One year ago I started a couch to 5k program and the thought of running for 2 MINUTES straight seemed impossible! Lol A year later I can run for an hour straight! Massive improvement! But that 2 hour goal is not too far away! Thanks for the content!

There was a time in recent years where use of KZread to research things was a foreign concept. Now? Pretty normal!

2 hours and 19 minutes? You’re a Beast Man! Dang! Takes me 2 hours to run half marathon!

Hey SJD. I’m new to running and your channel is super helpful and positive. Love seeing all the incredible places you run at as well as the tips you’ve culminated over the years of running. Keep it up!

I first watched this video back in April. Now I'm watching it again as I start to incorporate these runs into my weekly training for my second FM. Great advice, Seth!

great video, i really like the idea of 2hour+ training runs. I feel as that is a great way for me to also condition and run that steady pace to help prep for marathon race day!

I’ve done my first two 2-hour runs during the past two Sundays. Will keep it up. Thanks for the knowledge, Seth.

Its good to see that you are preparing your meal and you still have your trainer on

Been watching the channel only fairly recently so had no idea about the dream for Olympic trials. Best of luck great content!

KZread mostly. I had my first summer season when i really got hooked on running, its a blessing, two weeks ago i did my first half marathon, solo in a snowstorm at night, it was a rite of passage, om gonna try to run all winter but i cant wait for next summer its gonna be such a blast. Thank you!

I did steady state run training during an Ironman training block a number of years back. I had my best stand alone marathon time as well as a 5k PR because of that. I unfortunately got away from that type of running and haven’t been able to have the same success. So looking forward to getting back to that. Thanks for the video Seth!

My resources mostly come from various youtube running channels. There is so much information to digest.

amazing video, love how you are so into peak performance and go into the physiology and anatomy to push yourself to new limits. Keep it up Seth!!! May God bless you and your family!

Learned everything on KZread with your channel and others as well as Runner's World for specific questions. Then learned by myself, how my body reacts to different approaches.

you are freakin awesome Seth.....keep up the great work, you inspire many people

Support from the Netherands here. I've ran the Amsterdam marathon twice. 4:30 is amazing! Go for it and you can do this!

My personal running diary I have kept last 5 years. I can look back and see what’s worked and not worked for me. I agree with your method of “listening to your body and running be feel”. 42 marathons including 50k to 100 milers in last 5 years has put me in touch with what my body requires for a decent effort during a race.

In both of my marathons I cramped up around mile 23, and now that I look back, I hardly ran over 2 hours. Only about 3 times when the weekend long run got long enough. I'm following a 50k training session (for a marathon) and i'm now running 2+ hours twice a week for 4 of the 12 weeks, and i can feel my legs getting stronger. Thanks for the confidence that I made a good choice, love your videos!

I love listening when you talk about run and how you understand every single things going on inside the body. Your knowledge it is priceless. Thanks.

Thank you for your insights and enthusiasm! This training period I have been using a combination of my Garmin HR training(full spectrum) and jack Daniels 2Q program. Averaging about 40+ miles a week. I also try to implement yours, Sage, and Strength running into my overall plan.

This is your best video! I watch this all the time.

QD: I like to use multiple sources, but youtube has been most helpful in making hard to understand training methods easier to comprehend.

I totally agree when I did 2 long runs a week I ran my best time and you can take so much from elite too very good club runners

Love your videos!

Awsome vid. My most helpful resource is probably just talking to people i know who are into running and then from there watching videos like this

I have the same life long goal too! Thanks for the advice and good luck!!

Seth, I like so much to find your videos they are very Much helpful, I’m 51 old men viejo and running about 70/w, appreciate your knowledge about it. I will prying for you to conquer your gol in Atlanta OPQ. keeping an eye in minerals, the nerves system is your energy generator All the best AD/ I follow the book train plans of the 2e of Advance Marathoning

Now that I’ve come across your channel I think I want to spread my wings a bit and learn about my own body’s running abilities. By the way I very much enjoyed your video so far I’m going to watch more of your channel.

Lot of good information. Thanks mate.

Great vlog. Thanks for sharing the topic on endurance. Keep your efforts up.

