THE CORNERSTONE OF DISTANCE RUNNING || THE LONG RUN

The long run is the most crucial component of any distance runner's training plan. Some people like running them fast, while others like running them slow. Regardless of your category, the long run plays a vital role in your training by improving your endurance, focus, and strength. In today's video, we hit a fast long run with some of the nation's best runners.

    I always prefer more uptempo long runs, just as you said it gets the body used to working harder over the long distances. For half and full marathon training this was a game changer for me. Great content, keep it up!

    Bro 100% agreed, you need to run hard to get your body used to it. Started implementing more speed/ tough sessions lately and benefited almost instantly (hit a totally unexpected 39:59 10k PB)… keep it up w the good quality content man🤙

    hey brock i totally get what your saying about how doing a faster long run is beneficial. as a general rule of thumb should theses runs feel hard but manageable at the same time?

  • @TheBrockKelly

    Yeah! The way I like to do it is by easing off into them. So if I’m going for 15 miles (like in this video) then I’ll do the first 3 miles at a comfortable pace before cutting down to a moderate pace. That moderate pace is kind of like a long tempo. It’s not an easy run pace, but it’s not a race. It’s a controlled, long, uptempo effort. You’ll know when you find the sweet spot. But for starters, just run them faster than you are now and see where it takes you. If your body doesn’t respond well after a few weeks, then pull off the gas and go back to how you were doing them before. Hope this helps!

    Hey man, I'm a high school kid who is pretty slow, one of those guys that has to walk up hills to stay in zone 2. Do you have any input as to whether I should have 2 hard days and a long run per week, or just 1 hard day and a long run to improve this summer. All the other days except Sunday are easy zone 2 runs BTW. Thanks

    What type of intra run fueling did you incorporate for this type of run (effort and duration)? Gels, electrolytes, etc. or did you prehydrate enough for it?

    Took some G1M sport from BPN before this run, then snagged some more at mile 10. G1M is a carbohydrate drink mix with electrolytes that’s perfect for those long efforts in the summer.

    @@user-oo1sc8ij9j thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. In my opinion, the summer should be fun and low stress. When I do the tempo or threshold work each week, it’s designed in a way where I’m building up my aerobic base and setting the stage for big and fast anaerobic and neuromuscular workouts later in the season. I try to expand the size of that base the best that I can in the summer with easy mileage, long runs, and tempos, but by the time late September and October roll around, we’re crushing workouts that are at race pace or faster which allows us to progress throughout the season. Just some of my thoughts on training that you definitely didn’t ask for hahaha. But figured I’d break it down
