When you talk about power development in the gym, my first thought is explosive stuff like Olympic lifting - clean and press, snatch, even dumbbell snatch. But having seen lots of your content, I feel like you lean more towards squats and deadlift. Is that true?
I would concentrate more on the squat/deadlift side of things, unless you enjoy Olympic lifts but even just learning to do the lifts efficiently takes a lot of time I would also add Romanian deadlifts (single and double legged) Also Bulgarian split squats, unilateral leg exercises are fantastic for runners as running is like a series of unilateral leg exercises so the neurological carryover is very good
For 1) it depends on your race, doesn't it? If my race pace is zone3/4 gray zone dead zone, then I need to train at the effort often. Tempo and sub LT2 efforts are going to make me a better HM and FM runner.
Short answer is no. You don’t need to train at your race pace, (unless you are practicing pacing) hard days should be faster than race pace, easy days should be easy, never any faster than conversational. All distances are the same, just volume and workouts change, I’m sure there are videos on this channel that discuss this further.
Just one thing: while polarised training indeed focuses on doing easy runs easy, Seiler himself has made it clear that we shouldn't make our hard runs even harder. +1 pro tip: lose weight. Not through training, but through a caloric deficit. It makes you faster AND more efficient almost automatically. :P
@@fastinradfordable well, in science and tech, i think that measures should be the same, the meter being the official measure, i'd rather see more meters and Km than miles. The worst thing is that of the few countries that use miles, the miles don't even measure the same length in each of them. Most of the distances in running are KM or meters. The only weird distances are the Marathon and the half Marathon.
Always giving the running community valuable info. Thank you.
Thanks for the great content as always Jason!
Appreciate it, Brandon!
These advices really resonated with me. Thanks!
That's the great mindset. Thank you 🙏
Great points from a 57 year old running 20.30 for 5km follow his advice
Love these videos so much!
Thanks for the tips!
Good tips!

I just lift rocks while doing one leg dips
There’s always bigger or smaller rocks.
And they’re free.

Great advice but I’m considering not watching the RUclips uploads. There’s only so many times one can watch the nicely placed advert…

It’s your right.

Enough for what?
I ran no more than 65-80k in highschool and ran 15:39 5k

Sjamone
and if you spoke in km like the rest of the world?
Millions of people forced to be raised in miles in North America.
They did not decide policy.
Why u think the whole world should be same?
