Another great show. I have to say I have reverted back to listening/watching whilst not running as people at the gym or out in the street think I am a bit strange laughing to myself when running, and also I nearly fell off the treadmill!!! So funny though, love it.
Just noticed somebody already mentioned this, but Frederik Zillen just put out a video this week based on a research study that found overweight and obese runners have no greater incidence of knee injury than runners with a “normal”(deliberate ironic quote marks) BMI. Apparently heavier runners run in a way that limits the ground reaction force that goes up through their joints, but lighter runners are more likely to run in a way that creates greater impact on their joints. So Rick, though I’m in the same camp as you and would like to get back to a fighting weight, it may actually increase the forces on my knees and increase the risk of injury rather than decrease them. Counterintuitive, but something to keep in mind!
Regarding the guy at London doing the wine tasting, there's a marathon in France (marathon du medoc) where all the water stops have wine, there's steak oyster stops, orchestras dotted around the course and everyone runs in fancy dress
I listen to the show as a podcast on a Saturday while doing household jobs .. but had to visit the you tube posting just to see this jacket Rick was wearing .. getting 80's flashbacks .. Rick it's like you just walked off of the set of the fifth element .. love it .
It was a beautiful surprise to hear Sam Taylor's news. It inspired me to keep being patient and doing what my physio tells me and nothing else. I had a ballot place for London Marathon this year, but came off my bike pretty spectacularly in January and haven''t been able to run since. I've carried on following Running Channel, and volunteering at ParkRun. Your inclusion and acknowledgement of Not Currently Runners is heartening and appreciated!
Love half marathons, I think it’s my favourite distance. Ran my first half last October, and my second last weekend. Managed to reduce my time by nine mins and came in at 01:44:29. Sooooo happy! 🎉 Loving the content, banter, tips, jokes (mostly at Rick’s expense 😂) - keep it coming!
Perfect timing 🎉, I am just 4 years into my late in life (M56) running journey, and have run a few 10K races. I have signed up for Copenhagen half in September and is in week 5 of a 24 week half marathon plan. So much looking forward to any “half” tips and tricks you can share in the next months.
Andreas Almgren, recently started to run longer distances. He was good at 1500 metres to begin with but now he's been killing it in the 10K and HM. 26:53 and 59:23, respectively. National Records by a huge margin. Good to have that 1500-speed in the 10K-finish. Looking forward to seeing him in the Olympics. Go Team Sweden! 🇸🇪🇸🇪🇸🇪
I totally get the mood regulation idea, I've coined a phrase which explains my near 4 second reduction in 5k times last year. "Rage Running" for when you've just about had enough and that anger can propel you to new speeds, you know the feeling where a easy run just won't cut it and you don't want structure you just need to run hard !!!
To Andy's comment about marathoners being dialed in, it makes sense when you look at how well developed aerobic bases and thresholds look on an elite runner. It's essentially an e^a(current pace+marathon pace) function. They just have an a >> 1, but once current pace > marathon pace off to infinite it goes.
Rick, watch Fredrik Zillen's recent video on the subject of weight Vs knees. Of course if you feel like you want to lose some weight, go for it, but it probably won't change the knee situation. Less Gavi - more pace 😂
It makes sense to me in terms of physics. Assuming that you only drop body fat and keep your muscle mass, you will improve your W/kg level and will be able to run faster, because the same power output has to move a lower weight. The problem is that running at higher paces increases the load exponentially. So the lower load because of a lower body weight is offset or even exceeded by the higher impact due to faster running. I'd propose the following solution: If you want to look into losing weight first without increasing your running pace, then it's probably a lower load on your joints and it will feel easier. Do that for some time, keep your overall pace the same while you build up strength in your quads, glutes and hips to protect your knees and get your body ready for higher intensity. Then you'll be able to increase your running paces when your muscles and joints can handle the higher load.
Rick absolutely the best idea When I want to drop weight I’ve found the only thing that really works for me is reducing my carb intake (I know😮). Really just less at dinner (no potatoes or pasta and just more veg) It makes the weight drop off me quickly, I feel so much better and have much more energy
What would you say are the key sessions to be done on a weekly basis for half marathon success? Going for sub 1:30 in a few weeks, would massively appreciate it!
Training for my first half (well the block starts Monday), but so excited for it! A goal to have fun, B goal sub 2 hours (think that should be do-able for me, think I could be more ambitious for a time goal, but I'm unsure of predictions)
Should we use carbon plate shoes while training? Do they help prevent injury? I avoid using them for regular runs as they are a bit too expensive for everyday use and I save them for PR attempts.
I've only tried on carbon shoes once and I felt like I wasn't stable - took them off and stuck to my regular shoes. Kinda put me off trying them more regularly
Just listened to this on my 17k long run as I prepare for my second half marathon and had to re-watch just to see what Rick was wearing. 😳😮🤔😁. Today I tried some overnight oats as breakfast to try and get some more carbs in. Any breakfast suggestions and time before a run advice?
@@runningchannel entry includes a day at the theme park with only people linked the the running event, much quieter. see you there? 🏃🏃♀️🏃🏃♀️🏃🏃🏃♀️🏃🏃♀️🏃🏃🎢🎢🎢🎢🎢🎡🎢🎠🎢🎠🎡🎢🎢🎢
I heard that a zebra named Sugar was loose here in Washington State, USA. Rick, were you in Washington? According to the NYtimes it was caught with "white bread, oats, and positivity"
I think weight loss and performance requires a more nuanced conversation. If you are 25 lbs overweight (me), getting down to a more healthy body weight will take a massive amount off of your race times (and make your knees hurt less.). I am currently in about 25 min 5K shape … loosing the weight should bring me down to 23:3O. For me this is a very reasonable strategy. Problems arose when folks with healthy BMIs try to push their weight too low.
I think many people get skin problems from increased protein intake. But I'm no expert I wash my face with soap and never used spf - where do you find the time?
The new generation take three weeks to get back, The oldies took three days. We also did not do gels. Gym membership is a membership to nothing rather buy new pair of running shoes.
My father in law was a runner when my husband was a child. He ran London in 2:32. No gels, no carbon shoes and fish and chips the night before to fuel him 😂
Glad to hear Andy's update on his health and that everything is okay now
So happy for Sam Taylor, the Runner Formerly Known As The Former Runner. 👍 Wishing him many more enjoyable runs to come.

