Thanks Dom! Definitely agree, long runs are key, and I wish I could do more hills but Amsterdam is too flat unfortunately. Do you have any races on the agenda?
@@quintvanbeek oh I feel you! I used to live in Berlin which is likewise flat as a pancake, but this is (most of the time) a great thing for running. I have a half mara and full mara coming up in the next few months.
thx for the tipps. great video. i checked out your strava and noticed the very low elevation gains. do you think getting stronger by doing hills is not that important to get faster?
Hey Paul! Thanks for the comment! Yes for sure, in an ideal world I would do hills at least once every two weeks but since Amsterdam is pancake flat the only hills I find are small bridges 😅 I do gym and sessions on the bike to compensate a little
Great tips, bro!!
New subscriber here. Great content.
Thanks MrJermson, appreciate the support! More to come!
Great sessions Quint, thank you for sharing.
Thanks Bartek! Give them a go!
strong running, Quint! I find weekly hill sessions and weekly long runs have been hugely helpful in bumping down my 10km time. good luck in Hackney!

@@AverageDomSlim best of luck in your training! Hope it goes well!
You should really consider going down the trainer route! Great tips, looking forward for your next race 🎉
Thanks! I might get the certification at some point :)

@@quintvanbeekI know the pain, my neighbourhood is pretty flat too. You're doing really well regardless!
@@bartekzielinski1645 thanks Bartek! Normally when I go somewhere hilly I make the most of it 😅
@@quintvanbeek got it. thx for answering and the interesting video
I'm going to try vary my routes a little to seek a bit more elevation though!
10k is my favorite distance.
The more I race it the more I like it but after having done marathons for a while it was tough!
