Watching your videos has given me motivation to get back into running. I stopped a year and a half ago because of school and issues with my health, but I’m excited to run again! Thanks for reminding me of the joy of running!
Also understand how much time running takes up if you're a busy bee. I ended up trying to condese high weekly mileage too close together in weekends and suffered over use injuries. Running also takes time in your schedule.
ye just steadily increase your long run, mines was over a 3 month period where i hit 40 miles each week ended up running a 1:37:20 which isn’t bad in my eyes
My trainers are: Pegasus 39’s and Hoka Moch 5. Would highly suggest any of these if you’re looking to train high mileages and want a comfortable, long lasting shoe.
I always see people mentioning those, why nobody talks about the Nimbus? 😅 Also can't stand the ultra boosts at all, they feel "flat" like they have no cushion at all to me
I would argue it's better to consider how long you run vs how much mileage you run per week as a beginner. Because your pace might be inconsistent when starting. But this can make it a little hard when planning at first, as you don't know how that matches a mileage-based plan. If we assume 13 or 15min/mile for a beginner, then you can calculate it out pretty easily. There are also a lot of time-based plans targeted at beginners out there. Lastly, walking and/or run-walk are 100% fine, don't beat yourself up about that. Run-walk is actually great when starting out. Run 10min walk 1min and repeat for the entire run that day. Can adjust the time of course.
I just ran a half marathon, and I loved it, but I was wondering how you don't get tired. I hit a wall at 12 miles even though I had been training for months. Thanks 😊
@footballandsoccerhq I took one bathroom break at the halfway point. The race was in Florida, and I live in New York, so maybe the heat was part of the problem ?
Currently starting from zero. I’m hating the shoe thing because I have SUPER WIDE FEET and all that I have found to work for me are Barefoot shoes (wearing them and strengthening my feet took away my plantar fasciitis 💪). But I’m struggling to consistently run on roads in those things. It’s hard to find anything that works for me, but I’ll get there eventually 🤷🏼♀️
Im somewhere around 13 and just ran a 10k today for a fundraiser. I still managed to do sub 55 minutes even if i dont run at all. I might start running 10ks and go for sub 50 and run a semi marathon next year
I've said it before but screw it I'm training to run 24 miles in August time I run quite alot of times I'm now away with the army in Germany but I've got a good plan on how to keep up consistency wish me luck tho.😊
Definitely do not wear a new pair of shoes on race day. I’m not sure if that’s what you suggested here? It’s always advised to NOT change anything on your race day! That’s what all those practices runs are for… experiment during your training runs, not on race day!!!
I’m not even gon cap my first marathon was easy except for my knee injury I had to run through but guarantee if I didn’t have that I would have gotten a much better time
You do not simulate race day on your long run. You long run is meant to be an easy pace long run. All the speed work is done on your interval and tempo days.
Uhhh… im gonna need a lot longer than 4-6months🥹 But fr I’ve been training for a few months now amd ive made so much progress but rn my fastest ever mile is still over 8 minutes and my longest ever run is 4 miles… (love ur tips tho)