Q&A: mostly your tips and they’ve worked so awesome

I’ve been following the 80/20 running book training plans. Currently doing a 5K training block.

Im glad i found this video , very helpful. Thanks

QOD: Your channel and others helping a lot! (Sage, Ben Parkes, kofuzi) When I started I followed a 12 weeks 5K plan on my garmin app and gave me a good baseline what is easy run, steady state run, recovery run, intervals etc.

What a coincidence. I did the same Amsterdam marathon you did on October 20th 2019. It's the one and only official one I've done abroad

I get my training plans from a combination of past, paid coaching, and self coached races, along with current thoughts by you tubers, such as this channel, Sage Canedy, and a few others. I’m currently exploring this marathon block using the Hansen method. Running is definitely an artistic science.

QOD: i train by myself, for road runs i use the garmin connect plans, it really helps, for mountain runs i try to mimic the altimetry and to improve form, strengh and things like these i use youtube (yours, Sage.....)

What was the question?

Interesting SJD, I've never heard of this study from Köln (Cologne). Thanks for sharing, I'll dig deeper on the study. I also trust the science and always happy to learn. QD: like others Arthur Lydiard, Daniels Sage, you, The Running Otaku, and Garmin. Last but not least, my wife/coach

I use your channel amongst others (Ben Parkes, Sage, Kofuzi, FOD Runner & Running With Marc to name but a few) to give my insight at a level above my current working ability. For physical support on 1:1 I use professionals locally and I listen to my body and adapt plans to create a workable approach to making progress

I have done all the research, bottom line, Know yourself, listen to your body.! You can and should go forward and conquer!

I used various online sources early on in my running, but hit a breakthrough when I read and adopted the principles of Mike Gratton’s hard marathon plan & accompanying article & forums on the Runners World website. This led to a significant increase in my training volume. My approach has stayed broadly similar since then, although In recent years I haven’t been able to devote as much time to training. Hoping to be able to do more in 2020. The main addition for me in the last couple of years is much more of an interest in strength & mobility exercises.

Great advice and information 🏃‍♂️👍

Great Channel. Totally agree on your aerobic training philosophy for marathon - BUT - you are getting very close to your goal race. I find that endurance and aerobic capacity take a long time to build, but are not lost in a short space of time. Within 2.5 weeks of a race I would be sharpening speed and trying to avoid muscle damage associated with 2hr+ efforts. Re resources, previous training/racing is my primary guide together with any updated scientific studies (+ KZread of course). Good luck for the taper and have a great race!

I am a beginner runner. I watch a lot of youtube videos like yours. I'am 58, I actually started with research on intermittent fasting and healthy food. Then I started to run 6 months ago. You are so passionnate when you take about running program, you really inspire me. In the past I always believed that I can't run. Thanks to people like you for the sharing of information and experience, now my goal is next season half-marathon in Paris. 😉

Thank you Seth! Just love watching your VLOG everyday! It has been so helpful in my training, I also like Matt Fitzgerald 80/20 rule for training, also use some of Hal Higdon training. 2:19 in Amsterdam, go get it brother!!

Thanks for your insight Seth. I have been following your vlogs and I am able to pick up some points. "How to run faster?" is one of your vlog that I followed your program. Thank you once again. I will be running this coming October at Scotia Bank Marathon (42K). I know I have no more time to bring myself ready to get to the point I could run 26 miles without a problem. As my credentials could say, I have been on training since January 2019. I hope that I will be one of the "Finishers" this coming 20th of October. Cheers, Rizalde

I write my own training plans now after several years of leaning while training under various other programs- Tinman, Daniels, and Vance (power-based training).

QD: I've used a couple of Hal Higdon plans for half marathons with a few tweaks to have more of a taper. Going into my first Marathon next April I've chosen a Runners World plan as there were lots of detailed plans for different time goals. I think seeing the distance and time goals for each session will help me to keep my pace in check.

God damn dude. Great job.

I am a big Hal Higdon fan and have some training plan apps for the phone. I used to follow them pretty religiously, but now that I've done enough races, I map out my own plan.

