The test is totally worth it. Not necessarily for the V02max part but for the anaerobic threshold and the test shows you precisely where you are burning calories vs fat and gives you much better training zones for heart rate. And yes watch is way off for V02max. A bonus: a lot of health care plans actually cover this test if it’s performed by a physiotherapist or chiropractor.
what pace for the long runs
A little faster than easy pace!
I Am Think About Vaporfly 3 or Takumi sen 10 And is a difficulty decision 😂
I personally prefer Nike!
I understand the vo2 max test but for the middle of the test the 10x30 is confusing. When I perform it do i first do 15 min of warm up and then 10 minute running and then 10 min break and then i do 30 sec run? If this is wrong pls commnet
Thank u. Will be back for update.
Enjoying the content, just subscribed 🤙🏽
thank you!!!
Thanks for working on this plan. I am currently run my 5k in 26-27 minutes, how to translate this program so it will suitable with my current condition ?
Hi. Yes. The plan is practically the same. With your 6-minute test, the paces will be automatically adjusted for your speed sessions. And you just need to run slower for the easy runs.
I’m trying to get to a 17 min 5k, do you have any tips for how I can adjust this training plan to hit my goal? I have 14 weeks and am running 20 miles a week currently. I could up my mileage or increase my pace too and be okay.
I just need to figure out what paces to run this schedule in order to hit sub 18 minutes. I can run a sub 6 min mile but just can’t hold it for the 5k distance so I think this training plan is perfect but I need to identify which paces to run for easy pace and threshold. Thank you for this plan!
You can follow this training plan. Just do the 6-minute test and that will give you the pace you need to do for your workouts. The only adjust I could suggest is to run a little more on your Easy runs and long runs. I believe you have the mileage to do it. But if we talk about the pace, that's what the 6-minute test is all about.
I’m in the first week of the training plan. I just did the 6-minute test this week, and ran a 5:46 pace. Going to just follow the plan right now as is since I’m having ankle pain. But if I feel better after week 2 or 3 then I might up the easy run times from 30 to 35-40 minutes. Question, what pace should the LR’s be at, on Sundays?
@@sarjeezy it's ok to increase the easy run mileage as long as it does not affect your ability to do the workouts. Long runs should be run a little faster than easy runs.
Okay so I’ll aim for sub 8 pace for the LR tomorrow and see what I can handle. I’m enjoying it so far, thank you!
1. 36.18 for 10km is a much slower pb than your sub 17 5km and 2.39 marathon. You should be able to do at least 35.30 is not faster. 2. I dont think everyone can run sub 40 min 10km no matter how well they train, how much good sleep they get and how healthy they eat. I think that maybe 10-15% of all males have the biological potential to ever go sub 40, no matter what they do. For the remaining 85-90% it is impossible.
Let’s agree to disagree 😆 I strongly believe that anyone can run a 40-minute 10k. It may take more time and effort for some, but it’s achievable.
Such a great and insightful lesson! Thank you!
Thank you!!
I am running my first marathon on the 5th of Jan, would start this plan one week after the race. This 10k time is something on the bucket list and i am also 42yo 😅 thanks!
@@jibranjawaid good luck on both you marathon and 10k goal. Keep us posted
Well, if my easy run was @ 5 min/km then yes I could follow this program to train for a 20 min 5 km again. 😂
Nice video, thanks. These will help.
@@ianjames3078 glad it helped
Interesting schedule Diego, might give this a go❤gonna start week 1 on January 2025 later, wish me luck guys
Let us know how it goes!!!
BIG shout out to you Diego! Cut my race time by 4 minutes. End up finishing 3rd in my age group by the gun time but they only used the gun time. I left the last, so that I wasn't in the crowd. Gun time 2023: 26:27 Watch time 2023: 25:37 Gun time 2024: 22:46 Watch time 2024: 21:49 Diego, any indoor workour for the winter? It's cold 🥶 outside!😂
Hi man... thanks for sharing. Huge congrats on your improvement and that 3rd place. Stay consistent! In winter the only goal I recommend is to stay consistent. Just hop on the treadmill and run. No need to get fancy.
in Tuesdays and Wednesdays, I'm getting confused when you say 15min of warmups and 15min of cool down, and lets say the 10x of 30s its total of 5min, do you mean i should warmup and cool down for 15min and then begin my interval?
@@fadyhameed4009 exactly. You run easy for 15 minutes then do the 10x of 30s and then run easy again for 15 minutes
Congrats for your videos. They are great!!. Where are you from?. Greetings from Spain
Gracias. Soy de Mexico, vivo en Canada
What is a good rotation of shoes for someone 6’1 235lbs transitioning from bodybuilding? I have about 400miles in my Nike Invincible 3s.
