Join me as I push through a simple threshold running session. Discover the power of persistence and see how determination leads to breakthrough improvements. Watch my journey from struggle to success and get inspired to keep pushing forward in your own training!
Start adding this session once per week, and your running will thank you for it. Keep it simple, and see how your body progresses.
I’ve now been running seriously for roughly 4 months, and I can confidently say your channel is the absolute best in the running world. No gimmicky titles, no “This one simple thing will get you a PB!!” BS. You keep it very real. Your advice of consistency and discipline, and being honest about how some runs will just suck really have helped me. I can say I’ve seen improvement, physically and mentally, in my training in part from your videos. Keep up the great work man.
Somehow you are the most relatable runner I have seen on this platform whilst being the most unrelatable in terms of the times you run. Always love the videos and how vulnerable you are in all topics. I'll get out for that harder run tomorrow. Thank you.
Haha that’s great, but keep chipping away, the times get better
Well said, we can all relate to him as a person regardless of our times.
Facts
As someone who runs Ultras I'd genuinely love to see an elite marathoner like yourself get in to 100's. No doubt training changes would be needed but it would be amazing to see
Training be brutal
@@stephenscullion262brutal for sure. I have a couple running buddies training for a 100km. They casually (and ironically) say “yeah it’s not too far…it’s just running 20 miles, three times.”
Hiya, out the blue question for you. How can you take training like this and transfer it to an ultra. I have entered my first one for next year and I am going to base my training around marathon plans and paces. Maybe the fastest runs being threshold type stuff. Chuck some hiking in there.
Just wondering what your thoughts are on this?
@@chrism589 If you're not a pro you will benefit from executting any running plan. You have huge space to improve. I race my first part of season flat, then go trail, mountains and ultras. However go specific 3 months before the race. That mean running (or power hicking) the way you will run your race. Try to keep zone 2 tempo, stack back-to-back day training to accumulate volume, eat and drink, use vest or backpack. The most important is time spent on legs, not onlyu the distance. Good luck with your race :)
@@ImprezowyKotek thanks👍
I've been feeling low lately, running has been going really bad and other stuff going on in life. Was absolutely pissing down all day yesterday in Dublin but I decided fuck it I'm just going for a run. It was the first time in weeks I had a good run, I could have run all evening and I came home with that elusive runners high. Dunno if everything just suddenly clicked or if running in the warm rain had an effect on my brain but it felt so good.
I love running in the rain, and running at a treshholdy pace feels good for me. High effort burns too much, low effort is exhausting on it's own.
I'm currently struggeling too. I have a small depressiv phase. It's not that i feel miserable, or couldn't do anything, but i'm emotionally detached. So i neither get good or bad feelings from a run, and my sense of effort is numb. I really appreciate your videos in those days as they push me towards running and stop me from doing something else or nothing at all. Thx.
Keep trucking on brother.
“Put a structure and plan in place that will allow for a great result.
It might not create a great result but with all those things in place I’ll be able to live with myself on the other side no matter how it goes.” Great stuff! 14:51
I've seen you running at bushy park. It's pretty cool seeing how fast and effortless a pro runner makes it look
Its amazing. He was out doing an easy (5.45per mile) run at victotia park Belfast aboyt 2 years ago and I tried to run behind and match his mechanics. Lasted 1k and felt like I needed to vomit!
@@Gavinfunk69 😂😂😂 1k at 5:45 though, I'd take that!! 💪
Really good to see you running well and that you are also feeling better about the training after a bit of a "slump". You sound positive too and I want to add that I respect you enormously for showing your vulnerability and allowing a few tears to flow post race when realising Paris was not on the cards. I am certain you have some amazing performances in store!! 👌💪
There’s a lot I love about your videos and content, but one of the things I love most is seeing all the footage of the park where I started my (very very average!) running journey nearly 8 years ago now…god I miss that place! Running heaven ❤
Congrats your putting in the work(mentally and physically).
I’m an ultra runner and use your workouts weekly. Running hard ( for me) at 62.
I really appreciate your perspective. I feel OK to work harder thanks to you! The whole zone 2 stuff, is over used. The body will find a way to make any pace feel hard. Need to trick the body to make hard feel easy!
Well the zones really depend on what you are after. Low effort is great to boost fat metabolism.
But carbs can last for 1-2h, it's not really stressig your oxygen system, and it won't increase your strength.
Also your body won't stop using fats if you hit higher intensity. So if you are time constraint sending it will give you more than staying in zone 2 religiously.
Good to see you getting back into that head space Stephen. Enjoy the process.🏃🏻♂️
Excellent Video.Touching on the ups and downs and the inner struggles , while staying motivated and disciplined as an endurance Athlete.
It’s mingin on my run today too. Thanks for reiterating to get it done and not worry about speed
Wow what a video, great to hear about a slump. I've been the same since running Edinburgh half and then a bout of ecoli. Really struggled to get going again. Good videos keep them going👍👍👍
Love running in the rain. Something freeing about it. Idk.
