My experience exactly - consistent 2.5 hours long runs combined with 90 minutes easy runs. These two changes have made a bigger improvement to my running fitness/race times than any "miracle" workout.
Happy Sunday and Thank you so much for the shout out bro. I definitely appreciate it, AND this video. I used Pftzinger to get my 1:40PR, I’m exploring Hansons and Daniel’s and I can definitely see a difference in their methodology. I’d be dedicating my 1:18 time to you! Much Love.
of course bro! and i love hansons for how simple it is - i read pfitzinger last year and really like that approach as well. i'm doing some of the daniels workouts for my marathon training and they're super complicated hahah but i wanted a switch up so the more complex daniels stuff has been fun recently
Really interesting ideas. I'm going to think about how I might work some of them into my runs. I often do 6 miles then take a 2 hour break to make lunches and get the kids to school 🙂 before I finish.
love it - whatever works to get the mileage in! i'm finding i'm likely going to modify my schedule as well to do more of the morning activities with my kids for this next bit. last week i started doing my stroller runs in the morning and workouts in the afternoon
Btw I hit a PR this weekend for my 10k in the Rei Saucony Endorphin Speed 4s, thanks for the advice! I just moved up two corrals for New York Road Runner races 😭!
@@supwell the work/ life balance. Dad of three, pounding pavement, what gets you through the post runs not including nutrition. Foam roll, massage gun, sauna, etc?
Excellent video, perfect timing as getting ready for my first half in 5 weeks hopefully. Quick question here should I fuel the long run similar to my half marathon? New to running,try to figure out my fuel strategy. Ran 2 hours yesterday,done 22 KMs but used 3 gels. Felt good,but is it not too much? 47 yrs old male here with road cycling background,thx in advance
Congrats on the upcoming half 💪🏽 and yes I would use the long run as a change to practice race day fueling strategy. My general approach is that there's no such thing as too much - as long as you're not having stomach problems and feel like you need to slow down. 3 gels over a 2 hour run is pretty much perfect for me as well - I'd also suggest doing a carb drink or gel 15 minutes before race start. I use the tailwind endurance fuel for my carb drink and then Maurten is my favorite gel
@@supwelli noticed that you do not have workouts faster than race pace? Or vo2max workout? Is it because the current fitness level is not yet at the goal race pace? So training in goal race pace is faster than the current half marathon pace. I hope you understand my point.
Sunday long runs Monday rest Tuesday track day Wednesday cross train Thursday faster mileage/threshold pace Friday rest Satirday tempo runs Ideas on how to improve that?
That's great - pretty similar structure to what I do. The main improvement I'd make is getting more aerobic mileage in by changing those rest and cross training days to relaxed running. I'd start first by doing 30 minutes at a nice recovery pace Friday for a few weeks and see how that feels. Then after a few weeks add a recovery run on Monday - and if you still feel good after a month or two of that schedule I'd change the cross training day to a 30 minute run as well (you'll get more benefits running than cross training unless you have a big injury risk - you could even keep the cross training activity and do 15 mins on the treadmill before and after if you have time). I would try that new schedule for a few months and then gradually increase those recovery run lengths over time to 45 mins and then an hour (over the course of six months even). Gradually building up that mileage over the course of a year through that relaxed running should help a ton - that was the biggest thing that improved my running
@supwell thanks a ton! Will definitely add that 30 minutes recovery run. I also have another question, what's the difference between recovery run pace and long run pace? Are they the same but the long run is just that?
@@brettfettbeargaming long run pace should be faster than recovery runs. I generally run long runs at my "everyday" running pace, which is a 5/10 effort or about 70% to 80% max heart rate if you train that way - that's about a minute to 90 seconds per mile slower than half marathon race pace. Recovery runs I do at a 4/10 or below effort and don't worry about pace at all - that generally is about 2 minutes per mile slower than my half marathon race pace. If you let me know your race/training paces I can give more specific guidance too
@@supwell my long run pace is around 8:45-8:55 pace for 10 miles increasing 1 mile each week (will be 11 today), and my race pace for a 5k is around 6:30 pace
@@brettfettbeargamingcool I would do recovery runs in the 9 minute range. Also with that 5k time you may be able to start speeding up your long runs a bit into the high 7/low 8 minute range once you get used to the distance
I normally wear regular width shoes but I do check for wider toe boxes. I think my left foot is a touch wider - I want to get one of those foot scans done
Posting my 300 mile review soon and will get into more detail there but it's been very consistent for me. I'm impressed as its durability - I don't usually have great luck with these softer foam shoes but the 1080 is holding up super well
Best running youtuber in the game right now
NO CAP! I love his approach.
thank you both! 🙌🏽
Up for this!

Love your shoe review videos, but I'd love to see more of these workout videos.

Ayyy congrats! That's amazing 💪🏽 next up half marathon PR?
Most definitely!! Thank you!
Put my email in: you’re going to love the drop tomorrow 😂
sweet you're added to the list! and oh no that is ominous hahaha
Grindy … let’s see a recovery video
I got you - anything you specific you want to see covered? Btw I'm going to do the COROS fitness test soon thanks for the suggestion
Recovery run tempo compared to an easy run tempo.

Learned a ton! Regarding the strength session, is it 10secs faster than marathon or half marathon pace? Thanks
Great question - ten seconds faster than marathon pace, which should land you between half marathon and marathon pace
@@supwelli noticed that you do not have workouts faster than race pace? Or vo2max workout? Is it because the current fitness level is not yet at the goal race pace? So training in goal race pace is faster than the current half marathon pace. I hope you understand my point.
Sunday long runs
Monday rest
Tuesday track day
Wednesday cross train
Thursday faster mileage/threshold pace
Friday rest
Satirday tempo runs

Do you have 2E wide feet bro? I'm also size 10.5 and 2E. Would be great to know as it gives good insight on the fit

has the 1080 foam changed for you ?
