Thank you, this will help a lot. I have been lacking in 1. strength & mobility 2. doing easy runs mostly with no speed workouts Deteriorated my improvement.
Hello James. I would appreciate a video on how to incorporate easy weeks. And especially, how the first week after an easy week should look like. Thank you
Should training for Trail running follow a different regiment from the suggestions of this video? (e.g slow runs 80% of the time with alternating tempo and fast intervals every other week)
James, I have been running for 5 months. My first half marathon is in 4 weeks. So I'm close to doing a small taper. I have looking into race pace calculations based on my recent anaerobic Threshold test. I have a prediction of 2:39, 2:42, and 2:03 in three different equations. In no way do I see this accomplishable in 4 weeks. The pace that is at I've only ran once for longer than a mile. Also I'm an easy pace enjoyer. I hate being close to red line for long and don't have the psychological endurance. I know my iron deficiency impacts my performance a lot. How do I go about making an actually achievable goal?
We should not compare the mileage between different runner's classes, the guy that asked this question probably haven't realised yet that his 30k long run is 3 hours or more, but an elite runner will run a 30k long run in 2 hours or less. Compare milage is easy but deceptive, more accurate is training time, because our body does not understand distance, it understands effort * time....

Thanks. This answers a lot of questions I had, especially regarding introducing speed work into my training schedule.
Well done! Thanks so much for the coaching!

Got the email, but saw the video first. Enjoyed the content! Thx for making.
Great stuff, here from the email BTW.
Some of the runners in the video have hilarious form😂

Yep. When I push too much in most runs it's just hurts me in the end.

Email received but already watched the vid.
