I love relating his easy run pace to his marathon pace. I think it’s easy for amateurs like myself to think I’m running too slow, but it’s so important to remind myself to keep easy runs easy.
A lot of sound advice that can be adapted to 'normal' runners. He is so consistent because his training is. He doesn't break himself in any one session and uses his other runs as active recovery.
Full-time athlete Kipchoge: 200k/week 15% fast = 30k/week Freetime athlete with full-time job + kids: 30k/week 15% fast = 4k/week There‘s no denying that running slow is healthier and the right option for recreational runners. But IF you are ambitious regarding your pbs and cannot spend so much time running every week, then 90/10 or 80/20 will not help you to exploit your potential. One got to tell people that „running slow to run faster“ is a wholly different story when you only have time for about 3 runs a week. Here you should get closer to 50/50 for optimal results (incl. one slowish long run) and let your 4 rest days do their work. I‘m not saying that this is the approach I would generally recommend. But the key to make e.g. 85/15 work for reaching a decent pb is MILEAGE and ample time for running slow. I think this often not stated clearly enough.
@@lean2281 being there for you family and your people is important as well. I can run 100k by only making time for a single dedicated run a week. Small workouts before work, plenty of time for other commitments. Always running for yourself is just hyperindividualist
Since Kipchoge is training and working with a program. That makes him normal human being. Everything he can do, anyone else can achieve it even better it. Yours is just to have similar dedication and eagerness to do more.
Do you guys have a video where you explain why you don't advocate training twice a day? You mentioned this at least twice in the video... Not that I want to do it, but some days I wish I could break my sessions into 2 because of work obligations.
They discuss it briefly as one of the items in '7 HARMFUL Things PRO Runners Do That You Should Avoid At All Costs', which is linked at the end of this video.
my reaction: #1 good that finally somebody looks at K training. #2 this rendition however seems more like the typical u tube pablum marathoner advocating 140 junk miles/week and finidng every excuse in the book (superhuman) to justify.. K does fast runs twice a week. I've not seen a single marathon vid advocating speed work twice a week. To say that K only does 15% of his miles as speed is just an error. When u r fartleking slow and fast the whole workout is an anaerobic speed workout. Additionally they keep making the excuse, well, K is super human that's why he can run slow as fast as many run fast. K gets i'd guess a large part of his overall conditioniing because he runs his slow works fast. there r a couple of K training blurbs on u tube 2018 about showing K doing the Tues track work but doing 20 miles or so slightly sub marathon pace (instead of fartlek) on Friday.

You may be busy but let’s face facts, you can find the time to run 6 days a week, stop making excuses
Fully agree with you on that
@@lean2281 at the cost of other things, sure. Fuck, life would be totally worthless if it was just for running fast.

NOBODY WILL EVER RUN LIKE KIPCHOGE.. LET'S PARK THAT ONE ALREADY😂

I will as a junior I promise
On the contrary, Kipchoge wants everybody/anybody to run like Kipchoge.
This didnt age well just 2 weeks and 1 london marathon later
Kelvin Kiptum will disagree...
Great video and information. Very transferable for us recreational runners. Thanks guys.
Excellent information, thank you.
This was a great conversation! The easy run is a great reminder, thank you folks!
Thank u for bringing in the perspective of relativity
I think analyzing his running and imitate him will do the trick as well

You are assuming that the speed relationship is linear, is that true?
nope. that's the flaw in this analysis.
How much time / mileage / % is the long run every week?
So when you talk about % of the week's training at easy (80%), are you talking distance or time?
The link to Kipchoge's training data is not in the video description. Someone please reply to this comment when they add it to the description.
Added in description
but kipchoge does it full time😅thina we work magents😅we dont take naps during d day to recover !its tough

I think 85/10/5 would be more accurate to describe Eliud training.
@@alessandrovalzania2316 k trains fast, is other than junk miles--all we need to know
@@alessandrovalzania2316 hi 85 what? thx
@@lukefennell4944 85% easy run.
Nothing wrong with running twice a day to increase your mileage if you follow the 10% rule.
Impossible
Can't run like Eliud Kipchoge
What do you mean by "km"? Jk
1km= .6Miles
foolish,
