerobic base but that jump is just too big for me, I give up running and then I have to start from week one again in 6 months time on my next attempt.
I did all my C25K on a treadmill at the gym. That way I could keep the run flat and at a constant/comfortable speed, which helps when trying to control breathing. If jogging slightly faster than walking is what it takes to make it through the course then that's still a win.
I've just switched to running outside and my legs keep getting super sore especially my calves. But I've been forced to take 2-3 days off between runs and on the treadmill I was running 10k everyday I don't get it
You might need to target your calves to build up the strength and tendon stiffness you need for outdoor running. Are your outdoor runs flat or somewhat hilly?
Is a 90 min load on Sunday really a good idea? And 2 days gym a week? Not criticising, I'm genuinely worried I'm totally wrong on how to train for a 5km.
Your long run for a 5k or 10k should be an easy 1hour 15minutes conversation run. You can do strength work at home twice per WK nothing heavy or after a light run of 8k. Your most important days are track days twice per wk. Good runs🙏be safe👍
Honestly if you can do the same exercises at the gym with one rest day in between (that’s not even really a rest day because you‘re running), you‘re definitely not training hard enough.
It would be soo good to have a video on the gym routine that Andy is doing. I can always use inspiration for my sessions.
Would love to hear the details of your gym routine!
Good shout - me too.
Me too!
Weights can be good but you should consider plyometric work also. Even if its easy movements.
At least my Friday is on an Olympic level...
Friday is back to couch, popcorn and TV day
Thursday looks like too many beans on Wednesday 😂
Very similar to my weekly plan. Im using Garmin coach

Is your Sunday long run an easy run? Zone 2/3?
Tends to be in zone 3
@@runningchannel tnx mate!
What is your mileage when you train like this?

Instead of going from 5 minute to 8 minute intervals, go from 5 to 5:30, and increase by like 30 seconds every other day or time you feel ready
also, slow down! You might just be exhausting yourself with speed.
Yeah slow it down so it's a really slow jog.. you can build on speed after c25k

Run slower. This jump always killed me too. It never occurred to me to slow down but it got me past the block for the first time ever.
Thanks for the video! Surely you’re doing more than that?
We tend to follow Runna training plans which have great workouts
What zone is Your long rone in? Z2?
TRC responded to another commenter with same question, and the answer was that it tends to be Z3
2
Sounds good, I only have to quit working and leave my fam to do this routine!
Whats the interval split?
any tips for me,I'm really wanna achieve sub22
Easy run yes... But for how long and how much time is your "easy"

90 min in zone 3 is WAY TOO MUCH on Sunday, when you are only running 15-17 miles the rest of the week.
Tell that an Olimpian
@@monsieurcamembert5223 What is that?
I've never tried on a Sunday.
when do you?
@@runningchannel Saturday and Sunday are off days. Monday Friday.. retired Marine. Last 5k was 21:25.
wow, i am doing the same almost, just 1 gym session more as i am trying to build some muscle mass too as running is greatly reducing fat
Gym should be Monday and Thursday or Tuesday and Saturday
Way too long between Wednesday to Monday
i am a 6'10" strongman (mid-20s) will i ever be able to approach middle distance world records in life?
It would be unlikely, depending on how long and how professionally you have been training
If you can handle the elite training why not? But even for them it’s harder to keep on that track
So just..1 day off? Sound
Very normal for endurance training.

Too many easy runs and much time-wasting in the gym 😂🤣😜😄
If your are a beginner ignore all of this and just run
I'm losing fitness if I train this little🥲
