Just listened to this on my Sunday 2 hour run. Love it! I appreciate the intel. Higher mileage here we come (and more race pace and faster )

@@supwellyes, a bit of a gamble. I did it last year too after the Austin 3M half marathon. My body was more trashed from the half with a lot of downhill than I was in Houston. I think my limitation was aerobic conditioning more than physical- so I’m going to get a lot of slower time on feet to up the mileage w/ some threshold. Going to put a video out Friday with 2024 race plan. Great to see your channel taking off! Selfishly, a video on how you balance work, dad life, running while consistently posting to KZread is a video I’d love to see

Man…those are not “hobby jogger” speeds. Come on.

you're very welcome! let me know if you have any other questions you'd like me to answer in a future video

Great video! How do you manage your training with your work/family? With 100miles a week, you gotta be doing some doubles. Thanks!

@supwell

4 ай бұрын

yes i do doubles 3 to 5 times a week. sometimes i take my son out in the stroller for that second run. other times i squeeze it in on one of my breaks. i'm fortunate to work from home and live in an amazing neighborhood for running where i can step out my door and get anything up to 16 miles without leaving the area. in the mornings i typically do 10 to 12 miles and then will do 4 to 8 most afternoons. i've been doing three weeks on, 1 week off with the down week at 75 miles to give my body a recovery period

Transitioning to standing desk at work has been a game changer. Sitting is the devil. It's like S&C you can do 8hrs a day without having to schedule it in!

Most people should sit down at their desk sometimes as well

Interesting video. Do you change mileage in different seasons? Do you run long and tempo run as progression runs?

@supwell

4 ай бұрын

yes after a big race i will always take at least 3 to 4 weeks of down mileage. and a few times throughout the year i will naturally cycle my mileage down. and yes tempo runs i do as progressions where i usually end faster. for the long run it really depends on how i feel. because my life is so busy with family, work etc, i can't always guarantee that i'll feel great for the long run - so sometimes i'll do it at a nice relaxed pace, sometimes i'll do a workout in it, sometimes i will fast finish. the ideal is to finish the long run with the last 3 miles at marathon pace, but i'm not always recovered enough from the week to do that (and i'd rather get the aerobic mileage in than risk an injury pushing it)

I'm doing Chicago too. Flying over from England 🤟. Would be good to meet you

@@supwell sounds good. Our pb's are very similar too over all distances according to strava. Should be good 👍

It's so damn impressive how you progressed from your first marathon to where you are right now in such a short time. It's just under two years, if I got it correctly?

thanks and yes first marathon was charlotte in november 2022. i ran for a few years before that so had some experience with getting my long run mileage up to 13+, but didn't put the structure around it until that first marathon training block

Great content! During your April marathon, how many grams of carbs per hour are you aiming to consume? Also, how often are you fueling during a marathon?(every 20-25min?)

@supwell

4 ай бұрын

thanks! i haven't nailed down my exact strategy yet but what i've been doing with success during my long runs is a full bottle of the tailwind endurance fuel (2 scoops, so that works out to 40 grams of carbs or 250 calories). and then 2 maurten 100 caffeine gels, each of which have 25 grams of carbs. so that works out to about 75 grams of carbs total, plus a carb heavy breakfast before, which is probably an additional 50+. but i need to finalize this still - if anything i would add 1 or 2 extra maurten gels

You have great info but for me it is so difficult to hit over 45-50 miles a week due to the fact I have a family and I work 12.5 hr shifts as a nurse. I am only able to run 4 days a week.

whats the longest mileage (in daily training) you did in Rebels?

wow! for me anything more than 6km is a struggle (andd everything under 6 km is great). Maybe its a insole issue (its superthin and slippery and tends to roll under toes (in result u work with my toes to keep it on place, i press them and die them a little. I think ill try to put some glue under a insole (in the front) and try to run 10k+@@supwell

Justan honest question - How do you find time during the week to do 100 miles per week? As a non professional athlete

@supwell

4 ай бұрын

i don't have much of a life outside of running hahaha i work from home so i have no commute. every morning i run 10 to 14 miles before work, then i find time in the afternoon to do 4 to 8 on top of that. weekends i do an 18 to 22 miler on one of the mornings - if you have a family it helps to have a partner who is supportive and to alternate time on weekends watching the kids