Here in Mexico, if you want to go to Tokyo 2020. The time they are asking for competitors is 2:11.00. Hope that you not only make the time, but have a better one so you can qualify directly to Tokyo. Keep working for that dream Seth.

qd: personal experience I guess. Build up weekly miles with a couple of 15 mile runs, then incorporate vert and hills until legs feel strong, then speedwork (intervals for 5K/10K, temporuns for half marathon). Running is too much fun for me to put it in a too strict plan.

this guy explains most for what's out there.

First QD: for training I threw a dart 🎯 at the internet and it landed on cool running. There are beginners to advanced training plans for the 5k-marathon distances... I’ve had pretty good luck working through the half plans... I have had a 2:06 half... down from a 2:45. Right now time in the day is the biggest hurdle... during the school year I am very busy as a stay at home dad that my allotted time takes a big hit... constantly getting creative to get any miles I can... just gotta keep chugging....

QD: 80/20 Running by Matt Fitzgerald, and picking up additional tips and tricks from KZreadrs like yourself and Sage (currently on his base building plan)

QD : i am just an average ultra runner. I started to follow a fixed schedule training plan since beginning of 2019. I believe in schedule training plans rather than training blocks. My weekly schedule involves 2 days of rest. The rest of the days are dedicated to 1 day - tempo run , 2 days - Lsd (15km to 20km), 1 day hill repeat and 1 day 10km run. I will incorporate 2 days of gym training focussing on core and ankle strengthening exercises.

We have a coach that train us but now he is in bad condition because his peacemaker almost shot down sad😢 . I watched your blog in order to learn some resourceful techniques to add on my knowledge for free injuries every time I race whether trail or marathon.

This is very motivating! I started doing 1.5 hours minimum everyday with my Sunday runs being longer and longer. I started doing this on January 2nd and I am committed to doing it all year long. I’m about 265 and I really want to get down to a healthy weight. A healthy weight for me would be 180.

Hope you doing well in your journey🏃‍♂️

I'm kind of on the later end of this idea. Was a competitive road cyclist for close to 30 years, made it to 2 Olympic Trials. Rode 300+ miles a week for many of those years. Quit in 2014 at age 46. Now I am 51, running only for aerobic workouts and racing. Yesterday I hit my fastest 5k since high school, even though I never run over 8 miles. I think all those years of long rides gave me a strong aerobic base.

The 2hr run is an awesome training tool. Great opportunity to experiment and try out new forms and techniques. It was on my first 2hr run that I perfected my foot strike and on another that I fine tuned my arm swing.

Science of ultra podcast is amazing to learn about this kind of stuff. For any runner not just ultra running

Kurt's QOD - can you post some additional information around this study in Cologne? I would like to read it. Seth's QOD - My research is based on a lot of things - books for the most part although I do pull online things and discussions with other coaches - Books - Running to the Top (Arthur Lydiard), Daniels Running Formula (Jack Daniels) , More Fire (Toby Tanser) , among others including a lot of Biography type things. Video work from KZread - You, Jay Johnson, Sage, Sandi, Kofuzi, Spencer Brown, Ben Barrows, Workouts on FloTrack and MileSplit and others as well. And lastly my own experience as a runner for close on 40 years at this point and as a coach on and off for 20 + years

This is a great and informative video! Can you please provide the sources you got your information from? I’m having difficulty finding it as I’m attempting to review the 2+ hour time under tension adaptation papers. This makes so much sense, but I want to investigate it further. Thanks!

I see this video, as many I have viewed, was made some time ago but certainly this one is timeless. I certainly would like to work up to two 2 hour plus training session a week. For one thing, I stand 6ft. and weight 180lbs. I'm sure it would be much better for my 1st marathon to weigh 165! These longer training sessions could help me lose the weight.

i wonder if do cross training after the runs to simulate a long run on other systems of the body but don't over ur ligaments that get stressed in running. i'm very suprised there aren't more cardio machines with heart rate alarms where u zone out watching tv and if heart rate gets out of a preset zone then an alarm goes off. how did you go with ur marathon? i remeber i went from 84 to 76kg just by cutting snacks and doing lots of exercises and felt like less than 2 months the weight dropped off. lucky me...that was 6 years ago so should be able to do it again if develop some basic habits....didn't require much effort last time. PS theres 5 different cardio machines at them gym, no reason cant rotate from one to the next every 20 minutes for 2 plus hours to mimic the workload of a marathon, list to a podcast or audio book, bring 2 sets of head phones fully charged. i did zero running in teens which is a shame otherwise would have built up key ligaments and small muscles. just excuses.