I would recommend two things. First. Have 2-3 shoes on rotation at any time. This allows the foam to recover from one workout to the other. Your feet also work in different ways with each shoe. Second. After 300,400 miles a buy a new pair of shoes. I used them and try to feel any difference with my old ones. If they feel like clouds, time to change. If I can't see a huge difference, save them and test in a month or so.
Are all Tuesday sprints done at a 1:1 work/rest ratio ?
That is correct!!
I don't even think I could get close enough to hit a 6 min mile. the fastest i've gone has been 9 min mile. I am short and short legs.
@@TheBestThingsInLife3 what’s your running goal right now?
Hi, Diego. Thanks so much for the plan. Is it walking rest for both the vV02 intervals and the LT workouts? Thanks!
Yes, walking is correct!
So excited! Starting this week. This video has been saved until I finished my half last Saturday. Did a week of recovery. Now I'm ready for the speed!
Good luck!! Can I ask what was your half time?
@@bannistercoach I did 1:45, but I was definitely too conservative (I went out too fast on my previous one and had a miserable 2nd half of the race). For the final 5km I was sure I would survive, and picked it up and did it in 23 minutes. So I think I'm set up to succeed.
@@InfiniteQuest86 Thanks for sharing! You are on the right track!
This series is amazing, just finished a parkrun in sub 19 thanks to your 5k plan. Im going to try this 10k plan starting in january, after the holyday eating😅 Im looking forward to a half or even full marathon plan!
So happy to hear this. Thanks for sharing! I'm working on the half-marathon plan right now!
@@bannistercoach can't wait to see it. Running my 10k in mid Jan (fingers crossed for decent weather 😁) and on this program right now. Feeling good about sub 40. Looking toward the half after that!!
@@bannistercoach Ran my 10k this morning. 40:03 😑. Disappointed for sure but also proud of myself. That was a mental battle. The program was great and definitely improved me all around. Km 9 just got me and I gave up a couple seconds. Came back in the final km but it was too little too late. Thank you again Diego for this resource. Onto half marathon training now!!
@@hixxz128 First off, congrats on an impressive 10k time! I can understand how being just 3 seconds off might feel disappointing, but your fitness and effort clearly show. Well done for putting in the hard work!
@@bannistercoach Thank you sir! I am confident I'll break it in the future. Also Strava says one time, but then when you look in the PB's for that run it says my 10k was 39:58. So, who knows. I left it all out there so I can't be too disappointed. Thanks again!!!
Hi Diego, I’m trying out the plan but I can’t seem to see where you talk about pace for the long run… what should the pace be? Thanks 🤩
You can start with the same pace as the easy days. If you are feeing good, you can start to push the pace. As long as you feel fresh enough for the speed sessions
Vapor 2 ❤
100% agree. I love those shoes. To bad it's so hard to get a pair these days.
How does the NEW York marathon compare to Ottawa as far as hills?
According to my Garmin it's 50m less elevation gain. I felt the elevation was more rolling hills, than actual hills-like crossing 2 huge bridges in NY-
I am enjoying this program. Ok friends, i am on week 9. Here is my week 1: Tue: 1 mile 6:29/mile Wed: 3.77 Miles @7:57/mile Thu: mile1 6:55/mile mile2 7:02/mile Sat: 3.82 miles @7:52/mile Sun: 7miles 1hr33s @8:38/mile Week 7: Tue: 1 mile 5:59/mile Wed: 4.06 miles @7:24/mile Thu: mile1 6:29/mile mile2 6:31/mile mile3 6:30/mile Sat: 4:04 miles @ 7:28/mile Sun: 7miles 56:19 @8:02/mile I do not have a track. I run in the streets with hills and down hills. Temperature changed from warmer to colder. I also got some plated choose. Reach out if you have any questions.
Fantastic improvement. Huge Congrats. Thanks for sharing! Keep up the good work!
@@bannistercoach thanks to YOU!!!🙏🙏
My current PR is 20:58 in the 5K, so when you refer to the easy day being 8-8:30min/mile that would be considered a tempo run and not an easy run for me also a 6min/mile pace is typically anaerobic effort for me. My current VO2 max effort is a bit slower and my 1 mile PR is a 6:13. Should I consider slowing my easy runs or keep the paces the same? On the key workouts on Tuesdays the rest is 1:1? 30s rest on the 30s interval, 45 seconds rest on the 45s interval, etc? I've always trained based on HR and I use a chest strap with all my runs.
For a 20:58 easy runs are 8:30-9:00/mile. You can start there and increase the pace as the week go by. Tempo runs are done at around half marathon pace. Your mile time is really good for a sub-20 min attempt after a 12 week training block. And that pace would be your key workout pace on Tuesdays. And yes the rest work ratio is 1:1.
@@bannistercoach Thanks! Yes, my half marathon PR is a 1:44, so just under an 8 min/mile pace. my current fitness is probably around a 1:40 for the half at the moment.