I am not ready to run it this year but I plan on going there to cheer and take pictures as I live close by
Ran my first 10K today, finished at 47:38. Planning to run another 10K in autumn and hoping to improve my time then.
Awesome achievement
That's an impressive time for your first 10km!
Thank you both! I've been doing some structured training following Garmin suggested workouts, and it seems to have worked.

I'm convinced that the solution to lower the load on your knees is to run in lower drop shoes.
Have recently discovered Fredrik zillen. What a legend

Please do a video on Rick’s visit to the podiatrist. I’ve recently been diagnosed with an arthritic knee so would be very interested in the outcome 👍🏼

Should we use carbon plate shoes while training? Do they help prevent injury? I avoid using them for regular runs as they are a bit too expensive for everyday use and I save them for PR attempts.
From what I've read, heard and done - it is useful to do some sessions in them (in my experience the fast stuff) so you get used to them. HTH.
Spot on!
@@UTubeSL Thanks, that’s what I do. I just can’t do my weekly park run in a 250$ shoe. Only those that I feel ready to push for a PR. 😂
@faulypi haha know exactly where you're coming from! 🙂
Darn, I nearly tripped during my 20 miles long run because I was laughing so hard
😂😂😂
Can we have a long-form video on Rick's skincare routine? 😂
Haha great idea!
@@runningchannel maybe needs its own series
Surely Rick already has another RUclips channel in the works for this?
Pleaaaseeee I'm begging for a 5k wine tasting Rick video ❤❤❤

funny that this comes out about faster half marathons the day after i just did my first half marathon - sub 2 hours! (just)
Congratulations that’s awesome 🙌
Hey Andy, what was your strategy for your training run? Did you chunk it?
Andy you should do Run Alton Towers ½ marathon, it's a really good enjoyable race with a fun atmosphere
Good shout!

reading this literally the afternoon after a morning half marathon.. oh..
Maybe see if you can test who can do the half marathon better an elite 5k runner or a elite marathoner if you can find anyone
Rick, you say Aldi like we do in the States
😂 Noted!
Marathons, take all the glory you guys need to talk more about half marathons and ultra marathons. Come on, you're the running channel.
A half marathon? Do it, do it, do it!!!
What is a gavi?
It's a white wine haha

How many kids does andy actually have? Signed up a couple of months ago. Have wstched a lot of videos and still cant figure it out!
Nobody's entirely sure, probably not even Andy! You lose count after a while. 😂
😂 I think it’s only like 3 or 4

I think many people get skin problems from increased protein intake. But I'm no expert I wash my face with soap and never used spf - where do you find the time?
I would be afraid that running form is more important that kg mass. Running slow kills my knees...
I think both are quite significant. Look up how to reduce knee pain on Arthritis Society’s website.
