Marathon Pacing Strategy - COROS Activity Screens
Переглядів 2,7 тис.10 місяців тому
For marathon racing on a flat course, and even split (or slight negative split) is the ideal pacing strategy. I use the "Lap Pace" data field to help ensure I keep an even effort throughout the race. This video goes into further detail on how I have the Activity Screens setup on my watch for both training and racing.

A rundown of how to setup and use one of my favorite features - the COROS Basic Interval. I do nearly all of my workouts using this easy and convenient option on COROS watches. It can be setup right on the watch and takes no prior configuration or planning.

After over a month away from UA-cam I have made a quick update video. The look of the studio has slightly changed, and I've been taking advantage of having a video setup always available to make more Reels on Instagram, but I'm still hoping to continue to make more regular UA-cam content in the future! My running has been continuing on well, and I ran the DONNA marathon last month. I have the L...
COROS Heart Rate Monitor

Background on heart rate monitor technology and my thoughts on the key considerations when choosing how to monitor HR. For me they are accuracy of data, reliability of readings, and comfort/convenience.

Nike Alphafly 3 - NEXT% or Not?

In this video I discuss the naming conventions that Nike has used for running shoes over the past few years, including the Nike Alphafly 3 (and I do my best Dwight Schrute impression when explaining why it doesn't have "NEXT%" in the name).

We need more vids!
What other supplements do you use as far as multivitamins, joint care, and fish oil?
Curious what bottle do you run with? Do you dispose once empty?
Purchased used at the price of £105. They probably have 100 miles on them (judging the amount of wear and tear). Tested at the running track (5x1K), the AF3 recorded the 2nd fastest time. These shoes are great even if used. I wonder if purchasing them from new, I would have beaten the record hold by the Puma Deviate Nitro Elite.
It's really good advice bro. Thanks
Your most popular UA-cam video is this .. the next three, are like this, shoe related .. Do more shoe related vids..
Can the distance set to meter? Example 400m per interval. Because my samsung watch only can set minimum 1km.😅
Thanks for this, much helpful!
Thanks, this was very clear and helpful!
Thanks for sharing. It helped me
Nice
The jersey is 🔥, where can I buy it / get a similar custom one done like this!? Thanks 🙏
I can get from warm up to intervals. But when i press the button again it just starts another rep and doesn’t go to cool down
I'm going to try attaching my Garmin Fenix to my upper arm and determine if the heart beat readings are more accurate than wearing it on the wrist.
Just subscribed. Awesome review. I'm not able to use the AF1 and AF2 due to the arch issues and so super happy now that I can actually use the AF3. Finally managed to buy a pair last week after always sold out. Managed one run - it was awesome but back in the box they go 😢 due to the price. Can't wait for race day.
I love BPN super famous and good
Thanks. Didn't even realise it was there on the watch.
Wow! This pair looks almost new after 500 miles! I've got 400 miles with my Nike Vaporfly Fllyknit before I retired them My AF 1 have only 105 miles though and my VF 1 and 2 only 254 and 165 km respectively but all of them are still in excellent condition.
Hi ! Thanks for the great review. Can the Coros HRM measure the heart rate without wearing the watch? Or does it always need to be paired with it during activity? The reason I ask is because, in addition to running, I also play beach volleyball. So obviously I cannot wear my Pace 3, but would still like to track my hr. Thanks!
You can pair it with a phone app (like Strava) and use that to track HR. 👍
hi there. when you use lap pace, without pressing lap button, will automatically count every K as lap? or is there any settings i should do?
Yes, auto lap at every K ( or mile).
@@benjohnson763 i put on alert every 1K, but the LAST LAP is always zero out. it seems to count any other K and after as 1 huge lap. hmmmm wonder why.
I'm not sure. I use this configuration and it shows the Last Lap correctly (once you get beyond the first lap).
@@benjohnson763 will check on this sunday HM. Thank you man, i appreciate your content and weight loss journey!
Can you mix Maurten with ketone iq?
That's what I've been doing. 👍
I’ve been doing that for a pre run, I get light headed. Is that normal?
It is a good combination as the ketones will keep the insuline response under control
Another bias Nike fanboy
is this good for 1600 meter and 100 meter fast racing in off road also?
Great video as always 💪
Those are the routes I run when I’m at my in-laws! Maybe I’ll come find you next time I’m up there
The comparison I needed! Thanks!
Been looking for this kind of detail regarding the logistics for a traveller at these events. So few people talk about it.
No expectations to make a ton of videos, but when you do drop some stuff - it’s always a treat
Thanks! I appreciate it!
I just got there to help some friends for those last miles and saw you at mile 25, you definitely looked fresh 😁. 👍🏼 great recap and strategy for LAM some people start way to fast at the beginning (including me 2022🙈😆)
Yeah, it's definitely downhill at first! Awesome you came out to support!
Mad respect for the training and racing schedule you are able to hold. Having a full time career and a serious running "hobby" is rough to balance. Love the no non-sense style, and the flirting with dry humour! Can't wait for your other race videos.
Extra dry 😂
Boy can't wait for the Boston and London marathon recaps 😅
🎉 happy to see a new video!
Thank you 🎉
What is your carb source for pre run?
I normally don't fuel prior to training runs.
I love the Alphafly 3! Good video!
The blue ones go hard 💙
Should I get the same size on AF3 if I am US9.5 on VF3?
Cool new channel! somewhere down the line could you do a detailed video on your running journey from day 1 :)
Yes! I love that suggestion 👍
Have you flood it with sweat or water during marathons? If so, the glue is super strong.
In option C - how often are you consuming a gel and how long does the Maurten 320 drink last?
Maurten 320 for maybe 10K or a little longer and then evenly space gels over the remainder.
Will subscribe when you change from Coros to the almighty Garmin.
Doesn't Coros offer GAP as a feature? While not as good as a Stryd foot pod, GAP alone can be a huge benefit for runners without a well tuned personal RPE.
Yes! It's called Effort Pace on COROS and that's a great point, especially on a hilly course! I'd still use the "Lap Effort Pace" option though (instead of instant).
I'm going to try the first screen set-up. I got too caught up with my instant pace my last marathon.
Ben, thanks for the video - I was expecting you to smack the box off the table at the end (LOL). I know you said you don't pause workouts. I wish there was a way to edit the pause screen data. Example, after running a lap on the track if I hit pause it doesn't show the current lap or last lap time it only show cumulative time. Thoughts?
Yes, that could be useful. But I set that info to be on one of the activity screens so I can see it without pausing. 👍
This is exactly what I was looking for. I just got the Coros Pace 3 and I feel like I’ve been trying to maximize the workouts and features which has me overthinking it. This simplifies it just enough! Anything you do differently for treadmill runs? Could definitely use whatever tips you have for that!
Wow I’ve been using the Pace 3 for a while now, especially for the last 16 weeks for LAM and I didn’t even know I could do this 😂. Thanks for sharing. I’ve always wondered how I could put my Lap Pace on the top section of the screen instead of HR.
Maybe I'll see you there!
Super helpful. Liked and subscribed. I'm running a marathon next month and planning to use 5x maurten 160 - when would you recommend to start taking them during the marathon? And then how often? Thanks
I would evenly space them throughout the race. But make sure to keep taking them later on (when it's very easy to mentally forget or not want to). 👍
@@benjohnson763 thank you
Appreciate your advice.
Do you think the vaporfly is still a relevant super shoe? For shorter distances for example?
You got the wts.wrong.
I’m from LA and will be running the LA Marathon as well. Hopefully I’ll get to see you there!
Yes!