I'm going to finish a 5km training cycle next week with a run, I'm going to do a new cycle to reach my sub 20min with your tips, after that can I go for your 10km training? Or would this be a very large number of km per week? I'm afraid of causing injury
I think that if you achieve your 5k running under 20 minutes, you can jump into this plan for sure.!
Interesting video. This year got a sub 21 minute 5K, aiming for sub 20 minute next year, plan to train for 6 month. One question, for the VO2 max training, what pace is the 30s bursts? Are they sprinting?
Good luck on your future attempt. The pace is the result off your 6-minute test.
Such a high-yield running channel. Keep up the great work!
Thank you very much!
thanks man this was a great video
Glad you liked it!
What Pace do you recommend for warm-up and cool-down?
Same as easy days! Maybe a little slower if you need to.
How to set our easy run pace? Based on information for your video 60-75 sec slower than 5km race pace. Please correct me if I am wrong
That's correct!!
Hello Mr.Diego, I am a 17y/o and I ran 29m56sec 5km with 6 days of practice. Do you recommend me to start with the same intensity shown in the plan or would it be better to train at lower intensities at first and then gradually increase the intensity every 4 weeks? (by the way the video is really helpful)
Start slower. Maybe do the math for a 26-minute 5k, then 23, then 20. If you try to go from 29 to 20 minutes, it's a recipe for getting injured.
@@bannistercoach thank you so much.
Will it work the same if I do the threshold on Saturdays? Thank you for the plan!
You will need to move all your other workouts (speed and long run). The rest between the workouts is super important.
8/10 😅
Which ones did you get wrong?
8/10. Damn glutes let me down again 😂
Which ones did you get wrong?
@@bannistercoach the one about muscles at the end of the marathon and the taper question. I've seen a pod cast where it had a paper that says a 2 week taper is ideal so I went for 2 weeks. I think it was with Brodie Sharp.
@@alanshrimpton6787 The taper part can have mixed answers. But based on the book, it should be three. Although the first taper week you just reduce mileage by 10%
9/10
Which ones did you get wrong?
How accurate is the Garmin watch in relation to the race prediction? I'm preparing for my first 5k race and I intend to run at 22:30. The clock says my prediction is 20:50, I'm unsure if it would be possible to try this estimated Garmin time.
I would not trust the Garmin prediction. The 6-minute test is a way better benchmark.
congrats mate!.. I go with Chip time.
Thank you!!
nice. get back to me when you're 65. marathoners peak in their late 30s.
But I'm early 40s 😁
did you run 42,5 km, or did your watch measure a distance of 42,5?
I don't think there is a way to knowing that. I guess a little bit of both?
Congrats. I too would use chip time but I would say 2hr 40 and some
I like that one... and some
Very interesting and informing, congrats on your time Diego! Robin
Thank you Robin!!!
I would use the official chip time!
Thanks for the video! I've been looking for something like this to direct my training a little better. I completed my vv02 max test today and hit 6:30/mile pace so would you recommend just adding 30 seconds to each recommended session pace as a starting point and go from there until the next vv02 max test? Or would you add more than 30 seconds to the threshold sessions and easy runs? Thanks!
Do you want to add those 30 seconds to the pace, or the interval duration?
@@bannistercoachSorry, to the pace. So vv02 max sessions at 6:30/mile and the threshold runs at 7:35/mile?
My vvo2max was 4:15, I'm in the last week before the race, I went to do the (10x 45s) I tried to stay between 4:15 but my average was 3:55 per lap. I finished the training not so exhausted. Should this pace be increased?
I would not increase it without doing another 6 minute test. Or if you feel the same way 2-3 weeks in a row. Some days we just feel fantastic and can do anything, but we are looking for consistency. Keep at it!!
@@bannistercoach Is there any way in the last two weeks of the race that I can know what time I will attempt on race day? Or is it better to stick to the plan and try to speed up at the end?
What strategy would you use on race day, start and maintain the constant time you want to achieve, or start slower and compensate at the end?
A study showed that starting 3-6% faster on the first mile than the desired average pace is the best strategy. In other words, start fast, hang for dear life the next 2, finish as strong as possible.
@@bannistercoach There's no chance of breaking your breath by starting faster?
No if you stay below that 6%.
Hello Diego. I am going to try this program. I am 52 years old. Recently i did a 5k in 21minutes. I have tried 30 seconds intervals as you decribe in the program and i am doing around 3:50 m/km pace. So l am slightly off pace needed to acomplish the 5km in less than 20min, but i have to start somewhere and keep improving from their. Also on Monday i am going to the gym to get stronger my legs. Finally lets see what happends first in 5 weeks and in the 12th week. I will comment again here and tell you how i did. Kind regards 👍
Thanks for sharing. I think you are right on track to achieve that sub-20. Doing the 20 seconds interval will help you develop the needed speed.
Update please, how did you go?
