@Superddrdan 3 года назад

I think these numbers are way off, but I think it's easy for Seth to get wrong because he's running at such a high level. 70mpw minimum to run a marathon is a barrier that would exclude some BQ runners. I think 90% of marathon entrants lining up would fall into "moving" or "beyond beginner" categories, sub 4hr marathon plans online seem to peak around 40mpw.

@donalddarko3676 2 года назад

Technically a beginner is someone just starting out. I could of been running for 20 years and be relatively slow and low in weekly mileage and I wouldnt be a beginner.

@ckhyker6259 3 года назад

I’m in my 50’s and I’m an ultra runner. I take 2-3 days a week to walk and/or hike. I need that extra time to heal. I rotate weeks continuously. Hard week (60 miles) Medium week (40-50 miles) Easy week (30-40 miles) At my age and what works for me, is getting enough recovery time. I’m not the fastest one out there overall, but I usually win the master division or at least my age group. It’s so important that new runners understand that everyone is different and their bodies are different. Take time to figure out how your body reacts. Patience is key! I should add: I’ve been a runner most of my life and my longest run has been 50 miles (so far!).

@ColoradoRunnerGuy 3 года назад

"Your body gets stronger as you get older." - Now THIS is what I love to hear. I am slower at short distances (like 5k) than I was in high school as a runner 20 years ago! But I can definitely go further than I could back then! Each time I approach the marathon distance in a training run, it becomes more manageable. Thanks Seth, happy trails!

@davidwhite6479 3 года назад

Same here. I hate running 5k/fast runs and feel much better at longer runs at a decent pace.

@donalddarko3676 2 года назад

This is inherently incorrect. Your body gets stronger to a point with training the longer youve been training to a point the stronger or fitter you would be except that isnt always the case because age restricts and then deteriorates. People confuse this when statistically the peak age for long distance running has been suggests as 38. The peak age for track athletes has been suggested as 28.This is simply because the rate the which you are losing fitness and strength and biological efficiency you can mitigate this with training until you reach the age of around 40 and then there is nothing you can do. Long distance is another 10 years because as you lose strength cardiovascular and aerobic fitness is last to deteriorate. Your strength is actually deteriorating from around 28. Plus a lot of track athletes spend their mid to late 20s pushing themselves and then when they notice they dont have it in them anymore they move to long distance, this rarely happens the other way around because your body doesnt get stronger with age and it takes more and more training to mitigate this as your body ages. Seth believes what he wants to feel better as this is paramount for motivation and his personal performance.

@ronhendricks4130 3 года назад

I love how you stress patience! More than anything it takes time to learn what works for you. The plans you laid out can work for many but there are also many other ways. I'm now 68 and since turning 50 have never run more than 3 days a week or over 35 miles. That does include 20 mile runs if training for a marathon (both road and trail) which breaks the rule of no more than 30% of milage on the long run. With this approach have stayed more or less injury free (with many aches and minor pains especially as i get older) but that is the priority, to keep going. With this I have run above average times: 3:09 for road marathon at altitude in my early 50's, 4:56 at PP Marathon at 55, top age group finishes in early 60's, 3:39 for road marathon at 65 on hilly course with cold and wind, ect. Didn't mean to go so long but just want to stress (as Seth always does) the importance of taking your time and especially getting to know your yourself and what works for you, both physically, but also mentally and emotionally. Always wished I could run higher milage but came to realize my body just couldn't handle it so have made the most of what I have been given. Will be cheering for you Seth in Florida!!

@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183 3 года назад

I could have written some of this comment myself. I started running about 11 yrs ago and I’m not 69 (female). I’ve had a coach since Mar.2019 and set most of my PR’s since then until Covid struck. Like you I only run 3-4x/wk (every other day), no huge volume, yet I BQ’d on my 1st marathon in Aug.’19. Due to getting a cold a month before my longest run was 19 mi. My coach feels high volume is overrated at least for some people, depending on not only age, but talent. I had a minor ITBS after that marathon but it resolved fairly quickly and I have otherwise been free of any major injury. I’ll probably reinforce your comment in the main column. Cheers, Martha

Been running around 16 months now. My first goal was completing the couch to 5k, goal achieved. Second goal was completing regular 5k runs, took a while and dealing with lots of minor injuries but achieved. Latest goal was 5k in under 30 minutes, completed a couple of weeks ago. I love you Seth but as a just turned 50 yo man who has avoided exercise his whole life I am super proud of my humble achievement. I seriously doubt I will ever be anything other than a new runner on your scale but I seriously do enjoy it and wish I had started years ago. Very much improved physical and mental health.

