Will one day join you guys,, am still revisiting my schedule and improve it on a daily basis ,,you not only insipire me butalso motivate me, thanks for the update.❤👍👊👌
I like Phillip’s point about focusing on the race and cutting out distractions to be mentally prepared and rested. Love your content, thank you for sharing. I’ve got my first marathon this Sunday and your videos have helped me in my training!
It sounds like they have a great, well informed coach. Race pace sessions, half volume easy runs. Maybe you could cover this topic; 'coaching in Uganda'. Over the last two years me and my coach have developed such a great bond and both of us keep learning a lot about methods, how your personality affects things, and also race prep. I can imagine good coaches might be few, and not all athletes have a personal relation with a coach. Having a good coach is crucial to develop an athlete. What do you think?
Thanks Kasper. Yes that would be interesting to look at. Yes coaching is very important. Your coach sounds great. The elite athletes are smaller groups and get more attention from their coaches. Aziz and the majority of other athletes here are in big local camps and get less personalised attention.
Yes great experience being here. Thinking about the best way to get watches here and then will share opportunity for viewers to support the athletes 🙏🏿
I run a parkrun 5k every week, i'm pretty sure if I did a taper i would get a pb, but that would mean cutting down on training, i never carb load as I am happy to keep getting closer to what my ideal race weight would be. Love to see how quality Ugandan athletes train. Beautiful country.
@alvinkarangizi 37km a week right now, working on the 80:20 plan 80% easy and 20% full effort. So it's a slow build of the engine. The A race target is the mid-cheshire 5km in August. I'd like to go 19:XX for that one. Have you got a specific race you're training for?
Not sure they’ll be a benefit tapering with that mileage, perhaps just resting more…increasing it will help towards your goal. I’ve not got a race planned yet, just gradually increasing my fitness after a recent period of hardly running because of a busy job
@@alvinkarangizi I don't get the pain when I run less frequently, however I reduced the distance to only 2Km per day so that I can run everyday. Should I still run less frequently say 3 times a week in the beginning?
Yeah run fewer times a week to begin with. Your cardio respiratory system develops quicker than your muscle and joints. Be patient and let them strengthen before increasing distances and frequency. Strength work as advised by Jeff useful too. All the best with your training 👍🏿
This content is what the world need
Thanks!

You’re welcome! Yeah Philip and other athletes here have so much discipline! All the best with your race on Sunday 👍🏿

I like your input and awesome videos. Keep the good work and keep sharing
Thanks!
Legendary Alvin you are a genius thanks so much for breaking down the code.
Thanks, much appreciated!
Thanks for all the data info! Especial on paces on min/km.
You’re welcome!
We are truly proud of our Ugandan boys. Let's take the race to the other eastern African athletes. We can win many times over
Yes proud of them too 🇺🇬
God bless all those great runners❤❤❤
Amen
This is a very insightful share, Alvin💡
Thank you!
It'd be super cool to train with these potential athletes.👍I appreciate the opportunity to gift something to them
Yes great experience being here. Thinking about the best way to get watches here and then will share opportunity for viewers to support the athletes 🙏🏿
Don't walk around the race city for hours before the race. That's a good lesson for taper.
Good one 👍🏿

Thanks for sharing! What’s your weekly mileage?

Carn loading is overrated and for anything less than a HM, you don't need it anyway.

I get motivated seeing these videos and start running but repeatedly end up with pain in ankles😢. This is stopping me from continuing running everyday
Have you tried using resistance bands to strengthen your ankle?
Do you get it when you run less frequently, say every other day or every three days?
@@alvinkarangizi I don't get the pain when I run less frequently, however I reduced the distance to only 2Km per day so that I can run everyday.

How about the taper for marathon bro?
Might specifically cover it in future, will see
Watch everyone trying to see what sneakers they are wearing