Humid warm rain, but wasn’t bad at all, not a filthy cold winter rain
Saw you at Elmbridge 10k, beat me by over 10mins 😂- well done btw, great content.
This is a really great video today and incredibly motivational. Great words and really relatable!!
It's hard for me to wake up at 5 am everyday to finish my training; having two jobs and a family is really time consuming. The stress is immeasurable :(
Dude I feel you….training for a marathon in the morning, full time job during the day, and being Dad to my baby girl and helping my wife in the evening. It’s a lot, but it’ll pay off in the end. You got this man.
@@bfrazer8696 too late. i quit running this season. i need a break physically, metnally and financially. Also my legs hurt bad. They are full of injuries.
Great to see the session with the camera man's help and then learn about it! Did you upgrade camera because it looks good 👌
Thanks for yet another really helpfull video steven my good man.
Love your stuff Scully
Content superb as always. Trust in the process; got it. Do the work; got it. Quick question- What are the white / red sole shoes carrying you along the paths, please?
Must've been a great feeling :) when everything seems to click again.
Never compare yourself with other runners out there times you dont' know if they are returning from injuries, or have only stepped out of the front door and you may have run to the track first or returning yourself from injury or your lactate in low today you never know..... what head issues people have just compare you are your last runs..... (apologies for my spelling and typo)
Can you do a video about pulse during a marathon? Are you anything in zone 2 or do you start in Z3? And how do you plan when to ramp up to zone 4 etc?
Lactate checking I find interesting, and as my Wife is a Type-1D, she races indoors on a bike and makes me wonder how it interacts with her Bg levels. Great insights thank you.
2/3/4/5 6/sf easiest...3/4/5 mostly 4/5 is Tempo stdy ...2/3 is race/trial...1/2 is sprint track
Unfortunately knowing my old body I can no longer do too much speed workout in running without hurting myself. I limited the hard workout exclusively on bike and swimming, and only do zone 2 run. I enjoy running but also have to listen to my own body.
Don't take this as a bad thing, but after reading just a few comments here it seems very obvious than many might doubt themselves and really, really need a coach or cheerleader to keep pushing forward...
Man how you make 5:02 per mile look so damn easy ❤
Always got a soft spot for Stephen knowing we share the same birthday but I'm that one year younger 😂
Super duper Video! Fenks 😊
Any tips for getting the groove back after falling short of a goal due to injuries stephen?
Brilliant.
You are the man
Triathlete, done some VO2Max runs in the winter, really not a lot, mostly really short and/or uphill. Rest was focusing on Threshold running. But unfortunately can't really say that my LT2 has improved significantly :/ Maybe overall training load too high or running Threshold too hard, not sure
11:15 is why I don't use Strava. I do my workouts and they exist in my watch's memory for viewing personally by me and I don't have to compare it with others or have that mental weight on what it looks like vs other's. Giving Facebook vibes and why I quit it lol.
Great
I love your problem solving attitude towards running.
Hey! In between your reps you’re slow jogging. It looks like you’re barely lifting your feet up. What pace was that haha 7:00 per mile?!!!
Judging from the grin on your face going in the right direction. 👍
Ha. I thought people might enjoy that for a little change, grumpy old fart lately
Sir today I do my threshold workout 3x2k in between 7:55-8:10 with 1:30 second rest and 3x1k in between 3:30-3:35 same rest time period and in last i do 2x200m in between 27-29. So sir according to you I'm in shape of breaking sub 4:00 minute 1500m . And sir when I start my first reps of 2k I feel little bit tired but when we go 2nd reps or further reps my body go very smooth. So sir plz guide me according to you and suggest your opinion to break sub 4:00 minute barrie of 1500m . And thre is any suggestions related to my this performance plz tell me I will definitely work on it.
What’s your 1500 pb?
Would you be able to enlighten me why my lactate always hit 4mmol @ 85% of HRR heart rate? In order to stay below 4mmol i have to keep my HR below 85% of HRR😅
Making the rest us us mere mortals feel inadequate :-)
Do you coach?
Trust the process!!!
I think so
How much time off between reps???
What are you training for currently scull?
Will have race schedule soon. Will be 10k, half marathon, and marathon before end of year, maybe 2 x half marathons
Talk to me when you are 65.
As far as looking at others online and what they are saying... You have *no clue* with who these ~people might be, if they are *telling the truth* or *even* if they are real people or a *BOT.* *Believing* words from an unknown source is not alot different than *believing* such things as religions that have no real proof either.
Shave you chest and the speed will certainly pick up for you organically!
How old is Scullion ? 52 or 53 I think.....I pray he does not have a heart attack.....wow.....why is he on this fools folly ??
What?
Think he's 53
@@jacklafferty6654 he's 53 mate
Just a thought, but have you thought about doing a 15min video of your whole week of training rather than talking for 15min about just one session? 🙂 I think it would be more engaging 🤌
