    Focus on road racing and longer distances might enable you to find running gifts and performance that you weren’t aware of. Ari is a great example of this. His running was all over the map. He’s settled into a new thing and he’s knocking on some big doors. Do the track thing…cool. But you might find a whole new level of Spencer if you go to the road and longer distances.

    Great recap, and I'm happy to see you more consistent with the miles, that's gonna pay off in the long run. Don't be afraid to branch out of the 1500/mile on the track only world and have fun with whatever goals motivate you, we'll be along for the ride and excited to see you grow.

    Keep up your running and TH-cam videos, Spence. Even if you don’t PR or run great times, you’re an inspiration to me and many others. See where the best path leads you, and you’ll do great. I’ve always looked to compete in the shortest distance where I could find success (which meant I wished I had the speed to be a 60-meter dash star!). Due to my genetics, when I was younger that was the 800. Today, at 47 years old, that’s not really in the cards, but I’ve done decently at 5K road races. Whether you find success in the mile or the marathon, you’ll be fulfilled and have plenty of people watching your progress!

    Just as someone watching from the outside… I wouldn’t discount Ari’s coaching… his style of controlled training probably played a big impact in you logging the bigger miles and that road 5K PR no doubt came from that big aerobic development he helped you with 👍 I know you want the mile PR… but Aris approach is a sustainable long term approach that will bring those future road times right now… 14:21 is such a fast 5k time 👍

    thank you Spence, this is such a good reminder for an amateur runner like myself. i started to look back my mileage in the past 3 years and give me a lot of insights to why i am so stuck in my performance, which i am not consistent enough. in 2024, i will work on adding consistent mileage and weight training to build my muscle strength. cheers!

    Its nice to see that you are back on good point! Keep chasing your dreams. I definitely belive that you getting back your track speed and run sub 4 mile. Cant wait. Trust the plans that worked for you. Ones you got you speed on track you can always go for longer distance if you want. I v been similar situation. People said dont run 400/800m you have better potential 1500m and up. But I know Im able to run sub 1.50 in 800m. And when im done it, I move on. So keep chasing your goal even if other wont support you. You run not them. Sorry if my English not so good. :D

    Oh yeah! Consistency! Congrats on 2023!! Here's hoping 2024 is as, or more, consistent! Sounds like you're starting to sprinkle in some race-specific workouts (i.e., speed, baby!) and your base built by consistency should help you get those adaptions faster, healthier, and with less injury risk! (Man, you never know, though-every workout, every race, every interval, every person, every year, every month, every day is different; impossible to know exactly what will work!) Consistency's power is that you smooth out the valleys and, while the peaks are also not as high, you're starting from a higher elevation so, while the vert might not be as much, the ending elevation is the same or higher! Or, that's the theory. Still, you seem more satisfied in your videos with your running and your workouts, which breeds consistency, which breeds adaptation, and should get you moving to where you want to go. Keep kicking butt this new year and have fun!! Loving the breakdown! Gives me hope as I slowly (emphasis on SLOW) try and get back into more than "shuffle/stumble" pace. Trying to learn myself, as a runner, to be patient and think of the long term. (Also, don't stop the mile! Just also do road races? Ha. Have fun!!) (And ignore my advice! It means nothing. But I hope my encouragement and excitement for your results so far helps!!!!!)

  • @AMostlyFunctionalJess
    @AMostlyFunctionalJess 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Definitely think roads are where it's at for you. The work you were doing with Ari, showed you can build a really, really good level of running strength for the longer stuff, even if that wasn't the intended outcome. If you really want to get that mile time, obviously you should go for it. Just keep the bigger picture in mind and if the mile is shitting allover your mental health, it's not worth it to keep pushing it year after year. Your journey of discovery is valuable to watch and it's definitely helped me get some insight into how to approach my own running. Keep at it, this year will be incredibly informative for you whether the mile goes well or not. The crossroads analogy fits well here.

    Seated calf raise machine is awesome if you have achilles problems. The thing is to get muscles around that area strong. You don't need to do other lifting to take care of that issue. One orthopedic dr. solved my problems something like 25 years ago and I have been doing those raises 1-2 times a week ever since. If I am lazy and don't want to lift anything, I'll just do those calf raises and take care of my achilles issues.

    If you look energy systems of 1mile run there's about 20-25% ATP & Glycotic and 75-80% aerobic, therefore it's possible to excel the mile after aerobic base training if you manage to get back your leg speed within lower mileage during competitive season.

I feel like I have "fresh legs" like once every other week. The rest of the time I'm just battling for the first 1-2 miles of my run before I get warmed up and start to feel ok.

    • @bigbattenberg
      @bigbattenberg 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hmm yes that seems to be my problem as well. After researching the Feed the Cats methodology I have decided to approach my training differently and definitely not be that guy anymore thinking being tired all the time is normal and OK. I think too many are stuck in a work ethic grounded in our culture and boosted by the digital age where we have voluntarily made ourselves 'slaves of the machine', logging and sharing every thing we do and getting a dopamine hit on the likes on the socials for yet another grueling session. It's time for 'mature simplicity' as Mr. Tony Holler puts it.

    • @ffbb205
      @ffbb205 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I’m not sure what your training looks like outside of the actual running part, but problems like that usually stem from lack of sleep, diet, or need to stretch more before and after runs. Doing some mobility and strength exercises like core and hip work daily or every other day can also help a ton with stuff like that if you keep it consistent.
