Great video. I appreciate so much of this and it just reiterates why I value you as a coach and your use of Training Peaks. Keep up the good work and know that with your help I will get to Boston in the next few years.
And this is why keeping a (old school) journal is so very important. After every run (even the night before a run) document how you felt during your warm-up, how the run went, were you feeling tired and how did you adjust on the run, were you feeling like you had rockets in your legs and how did you capitalise on that. It not only brings clarity to your run day, but it also allows you to draw on past examples. So many times I've come back from a run feeling like I just couldn't give any more but then I read about the tough week/harder week I had, or, I can go back to a time when I felt/performed the same, and then read that just the next week I ran a PB. Documenting your runs puts them into perspective and, as is mentioned in this video, it keeps you honest.
Great advice. Before a big race I always I read back on my diary entries from past races. Especially, those where I've done well. Helps me realize that I pretty much never feel 100%.
@@drwilloconnor That last sentence, I definitely hear that. I'd say more often than not I'm not feeling 'on it', which I guess in a way is a good thing because you have to work out a way to get through, adjust your expectations. Comes in handy on race day if you feel the same. Two Sundays ago I didn't run in the morning, then had an unplanned sleep in the afternoon. Woke up and felt great. Went out for a half-marathon tempo run and felt like I had rockets in my legs and I completely smashed the run. Those days I cherish like a fine wine.
That's really good to hear. I love the whiteboard style. I find it way easier to convey information than a fully scripted video with lots of editing. I’ll be able to get out a lot more content this way.
Random question for anyone: what should your heart rate be while running a marathon race? For a 5km race I know it’s short so heart rate will get up to 180 and maybe 190 for much of the race.
can someone check if these metrics actually possible recently i did some tests to see where im at ive been training for about 1.5 year without any equipment and recently bought a chest strap heart rate monitor and my stats seems abit too crazy my resting heart rate is 49 my heart rate recovery is 50 max heart rate is 204 and i just maintained 194bpms for 30 minutes i dont really have any other equipment to test other stuff, i do shadowboxing as cardio chatgpt says that these numbers are really impressive ill start training seriously i think and please do tell me if im just getting my hopes up for no reason and heart rate stats dont mean anything lol
He’s back!

That was a great reality check for me as I'm getting over another calf strain. Thanks mate 😊👍🏃🚴🇦🇺
One of your very best videos - many thanks! Greetz from Europe

@ The good old whiteboard. It reduces the pace… of speech 😉 and makes it less hectic / easier to understand.
Thank you

Good to hear
Loving the content as always

Ballpark would be 155 - 165 bpm. Check out my last video on training zones.

Step 1, stop getting hung over. The best improvement you will ever make to your running and fitness.
Haha that one was easy to figure out but took a couple of years to sink in!
@drwilloconnor it has clearly done you a lot of good in your performance. It's probably a good point to push for your subscribers and followers.
