Stop Running Your Training Runs So Hard - Do THIS Instead

You've probably heard this a gazillion times, "To improve your marathon times...you simply need to run faster in training" 🏃💨💨
I'm here to tell you that's NOT TRUE... ❌
[TAKE NOTE] The part at 3:37 will blow everything you ever thought you knew about running faster, for longer out of the water. 🤯

Nice!! Been listening to your vlogs. Been help full. I can see the steady progress i am making. Thanks Guys!

[@chrisbean247]

Lost that almost from the start, no idea what I should or shouldn't be doing.

[@SuperElott]

I’m trying to get back into running.
R knee arthritis but I’m trying to run through at times. Slow and steady!

[@HamishNiven]

Great video, thanks very much How do I work out when I'm working aerobically and when I'm training anaerobically?

[@jenni694]

OK. So, How do you do this?

[@rayjohnson8329]

Lately my running H.S. been hampered pretty heavily due to swelling for a couple days after each run?!

[@argyle057]

Can you just explain that again more simply. Not a scooby.

[@erinfrey1634]

After listening to this, I definitely feel I am training anaerobically which might explain why I have been struggling so much on my runs as I have been getting older (I'm 52). However, I live in a very hilly city so it's tough to just find a nice easy pace. If I slow down enough to be comfortable I will literally be running at a snail's pace. Is this what I should do? Will I ever to be able to run again at a decent pace again without every muscle screaming out in agony?

You will I'm 52 and going for sub 35 10k again

Hi Erin. I'm 52 as well. One thing I did 12 months ago (and I wish I had done sooner) is bought a treadmill. I was also one of these runners who went out and tried to smash it every time. Then I heard about aerobic training and running at an easy pace. However, I just found it too hard as I'd always go out too fast or I'd get faster as my run progressed. Then I bought a treadmill and this problem was solved. All I had to do was dial in the correct pace and I knew then I'd be getting a true easy-pace run. Since then the benefits have been very notificable and the other benefit is, you can do a run regardless of the weather outside. I now also use the treadmill for incline strides and progressive runs. Honestly, I'd now probably do only two runs outdoors - a race pace run and a long run.

How about if we train aerobic by biking ? Does it help ?

[@summerbreezeau]

Even walking has aerobic benefit, even 1 minute, every second, every heart beat, helps to open more arterioles and alveoli , also to increase the little organelles in each muscle cell called mitochondria. It takes years to bring your maximum steady state to its absolute best possible capacity, as each cell replaces only about each six weeks, so it requires many regenerations of cells to increase every part of every muscle cell, lung, artery, vein, nervous system (the motor spark unit!!) and of course the ligaments and tendons. Over stress any part at any time is counter productive. The Tour de france guys ride for hours at easy (for them) pace for years to bring their steady state system up to a point where every cell has maximum mitochondria which create the cell energy. That is the first and most important part of the entire development. As a very very rough guide, not this is NOT A PRESCRIPTION , a typical 20 to 40 year old health male 60 to 80kg, will need to slowly build up to about an hour running most days, with perhaps a slower 2 hour walk run about each week or 2 and a few days where only a half hour but fairly fast are interspersed perhaps weekly. By slow, you should be able to run and SING CONSTANTLY without breathlessness. By faster, you should be able to speak short clipped sentences. Above that is actually sprinting, fine to put in any day in small doses, just be careful not to strain a muscle by trying too hard too often. Pure sprints only need to have a few by 50mtrs (2 or 3) about 2 days per week for marathon assistance, much more for shorter race preparation.
