Whoop sensor calibrates for one month to your body. In fact free trial is stupidity because it does not give you relevant data. They should be giving two months free trial but of course I see why they do it this way. I use it for two years already and it is great for data accuracy. I love the fact it does not have any display. Hope they will keep it that way for Whoop 5.0.

Awful HR accuracy. Terrible product.

Yeah

If you go for a pace where you can hold a conversation while running this is a great place to start.

Nice work! Sub 19 will come v. soon... 👍

Ah thank you so much! We're glad you're enjoying them, and it's a pleasure to have you watching our videos.

Boom! Let us know how you get on with the WHOOP.

Yup! Garmin is great. Which one do you have? The sleep tracking stuff in Garmin is the most noticeable difference vs WHOOP.

Fenix 6 Pro Sapphire for me seems to cover all bases. Must admit I like being able to check my HR during a run as that's the key metric for me. I use it with an external HR armband for better accuracy. I do find myself coming back to reviews like this though....

Yea that is a really good point to be able to check your HR when running. WHOOP definitely more recovery and sleep focussed vs the data and performance metrics you get with Garmin for running.

Thanks! Just checked on the WHOOP website black Friday deals are live.

There is but it's not a lot off at all tbh

Hey! Sounds to me like you're challenge at the moment is speed endurance. There isn't loads you're going to be able to do between now and your race on the 27th but long term, here's a cCouple of things that should help: 1. Practice running longer distances each week, 350m, 400m 450m. You should get good at running slightly longer than the distance you plan to be good for. 2. If you're not strength training try 3 x full body sessions a week with weights, 6-12 reps, 60-90 secs rest, 2-3 sets. 3. Keep your food good quality. Protein high, lots of fruit and veggies. 4. Drink plenty of water throughout the day. 5. Get 7-9 hours of sleep each night. Hope this helps.

Its a dead lift. You’re meant to drop the weight.

Welcome Gary!

Thank for your comment about the rest of the video. I don't think its terrible advice however. I do understand the barefoot situation, and I do also understand that when they have compared impact forces between people wearing shoes when running and also not wearing shoes when running there is very little difference in a reduction on impact forces on the lower limb. However... For the context of this video if you are a beginner runner and you have problems that flare up like my achilles nearly a year ago, and then you try a more cushioned pair of running shoes and it takes the pain and inflammation away what really is the problem with this? I've done this, lots of our other clients have done this, and we've had the same success - a reduction or eradication of the injury in question. Also for more context, strengthening the whole body is something we place a huge emphasis on with our running clients too.

@BeUnstoppabl I agree soft shoes are okay for beginners who have weak feet - which is most people nowadays. But it's not ideal and is likely to cause problems further up the chain eventually, so I was surprised at the blanket recommendation. Do you agree that runners with strong feet and ankles are better off with less cushioning?

@@gracefool If you have the resilience in your body to handle a less cushioned shoe you should go down that route. We would always recommend clients, if they're at home, to be walking around their house barefoot to help strengthen the ankle and foot which can help with their running also.

Great book. I do have to say though since I've swapped to a more cushioned pair of shoes my achilles problem isn't there when I'm running. If you are a new runner and you do get pain around say your achilles and you tried out a more cushioned pair of running shoes I don't think there's is a problem with that.

Oh yes!

Glad it was helpful!

Hi! Thank you for your kind words it's a pleasure to have you here too. Awesome to hear you're having Sunday as a rest day now. In response to your first question: Rest days is little to no exercise, so no running, no gym etc etc. Regarding hiking if it's intense then I wouldn't be doing this on a rest day. I used to Hike on my rest days, but when you 20,000 + steps and you've just climbed 600m's it's not really that restful. So yea I'd just be mindful of the intensity of those hikes on your rest days. And perhaps even think about bringing the hike onto a day when you're already training so the rest day can be as restful as possible. If you run 3 times a week. In the early days work towards those 3 x 5ks a week. Once you're at that distance, then perhaps you could consider swapping out one of those 5ks for some hill reps. Hills reps are usually ran faster, and place more stress on your body and so I'd build into this once you've got to your 3 5ks. OR you might find once you're at 3 x 5ks you are really planning to take this running thing to the next level and you might want to do an extra session each week which could be your hills. Hope all of that helps! Have an awesome rest of your weekend. 👍

@ WOW!!! I am very impressed not only by your response but how quickly you responded. I find many authors of a channel don’t bother to respond to questions at all. Thank you for the information and recommendations. I should be running 5K 3 X a week in the next few weeks. I will definitely be taking your advice on training. Thank you again.

