Chester and Abingdon Marathon 2024 training [] 10 Avoidable Mistakes that can Ruin Your Long Run
As we were away in Norfolk last week, we had to find an appropriate route for our progressive long run. We aimed to get quicker for 6 x 3 mile blocks before attempting marathon effort at the end.
We reflected on the many things that can go wrong on a long run, most of which we both avoided, but one of which Dawn got wrong, with predictable consequences in the final few miles.

Dereham Town Centre 5K [] Sub 20? [] Full PoV RACE VLOG [] How I Think and Race a 5K []
Просмотров 1,2 тыс.9 часов назад
The Dereham Town Centre 5k has been going since 2011, and I have done every race that has been organised there. From a pb of 16:49 in 2011, my times have slipped over the years, my last Sub 20 coming as long ago as 2016. Having worked hard on all aspects of my running fitness since clocking 20:12 last year, I had hopes of finally going under 20 minutes again. I filmed the whole race from a PoV ...

For years there has been talk of a parkrun starting in Dereham. Overcoming many hurdles, not least the lack of a suitable course, the core team has ensured that this large Norfolk market town can boast its own event. We were in town for the weekend to run the Dereham Runners 5k the following day, so were very happy to take part in Dereham parkrun Event 5. It's a lovely varied course and Dereham...
4 Ways To Work Out Marathon Heart Rate [] Tuesday Workout [] Chester and Abingdon Marathon Prep

Should you run a Marathon to Heart Rate? It is one of several ways you can choose to decide on how to tackle the distance. In the past I have run my best marathons by working out and sticking to a heart rate plan. If you do decide to go with heart rate you need to take several factors into account in order to work out what that Marathon Heart Rate zone should be. In this video I undertake a sho...

Our latest parkrun trip saw us revisit Poole parkrun in Dorset, reckoned to be the third fastest in the UK. During the run we thought about the myriad of ways in which people use the various numbers parkrun generates to enjoy their parkrunning. You don't have to be fast, or even getting faster. There are numbers out there for everyone to enjoy, and in this video we take you through many of them.

Whilst away on holiday we decided to see how many Strava segments were on a regular loop we run. The results were surprising. So we set out to claim the crowns on two segments we created ourselves. One would take a superhuman effort beyond what had been recorded in running history. Would the record books be re-written?
Long Run Experiment [] Did It Work? [] Chester and Abingdon Marathon Training [] Week 5
Просмотров 72014 дней назад
Today a long run was on the cards. Rather than a straight run with little variety, I decided to add in a 100m stride every half a mile. This would give me 3,600 metres, or 3.2 miles, of fast running with good form. Was it an experiment worth undertaking? Or would it ruin my run?

Our latest parkrun travels took us to Minehead, an event we last did in 2016. That day, aged 52, Dawn ran 22:36. Could she beat that time as a F60 eight years later? The battle for the third female position was tightly contested, with four of five females finishing within a few seconds of each other. Could Dawn also squeeze onto the podium at this scenic seafront parkrun?

