I like how you explained this concept! Even though I have tried to embrace polarized running as much as possible, I always appreciate new ways of explaining what constitutes as “easy.” For the most part I do the run-walk method to ensure that I stay in an easy zone because I know that when I run without walking I have a natural inclination to speed up to around my tempo pace.
I think this is the best advice for newbies like me. Most of the videos I watched are focusing on the posture and proper way to stride but I get tired fast. I know that those two are very important but I think the most important thing to do is train my legs to get used to walking/jogging/running and gradually increase the intensity.
What great timing for me, it was the first day of my spring-marathon training block yesterday, and I decided to start adding notes after each of my runs as you suggest in your book, which of course includes my RPE score ... so my effort is what I'm now really starting to make the focus of each run, that and maintaining a nice high cadence, rather than my pace! This explanation really clarifies it and is an awesome reminder!!
I started to run again about a week ago and calculated what I thought my pace should be, which was a mistake. I used to run close to 12:00 2 mile times but that was 20 years ago. I thought 8:00 was reasonable for a 2-3 mile run but I tanked by the half mile and my pace changed from 2:00 per lap to finishing a mile at 10:00 and completely gassed. This explanation is far more effective and I'd have had a much better experience if using it. My run later this week will be 20-30 minutes at a very low pace to rebuild that adaptation.
I'm just trying to run 1.5 miles in under 16 minutes, for my PFT. 😅 First time around I completely gassed myself out, and did not prepare. This next time will be different.
Interesting video! I never really thought that I could be running too fast, as I struggle with my breathing whilst running. I find that I run for about 15 minutes before I run out of puff, I'm not tired, just out of breath. Then I have to walk for a minute or so before setting off again for the same to happen again.
I was so pumped up for running and used to get injured very often . I directly went to 5-6 km per session without any training or foundation . And my shins would hate me
Well done for appreciating what you can do currently. A lot of runner just focus on the next goal and don’t spend time focussing on the now. 👏 thanks for watching and supporting the channel
my slow run is basically a walk and could only do it maybe for 5 mins. I cannot exercise in cold air ( triggers sore lungs, airways and sinuses) or during hay fever season (breathlessness/wheeziness) so I resorted to slow sprint for 2-3 minutes and I'd be totally out of breath. my breathing improved after several weeks of such exercising at the weekends (only one per day with my dog). unfortunately I developed plantar fasciitis and it is only now after 2 years of recovery I am thinking of starting exercising again. I did the breath test in your other video and although I could force myself to hold my breath a lot longer, my comfortable hold was only under 20 seconds, more like 17. I got breathless just from watching videos of running. I think I am beyond getting fit. I'm getting old too fast
HA - my RPE is garbage. My RPE would be a 5-6 when I take the dog for a walk, and my legs start hurting around the 20 min mark. But I go everyday, and I am hoping that my fitness will build over time if I stay consistent.
I am about to complete 51, and (re)started this effort to run. I tried it several, several times before, and I failed. Now I am using this approach 2-4 RPE you described here. My PR is usually 8 minutes per km, which seems slower than simply EVERYBODY. However I simply can't run faster. What is wrong with me?
Plenty of videos on the channel on how to run faster but I wouldn’t be so hard on yourself. Embrace the slow running and with consistency and training the speed will come.

Thanks for watching Mary and sharing your thoughts. I think your experience is pretty common.

Excellent! Good luck with the start of your marathon training!
Thanks for breaking this down in a way I can explain to my middle school runners. I try my best to explain what their bodies are doing when active.

Glad you found it effective Shane! Great work!

Sounds like a good challenge! Good luck 🤞
What's a PFT?
Likewise!

Would love to see how things go when you slow things down