More than welcome! We always here to help. Let us know how the 5k runs go too.. 👍

Glad it helped! Let us know how the military race goes too. 👍

Me on 29th nov

Age could be a reason Brett, I've replied to your other comment on part 1 of the heavy legs video which will give a more detailed insight into what might be going on... 👍

Hey Brett appreciate the comment. Whats changed over the last year for the heavy legs to come on all of sudden? Had a few thoughts based on your comment: - Hows your stress levels right now? - May be worth tracking your food with Cronometer as accurately as possible, you can get a detailed breakdown of each vitamin and mineral, and this may highlight if you are deficient in something which could be one reason for the heavy legs - Have you increased the amount of training you're doing right now? - Have you tried having longer between each run? I have recently done this to give myself one extra rest day a week and its helped me. Just a few thoughts there, happy to riff off any other ideas... 👍

Nice, as long as this works for you?

It kinda does.. coz without coffee, my heart rate is lower

@@edu1113 Very true!

Video pending...! Not something I use when running, more before running.

Thats great to hear. What track and field events do you do? You're right. Consistency is the number 1 factor. Like you say you're not always going to fancy doing the run or want to run hard, but this is what separates the good from the great. Awesome to hear about your results so far.

😂 I knew which bit you were referring to before I even watched the video back ha!

Thanks man, really appreciate it. 👍

Thank you, we're pleased to have you here. 🤛

Send us your portfolio and we’ll check you out. Also if you want to recreate this thumbnail send it over and we will A/B test it. 👍

Hey! For endurance training, phases are generally structured to build gradually. Winter is about building a strong aerobic base (Zone 2 work), while adding some speed work helps maintain sharpness without peaking too early. As you get closer to summer, speed work increases, while the volume of Zone 2 gradually decreases, helping you peak when it counts. Hopefully that makes sense? I overdid speed work in my first phase of the year when I was a sprinter and I paid the price when it came to comps. Injury prone, and performances weren't great. Better to save your peak for the competition season.

@ makes sense! Many thanks for the reply. Your videos are great

@@rodolphewouters8752 Thank you! Glad you enjoy them, latest one is on our channel now. 👍

Just a benchmark for most!

Thank you! Let us know how you get on. Yup, too right. And VO2 max is a great measure of your fitness and health. The hills are great.

Thank you. 👍

Is work!!!❤

More about getting a dry mouth, but not dehydrating.

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. 👍

Welcome! Glad you enjoyed. 👍

Personally never used them myself, but can be a good way to help you move from a heel to mid foot strike. We had a client who was using this and he liked them. One thing we did work on was starting with shorter runs in these and building yourself up into the longer ones. Keep us updated and let us know how you get on with these shoes!

Welcome! 👍

You're very welcome, glad it's helped. 👍

Thank you!

You're welcome! Glad it helped you.. 👍

You're more than welcome. If there's anything else you'd like us to cover on this channel let us know.

@@BeUnstoppabl First videos of yours I am watching Started running 7 months back still exploring 👌

@@abamanass8826 Awesome, welcome to the channel!

@@BeUnstoppabl Thanks

Interesting breakdown! For reducing that clap, couple of things spring to mind: - Focus on pulling your foot off the ground quicker, almost like you're lifting it instead of pushing off - Focus on run posture, looking straight ahead most of the time These two things can help reduce the surface area hitting the ground and might help smooth out that slap, especially when you're tired. What shoes do you run in out of interest?

@@BeUnstoppabl I have all kind of neutral Mizuno models (usually 1-2 years behind current to buy in sale) Rider, Kizuna, Revolt, Sky, for XC Mujin and for races I used almost exclusively Cursoris (low drop "minimalistic" mizuno from ~2013, they stopped to produce these but I have still one pair with lower mileage designated for races) and newly bought Duel2. So most of my shoes are with medium-big cushion for neutral landing except the racing shoes which are toward minimal cushion and lower weight. And one cross vibram five finger - worn out almost completely now. The mizuno models tend to endure 300-500km with decent rebound, then they start to feel a bit squished but also perfectly fit for my feet at that stage (500-900km), then some of them start to tear, some models hold on, 900+ the sole may start to feel disbalanced - depends on the wear, I have now pretty level wear on soles. And they start to feel really smashed providing like 50% of original cushion, so I tend to use those for shorter runs only until they feel still good or some hole starts to open, usually retiring them around 1100km, with my first Cursoris going for 1729km :D - and sole still felt quite good but the soft mesh top was torn apart too much). ;)

No, they'll kidnap you in their basements.

Ha! Depends if they look friendly or not... Point them to this vid!