I was waiting for you to talk about the Hoka Carbon Xs like you said you would in the beginning...

QD: The running club I belong to (Dashing Whippets) has a marathon training plan with several coaches. The first time I followed their plan -for my first marathon in 2016- I BQ'd . It's tough - yesterday was 12 Canova K's. Tomorrow is 22 mile (3:00+) long run. Because it's in NYC, I get to do most of the workouts with many others at similar pace, so it's a great social as well as training experience. FYI, I'm training for the Dublin marathon on Oct 27.

QOD: Mostly youtube (you, Sage), and watching old videos by Arthur Lydiard and Jack Daniels, as well as my own experiences. Im new to running so I'm yet to figure it out, but I'm going to be coached soon so I'm sure that will help stop me from going overboard with the mileage.

I read: Pfitzinger, Daniels, Magness, Hudson, Noakes, adapt training plans and ideas from those books. Also a lot of internet research, for instance on Canova or Tinman. And then I try and experimentl, trying new things,etc...

I was actually a sports physiology, biomechanics and psychology major, which i did not complete becasue I was offered a scholarship at a business school my senior year of college. But I get ideas from everywhere. I have Jack Daniels book and delve into Bill Bowerman and older coaches to Alberto Salazar training startegies. I also have gone through athletes training blocks to find i deas. At the end of the day, I am unique as a runner, I find what works best for me and apply it into my training.

Hi there, I would like to thank you for your videos and I love the way you explain what you do and why you do it. I am personally an OCR fan but I do races for 25k +. I would like to train 2 hours + but at times my knees give. I have learned that there are different types of running with your foot and I have recently changed my running style to land on the ball of my feet. I see the way you run you lean slightly forward, has that got something to do in protecting your knees or is there any other reasons for it. Any help would be much appreciated.

Love from Mysore Karnataka India 👌.

This is awesome. Thank you. I will add two 2-hour runs to my weekly schedule. Does this include the weekly long run? You mentioned Sun and Thu. My Sunday is currently LSD. Secondly, I'm not clear on the pace for this steady state run. How does it compare to marathon pace? E.g. I'm just ran 4:08 in Philadelphia and hoping for a 4:00 marathon in May, or about 5:40/km pace.

i did my first 90min run w/o stopping about 4 weeks ago and made it my goal to do 2hrs. Slowly increasing volume to get to multiple 90-120min runs a week. Im testing out low HR training so i am taking the time to learn about my body and what is an easy run.

Seth James, thanks for all the content you share. I think this the 3rd time that I am visiting this video and topic. With the 2 hour plus window, do you think that it would be beneficial for someone that can only run that many miles and time in sections? For example, run the first 1 hour straight, take a 5-10 minute break then run again for however long, take another 5-10 minute break...until you total 2 hours or run time? Do you think that would also just as much help?

im a newbie runner, i started run/walk this august, following a hernia operation, first weeks only walking then slowly adding walk/jog then walk/run then run/run :p I followed the Phil Maffetone method religiously, never going above 135 bpm. when i started to run my pulse IMMEDIATELY went towards 150s.This dec 31 i ran a full half marathon in 2h50mins, ran the whole damn thing aerobically at 135 bpm but MAN the last 5 km hurt !!! And the speed, man oh man, i could have propably walked it faster :D I need to UP my endurance drastically while starting to add speed and higher intensity, now i am looking for ressources to get me close to 2 hour half marathon - mostly youtube ! generally ppl recommend 3- 4 workouts pr week : a long run, a tempo run, then a short easy recovery, then a hillsprint/strength training workout. then repeat. So, short answer : Phil Maffetone introduced me to low HR training. Then sage canaday, the ever entertaing Seth James and actually a professor from america, very famous for running barefoot uhmmmm Daniel Lieberman !!! i run in Altra Paradigm 5.0 MAN i love them, happy feet with room to party, you reviewed some Altra shoes and found the extra space weird, i find it awesome !!!
