I had a good WALK today instead after getting up wrong side of the bed! Thank you!

I always run in the morning and I’m usually tired. Yet, once I get in the motion of running I just keep at it. Being tired is just an obstacle that I’m able to overcome. The mind can overcome obstacles that the body throws at it.

I love pushing mileage in the morning then going for an enjoyable easy run at sunset 😂

I worked nights which was a disaster for attending races. Well I did one anyway and finished. That's the goal to finish and not quit.

Good question and content! From personal experience, the answer is often no to this question. However, great that you used a very important keyword here which is: depends!

🤣 Wow, I forget how bizarre my life is. As a life long insomniac, 3-6 hours sleep is my EVERY night, with an average of 5 hours. I'm also an ultra runner. If I don't run tired, I don't run.

I got two little kids and I am shift working. My rule is: always do something instead of nothing. Start the workout you planed and if you dont perform well adapt. Lower the duration, volume or intensity and just get some work in. Oftentimes you will surprise yourself after getting started.

Always curious about this before, thanks coach for the great tips 👍🏻👍🏻

this is one of the best videos regarding running, the lack of sleep and poor food choice is very informative.

In 2019 I ran my frist marathon, i used to sleep well than the pandemic hits Brazil at the same time I become dad of my first daugether. I never have a good sleep nigth since that day, I can tell you: lack of sleep destroys you! Theres no determination that can survive to it!

I am a father of two and at some point I just decided to train anyways, because if I wait until I feel fit and recovered I will not train for years to come. My keyrules are: if you feel smashed lower the volume/duration and/or intensity. I became a fan of quick and intense 10-30 min workouts.

At almost 62, I haven’t slept through the night in several years. Usual pattern is waking up 3-5 times/night. Has absolutely drained me from running daily !!!! No more halves or full marathons :-(

Thanks, lots of great advice there 🙏

Super helpful and relevant information as useful!

One thing about getting older is sleep is elusive. I know why "we are scared to close our eyes". On serious note, I think it is blind determination that keeps me on the road. I run to clear my mind and for fitness. I do stay away from heavy workout when sleep is lacking.

Thank you for the great video! Your video was very helpful! Take care and God bless you!

My PR in the Half Marathon was after a night of zero sleep and horrible stomach issues. I showed up for the race that morning only expecting to just run and finish. I started to run and felt awesome and that led to a 20 min plus PR.

It’s the sleep quality & consistency leading up to a race that counts more than the night before. Sometimes having a poor sleep the night before a race takes the pressure off as you lower expectations. My PR in a half was after a terrible nights sleep as well. Thanks for commenting

These are great tips! I have an idea for a video! A compilation of your best bloopers. I just saw the one where a lady and her dog walked in front of Nate while he was filming. Hilarious!

JUST DO IT! BTW ultra marathons, no (or hardly any) sleep.

Poor sleep can be a symptom of overtraining in which case you definitely should take a break.

I make a point to always go for my scheduled run if I have a bad nights sleep. I call it race day practice since I always have trouble sleeping the night before a race. It’s a good way to get used to that for me so it’s nothing new on race day.

Same, I always sleep like crap before a race. Doesn’t mean you should get injured by doing too much off not enough recovery. Be careful!

Make sure you don't take that nap after 5 pm. That can make it hard for you to go to bed early. Or don't take any at all. That can make it easier for you to get to bed on time. And try to keep that slep routine even on the weekends.

I’m not disagreeing with the advice here but will play devils advocate. (As an ultra runner) How do you keep going when you’re tired? Well, it’s pretty simple, train when you’re tired. How do you keep going throughout the night? Train at night. How do you adapt to sleep deprivation during a race? Train for it! Exposure breeds experience! Obviously listen to your body but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with pushing the envelope in training! The key is understanding the difference between pain and actual injury. By the way I’m a rotating shift worker, constantly switching days and nights 12-15 hour shifts. I have to train often when tired. That said of course listen to your body. I find recovery, rest and refueling to be paramount due to my work/training regimen…

As with anything if you can get into a pattern then you can adapt to nearly anything. I think what was said in the video was basically listen to your body and accept that you might have to adapt the workout to what is possible and not worry about not being able to complete what you really wanted to. From your experience it sounds to me as though you've adapted to your rotating shift patterns and know your body will enough to know what it can and can't do under certain circumstances. We all have good days and had days, and that's even after a good night's sleep so I think his first comment said it all, it depends, it varies from person to person, and also what is an adequate night's sleep, or even a good one, to one person is not so good to another. I know a lot of running, especially longer distances is mental as well as physical and you have to train your mind as well as your body, but I just think it's a judgement call. I had a terrible night's sleep last night, feel a bit dizzy and disorientated so I won't run today, I'll change it to tomorrow, no problem. Sure if you are following a plan for a race that's not ideal but in the end o itf is what it is, it's not the end of the world. In my experience the training for longer distances, I've only done marathons so I can't speak for ultras, not yet anyway, is that the mental training needed to achieve your goals is more when you are 20km into a run and your brain is telling you you need to stop to keep going, not when you're not feeling great and you need to get out of the door, but if that happens a lot then there's a problem that needs looking into.

@@mattpotter8725 Very well said! I truly understand running advice is definitely difficult due to the fact we’re all different and at uniquely different fitness levels. I can honestly say without reservation that if I only trained when feeling optimal and well rested my training would be dismal at best. I often force myself to run and after 3-5 miles of slogging suddenly feel great and start to perform well due to muscle memory and fitness base taking over…

@@chadadams1127 I'm the same. I'm not saying only run when you feel great, you seem to suggest I'm saying only run when you feel that everything is great and you have no doubts. It's a personal decision when to run and when to postpone running and if you have anything serious wrong with you, especially if it's stomach related, extreme tiredness, or anything that could cause injury or impair your running (like today I feel dizzy and balance is needed to run) I wouldn't go and do it. These are rare occurrences, to me anyway. You may have a lower threshold, and that's your decision, you know your body, and have experience of what works for you, but that can't apply to everyone, as you say everyone is different.