I still laugh every time I see that clip of John Squelching through the mud & puddles on the Marriott Way in February 😂. I'm glad the conditions were much better on this long run workout! Great advice & tips for long runs thanks guys 👏👏👏
Same here Kev 😂 I think it should be in every video. Reminds me of myself 😅
Loving the T-shirt 👊
Well done both. There's a lot that goes into these long runs!
Nice one that, cracking workout and some great tips 😃
5:05 😂
Ha, made most of those mistakes! What are your thoughts on a long run after 10 days or so off from anything particularly long? I cant get my weekend long run in this weekend, so may need to do it Tuesday or wednesday next week. Would it be risky to then resume normal schedule and run long again 4-5 days later? I have 7 weeks left until marathon day and have 3-4 key long runs is like to get in before then!
You should be fine as an experienced runner. I'd go for laps or out and backs like we did if in doubt.
Well done both. That's a super distance to cover.
Great video again, I have a 20miler tomorrow so car will parked at hove prom where I can easily break and refuel swap shoes, which is a nice idea, as I do 8 or so mile loop, I ran my sub 3:30 in Manchester in VP3s just a little bit lighter than VP2s and less aggressive so could be an option for Dawn?
Well done getting that sub 20. I did it last year and have to echo everything you said as it was a very well organised event and it is nice to see locally organised events somewhere people can easily spectate on the course. I was chasing my own arbitrary time last year and left it very close on that final sprint!
Well done. The race used to start where it finishes so two lots of grass.
@@tworunningbrooms Do you prefer the road start now? I can picture a bit of a mad group sprint off the grass towards that footpath
@@Reducedpricemeal Yes definitely. I was a lot quicker back then so didn't get impeded but I could imagine where I am now there being a bottleneck coming out of there.
It certainly was your day John. Well done again! and thank you for another cameo role 😂
Haha. See you again soon I hope.
Good Arrows! 🎯
180
Smashed it 👊
Thank you
Boom 👊 well done on the sub 20. Love the thoughts and the insights in this vid, it's full of energy. Rest up and get going again Dawn. ⚡
Thanks Neil. She has the England Masters 5k next week.
Interesting insights, John. I've never looked at part on the run but have on the bike. Maxing out at 200bpm would be some posh for me. Well done, great vid.
Cheers. I saw 195 on the recent 5k!
You've worked so hard for this well done. I still refer back to one of your older videos- 5k pb hacks for improvement.
Thank you Lorriane. Hope your training is going well.
Love the insight. Well ran!
Thank you
Well done, fantastic effort!
Thank you
Well done! Great to see you bust through into 19 min zone. I’m on a similar journey aiming to break 18 min when I turn 60 on 2 September 😃 I’m racing the Tatton Park 5k on 7 September. Your video will help motivation on the day. Thanks you 👏
That would be an amazing time. The V60 winner at this race did 18:10. Awesome.
Fantastic time John, many congratulations! The runner you spotted with a GoPro chest strap was Myles Hague, the brilliant chair of Aylsham Runners, very likely recording content for Sportlink TV - their Dereham 5k RUclips video also published today
Myles. Great name for a running club chairman 😀. Yes we watch all the Sportlink Vlogs and saw Richard wasn't running. See you back in Norfolk soon I hope.
Just realised your 'other' non running life. Very impressive.
Well done John! 🎉
Thank you
Superb run John!
Thank you.
Great running John, really controlled even pacing, you must be pretty high up on the age group percentage, do you know where you came in age group, or have those stats gone now, keep up the good work, keep on keeping on! 🌲👊🏼🥳👏👣😀👍
Hi Reece. This was a proper race not a parkrun. I was 9th out of 37 in the 50-54 age group! Our friend won the V60 in ab amazing time of 18:10!
@@tworunningbrooms 9th out of 37 is excellent, & your friend 18,10 is amazing age is just a number haha 👍
@@gokiwi2642 thanks. It is. 👍
Far more relaxing watching you run the race than actually running it yourself!! Enjoyed that!
Thanks Tim.
Massive well done John, all that hours of hard work paying off!
Yes hours of work for 19 happy minutes 😉
A very well paced 5K John, brilliant sub 20! Great video
Thanks Kev
Great video, really enjoyed it. Congratulations on your sub 20 John, super happy for you 👊💪
Thank you very much.
That’s how to negative split a 5k
I was pleased with my control.
Totally agree about "watch watching". I tend to concentrate on my breathing and cadence. Near the end of the race, I might sneak a quick look at the time, but not very often. Some days the training pays off and sometims ... Well done on achieving your goal, a split second per k can make all the difference.
Yes very small margins. I worked out 4 seconds is 0.3% of the total time of a 20 min 5k
Very well done - that's a great run. Sub 20 mins for 5k is tough.
Thank you Julian
Yes I am a big fan of Andrew Snow, and have adopted strides into runs, I think it is probably a Longer term strategy to see big benefits, but as I am training for Berlin and then London in 2025 I think that will come, as it’s a bit to early yet, also reading Shane Benzie book the lost art of running a great book with a lot of focus on form.
Thanks Terry. Will look that one up
Well done John, solid effort, and great time ofcourse 😄
Thanks Matt
Well done that's a fine run. Did I see a 4:08 opening K. If so great example of being able to control the early desire to go off too quick which I always seem to in 5Ks.
Yes and knowing the slight nuances on each course. That 4:08 is fine for that first km. I hope they get the various permissions to be able to hold the race next year.
Really pleased for you with this one, John. Congratulations on nailing the performance after all of your hard work 👏 Excellent breathing as well 😅 Like a rhythmic train! I've only done Macclesfield HM in terms of a town centre-ish race. I did enjoy that one, and I'm looking forward to Mansfield next month 👍
I did a Mansfield HM years ago. We all got a box of 6 eggs.
One of your best videos. Really enjoyed that - the race itself, the insight, and the motivation. Brilliant.
Thank you. This and the Barnsley 10k easily my favourite races of the year so far.
Great effort; well done 👍🏻
Thank you
Brilliant run & nicely filmed. I wish I could go sub 20 but sadly I have plateaued at about 22:30 after 18 months of running and at 59 age is not on my side!
If you've only been running 18 months try varying your trading. Eg 12 weeks towards a HM then 12 weeks of specific 5k training. Most runners, whatever their age, take about 4 years to get to their general standard then can enjoy 6 more years at that before you start to slow.
Have been looking forward to this one. Really happy for you to get back under the arbitrary 20 minute goal that so many of us set for ourselves! Feel for Dawn not finishing this one, but I'm sure you'll both be back! Congratulations! Also good to see you've not been put off running on the Marriott's Way!
Haha indeed not. We showed Marriott's Way who was the master today 😂
Great video packed with good info. Subscribed!
@Tomridesandruns thank you Tom. You too. Hope to come across you again when we visit Norfolk.
@@tworunningbrooms get harleston magpies parkrun on your list and come see us!
Very entertaining watch, thank you for this and looked very competitive at the end haha
'Parkrun is not a race...' 😉
@@tworunningbrooms of course 🤫🤫😂
Loved the video ❤Variety really is the spice of life! 284 park run venues!!! Wow! I've only run about 46 parkruns and some of those the same ones!
I bet you've raced in more places than we have though! Although we do like to get around.
@tworunningbrooms maybe ! 😀😀😀 But o ly because I started racing 53 years ago!!! 😂
It's awesome that they managed to make it happen despite years of hurdles. Looks like a pleasant course - at least in the Summer!
Yes, for us, it would be a summer run... Good if you are training for winter xc, too.
Good to speak to you both before and after the Dereham 5k today. We headed for the Romany Rye afterwards - our toddler’s favourite table is directly beneath a model spiderweb on the ceiling, which was created to represent a children’s book of an author living in Dereham in the 18th century, ‘Cobwebs to catch flies’. Fortunately, no flies pestered us while we were eating there.
They know how to hook them young at Wetherspoons. 🤣 We ate there later in the day too and wasn't too bad. 🙂 Well done on your race time, too!
