    A tip I recently heard in a video by Stephen Scullion: when training for a marathon you only need to deliver the marathon pace on race day, you don't need to try and hit it constantly on every training run!

    • @dimitar297
      @dimitar297 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Which is lame how are you supposed to hit race pace if you never practice it. Steven has emotional problems that affect his good sense.

      @@dimitar297 A lot of people confuse race pace with race effort. You're usually much more tired during training (you should be), and conditions can vary a lot, hitting that actual race pace is not as important as you think, and should be done very sporadically. If you look at the Norwegian model, you'll quickly realize how much little importance they give to actual race pace, and give zero importance to anything faster than race pace. They're much more focused on threshold, sustained high mileage and not getting injured.

    Hi Ben thanks for another great video full of good advice. One thing you didn’t mention is age. I’m 62 and have found over the last few years that the key to my running longevity is routine and rest. I run twice during the week on a Tuesday and Thursday about 5 miles each then my long run on Saturday usually 9/10 miles and I do this week in week out and don’t specifically train for a race anymore I just stick to my routine and when one comes along I just go and do it and try not to get caught up with any target goals. Just run and enjoy the event. I’ve found this routine keeps my fitness level where I like it and my body responds well to the rest in between runs and I’m hoping this will keep me running for longer as I grow older.
    Great work thank you.

    i run for my mental health, that is my goal to metaphorically and physically tell myself to keep going, don't stop just continue.
    my recovery is always reusable ice packs with straps for my shins mostly and my leg muscles.

  • @ephorntube
    @ephorntube 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    Thanks for upbeat run videos! Not really a tip, but an observation that I’m copying: I’ve noticed Woody Kincaid and Luis Grivjala take smaller steps for most of their race and open up for the finish. My mind was blown when I went back to the 70s and saw a similar gate in a particular runner. It was Lasse Viren! So I suspect they are saving their quads with a higher turnover and less up and down (knee bending- quad engaging) strides to conserve energy. I’m giving it a go!

    Jakob and his brothers were seen training in Oslo after midnight after he took the European record on Bislett this year. They train after every race. They never have rest days. The dedication is brutal.

    Nice Ben. Can totally vouch for the knowing when to rest. I'm nearly at the end of your advanced half marathon plan, racing next weekend. I got a fairly painful left knee issue last week, where my lower leg and ankle swelled up quite badly. Took a four day rest from running, but kept stretches and strength work and now I'm back on track and looking forward to smashing my pb next Saturday. Mark

    Hello! thank you for all the info about running. Im a triathlete, done some Ironmans, but this year ive been running more, and no swimming, because after all this years in triathlon, my weakest part was always the run. Slow, slow progress, but watching all of your videos has helped me a lot. Thank you. Cheers from Colombia!

    Nice one, another nicely crafted video. As an old git who ran 2:25.35 marathon in 1983 you would shake your head at my running back in the '80s! Never did any drills, never did any strides, 2 pints of lager did the trick immediately after a half or marathon. Never had massages. Rarely trained with anyone else. And of course no carbon shoes back then. No GPS support. No apps. Yes we had stopwatches but would measure long runs on a map with a length of string! All races 100%. No gym work..Just 12 sessions running each work. 70/80/90 miles per week. First marathon 2.47 age 25......couple of dozen more around 2.30 Last one 2.50 at age of 49 then no more as wanted "to preserve" my speed. Ran 34.56 at age 50 following year.

    Good stuff! A good marathon tip I heard a couple years back was to eat the night before dinner a couple hours earlier than usual. Then you have more time to get your digestion sorted out well before the race....as race mornings typically begin quite early! I shoot for a dinner between 4 and 5 PM. Then just some light snacking up until bedtime.

    • @dimitar297

  • @nmmerri
    @nmmerri 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    My inspiration from a pro runner is from Alexi Pappas who said you should get eight nights' sleep per week if you're training hard. What she means is, if you are supposed to get eight hours' sleep per night (56 hours per week) but average 64 hours per week, you are getting the equivalent of an extra night's sleep each week.
    I've done the maths and you basically need to average 9:09 per night. I have a spreadsheet to track this but almost never make it but it does challenge me to improve.

    You are right Ben.. im also one of the guilty for using Strava.. i see so many semi-pro runners that running their "easy days" with their so called "easy pace" as jogging around 4:00/km to 5:00/km... which are definitely not in my range yet.. and then i would have to pay for what i done by steping into zone i could not handle..

    @ollieflj 10 หลายเดือนก่อน +2

    Another great video, Ben! Thank you for sharing! I wonder if you have any advice regarding paces for intervals. What's the best way to train ourselves how different paces feel so we can hit them from the begining of reps. I always start a rep, trying to make sure I'm not too fast, or too slow, but by the time my GPS has caught up to the pace I am running I may be 30 seconds in, usually meaning I have gone off too fast without knowing. Then I'm trying to slow down, and consuming all my mental energy in trying to hit the right pace. If you have any tips that would be great!

    Good tips on the basics. I noticed that your upper body seems very stiff and locked when you run. Is that on purpose or is it your natural biomechanics? If you see a runner like Kipchoge there is also movement thorough his upper body to provide energy trough his whole body. Maybe worth looking at.

    Regarding the first one about running form i would disagree that pro runners think about form. Henrik Ingebrigtsen and Narve Nordås (third in the 1500 world champs) was interviewed on a norwegian podcast(i det lange løp) one month ago and both of them said that running form never crosses their mind at all.

    The data we have now can be helpful and harmful. Don't choose heart rate, schedule or pace/interval time over how you feel. If you feel tired sluggish you need rest or at least a more gentle workout. If you feel great then stick to the plan don't over achieve in one workout only to fail for the next 6 days or weeks
