Good points, well said. So many variables, 1st yr in seeing how silly a static training plan is. You gotta listen to your body and have multiple workouts memorized because most days you dont know what's up until a couple miles pass. Of course dont neglect your goal needs just saying somedays a certain workout (intervals, hills etc) could setback the entire week or more if the body wants a day off or some slow easy mileage.
You’re a tank! I’ve dropped off from running lately because sidewalks are so icy up here in Canada but I’ve stepped up my bike game with Zwift indoors. At least there’s that but I miss nice runs like these ones! Keep it up!
I agree on the back to back long runs: we are not pro's who follow a strict training plan. I personally like back to back long runs because I know there are going to be periods that hardly allow for anything longer than 5 mile runs. Even the timing of the long runs is not "free", it very much depends on family and work schedules. I always look forward to two days that allow for many miles as there will be many resttimes to come :-)
Great video as always love your channel and so pleased to see how quickly you have grown full stop I think what you're talking about is the neural pathways they can deteriorate quite quickly which is why the first run after several days off feels a little bit and easy and then the next day you feel more fluid again comma they go a lot quicker than muscle tone obviously and it's something that I've become really aware of in the last couple of months.
Start running seriously only at 49, I try to keep a keen eye on my muscle and especially joint after a run, and after a couple of trials and errors, I kinda settled on two run a week schedule. I'm just amazed that you can run almost every day 😲😲😲
I have some weekend that has a sort of back to back long run. For example I will do a 14km to 16km on saturday and a Longer fast finish run on Sunday (25km to 30km). I also believe that our muscle will remember how to push through with tired legs. I only do it once every month.
Great tips... I've bonked both my marathons as well and really trying to prevent that this October in Chicago. Do you think your approach of consecutive long-ish runs of different types helped you get over that hump?
@@kofuzi Agreed... it's a mental barrier to overcome that pain. Also, the Hanson's plan, actually a popular one for advanced marathoners, promotes back-to-back long runs instead of the 1 long run on the weekend.
@@kofuzi, sorry then, I assumed that when hearing from you about training at low rates ... anyway you may find interesting to have a look at his website.
I don't think I'd put a 20 miler or anything even longer than a half marathon after a tough workout. But it just gets hard to devote more than an hour for my midweek runs sometimes.
i'm not really a fundraising expert, and i personally detest doing it. it's one of the reasons why i started my daily charity runner spotlight. perhaps if you want to tell me about some of the things you tried, i might be able to be of some assistance? also, feel free to send me your fundraising page link and any tweets, facebook posts, or instagram posts you used to ask your networks for help. you can reply here or you can email them to me at ko.mike at gmail
Lovely sunrise!Pure blessing.Thanks.
it was quite a sight
Love it mate, another great video, you are an essential part of my daily TH-cam running video watch list 😃
I'm flattered.
hansons training plans have back to back long runs and it worked well for me
it's not an idea that i made up, for sure. i recall hearing in a rambling runner podcast that hansons plans use back to back long runs.

I like to think of training in terms of weeks not days.

Thanks so much!

that need it
Head is a bit foggy. Realized that I forgot that part once I had already published
@@kofuzi how could you! unsubscribbed!! lol it happens, i feel you i had a rough run this weekend as well 25k trail run got me
@@kofuzi unsubscribed!!
@@Lazarky9 i think KC Diaz is kidding. he's been around here for a while
Been thinking similarly as well with all this. Currently training for the LA Marathon; thanks for the dope content as always man.
good luck with the marathon!

A good way to think of it. I know we can't store up on miles for later, but I still try
Great video!!
thanks!

there always so much to learn about how our bodies respond
Start running seriously only at 49, I try to keep a keen eye on my muscle and especially joint after a run, and after a couple of trials and errors, I kinda settled on two run a week schedule. I'm just amazed that you can run almost every day 😲😲😲
it took me a while to get here. about three years ago, i was at three or four runs per week. gradually, it's been increasing.
Remember when we were kids and ran 10 min x2, then 30min x1 everyday during school?
I’m nostalgic and amazed at my running capacity during that time.
I have some weekend that has a sort of back to back long run. For example I will do a 14km to 16km on saturday and a Longer fast finish run on Sunday (25km to 30km). I also believe that our muscle will remember how to push through with tired legs. I only do it once every month.
i always feel extra accomplished when i can run a marathon over a weekend
I Run back to backs getting ready for ultras I will do a 25 followed by a 20. You have to get used to running on tired legs.
whoa. that's a bigger back to back than i've ever done. that's for sure. impressive
Very interesting. I give you the same compliment like yesterday. :-)
thank you!
Sunrise gives you boost stamina in your runs 👍
Good for the soul
Yeah I run Fri Saturday Sunday and a shorter fast run on Tuesday or Wednesday. Who has time during week?
I'm planning of getting a pair of vomeros and hoping that they will help when I increase my mileage this year.
for me, the vomeros excel at long steady state runs
I think I'll try your theory out.
Good luck!
Thanks

It's been one heck of a ride
Agreed
How do you feel the day after a back-to-back long(ish) runs like these? Extra fatigue?
i usually take a rest day or have a very short run.
i feel sore in a good way.
Great tips... I've bonked both my marathons as well and really trying to prevent that this October in Chicago. Do you think your approach of consecutive long-ish runs of different types helped you get over that hump?
It did. And it helped with confidence too. The Wall is as much mental as it is physical

that's what i've heard
I assume you are already familiar with Dr. Maffetone books and knowledge.....a real discovery fro me.

I don’t do my long runs back to back something to consider bro for me 🤔

Yo what's going on? 😁
Sorry I forgot!
was this a 55+ mile week? beast
48
This is a lot of running intense exercise, i think it will make you over fatigue?
fatigue, yes. over fatigue? we'll see
Hey Kofuzi, what's the coldest weather ( tempature wise) you have ever run in?
i used to think it was -2F. but i recently looked back at a video where i mentioned that the air temp was -10F
What is your average time in 10k?
Many of my runs are right in the 10k range. I usually run them around 8:15 or 8:00. I should probably slow it down for a bit
@@kofuzi 8:00 min per kilometer?
So 1hr 20mins in your 10k daily run?
Jolyn Salgado na man, kofuzi does mile times so that would be around a 4:55-5:03 minute kilometer 😉
So around a 50 minute 10km
@@tinylittleanj2 ok thx
@@tinylittleanj2 yup. that sounds about right.
how do runners get charity money i tried really hard to get money for a 10k race i made £60 and £50 of that was my prize winnings
