    Lee - just wanted to say thanks. Watch your videos every day, and just got a marathon PR today in Chicago. Likely will get into Boston. You've helped me add more structure, purpose, and motivation to being my best. Thanks again.

    We get stupid plastic cups that you can't even squeeze the top to hold the water in. Running at any speed it splashes out. I've run 3 marathons from 3:12 to 3:05 using a vest with 2x 600ml soft flasks but I trained with it also taking a sip every km mark. Now I'm trying to remove that and rely on a 500ml and 360ml soft flask in a naked belt. I can run a half marathon with no water and 1 gel but a marathon is a different beast.

      You're right. Different beast. I don't think I'll ever understand why races use cups, apart from cost saving. Useless.

    Hi Lee, i have simple question, maybe you talked about it in some of your previous videos (?): Can (should) the pace of my long run be the same as the pace of my easy run? (Suppose it is "normal" long run without tempo changes in between etc.) The only difference will then be in length (eg easy run 30-45min, long run 1:30-2:00h). Or should long run be little bit faster (not much) than easy run? Thank you.

    Last week I ran a PB in the 5k on Wednesday and PBs for the 10k and HM on my long run, cutting 12 minutes off my HM. Question: how much can one improve percentage-wise in a year? How would one structure their year to achieve such goals? Love your content. Be well.

      You've done a great job explaining how one can build a training block. Can I continue with back to back blocks of speed or should they be spaced out?

    Hey there Lee, I hope youre doing well! I was wondering about adding in a second speed session into my weekly straining as a replacement for the long run (on some weeks).
    I come more from a road marathon/ultra background and have run fairly high mileage weeks in preparation for those (120-150km/week).
    Right now im training for a half marathon but also want to improve my 5k/10k times and am running 80km a week. My long runs currently reach up to 23km with some quality work thrown in. I also do some 16km easy runs during the week and then a wednesday interval session. Basically, i want to maximize my speed as i feel the endurance is already there (at least for a half marathon-i can oretty much cover the distance on any given day if i needed to). So for some weeks, im thinking about skipping the long run and doing another interval session instead, any thoughts?

    There should be nothing new in your race. This may include but not limited to camel back, running belt, (new) socks, shoes, watch, and headset. And if not wearing them is something new, then you should wear them.

    Hi Lee, I’m currently 7 weeks out from Valencia Marathon - my first marathon. (My goal pace originally was 4:15 for a sub 3) but as you said, I’m starting to feel more confident so looking at adjusting goal pace to sub 2:55. Today’s long run sessions was 5k WU, 3x5 km at marathon pace with 1km float recovery, 5k CD. I decided to challenge myself and do a progressive session. I hit 4:12, 4:04 and 3:52 for each 5km block. Realistically should I be pushing myself for a sub 2:50?

    • @leegrantham
      @leegrantham  4 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

      this is a great question, I’d look at it like this, you have quite a significant amount of time for Valencia marathon and at the same time, your training is already indicating that you capable of way faster and sub free and as you’ve suggested towards 2.50. One big session that I like to do before a marathon is four times 5km at Marathon pace, and if I hit that I'm good to go. You've essentially done most of that but within a longer run.
      if I were you, I’d adjust all your training paces for 2.50 and see how you get on in the next 3 to 4 weeks. It definitely looks good, you're in a great spot!

      @@moayedatlas You're flying, enjoy it, but (I mean this in the best possible way), it's often when you're flying that you 1) overtrain or 2) get into injury risk. If you keep the sessions identical to what they would have been but increase the pace slightly (less than 2%, right!), you'll be fine.

    Hey Lee hows it going? Just had one of my WORST performances ever myrtle beach half, I feel like in last 2 years my running has went downhill and no matter what i do NOTHING seems help. I just ran myrtle beach half marathon today and had one of my worst performances ever and struggled last 3 miles with 1 hour 55 min, and what makes matters worse is it was in cold weather i normally thrive in colder weather. In nov 2021 i did personal best of 1 hour 44 min 45 seconds in half my all time PR.......fast forward year later in hot half myrtle beach 2022 i didint do as good but still did 8 15 pace half. In 2021 and 2022 i was only running 3-4 times week and running faster paces training and long runs even in summer 2022 i was getting faster paces in hot weather.........then end 2022 comes and i hear about the phil m method low heart rate so i start doing my long runs and most runs at 10 min 1030 paces thinking it would help and i feel like it has completely destroyed my racing speed power. I kept hearing how i was running my long runs to fast with 840-9 min paces and needed do 10 min paces and i feel like i was better with more quality miles and less run days. And todays half i had my worst performance years. My question bec im beyond frustrated with this sport.....should i go back to doing most my runs at 8-9 min paces and long runs faster and trying increase my v 02 max and stride? I just dont feel like slow pace running everyday helped. Now about to turn 40 i have another shot at half marathon in March........and im hoping i can finally break under 1 44.......should i start running more 8 to 830 min paces to try make 8 min paces feel easy eventually.........sorry i know this is long comment im just frustrated at this point. The low heart rate training didint seem work for me at all. Im also a bigger runner 5,9 190 so i feel like less mileage week more speed helps more. Im just down as runner at this point and wonder if just need work on SPEED SPEED SPEED for next 4 months 6 to 10 milers at faster paces speed and turnover

      thank you Lee! i cant take it anymore im fed up of putting in all the work at race day laying a giant egg.....i mean im glad i finish strong and all just ready to take it to next level. When i ran my best half marathon in nov of 2021 i did it on super hilly course ran 1 hour 44 m and 45 sec. I was running 3 times week month before that 2 8 to 10 milers at mostly 9 min or 850 paces and long runs 13-15 milers at 9-850 paces. Week before i did the 1 44, i did 14 miler at 8 50 pace 6 days out before race. Never touched a 10 min pace during that training month.
