@@TheBrockKelly Looks like huckleberry yeah, great choice (if not what are you drinking?) Glad to hear you are coming back to boulder, try Verb if you haven't already they have some great stuff!
So here for it! Love the simple, strong, and balanced approach. Excited for awesome content all summer long, can’t wait to go on summer break myself and start building 😁🔥🤟
This video showed up in perfect timing because I start XC conditioning next month and I’m sooo excited but nervous bc this is my first time ever joining a sport and playing at a college level🎉 Thank you for this
I use products from Bare Performance Nutrition. They’ve got electrolytes and a drink mix called G1M sport that has both carbs and electrolytes in it. I’ve also got a discount code with them (“Brock”) that you can use at checkout to save 10% on your order and to support the channel.
growing is learning to strike a balance in life between work and play. doing less but doing it right. That is only possible by learning what matters most(high yield). as a long time sub i can see you growing for sure.
I got injured early in the summer, could you please make a video on how to fully utilize cross training during the summer to get better just as much as you would by running?
Thanks! That’ll be the goal as I start to move around a bit this summer. Gonna be out in Houston TX and then Austin TX later next week before heading up to Boulder. Definitely room to make longer videos 🤘🏽
Love your vibe and runs man. I’m going for my first run today! Should I just start with a jog for 15-20 mins and call it for today then increase time weekly ? I just don’t wanna get injured or get shin splints lol. Thank you
Yeah, just ease into it. Doesn’t have to be a lot of running. It’s recommended that you build about 10% each week and I think that’s a good rule of thumb. I’d recommend that you start by running 3-4 days per week and gradually increase that to 5-6 days per week, then start increasing the amount of time you run. Try to do at least a mile every day, but I wouldn’t do more than 3 miles in your first few weeks just so you can see how your body responds
That might be a good idea if the people really enjoy the first one. Or I might just tie it into a longer-length vlog as I get a little deeper into the summer!
hey brock, like you im mainly focusing on easy zone 2 runs this summer. for this to improve my performance in a fast race like the 5k should i be expecting my zone to pace to get faster? i love the videos and the whole meaning behind them
Depends on how much the temps are going to increase where you live. The paces might actually get slower for a little while. But if you do them consistently and slowly build up mileage, you’ll destroy the 5k distance in the fall. Keep some turnover on your legs by continuing to do some strides 2-3 times a week. I also like to push the pace a little bit on my long runs or midweek medium runs. I consider those my workouts each week, but I’m probably not going to be hitting any super fast midweek runs or long runs until I get to Boulder and hop in some group long runs
@@TheBrockKellyi live in the uk so you never really know what your going to get temp wise. thanks for the advice i’ll stay consistent with it and slowly build up the miles.
yeah, I go to school at Mississippi College in Clinton, but right now I'm back home in the Tupelo area before I head off to Texas and Colorado next week
I would say the biggest thing you should focus on is making sure that your max mileage doesn't exceed more than 10%-15% of what your previous best 3 weeks in a row of max mileage was. When in doubt, start with less and build slowly. 10% increase each week is good. I like to take down weeks every 4th week or so.
@@TheBrockKelly Thank you! Do you have any key indicators for needing to take time off of running before a build like you did? I've been dealing with a lot of micro-injuries, and currently left knee pain, which I also had a couple of weeks ago, would this be an indicator of needing a break, if so how do I determine how much time I need?
