Welcome to Four Running Shoes, a running vlog where two Melbourne-based amateur runners, Scott and Tim, document their running progress.
On this running vlog we'll be sharing our fitness journey and our path to becoming better runners. Join us for weekly updates, sharing the knowledge we learn and tours of different places to run.

Doing great, Shelby! Woohoo!
Go Shelby!! 🤯
Fantastic to hear mate 👍
не понял, а что бегаешь то? куда спешишь?
Great running
Congratulations on a new pb man!🎉
Congrats on the PB! I'm curious why did you say the Ballarat Marathon is so much better than the Melbourne one?
I think it was mostly the mix of it still being super competitive without it being too overcrowded. The organisers were amazing and it was a really fast and enjoyable course despite the hill at the start and end 🙂
@@fourrunningshoes6770 Yeah Melbourne Marathon is crazy crowded.
Nooo that’s so tragic your laces got undone :((
Great stuff, hope to see more melb running content
NUMERO UNO 🎉
66 euros on sale noe
Quality run congrats. 🙌 🎉
Congratulations on the pb 💪🎉
I just ran my first sub 4 at London. Dial in the carb loading and mental side and you will smash it
Great run, Tim! Love the video, well done Shelby! Was great to see your cheering squad as well! 🎉
Top three cheers: 3:41: “RUN LIKE I’M CHASING YOU!” 3:10: “RUN LIKE THERE’S A SALE ON FLUORESCENT YELLOW SHOES!” 3:26: “RUN LIKE YOU HAD 10 COFFEES THIS MORNING!”
Great video Tim and the crew! Keep them coming. Sub 90mins is a cracking effort. Looking forward to seeing the sub 3 Mara next year mate, you'll smash it 💪 I'll have to give Ballarat a crack in '25!
Fantastic to be there ! An adventure to see it happen - well run Tim 👍🏻 Thanks a heap for the invite Tim & Shelby, was a really fun weekend 🎉
Wow Tim! Amazing effort. You've inspired me to run Ballarat one day
i think you can do easy sub 4hour dude, you got this, race day vibes
I appreciate the confidence! - Scott
Have you tried the Superblast? I have both Cumulus and Nimbus 26 and I prefer the Cumulus more. I'll be trying the Saucony Triumph 22 when it comes out May 1 👌
You're an inspiration mate
I like watching your vids. Im a runner of a long time lol. Im in NZ im 44. Getting better with age. But, my long runs are 15km :-)
That's great! I think you'll be surprised how easy it is to get from 15km to 21km. (Much easier than going from 0-5km!). All the best, I hope you're having fun with it :) - Scott
Happy birthday 👌
Hi. What's the total distance for the Garmin LTHR test?
It depends how fast you run at the different paces and how long you warm up/cooldown for. I think for me it was around 3.5km for the actual test and took 15mins to do. 4mins at zone 2, 4mins at zone 3, 4mins at zone 4 and 3 mins at zone 5. My starting pace was around 5mins/km and finishing pace was about 3:40/km. If you need to figure it out I’d probably take the average between your slow pace and 5k pace and then figure out how far you’ll go in 15mins at that pace 🙂
I did the test this morning. 156bpm, 5.43/km, 269w. Means that max pace is 5.43/km?
@@timothychai6070 That's your lactate threshold which is really helpful to know because that heart rate is what you want to train at in tempo runs in order to improve your speed endurance, ie. what you need to run better marathons and half marathons. 5:43 is the pace that will get your heartrate to this bpm and you should be able to sustain this pace for an all out hour of running. Over shorter distances you can run significantly faster. Theoretically with a lactate threshold of 5:43 you should be able to run somewhere between a 23min-26min 5k I'd guess. By spending time training at your Lactate Threshold, you will improve the speed of your lactate threshold which will help with your running immensely!
Ok. I understand now. Tqvm for the explanation!!
Did my first Garmin lactate threshold test yesterday, do you base your hr zones on %LTHR , %HRR, or %Max.HR in Garmin connect, which is best ,
I definitely prefer LTHR as zone 4 is where you need to run to improve your speed endurance for longer running, and zone 5 is what you want to hit in your intervals to increase your vo2 max speed 🙂
This would be useful if you would actual compare it to an actual Lactate Threshold test, in a controlled lab/test center...
