I'd say it's sufficiently large, it displays most data clearly. I've used a smaller and larger display (Amazfit Bip and Huawei Watch GT Runner) and found both to be sufficient though, so maybe I'm flexible or both watches I used were good quality.
love the spike content, would like to hear your opinions on the on 10,000, and out of all the spikes which would be the widest toe box(i got wide feet)
Thought about buying a pair but never have. My friend bought a pair and they did not last long for him. He said they were great at first but didn’t get the same feeling as time went on. I would say the widest are probably the dragonflys but I find spikes will never be that comfortable. You could look into super shoes, I find they have more room in them than spikes and can work just as well.
Nah like all OAC guys even have 130 bpm up to 25km runs I ran faster easy runs for 150-160 but that is bs Ofc it is easy feeling but u get slower in competition due to always running too quick in easy runs (it doesn’t have to hurt to be too quick) 160-170 bpm is already threshold, meaning that you get a worse anerobic threshold = less training benefit resulting in you getting rolled Why would you compare yourself to salazars athletes who where doped to the gills What even is your PB’s
Stop acting like everyone's HR is the same. I'm 16 and almost no one my age can run at 130. I'm at 130 when stretching. My max is high even for my age (like 215-220), so my threshold is at 200 and 170 is easy.
I was a football player and we did hill sprints often. Except it was more anerobic based with maximum intensity. Definitely felt the legs and glutes from that.
I think Adidas nailed it with how comfortable the upper is, imo. The firm midsole gave me good walking sensation the first time I broke them in. First time I’ve felt that level of comfort in a shoe.
A single word as to why you should do recovery runs and take days off. LONGEVITY. Ghraham Blanks doesn’t do recovery runs because he just simply takes a day off of running and just runs 6 days a week. Nick symmons took days off and had an extremely long career. Hobbs Kessler and Mike Smith are also advocates for taking planned days off. Days off and recovery runs will give your body the rest it needs so you can continue training for weeks and years on end. As for the zone 3 runs (*160-180 bpm aka ‘the orange’ hence the name of orange theory gym) I’m not entirely sure how beneficial it is. Arthur Lydiard basically revolutionized doing zone 2 and easy runs as he found it stimulates lung growth better than anything else. And a polarized training approach has proven to have great success. Also, 10 miles at 6 flat pace will last 60 minutes and at 7 flat pace will last 70 and give you 10 more minutes of aerobic exercise. I’m not here to degrade your training or anything as I’m sure you will see success training so hard, I just wanted to add my two cents.
You’re running way too much for the time you get. You can break 16 minutes with 35miles or less of training a week. Do more 400m repeats. Speed is key aim for 60-67 sec 400m times.
Better to stick at your steady pace on your pure endurance building days( Z2/Z3) for a better aerobic stimulus and Easy pace ( Z1/Z2) on your easy days. No need for a shakeout run. Go use the stationary bike or the pool.
I like any video where you are trying to help other athletes and you are. I was a very competitive distance guy myself in HS and college, and I figured out by accident (literally and figuratively, ha) that I was running way too much! Often 100 days in a row. I finally realized that I wasn't giving my body time to recover. I changed to the Parker Valby approach (who I greatly admire) and only ran four, maybe five days a week. I did weight training on my days off. My runs were rarely more than 5 miles but at sub 5 pace. All my intervals were sub 60 sec quarter pace.
aerobic threshold is not easy, doing your 'easy' runs at that effort is going to burn you out quickly. It's always the best to run your easy runs in z1/2 (zone 1 is pure recovery and no aerobic benefits, best when you are very tired, zone 2 is light aerobic stimulus but way below aerobic threshold pace. ) I know that this works because 90% of professional runners do this and i also do, and it has helped me get down to 4:25 mile and 9:26 2 mile at 15 ( i started running track at 13)
"The main way that we judge the success of our lives is by how well we measure up to our goals and ideals. We push off into the unknown to conquer what we might, knowing that the road along the way will hold more for our lives than the routine and predictable ever could. We understand that in daring greatly enough to push down that unknown road, we will be transformed by the process of a worthy endeavour. Our job, then, is to create an aim that will transform us into more of who we are here to be without losing ourselves completely in the process. Our character and the quality of our lives are forged on the mountain's side, not its summit" (Rick Alexander, Ambitious Heroes and Heartache). Overall all bro, just enjoy the ride! Glory days exist, but you should not fail to realize that they are happening right now! This is all part of the heroes journey. You can't be your best self if you keep beating yourself down for being your best self. It's difficult to appriciate what you have when you've convinced yourself that the answer lies in the destination for more. It's only when you don't need something in your life that the thing is free to improve, or rather you are free to let it. "As a student of human potential, I found I was focused heavily on the physiology of high achievment, specifically associated with endurance sports. For me, every finish line became the start of the search for the next. While there is something to be said for this mentality and the results it can breed, contentment woun't be one of those results. Every accomplishment brought me a little more emptiness as I put my hope for a better life into the next achievement. Trust me when I say that if you find yourself along and frustrated for answers, it won't matter what you accomplish along the way." (Rick Alexander, Ambitious Heroes and Heartache). "The greatest day of my life was when I realized I didn't need the belt to be happy" (Dominick Cruz on reclaiming the UFC Bantam Weight Championship) "I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer." (Jim Carrey)
