Excellent advice! I would just add that as you age (in my 50s) it takes much longer to reach fitness levels you think you might be able to achieve. Be patient is all I have to say for older runners.

That's fantastic advice.

This is the video And information, I’ve been searching for on RU-vid! Thank you! It was so helpful and so encouraging. I’m doing my first marathon in June and have been “pre-prepping” 😊 since July. I’m now up to 25-30 miles and I’ve managed to be injured free because of the gradual increase in mileage and my stretching/foam rolling routine.

Thanks again coach. First marathon here in December (virtual... because 2020) but I am starting to get over 40 miles a week with 8 weeks to go!

@williamnel7448 4 года назад

Very very cool.. Doing my first marathon in January 2020 and hopefully comrades marathon 2020. I need to start with my strength training. Currently running between 40-50 km a week.

@SamWynne 3 года назад

How did it go William?

@zechariahsmith1764 Год назад

I currently run roughly 50 miles a week, and my weekly long run ranges from 13.1 to 15 miles. Also, once a month, I push my long run further (my last long long run was 18.66) once a week I do speed work, once a week I do a tempo run, and twice a week I do state 2 runs. The tempo and state 2 runs are currently 7.5 miles. I also do a torso limb weight lifting split, which trains the full body twice weekly. Where do you think I should go from here.

@hugowarrenton3207 3 года назад

Do you have a specific strength routine you do consistently after a run? Or do you mix things up a lot?

@kcbnccarter1 4 года назад

Good stuff coach. Thanks for the info!

@gavinmaboeta6401 4 года назад

I’m 30 years old. I mostly did weight training until five months ago when I incorporated regular running into my routine. I think I have good strength base. I am running my first half marathon in four weeks. Lately, I’ve been running around 25 miles per week, running 3-4 times a week, with one long run during the weekend that span around 13 miles. Some people have said that to reach this stage in mere 5 months sounds risky and injury-prone but I’ve always listened to my body and went along with it. I’m wondering whether I am ready to train for a full marathon. My half marathon timing is currently 2 hours 20 minutes, give/take 5-10 minutes. Should I be working on my pace before I start training for a full marathon?

I am 74 yrs daily runner morning hrs. From india 15 to 18 km each day. No medical issues I have 25 km longest logged. 150 hm includes practice runs. I would love to do fuĺ marathon 42 km in my life am i ready for my maiden FULL MATATHON?I AM FROM INDIA

@19Kamau79 3 года назад

Should anyone do long runs longer than 150minutes? or should anyone attempt marathon if goal time is over four hours? Personally Oct 2019 I went for my first marathon with sub4.13 time goal and nearly dying to clock 4.12:34 I still feel I should wait for better times, thought I'm okay now as my previous marathon wasn't anything less than pleasant.

@xaosflux 3 года назад

Sure, but not at race pace! A 3 hour long slow run that only covers 15-18 miles has its own type of benefits.

My full marathon is in 7 weeks time and I have been running casually since May but more seriously since August after I registered for marathon at a steep discount...

@brandonhall594 2 года назад

I'm doing a half marathon in 2.5 weeks and expect to run it close to or better then 2 hours thanks to my 17 week training program. there is a full marathon in 18 weeks from now so I'm thinking of carrying on with training and running the full then. I would assume this would work pretty good?

@NeillyVille 4 года назад

My first Half Marathon is in 2 weeks! So excited and nervous! I recently did my first 10k in 48 minutes! I normally do 8-10k 4 days a week. Too much or just enough?

@StrengthRunning 4 года назад

Nice, congratulations! I recommend some runs be longer than others so you have a dedicated "long run" that's about 20-25% longer than any other run. If you'd like some help, we have a lot of options at strengthrunning.com/coaching/

@MrDoctorMD 2 года назад

I dont get it. Except USA and GB the WHOLE WORLD uses km but still a lot of these training videos use miles. Why limiting your audience to these 2 areas?

@dtrjones 3 года назад

Yes I have a question, can you convice Americans to use the term 'PB' instead of 'PR', I think Personal Best sounds more light weight and fun instead of Personal Record which makes me think of going back to the classroom! 😉

@TheGinge147 4 года назад

How many weeks should I be running at my peak mileage? So I’m wanting to hit 35-40 miles per week before the race. Don’t want to over do it.

@xavierlasee9269 4 года назад

Atleast 100 miles/week

@joeljenkins5873 4 года назад

What weekly mileage is needed for a sub 4 effort?

@JasonFitzgerald 4 года назад

Nobody can really answer that question! You train for a marathon based on your ability, not based on your goal time... Some runners could run a sub-4 off 20 miles per week. Others need 50+.

@joeljenkins5873 4 года назад

@@JasonFitzgerald thanks for the reply.That is a great reminder!
