Why Eliud Kipchoge Prioritizes Running Slow to Run Faster 

I ran a

Eluid Kipchoge has been an incredible ambassador for running. Kelvin Kiptum follows suit.

Eluid Kipchoge zone 1 speed is like my zone 10.. wtf men..

thank you for the great content. These videos assist me in my journey in running and are greatly appreciated.

In my personal experience, I’ve had success using both the a “pro” training split, as well as heart rate progression phases. I’m currently in a heart rate progression phase and have increased my zone 2 pace down to a (roughly) 8min/mi pace over an hour (that’s about a minute down from my previous pace at the same heart rate.) While I was in my 80/20 “pro” split, I was definitely in long-term plateau. I don’t feel like I can stay in a heart rate progression program for more than two months without risking overtraining/injury, but as a short term plateau breaker, it’s definitely helped. My current split is more pyramidal: about 70/20/10. My RHR has even started to drop and now sits at a 52bpm from 59bpm. Current mileage is roughly 52 miles a week at between 6-7 hours a week depending on how I’m feeling on my recovery runs days. I’m not increasing my weekly time running, but my mileage has increased due to my increased speed.

One thing that still baffles me is how many pro/serious runners get in so many miles but basically never take days off. I have a hard time being convinced that it's not hurting their potential.

4mpk pace is pretty tough to sustain for even 20 minutes and I'm actually considered by most pretty good at running. Of course that probably feels more like an 8 minute mile for me which can basically be done until dehydration. Really doubt doing a couple hours of that every day alone would get me to close on elite lvl so more likely genetics, supplemental core exercises, speed repeats, diet, lifestyle and all kinds of factors. Probably likely most guys after proper training will run a sub

Hello, how would you run a 5k warmup, event is in about 2 weeks.

He can run easy cause he is the goat

What is this research? Ppl talk about his Z1 and Z2 is easy pace but he rarely touches even threshold for his marathon pace outside of the last few Km. So his Z2 is not his easy pace, instead his HR is overall lower. Stop this fake narrative that 85% is easy. He has 3 hard days in his 7 days cycle A workout, a hard LR, and a Lek so he runs easy 57% of the time.

Kipchoge's Zone 1. Ok. Now what's YOUR ZONE 1. LOL.. thank you.

This is bullshit, how on earth he would be able to run