Would love to do that. Sadly I can’t justify the cost of that yet 😔
I understand that, but this ways you can't justify your title of the video." Is Garmin accurate.." Against Garmin itself? Probably yes.. Against an actual medical test? Maybe/maybe not.. But you can't say or contradict that since you don't have the data. Hence I find the title quite misleading to be honest.
@@F16Jap Sorry that you felt misled mate! As I mentioned in the video I was comparing it to a 1hr hard effort which is what the medical lactate level test attempts to predict 🙂
great video and information Tim, can see all the hard work you are putting in is paying off.
Thanks Martin!
I need to do the dedicated test. My garmin has auto detect LT but the fastest it has suggested is 7:40min/mile, however my recent half marathon was sub 1:38 so doesn't make sense (~7:27min/mile pace). I am hoping the garmin test will be more helpful... Just not sure why the auto detect LT is so far off.
It’s hard work but I’d recommend it 🙂 I generally decline all the estimated ones. I had an estimated one a couple of days ago which said my LTHR was 188 which is nuts haha Congrats on the 1:38 mate! Give it a year or so and you’ll be running under 90mins for sure 💪
My LT2 heartrate is 181-182 with a 199 true max. Your true max might be 200bpm cheers 🎉. I guesstimed 4:05 before the 4:04 part of the video came up. Cheers.
80% max heartrate wont be anywhere near your 50-60min threshold. Thats even lower than marathon ability. Using 88-92% will get you very close cheers. Welldone on 16km @4:10/km solid run. 50-60min is an "all out" race fresh effort. If you can do 60min without maxing out pace your true lt2 will be slightly quicker...likely 4:05/km for 50min in a race etc. Cheers 😊.
Thanks for the help! I’m still getting my head around it all but it’s been nice incorporating this into my training 🙂 I’m only just starting to figure out how to use VO2 max to train with as well. Simplest explanation I’ve heard is that to increase LTHR and VO2 Max is to spend time training at those paces and heart rate zones with enough recoveries in between those workouts🙂
@@fourrunningshoes6770 the best way to improve Anaerobic threshold (lactate threshold lt2) is to actually run more overall volume predominantly in Zone2 @ less than 88% of your 183bpm. This improves your Mitochondrial density, & improves fatty acid utilisation in your type I fibres. The faster you can run at 150-160bpm over time you'll push your Garmin Threshold test "up from below". So you'll end up running 4:20/km @160bpm etc :) and youll break under 1:25 h.m also with that result with some hard sessions zone 4 and 5 in the last 6wks pre race. So focus on doing alot of comfortable paced running. You can get your threshold test down to more like 3:55/km over time by running more Zone2 (75-88% of your 183bpm) with a wkly Zone3 run (88-95% of your 183bpm). Cheers
is there a difference in model numbers like the 680 v7 vs the v8? will they fit any different?
I have 4 pair
60+km and still ramping up for a half marathon? 😱😱😱
Yeah, I’m going all out with this one! My peak weeks will be around 85km or so, all going well 🙂
@@fourrunningshoes6770 good luck!
So proud of you for sharing your faith. Keep up the good race and run towards Jesus!!! ✝️❤
Thanks for the encouragement! Bless you heaps 🙂
Have you tried the v8
Not yet - I bought another couple of v7s on clearance but then I’ll probably try the v8s out - Scott
What a beautiful area! Stunning!
Competition is always good. Happy running.
Best of 3? Bahhh, it was always a best of 5 😤
Nice ❤
Body bat tree 😁
Nice way to commemorate sub goals. I recently started training as well for 5k and 10k, hoping for a marathon next year. Will follow along your journey.
Well done Tim.
Great work Tim! That was my first marathon and I watched your video from last year the day before the race. I recognized your face at the train station, I am walking with the grey trackies and hoodie in your video 🤣 keep up the great work!
said hi at the parkrun today - great effort mate
Thanks mate! Was great to meet you this morning 🙂
sup bro! i commented on a vid a couple weeks back. great work with ur training and result man!
Hey, thanks legend! You smashed the sub 3:20, great running 🙂 sub 3 soon for both of us 💪
Great work Tim
Thanks Trent! Great to see you carving up the course 💪 you’re an inspiration!
Good job Tim!
Thanks mark!
🎉
Good Luck! You’ve got it!
