Treadmill threshold on holiday
A few days after Tom cycled round Mallorca the boys decided to get back to what they know best and jump on the treadmills for a threshold, It’s fair to say they’re both far away from normal shape. The session was followed by a debrief at a local cafe explaining why their shape wasn’t at the normal level.

    Thanks for the update. Shame you picked up covid19. I think you can improve your tactics....i recommend you staying close to the front in heats and semi to make it easier to qualify. Watch both Fisher and Kessler both stay near the front and do it with no fuss. You make it hard by being so far back. When the pace picks up you are at a disadvantage. Im sure you will do great in Tokyo as you are very disciplined and work hard. All the best George

  • @markbateman9222
    @markbateman9222 Месяц назад

    I think that every runner knows when it's time to call it a day for the season. Sometimes the body is OK but the mind is shot, sometimes it's the other way round. Whatever, there's no point trying to force it when there's no chance of putting in a good performance. Hope you have a good end of season break and look forward to following your progress to next year's world champs. Realistically, do you see your best chance of a medal on the global stage at 1500 or 5000? From my totally uneducated view, I would ay the longer distance but what do I know?

  • @paulmcgregor8725
    @paulmcgregor8725 3 месяца назад

    hey, I might've gone through something similar when I was your age. I'm a tall runner that relied too much on tendon elasticity/my natural springiness and not enough on my muscles/energy systems, particularly the posterior chain/butt. Very slowly, through the years, the repeated stride impact coupled with anterior reliance hunched me forward until I was basically running with my hip flexors and shoulders-super inefficient. After various tipping points, I couldn't figure out why my effort was through the roof and my results were plummeting. Then, it's kind of a negative feedback where running made you feel good (but is also what is hurting you) so you run more and more and feel worse and worse. Until, at its worst, you can't catch a good workout because you can't even access your big muscles to get that work in, and then it's just one big declining cascade of structural and energy systems. This is actually my first comment and I hope you see it because your situation is really reminiscent, and I know how terrible it is. Luckily, after I diagnosed it, the fix was easy. I reactivated my posterior chain through light smith machine deadlifts with a really pronounced curve in my back and a proud chest, all the while, consciously firing and reinforcing the mind/muscle connection in my glutes and back. Also, it looks like you might need to strengthen/stretch your upper/middle back because your shoulders are slightly turned forward-hanging is also good for this, ideally both. Once I fixed this, it literally felt like my body's natural spring was given back to me, and correspondingly, I became far more efficient and my performance returned. You can't out effort objective paradigms, like leverages, so please go easy on yourself subjectively and handle your objective business like an engineer would: systematically and dispassionately. If you've tried everything else, please try this, because it gave me my athleticism back, albeit very little compared to you! I don't think it's your heart/energy systems, I think it might be internal infrastructural changes that have resulted in sub-optimal energy allocations for running, specifically.

      6’2” aspiring mid D guy, post collegiate coaching myself. I have had the same debilitating problems with glute activation. After building some mass to fill my frame and re-training my neuromuscular pathways, I not only eliminated my injury problems but discovered sprint speed I didn’t know I was capable of. In the middle of a mileage ascent and I’ve doubled my previous highest volume with no problems. Going to 160km and then starting the Norwegian method building toward next season. To anyone struggling with chronic injury, understand that you are not permanently “broken,” just need to take matters into your own hands and learn a lot about how your body works.
