This is exactly how im training, finally someone i can relate to. Im new to this running and wondering if im doing it the right way. Glad i can follow your journey
@@mrsoldiersam I've been running for over 22yrs. I've trained with lots of different methods, what I explain in this video is what works best from them all. I'm going to run a sub 3hr marathon in 2025 using the same tactics. It's what works best.
I came back from a long injury end of 2023 after almost 2yrs of minimal to no running. Took it easy for a few months coming back and gradually built it up like double digit miles. I kept my slow runs really slow for a good while and still include a few plods now. Trained properly for the first time this year which has resulted in the highest milege, fastest times over 5 and 10k and most importantly stayed injury free. Much to he said about the patient approach clocking up those easy miles as you have eluded too 👌 i like your message and well done on getting back to your best 👏💪
Strava request made 👍 , I train using metrics set out by my coach but my races are always percieved effort .. so sounds like you ran the race perfectly (nice to feel good at the end of it)
@@RunSensible running Boston in April. I am looking to run it smoothly rather then pushing for a PB if the latter happens then good , but not my personal focus.
So your easy running is just marathon pace? You don't run a marathon at easy running pace. 5:40 easy running pace would be about 4:30 marathon pace anyway
@@kmrazordesigns2105 I did the Valencia Marathon last week and ran the first half at 4.22/km. That felt easy but I knew I couldn't hold that pace for the second half so I dropped to 4.35/km. For me, and I appreciate everybody is different, running 1hr at 4.30/km is really easy in terms of effort or output.

@@mrsoldiersam are you training for anything in particular?
Excellent recap, Neilo 👌 You seem to have the hang of this running stuff now 😎💪
@@markg99 thanks, Sparky.
Well done mate… big improvement !
@@movemorenowjames cheers, James. A long drawn out journey but we'll worth it. I just signed up for Valencia next year too.

@@whereweoffDAD thank you for the message. It sounds like you did everything perfectly with your own training. Keep going - I'm just getting started.
@RunSensible that's the attitude 👏👌
Great video…Sounds very sensible to me…!

@@JohnBirtchetSharpe sounds like a great way to train and race. Request accepted! 👊
@@JohnBirtchetSharpe what are you training for at present?

@JohnBirtchetSharpe that's class. Yep I had a goal for Valencia but the main objective was to run it well, which I did.
