1. Consistency - putting in the work week after week and month after month (consistency isn't just in the running, but also in your diet, sleep, recovery, strength training, everything) 2. Long runs - Getting a good long run in each week and build up the distance over time 3. Strength training - Sandwiching runs with dynamic warmup before, core + strength exercises afterward and getting in the gym as well.
I come from a weight lifting background, pilates and yoga. I've never run before, I'm not a big guy but I'm relatively athletic form the work I've done. I've started running 3-4 times a week over the last two months and I feel really good in my body. I stretch and warm up before every run. Appreciate your clear approach. I'm only doing 5-8k runs now which I built up to, and aiming to do a slow 9 or 10k in the next couple of days.
I'm curious. I have seen the red lens glasses in other videos you make. Do they help with your running in some way (I'm thinking, like making tree roots more visible on trails or something?) or do you just happen to like them? Thanks!
Thanks, Jason! Quick question/free advice attempt: Coming off a 50k last year where my long training runs were 22+ miles on trails, I am looking to focus on a faster 10k for a couple of months this winter before ramping up for a 50 miler. How long do you recommend keeping my long runs during a speed-focused build?

Glad to hear you've started running! Sounds like you have a healthy approach to your training!
Exactly what I tell people that are the keys to getting better. Great advice thank you!
Goal for this year is to up my sprint speed and my performance on the beep test.
As someone hoping to do my first half then full marathon I'll try to be accountable to these tips for 2024. ✌️ from Trinidad and Tobago.
Happy 2024 Jason! Great tips as always.
Happy birthday
Thank you
The untold secret to more speed and endurance is yellow sunglasses.
Sure why not?!

Those are the "Pineapple Painkillers" glasses from Goodr. They don't do anything specific except give me a rose-colored view of the world :)
Longrun is really important. Even 1500m Athletes do up to 90mins long runs.
And longer! Nick Willis has run a sub-4 mile for 20 years straight and regularly does 18mi long runs

If possible, why not run 15-20 miles for your long run? Will too much endurance hamper your 10k (hint: no)? ;)
Thanks for the tips what brand are those sunglasses goodr?
Yes, Pineapple Painkillers by Goodr!
Are those gunshots in the background