@DiscoDougify 3 года назад

There should be no pressure to get out and run. It depends what your goals are. If you are out there to chase medals, prize money and running status then you will tailor a comprehensive training, eating, exercise and rest plan. If you're just a recreational runner then you might only follow a basic training plan with much less weekly mileage. It's all relative. I'm part of a running club, enter competitions, but my mileage per week is low. I only enter competitions for fun because I love the buzz of it and enjoy the sport. I don't want to be an elite or have that pressure bestowed on me. Do your runs based on your personal goals.

When I was training for marathon, the mileage was of course higher 🤩. This year I'm focusing on half-marathon to improve my PR ☺️.

I’m a daily viewer of this channel, but this video just popped up and it is such a great resource. I have been running seriously for 2.5 years now and I’ve just been able to increase my weekly mileage to 40 miles a week without injury. Prior to last December, 40 miles a week was hard to do. I come from an athletic background, played college athletics and coached as well. It just goes to show, improvement really is a marathon, not a sprint. It takes patience and time to build the engine and foundation needed to keep increasing volume. Thanks Seth!!

@TheLongHaulCoach 3 года назад

Great video Seth! I’m 100% with you with 23 miles lol! I did a 24 and a 25 in my biggest block for long run and it was too much. One thing for folks watching this blog that might help is converting this information over to time on feet. This could help blanket the advice to various running paces. 100 miles could take someone 11 hours in a week to run or 13 hours. So 30min EZ, 60 min T, 120min Long Run, etc etc.

@kkouz45 3 года назад

At the end of October, I moved from a 7 day to 10 day cycle, meaning 1 long run every 10 days. Still found myself pushing too hard, so in December I changed to time totals instead of kms, nothing but easy every other day, and nasal breathing only/MAF heart rate. Currently in Cycle 8, with time goal of 6hrs and 2 hr long day. Now that I’ve recovered from early December exhaustion, I’m adding walk only days to schedule. My current mantra is “Don’t do anything today that’s gonna stop you from running tomorrow”.

@lisarunsfast7368 3 года назад

I’m generally running 35 miles a week on average. If I’m actively training for a race I’ve gone up to 45 miles at the most. I do need a day off or a very short easy run once a week. It’s hard to fit much more than that in around my job and family. Last summer I was working on a distance challenge over 4 months and I found that highly motivating to increase my mileage. It is definitely easier to run more mileage in the summer when daylight is longer. Living in the PNW, most of my runs are in the dark now!

@levandmarthapolyakin-aaron2183 3 года назад

Seth, this was beautifully and clearly organized, and I love how concisely you addressed runners of all levels of experience. I remember how hard it was to call myself a runner when I started about 11 years ago! New runners shouldn’t feel intimidated; we all started somewhere. I’d like to repeat something I’ve written in comments here before, and that is that very high volume is not for everyone. My coach feels it is overrated in many cases. Smart training with all the traditional elements is very important, which has been born out for me: since I got a coach in 2019 (age 68) I hit all my PR’s in the subsequent months, including a BQ on my 1st marathon. But even in training for that I didn’t exceed the 30-40 mpw range, and due to getting a cold a month before, my longest run was only 19 mi. (Not recommending that in normal situations; at that moment health & rest was prioritized). I generally run every other day and not counting the training for that marathon, my mpw average is in the low-mid-20’s, probably 80% easy/20% intense, with conscientious stretching and strengthening on off days. I am also generally physically active. There are many factors to weigh (as you point out) including goals, of course, but also natural ability, age, general lifestyle and injury-prevention. I have not experienced a major injury yet and I hope to keep it that way. Martha

@markfinnegan6038 3 года назад

After years of around 30 miles per week with way too much intensity, injuries and plateauing I have went back basics and bumped up my mileage to 60 miles per week for the past few months. I have always skipped a proper base build because frankly running faster is more fun. I am now laser focused on mileage and building some resilience and not worried at all about pace. Things are happening because I used to be really sore after a 8-10 mile run and now I am up to a 16 mile long run and can follow with a 10-12 easy day. I also recently did a 5K solo time trial and haven't lost any speed. I do strides 3x a week and will soon begin adding more structure (tempo's, fartleks and/or intervals) so I am excited to hopefully see some progress in my times across all distances. Great advice on the patience - it takes time for the body to adapt to the training load.

Cycling has been sooooo important to me building muscles to support my knees and prevent overuse injuries.

Thats what I thought too, its a lot...and I am not a begginer, just a person who runs for the pure enjoyment of it...and I also think that cross training is important, especially if you dont want to just do nothing, but also dont want to overuse the muscles

This is more of a video for a marathon runner. Most high school athletes who ran in middle school would be running for more than 5.years but never would run 100.miles. Qd.) I run 30miles in the begining and progress up to 65 during a training block. I run 6 days a week with 2-3 of them being doubles when I run over 45. I just don't need to run much when I concentrate on 1500-5000. As Emil Zatopek said: "I don't need to run slow, I allready can run slow, i need to learn how to run fast."

