Thank you for this video. Definitely relatable. I’m HM training. My 10k PR was technically done during a HM this year. Ran a 10k race this weekend. I ran the exact same time, without tapering, in +30 degree warmer and +60% humidity weather and didn’t run at 100%. But I wasn’t running a 100% 10k when I set the PR either because it was during a HM. I don’t know if I’m in the same or better shape
Can be hard to say, but I think it's a very encouraging sign. You tied your PR at a sub-maximal effort in hot conditions, without training specifically for a 10k or tapering? I'd say a VERY good sign!!
@@jp05598 I forgot the first one had 2 significant hills though. This weekend was flat. So hills+ 50 degree weather 30% humidity or flat+ 80 degrees w/ 98% humidity.
Great Video Coach JF. If I may add , our Resting Heart rate is very indicative if we have adequate recovery. In my case my resting HR will be sub 50 ( 46-49 ) when I push intensity frequently it sits higher 50’s low 60’s. After an easy day or rest back to high 40’s
Not gonna lie, didn't grow up running so I never really learned how fast progress is made. I assumed I could make some quick time drops but I was mistaken 😬
Thanks for this Jason. I've been running more seriously as a middle-ager for 3 years now, and I've been through a lot of the ups and downs. In the current marathon build (race in 10 days), I've appreciated the value of time trials, to check in on my performance on a given route every couple of weeks. I've also gotten more comfortable with polarized paces, with quality work one day knowing that the following day or two I'll embrace a really slow pace that would have disappointed me back when I didn't understand how training worked. A big HM PR in the course of this build has been a great confidence boost, and now I train with head held high.
Usually you wouldn’t want to do that at all. If training for a 5k you should do a time trial of a shorter distance at your goal pace. If you can do it then you can likely run the rest of the distance on race day. So if you want to run a 20 min 5k go try and run a 12 minute 3k or 16 minute 4k. This way you get used to the pace, get a good workout, and keep it short of a race effort so that you can recover quickly
Recently at age 43 I found out via MRI that my suspected hamstring strain was actually nerve pain due to disc problems in my back. So now my running is very limited to what it used to be, and I don’t think it’ll be possible to improve on any of the PRs I set since running my first 5k in April, 2017. My goal now is to stay healthy enough to run a few times per week and still do some races here and there.
I’m not sure that your first tip (being able to complete all your workouts) is a goood sign that you’re on track at all, it may simply mean that the workouts are too easy for you and therefore that there is no stimulus for adaptation that leads to improvement.

30 degrees warmer? You’re prob in better shape. Will be able to confirm for sure as temps cool into the 50s

Good content, but could you turn the music down? It makes it difficult to hear what you're saying. :)

Ah yes, another good indicator!

This should be one of your podcast episodes Jason!
Good idea!

So good info thank you so much Ive been feeling too loaded and if I keep training my mileage Im gonna injure myself :(
When training for a 5K... how often should you do a timed trial of a 5k to see if I'm moving in the right direction?
I do it once a month but it messes up with my training for the rest of the week if not 2 weeks after.. Just my 2 cents.
Usually you wouldn’t want to do that at all. If training for a 5k you should do a time trial of a shorter distance at your goal pace.

Great video. I also noticed and airfares the simulated cuts when you shifted the camera angle back and forth - production value!

Really helpful and timely as think I've been overdoing it a bit lately.
Great video

To me the hardest part of the traing are easy runs, i cant handle it
