Excellent video. I hardly did anything strength training for my first half marathon block. I use to lift regularly but being new to running I was always too sore and focused on recovery. I got 4 weeks till my race but for my next full marathon block I'll def do strength training as I'll be more adapted especially in the build phase.
Great advice . . . *recruit more muscle fiber* with hills and gym workouts like squats and leg presses and the rubber band around your ankles swinging your legs out to the side. Everything mentioned here. Work'm all :o) Jump Rope! . . .
Hi Nathan. Don’t know if you have much experience in this area but I’ll try to relate it to strength training since this is a strength video :). I live at altitude and want to run a PR at sea level (half marathon). I’ve raced at sea level before after having lived at altitude and know the pace differences for me, but haven’t raced at sea levels for years, but have made some work trips to places at sea level and done some workouts lately. I always feel like my “heart is out running my legs”. My HR is low but it’s hard to physically get my legs to run the equivalent pace I know I should be running at sea level (20 secs faster per mile than altitude). I’ve been consistent on strength training lately, as well as adding in more strides to workouts and so on. Do you think more strength training is the key? What else?
I don't necessarily think more strength training will do the trick as much as running a higher percentage of your weekly mileage at or below anaerobic threshold pace will. Of course, training at altitude you REALLY have to make sure you are jogging on those recovery days to ensure you adapt to the harder, anaerobic workouts you are doing. I lived and trained in colorado springs, colorado (elev:6050+ft) so totally understand where you are coming from. Altitude definitely is a form of strength training especially compared to sea level training. Keep up the superior work brother.
Ran 7of my 14 miles at a 6:22 pace. This is my goal marathon pace. This was run in 75 degree temps and 80% humidity. Is it a good idea to shoot for 2:45? I’m currently on day 40/84 of this block
Absolutely, it is definitely possible..6:22 pace for 7 mile straight shows you are in immense fitness and you dropped 14 miles too in less than ideal conditions, imagine what 40-50 degree temps will do for that effort. Keep up the superior work. You are FIT.

Dead lifts, Bulgarian split squats and calf raises as heavy as you do 6-8 reps 4-5 sets will bullet proof you for long distance running.
👊👊👊💪💪💪💪
Why only 6-8 reps?
Thank you for sharing this important information with us.
Glad it was helpful! 🙏🙏🙏🙏💪😍😍
YES to dry needling!