When I trained for my first 100 miles, 1. I ran outdoor less than 1 year; 2. I only finished one half marathon; 3. Began my trail running after I registered for the 100 miles. Eventually missed the cutoff of 68 miles mark out of 100, pretty fun experience.

I have not run in 8 years. I decided I wanted to run again 16 days ago. In that time, I have run approximately 73 miles(running every other day), done 750 flights of stairs at home(will be doing another 150 probably in a few minutes), 2 hours on the elliptical, 1.5 hours on the stepper at the gym, and half an hour on the bike, all in addition to my regular 1.25 hours of weights per day. I've had some aches in my calf muscles a few of those days but other than that I feel wonderful.

@kierenkd 3 года назад

Restarted as v40 cat. in Feb 2020 with 27 minute 5K. Slow, consistent build up to be durable. I prioritise recovery as it takes longer after 40. I also don't want to be on the injury bench on lockdown when everything is closed. Currently running about 80KM (50 miles) a week over 6 days. My view is to do the minimum effective dose to overload and progress. When the progress stops coming, add volume / quality. I do intervals / reps on Tuesday for quality and a Tempo on Thursday. The rest is easy running. Sunday long run alternates weekly between easy pace and marathon pace (between tempe-easy) I tend to add volume on the easy days. I don't want the long run to be too long to impact recovery or the quality sessions. Current 5K is 19:50. I hope to run a sub-90 Half-Marathon soon. If my 1/2 progress indicates I can do a sub-3 marathon, I'll train for that on a 26 week schedule - otherwise I wont bother with marathon

@tonybowen455 3 года назад

I've started reading Koop's Ultrarunning book that is amazing along with his podcast. I started jogging a year ago just doing easy runs all the time with a lot of miles trying to just build up a base. Kind of hitting a wall now so need to add in threshold runs next and cut down the mileage, but it's not as fun.

@MartinH_-_-_1 3 года назад

My last training block was 8 weeks of 5k training. Peaked at 45mpw for 3 weeks and felt good. Monday: Rest Tuesday: Easy Wednesday: Workouts (Started at 8*600 and worked up to 3*1600m at goal 5k race pace) Thurs/Fri/Sat: Easy days Sunday: Long run around 11-13 miles I have a history of shin splints so was taking things easy and limiting myself to one quality workout a week. I did some of the easy days(Friday/Saturday) at a steasy pace or faster if running with a mate and occasionally pacing them but usually v easy.

@duncanbailey1 3 года назад

Thanks Seth very interesting 🤔 I’m running around 40-50 miles pw at the moment and I’ve only been running consistently for 8 months. I’ve had no injuries and feeling strong and healthy. All runs are easy and steady as I don’t have a race until May which is a HM. This is my plan for this week: Mon - Rest Tue - 8 miles Tempo/Threshold Wed - 6 miles Easy Thur - 5 miles Steady Fri - 8 miles Easy Sat - 10 mile long run Steady Sun 5 miles Easy So I start the month at 40 and work my way to 50 by the end of the month then back down again. This seems to be working for me with lots of stretching and foam rolling of course.

@emmanueleng1160 3 года назад

65 miles per week at max volume. Ratio of each run type is pretty much the same as Seth. Although the faster stuff would only come in right before the taper. I find little gain in getting speed too early, it'll only tire the legs and it's painful leading to low motivation.

QD: When training for marathon I usually peak around 80 miles a week, probably average around 70 miles. I am a doctor and have an unpredictable schedule, but I have a general idea (plus or minus 2 hours) of when I'll get out of work. I run one 15+ miler and one 20+ miler a week (which always have some track/speed component, like 800m repeats or 5k repeats) on the days I get out of work early. All my other days are easy days, often doubles, when I run to work and back (4 miles each way). Weekends are for social runs with friends.

@tomdoyle310 2 года назад

I integregrate tempos (at goal marathon race pace) into my weekly long runs. In the beginning stages of training, the tempo might only consist of 20% of my total long run distance, but as I approach peak long run distance, my goal is to get the tempo close to 80% of the total milage. I'll also do some type of interval training on the track once every 2 weeks, and a 3 part workout consisting of a hard tempo (shorter than the long run tempos, but at lactate threshold), hill repeats, and farkleks almost every week. Consistent 5K/10K/15K time trials/hard efforts or road races are also good for speed workouts. And of couse plyos/weights every other week or so.

