Don't fear the distance! Can relate to that. I've ran 2 solo marathons in the last 8 weeks, 2:54 and 2:51, targeting a sub 2:50 in a couple of weeks! That was a seriously impressive run, especially on those hills in that wind. Looking forward to seeing what you can achieve this season.

Sam I know it varies, but what do your rest/easy days look like? Like after the 3 days you just discussed would you take a day completely off? Or do something super light? What are your thoughts on taking days completely off vs doing active recovery like an easy bike or swim?

@SamYoYoYoLong

3 жыл бұрын

Great question, I think it depends on the person, their overall training load and how much they have going on in life. The day after I did a 4k swim and a 2 hour ride. That's pretty standard for me. The other option on my rest day is a double swim with a short run. But I've worked up to this over years and don't have much else to do on my rest days. Maybe 1-2x a year I'll take a day totally off.

Do 400m sprints 400mX10 at least 3 times a week, develop your speed endurance, it’s tough finding your median but you wanna obviously be pushing yourself the whole way without burning out, that should get the body accustomed to the faster speeds you need to achieve a sub 9:00 mile

That's a great question. I used to have terrible form... a major heel striker and a big loper even 2.5 years ago. Every stride I stay focused and I've done lots of gym and flexibility work to develop the proper musculature. NM work has also been key. It takes time no matter what and subtle but steady change is the name of the game

So you're able to bike 180km within 4 hours ànd run a marathon, but you are nervous to "only" run a marathon?

And just like that... you ran a sub 3 hour marathon! Nowadays is better to support the local business anyway!

Can’t really compare Ironmen and marathoners, they require way more volume of training since they’re racing for 8hrs. Kipchoge has done plenty of 40km long runs at 2:10 or faster I believe. This isn’t close to his pb or max effort so I think he’s doing alright
