So nice of you to not just explain the theory (which you did great!), but also gave us examples on how you do each type of run. Loveeeed the video!!!!.
adding these into my schedule... great content again! After my marathon will definitely be looking at one of your training plans for my next challenge.
Havent really done strides before but will give them a try now. Great idea to incorporate them into an easy run! Thanks Ben, really grateful that the inside running crew introduced me to your vids - perfect for my debut mara training
Great Content Ben. Been following you on social media for a while now and glad you created a RUclips account as you have already answered a lot of the questions I’ve been meaning to ask you but didn’t want to trouble you about in a Private Message. Keep up the good work 👍
Awesome to hear Dean. Glad you found the channel. Hoping to upload twice a week for now and see how it goes, so lots of new videos in the pipeline. Although feel free to ask me anything you want help with!
I live in Phoenix and have been doing hill repeats at 100-110 degrees out. Much steeper than that, we go for 1 minute as hard as you can then walk back down. Hardest workout of the year by far but gets you ready for the fall.
Thanks for this excellent video. For the hill repeats, what kind of gradient is ideal? Am I looking for +- 5%, more like 10, or even steeper? Thanks for your advice!
Great video as usual Ben well done. The exercise that had been helping me to increase my performances is a fartlek. it consists of running Fast (5k speed) and has 2 minutes Recovery between each interval. Goes like this 1min F, 2 min R , 2 min F , 2 min R , 3 min F, 2 min R , 2 min F, 2 min R , 1 min F , 2 min R , 2 min F , 2 min R , 3 min F, 2 min R , 2 min F, 2 min R , 1 min F , 2 min R....... and so on. It can be adjustable for as many reps possible within 30min or one hour. And are you running London Marathon this Sunday? cheers from Korea
How are you doing Ben hope your recovery is going great. I'm busy making a schedule for a 72K run by myself and adding these tips. Any more tips? Wishing you a speed recovery!
Great easy breakdown of 3 strong training sessions. Wondering how steep a gradient to run on hill sessions? Any recommendation would be much appreciated.
Sorry to ask a stupid question mate but when you say you build these sessions into your weekly sessions over a three week period. Does that mean basically that on week 1 you would do hill repeats around your running routine/plans Week 2 would be intervals around your running routine/plans Week 3 would be strides around your running routine/plans? I told you it was a stupid question but I always feel I'm doing wrong 🤷 Thanks mate, awesome video and great content 👍
The strides are good regardless of the distance you're training for. So try and get them in once a week after an 'easy' run. Then for 10k's I'd say doing 800m intervals is good, with a 3-4 minute standing rest. Beginner 4 reps, intermediate 5-6, advanced 8+. Good luck!
Hi Ben. In this moment I’m trying a new approach to my training. Just doing easy running under 135bpm trying to put 80km per week. Do you think it’s better put some speed work or build a good aerobic base before?
Good to put in 3 to 4 weeks of base building, then start to add some speed. Depends how much time you have.. but if you're not in a hurry working towards a dated goal, then that is what I'd recommend.
Ben Parkes thank you for take the time to answer me. I've 9 weeks till 50k trail. Not too demanding on uphill but it’s always a long distance to run. This year I’ve already 2x 50k trails, 1x 1/2 and 1x marathon and 2x 30k trails . Not looking for a pb but just have a good race.

Week 15 marathon plan! 11 april 2021 M-day!
Havent really done strides before but will give them a try now. Great idea to incorporate them into an easy run! Thanks Ben, really grateful that the inside running crew introduced me to your vids - perfect for my debut mara training
Love the podcast! My favourite one for sure.. All the best with your first marathon!
I think these kind of sessions help in running faster and being able to change the pace when needed.

Hi just say thank you for the videos
I am trying to improve my stride

Great work , each session clearly explained. I'm gonna squeeze some strides into my training. 👍
Your intro music alone wants me to get out and go for a run. A shame that it's a rest day today :)

I really like the idea of 5 minute intervals for marathon training! definitely going to try this for my September marathon training

Awesome channel ben
Thank you David!
This is fantastic Ben!! Thank You!!
I hardly need to warm up at all
Do some head circles arm too core hips less and ankles
Leg swings high knee butt kicks
5 minutes tops good to go
Hi, good stuff!
How are you doing Ben hope your recovery is going great.
I'm busy making a schedule for a 72K run by myself and adding these tips.
Any more tips?
Wishing you a speed recovery!
Awesome stuff Ben! 👍
Great video and useful tips. Will give them a go... :-)
Great video Ben. 👍
Great easy breakdown of 3 strong training sessions. Wondering how steep a gradient to run on hill sessions? Any recommendation would be much appreciated.
(hill repeats that is)- looking at 7xhill repeats on my plan tomorrow and unsure if my current hill is right
Hey Ben. been watching lots of your videos they are so inspirational and motivational. Do u coach runners at all like personally?
Great info!!!!
Another great vid! I’m hoping to incorporate this into my running, thanks again Ben. 😀
Thank you. Let me know how you get on!
Loving your videos.:) ~ happy running
Thank you Alex. Plenty more coming your way!
How steep is that hill? 200m long you said?
Sorry to ask a stupid question mate but when you say you build these sessions into your weekly sessions over a three week period.
Does that mean basically that on week 1 you would do hill repeats around your running routine/plans
Week 2 would be intervals around your running routine/plans
Week 3 would be strides around your running routine/plans?
I told you it was a stupid question but I always feel I'm doing wrong 🤷
Thanks mate, awesome video and great content 👍
what about 1 mile goal?
Hi Ben. I run 3 times a week. About 30 to 40 kms. How do i incorporate these 3 into my routine. Thanks in advance
I do one speed workout a week, alternating each week. 1 tempo run and 1 long. 3 easy/recovery days and 1 day complete rest.
What sort of length or duration of hill would you be looking for?
Great video! Which session in particular would you advise to help build up from 5K to 10K runs? ☺
The strides are good regardless of the distance you're training for. So try and get them in once a week after an 'easy' run. Then for 10k's I'd say doing 800m intervals is good, with a 3-4 minute standing rest. Beginner 4 reps, intermediate 5-6, advanced 8+. Good luck!
Ben Parkes thank you 😁
Can u place a marker to where u r turning ,near the lamppost ?

Can these be part of a half marathon training schedule?
Great tips. Thanks Ben. Oh now you are a 2.25 marathoner after Valencia
Thank you David! Yes, so so happy. Hope your running is going well!
Pleased you've made a RUclips account 👍 I hate that hill 🙈
It's a tough hill for sure, but not as bad as the one on the other side of the park!
Ben Parkes strangely I find the road easier! I think it's because I don't want the cars to see me stop before reaching the top 😂
The hill on the rooms hill side is horrendous!

What hat have you got on please?
It's from a company called Ciele Athletics. Although I'm making my own currently, so that will be out in a few months!
Thanks Ben and I'm enjoying the videos