@curtdalgleish2903 3 года назад

M: rest // T: 14 km (8.7 miles) // W: 22 km (13.7 miles) // Th: 8 km recovery (5 miles) // Fr: 18 km (11 miles) // Sa: 8m recovery (5 miles) // Su: 30 km (18.6 miles). There is a bit of variation from week to week, but it stays similar. Recovery days I run at 5:30-5:45/km (8:52 - 9:17/mile). Most other days, I run at 4:50 - 5:10/km (7:47 - 8:19/mile). However, I have 1-2 days of speed work. I may do a big chunk (10-16 km) of a run at marathon tempo (4:30/km) or half marathon tempo (4:20/km) for a smaller chunk (6-10 km). Sometimes I do some intervals at 5K tempo or simply 10 strides. My goal is to get under 3:10 at the Hamburg Marathon.

QD: I based my weekly training roughly on the Hal Higdon Marathon Intermediate 1 plan. This is because I'm running a virtual full marathon next month so I can close out a training block, and reset before the 2021 race season occurs. I did the Hal Higdon Novice plan for my 1st marathon, and now that I'm adding days/volume, I thought the intermediate would be a good baseline to start with.

QD: I bike about 3 hours a week and then run 15 miles or so (about 2.5 hours), since currently I am recovering from plantar fasciitis. I am currently ramping up my bike mileage every week while ramping up my run volume very cautiously each month. The biking helps me maintain my aerobic fitness while also being much lower impact on my PF. Context: I have very very flat feet. Due to a solid amount of ego I decided to run without stability shoes last year, and I chose the Nike Pegasus as my daily trainer, which ended up shredding (okay that's hyperbole) my plantar fascia since the flat portion of my foot would sag down, as there is no foam under that portion of the foot on the Peg 36.

@George-nx4bp 3 года назад

:qod: I structure my mileage the way coach says basically. After a break there is a few weeks buildup into the 3 week build -> 1 week down -> repeat model. Do that till the season is over basically, might make the taper a little different for the most important race. I have hit 70 twice in the fall last year. Hoping to make 70 a little more common this year, maybe hit 80 in the summer once or twice

@wastelander1015 3 года назад

QD: slowly ramping up my volume after a knee injury last summer. Currently around 50k per week. Hopefully, in late march/april I'll be back to my usual 70k per week. Reason: the current races I'm doing range between 8 and 15k, and I feel comfortable yet still challenged to run a 70ish k week. I also have an injury history (insertional achilles tendonitis) with which I still have to be careful not to push high volume. In late 2021 hope I can ramp up to 80k a week and run a 21k again and in a couple of years finally a marathon. 😊

Maybe that's why we're not a great sports nation anymore :-D The average runner meat will maybe do 5-10k (3-6 miles) two or three times a week. (some of them do half marathons once a year!) For the last two month I've been doing 3-4 runs a week doing 40-50k on average (25-30 miles) because I do want to run this year's city marathon. My plan is to do 250k per month during the last three month before the race, but I won't be able to squeze that kind of milage in forever :(

Seth, this is the video I've been waiting for! Thank you! I will just say, though, I peaked at 45 miles for my first marathon last year (started the 16-week block at 30) and ran sub-3:40. So when you say that the minimum amount of miles/week people should be running is 70 before thinking about running a marathon, that seems kind of off--or could be discouraging for some runners who aren't there yet. Do you mean minimum for anyone wanting to run fast (i.e., break 3, qualify for Boston)?

@FURKING_AMAZING 3 года назад

Presuming this is just about the marathon I personally think his totals are too high for all but the elite group. I guess there are maybe 3 ways to tackle a marathon 1-to just complete it, 2-to aim for x time, and 3-to run it to the best you can/of your ability. No.1 doesn't take much mileage at all, No.2 depends on the individual so could be 15 miles a week, could be 100 etc. No.3 is what needs to be most miles you can muster, and obviously takes time to build up to - its that I think he is talking about. Most of us are in the 1&2 bracket, which I would think really shouldn't need the numbers he is talking about, certainly not 70 a week. With a family and job i only really allocate 30-40 miles a week, with that iv ran a 3.11 and 18 5k which I'm pleased with, no way I'm running 60 let alone 70 a week.

@TorreyBenware 3 года назад

@@FURKING_AMAZING Exactly. I feel like if I ever wanted to aim for sub-3 or something, I may need to work up to 70 miles a week, but I feel comfortable doing most of my training at the 30-40 level. I may go up to 50 or 60 this year (with slow build-ups) just to see what it does/for fun, though.

I have been running since 2007 with 2 marathons and 26 half marathons under the belt.

As I have gotten older in my late 50's, I struggle with arthritis in both knees and foot, but still able to maintain 4 days/week with 22-26 miles/week. Guess things also got to be challenging during 2020 with races getting cancelled due to the pandemic. I typically get in at least 2 races/year.
