An accomplished runner will effectively be able to ascertain most of the pertinent physiological information by paying close attention to perceived exertion. There are a plethora of variables contributing to your ability to run @ a certain pace on a given day. Mental state, sleep privation,hydration,prior training protocols frequency of training,intensity of training ,the ambient temperature & heat index , surfaces, w or w/ o shoes( my favorite)on & on. So, by keeping an accurate running journal you can calculate how the protocols & methodologies you've employed will affect your entire kinetic chain. Supercomensation must be allowed to occur to ramp up this talked about lactate threshold or tempo run fluency @ a variety of distances. Bottom line,no one knows yr body better than you---you must learn to listen to it & pilot it through time& space much as you do from the cockpit of an airplane--reading all the gauges & adjusting accordingly. You are how you train.Enjoy!
Yesterday, for the first time, I was able to run comfortably in the Canadian (Montreal) autumn wearing things similar (though probably cheaper) than what you wear. As I'll be struggling to find a way to keep running and dressing properly as the winter arrives, I wonder if having a Canadian on the show could be an opportunity to explain to old novices like me how to dress properly when it gets cold (as in well below freezing)
layer it up Ralph. ;) Yesterday -8'C in NS, I wore merino long sleeve base under long sleeve warm running shirt, vest, dollar store gloves, merino neck warmer and headband/ear warmer. I wear variations of this all winter. Adding merino socks and a light or heavier running jacket as the wind picks up, temperature drops or it snows! Happy winter running!
On the recent Rich Roll podcast, Peter Attia suggests Zone 2 is a test of your mitochondrial efficiency.. how fit you are determines how well you body can access the fat storage at increasing higher workloads. See the 1h42m mark. The amount of visceral fat you have in your muscle tissue and surrounding your organs, determines how metabolically fit you are.. and it can roughly approximated using static tests (uric acid level, blood pressure, insulin, trigs, hdl, a1c, waist circumference), as well as dynamic tests, most importantly OGTT and lactate testing. If you're fit, your zone-2 heart-rate can be 85 percent of you maximum heart-rate, otherwise it's 75 percent or lower. It's important to know what your true/actual maximum heart-rate is. If your resting lactate level is above 2 mmol/L, then this indicates you will start accumulating lactate upon *any* exertion, so additional lactate testing is not useful.. instead use the Borg Rating of Perceived Exertion. If it's below 1, then you'll need a stationary bike / treadmill , and a lactate meter (yellow Lactate Plus seems more accurate for high lactate, and the blue Lactate Pro seems better for low lactate levels) to find what your heart-rate should be to stay in zone 2 (outdoor activity should be reserved for zone 5). The idea is you measure lactate (via ear) every 7 minutes to find what your heart rate is to stay below 2. There is a series 'Limitless' that's coming out soon, that may show this in action!
Great Video and you summed it up all to good at the end. HR. Really does reveal just how over or under trained you are. Stress is a HUGE factor along with nutrition and rest which equals training. You can be a fast runner and still be aerobically in BAD shape but you seldom see a well aerobically fit person not improve in 5K’s - 26.2 or Ultras
I feel like I watch these zone and thresh hold videos and still leave utterly unsure if I’m figuring this out correctly for myself…my HR with my easy runs always sits higher than these calculations would say it should be BUT while running I can nose breathe for 4-8 steps in/out and probably have a conversation if running with others(I typically run solo). So should I just stop worrying about what my HR says? I feel like if I go any slower sometimes I’m losing form and should just walk instead…
I struggled with the same thing. Nose breathing 4/4 casual and easy... with a heartrate of almost 150. My average heartrate during ultras was 164, for hours. It was frustrating, until I found out 2 things- I have high blood pressure, which increases HR, but also, on average, women have higher heart rates than men, and most of these numbers/ formulas were created by and for men.
Forcing yourself to run slow enough to get into those suggested lower aerobic heartrate zones is REALLY HARD, and I've basically given up trying. Despite pushing my pace to easy & hard extremes on 5Ks and long runs, my average HR rarely ever dips below 90% (according to months of Runalyze data from both Fitbit & Coros watches). I'd have to be a snail to get it much lower. I'm not in bad shape for my age, either...
It's easy on a bike. My fastest 5k was after a sommer doing a lot off base riding. Zone 2. And zero running. So I guess it works but yeah running super slow is hard for the ego 🤣
Sometimes I noticed in college as a basketball player. That I got introduced to over training. It's real. You hear/see 'keep pushing, keep pushing'.. Everybody has there limits. Remember the Greek soldier Pheidippides that the modern marathon is symbols died from the exhaustion

I’m so spoiled here in a place with moderate weather.

More excellent information. Thank you!

Got a 5 miler 42 mins nailed it’s good for 55 yrs ? More to come crack the 40 mins I’m a legend 😅
Is anaerobic threshold level for everybody 4.0mmol/L? Or can it be higher or lower for different kind of athletes?
Very informative! Thanks!

you should take your own pulse, these monitors are not always very accurate
Is is better to set your Heartrate Training zones based off of your lactic threshold HR or your Max HR (220 minus age)?
Love the science stuff!
I come for the thumbnail but was disappointed within the 1st second.
There’s no link to the next video, anyone got that?
Sounds like what Otto Warburg discovered about cancer and how it grows. Very interesting reading.
Dan!! Love the vids more great info. I have my first 50Km coming up next weekend and plan to burn fat and pieces of my soul in the process. Haha!

I wouldn’t worry about heart rate eventually it will fall in the categories after enough good running (and decent weather on the run)

Did this guy win that contest that had a while back for a new presenter.
Lactate combines with hydrogen to create lactic acid in the body though
This was helpful, and good for you for admitting mistakes, we all make them
Tell the truth, you put that backside on the thumbnail for more views. At least include it in the video lol
He put a pretty cute one anyway wonder if it was the same girl
@@kenwabb Found the wild gay 😂
did you say glycogen cells?
thanks for the great information & explanation coach 👍👍
Ttttty
Tttttttttt try t try tttttt
Ttttttttt
its a nice picture on a video, you open it to see and this is this old guy talking
Would you like to increase your lactate threshold and VO2 max ?
👍
wtf is up with that thumbnail??? Anyone else here because of that?
Very lame with the girl on the cover
Lol. Someone was disappointed by the content 😂
