    My Bose sport earbuds just died and they don’t make them anymore. They sounded good and stayed in while running! Do these really stay in while running even long runs? These are seem similar and might buy them. The Bose barely lasted 4 hrs and would die on the end of marathons

    Hi Dom, for the 30/20/10 method of training, if I do 5 sets of 5 x (30/20/10) so 25 minutes of running, ....How many times a week do you think I should do that to try and get the performance improvement in 7 weeks as per the study? I like this scientific discussion. 👍

    • @AverageDomSlim
      @AverageDomSlim Місяць тому

      Hi Dom. Love your style; entertaining and informative. Same topic. Seems like 1 hour week running then. Study quotes 14k/ 8.75 miles. Am I reading it right that that's it. No other running at all? No easy runs? Or does the 30/20/10 just replace 'sessions' intervals/tempo/races? Many thanks.

      @@AverageDomSlim It started about a month ago, my knee was basically back to normal, but after a speed workout in a pair of shoes that were 1/2 size too small I ended up getting a minor strain in my upper right foot. It then evolved into my ankle after a volleyball session, and lastly, a pain in between the bottom of my heel and underfoot here recently. After about 2 weeks of rest now, the pain is pretty much gone in my heel and underfoot, but the doctor told me to take December off, so it wouldn't come back, and so I would be giving the foot proper rest. Hope you continue to do well though 😊
