Really like these kinds of content and your race documentary Ben. This channel is more than shoe reviews

@BenIsRunning Год назад

Appreciate the feedback, thanks

@noel8552 Год назад

Early start from you Ben! Love to see it 👌

@BenIsRunning Год назад

Thanks bud! Saturday isn’t a great day to upload for engagement so figured I’d try something new 🙌🏻

@DevRunner Год назад

Love the talk about the different ways to taper. I've always reduced volume, but kept the intensity - now I'm considering the other options! Thanks Ben! Keep pushing!

@noebenitez3643 Год назад

Congratulations on your big run recently, we are all very proud!!!

Thanks bud

Great video. Just adding another consideration. Duration of taper. Again everyone is different. But generally, the longer the race, the longer the taper. Typically, a taper for a marathon could be 3 weeks. While a 5k could be a week.

@BenIsRunning Год назад

That’s a great point to add, thank you Brett!

@dorothygraham6183 Год назад

Thanks Ben we have started to taper here in Zimbabwe for the Comrade’s ultra 90k race on the 28th August. So will take all the tips I can get.

@BenIsRunning Год назад

Wow that sounds like an incredible challenge

@tworunningbrooms Год назад

Something odd happened to John in 2004. He was on a depletion diet prior London Marathon. He was meant to feel lousy with the lack of carbs but felt amazing by day 3. Coach worked out it was down to cutting out bread and identified gluten issues. So tapers sometimes throw up the unexpected we can learn from as runners.

@BenIsRunning Год назад

Very interesting! Thanks for that insight

@chris.schmied Год назад

Great video! Thanks for the tips…definitely hard to find out what works best for oneself. I really like reducing the mileage by a lot. But love doing strides and keeping the intensity :))

@BenIsRunning Год назад

You’re welcome Chris. Yes it’s all about trial and error :) I personally prefer to keep my milage high but reduce the intensity! :))

@paulcook7426 Год назад

Absolutely agree about the mental side. Something we could possibly all do more often. Another one you kind of touched on in terms of the contract, but getting enough sleep is another (fairly simple goal) I'd add in. It's not a sexy tip but often overlooked and extremely efficient.

@BenIsRunning Год назад

For sure Paul 💤

@DomH1992 Год назад

Love these tips videos - apologies if you’ve already done one but do you have any advice on the best strength exercises for runners? I’d love to see a video on this because Google is a bit of a minefield with various terrible articles that just list off a load of leg without explanation of what this is for!

@donovanmifsud8664 Год назад

Very helpful perspective ,🎯always train wisley consistency and discipline are key , yesterday PB D my 10km time from 46;23 to 43:51 , trusting the process ,also incorporated , some strength,swimming and cycling crosstraining this summer which help my all round fitness ,can't wait for more , the only thing bothering me is the blue toe nails hehh ,need to assess better, other than that great video and tips 😊🙏

@vincewarne228 Год назад

Taking it easy is hard! I’m only just getting my head around running easy days easy, next is doing taper properly.

@BenIsRunning Год назад

It’s the hardest part of a training block for me. Feels so alien 😂

@leviathanekg6118 Год назад

I'd also like to recommend not tapering for every race, especially if you race very frequently. Sometimes it's more worth it to continue with your maximum training and be faster in the long term, spending less time tapering. Personally I would only taper properly 2 - 3 times per year for a big race and then maybe with some mini tapers of about only 2 days for every other race I do. This is just advice I got from top level runners.

@BenIsRunning Год назад

Yes this is what I would advise also. If you spent all your time tapering your never going to see any serious improvements

@josiahmatson4457 Год назад

Hey Ben, my race is in exactly 2 weeks from now, it's half marathon. I wanna go for a sub 90, but i'm not feeling heaps confident right now. I'm thinking about going out on the place the race is gonna be at and try to do 15k at goal pace, do you think that's a smart idea or is it too close to race day? If not what do you think I should do?

@crayontom9687 Год назад

You probably don’t need to do a 15k straight out, but you could do a 3x workout at goal pace. For example 3 x 15 minutes at goal pace and then you could add on some strides or maybe 3 x 1 minute at 5k pace towards the end. Should be about right for 2 weeks out

@BenIsRunning Год назад

I’d suggest 15km is a little to far especially at goal race pace. Either do 15km at a slightly reduced intensity or possibly a final workout of say 2x 5km with 2mins jog just to get a feel for it so it’s not a shock come race day. Hope that helps and wish you all the best with the sub 90 🤙🏼

@lanbroghini Год назад

3x 5k at goal pace with 5 minute jog recoveries is a good indicator of race pace 👍

@echrbax Год назад

Try running the last 5k of your long run at goal pace. Simulates race pace on tired legs and I always find it a good indicator

@hawkseyy Год назад

Hey Ben! I’ve always wondered about you wearing your glasses while you run. I’m quite long sighted and need contact lenses or glasses to see properly. Recently I’ve felt my contact lenses just dry up so easily, but I feel like I’d have to cough up a lot of money to get glasses made just for running and protecting the wind. Your glasses are relatively similar to what I wear. Do you ever notice them when you’re running?

@hawkseyy Год назад

I’m studying in the optical industry as well and have experimented with different types of contact lenses. I’ve been dealing with runners knee lately and I’m hoping to get back into running properly soon, just wanted to know how it feels for you

@alancooper59 Год назад

I've worn various types of glasses over the years (because even the thought of ever putting contacts in sends shudder down my spine) and, for me, so long as they fit well enough to not move around while I run; I don't notice them.

@BenIsRunning Год назад

Something I’ve just got used to but have recently got contacts for racing. My glasses are just from specsavers own range. Nothing special :)

@hawkseyy Год назад

@@BenIsRunning Ah that’s good to know! I’ve worn contacts since I was about 10 so I’ve been using them for a long time now. I’ll probably look at running in my glasses more often on my easy runs first I think

@fastinradfordable Год назад

After discovering Wim Hof method taper is much less necessary.

@zachwalshe5223 Год назад

hey ben got any advice on how to push my parkrun time my pb is 19 38 and i ran 20 08 today.anything helps thanks

@BenIsRunning Год назад

Put in a good 3/4 weeks of consistent training and then try and beat it as opposed to trying to run faster each week :)

@robertthomassmith Год назад

Would you consider running the Jersey marathon, you know I think you could win it!

@BenIsRunning Год назад

It’s not one that’s on my radar to be honest

What is it 😂

@NewsYourViews Год назад

@@BenIsRunning it's for endurance athletes you rub it on on the legs and it helps buffer the lactic acid. It's sodium bicarbonate which is transported through the skin. It's not illegal or anything like that👍
