Best of luck!

Could the cycle of shin splints be because as you say whne you are able to train you train quite hard. maybe reduced speeds and distances when you train and perhaps a gradual increase in these over many months could work for you? I had repetitive achilles injuries for 10 years. But have been injured free for 18 months now.... starting with 8.5 min/km and now at 6min/km which isn't quick but I hope to be into mid 5 mins / km by this time next year. That would be slow for most but for me am happy to get there even if it takes forever (am 57 years old so no spring chicken lol).... hope this helps?

Not helpful at all. Whole lot of waffle and im 8 minutes in and still no clue how it sends it to your watch. Thanks for nothing i guess gonna go try another video

I’ve just bought the garmin 255 after watching this video as I’m 4 weeks into a 12 week half marathon runna plan but I’m wondering do all models have the pace range gauge ? That’s one of the main reasons I’ve bought it that’s all so I don’t have to take my phone out with me anymore but at the same time the readings are a lot more accurate

Pace lag on the watch is ridiculous

Great effort mate. Well done.

We need a month two update 😊

Hi. Do you know if it fits a galaxy watch? Or would i have buy one of the following watches?

For me it's plantar fasciitis. I'm beginning to face the fact that at the age of 44, I can't run more than 4 times a week. Even better would be every other day so 3-day weeks and 4-day weeks. I've added in treadhills (walking uphill on the tread), rowing, and a spin bike for cardio cross-training. My annual Runna subscription runs out in ten days and I won't be renewing until I'm back in the type of shape where I can benefit from their type of programming.

ugh.. yeah I'm suffering a very similar fate these days. I'm taking a rest day today and will bike instead amongst other self-massage techniques my chiro taught me. being 40+ is a skill that nobody prepared us for!

Silly question but with the runna app you can edit the plan and reduce runs per week and you can set it to reduce the load

I am running the GNR just coming to end of my runna trial and urgently need to decide if I am continuing

The more I get into running, the more I think that proper training plans are really (in a polite way) repetitive but effective. The problem I have with Runna is that they have to justify the ongoing cost - so they introduce new sessions every week to keep the interest/variety and skew too much higher intensity work. I think it’s because if they did a more traditional plan then no one would justify the cost. I am doing a Jack Daniels plan, which is great (and from a book) but no way would I pay £8-£15 a month to be told I’m doing 2x2 miles or 3x 2 miles and a long run with x miles marathon pace every week then arrange my own easy runs based on what I want to do haha. Hope your injury gets better, easy pace and volume sounds like a great plan.

Like you I have stopped using the Runna App - whilst it guided me to a 47:23 over 70 PB at last year’s London 10,000 where I finished 1st in my age category I was finding that my body couldn’t cope with the sheer volume of sessions which included faster running and in the end I found I was only doing 1 or 2 of the set sessions each week - as such I couldn’t really justify the cost.

Runna seems to have the ratio of easy runs to speedwork wrong - it's a recipe for injury.

I'm not familiar with Runna other than having heard about it but only one easy run per week sounds like it could be a significant contributor to your injury frequency? I've not heard of any training method that would use only a single easy run.

Love the breakup. 😂 its not you, it's me 😂😂

Good to see you back 😁

I hope all goes well for you leading up to GNR.

The road to recovery is important because it makes you value your running when you can’t do it do you agree Matt

I've been drinking the berry beauty for a couple of months and what I do is I add banana, avocado and spinach and it tastes amazing. I am now drinking the plant collagen from them. I've tried other powders from a company called feel and it cause my my stomach to ache and gave me gas.

Watched your entire vid. I can fully appreciate your comments about being competitive and not wanting to be a jogger. My suggestion would be that you need a very long time at easy running paces without the speed work. And to supplement that and get the endorphin rush of higher intensity work perhaps look to some form of cross training? On a bike or elliptical. I train with Runna too and it does having you running at very high intensities. It has tempo paces that are much faster than threshold and some very fast intervals. If your plan is 3/4/5 days a week it also has a high % (often over 30%) of your running paces over easy. Just my thoughts and I hope something finally clicks for you.

Who else wants to be like her. I am nine and do a 2k in 8 min 4sec❤❤❤❤

Hi, I currently use my Apple Watch Series 9 synced to Runna for my 10k training and thinking of switching to Garmin Forerunner 265. I know Garmin has a HR zone bar on its running watch face. Is that bar also visible when using Runna for your workouts? I know Runna focuses on pace but I'd still like to keep and eye on my HR zones. Thank you

I suffered shins splints before. But I fix it by cooling down after hard work out and Majority of my runs are in Zone 2

super sorry to hear this mate

Hi and thanks for the comprehensive review. I've just received my first carton and the amount on the label is one heaped TEASPOON (5g) and not tablespoon! No wonder it tasted rank, if you're putting in that amount!! 😜

So sorry to hear your struggles with shin splints. You’ve tried so much, but I hope there is someone who can help. X

I’m not currently injured but have had a few spells where the left hamstrings never seemed to heal properly. My wife was listening to the part about how you feel not running and she says I’m exactly the same. I’m nearly 50 and same as you not ready for the running as fun or running as exercise stage yet. I hope you can get it sorted out.

I had a similar issue with shin splints but I started using to foot shaped zero-drop shoes (I used Altra Escalante's but I have heard Topo is another brand which makes such shoes). Dont know if you ever tried such shoes, but it did end up helping me. The first few months were difficult as the legs take some time to get used to running in zero-drop shoes, as building the calf and feet muscles to be able to bear the loads from running takes time, so it is recommened to increase milage in them slowly. Hopefully that helps you out.

Have you tried modifying your form? Consciously make more steps, it might feel silly but try for a few minutes and go back to your normal cadence. I do when I feel tired. Also, play with leaning, try to lean back when you run easily, and lean forward when you run faster.

Is there anything that aggravates the shins? I have the same issue but I have been cross training a lot and that helps

Have you thought about barefoot/flat/zero drop style shoes? I had issue with shin splints and tried these and yeah the seemed to eventually work. The first week or so using them almost destroy you calves, but I found it worked really well..I then transitioned back into my running shoes for racing and found my lower leg issues disappeared.

Ahh so sorry to hear this, I can hear how frustrated you are which is totally understandable. I’ve been an on/off runner and currently making my way through a Runna 10k plan, been finding it hard and I’ve thought of your videos a few times while I’ve been out running! I hope you can find a way to continue, everything crossed for you x

Sorry to hear this. I Commented on your last video to say I was looking forward to seeing your 16 week plan develop. Hopefully you can catch a break from this and make it to the start line still.

I feel you. I'm in exactly the same situation but with tendon injuries. I'm 51 and have been running a similar amount of time. It's so, so frustrating. I did a similar video recently questioning whether to carry on running. See the end portion of this video: ua-cam.com/video/BOegrw1GZWA/v-deo.html

She’s a northerner who are mainly a friendly bunch. She’s also from my home town! Lovely young lady and super super athlete 🩷👍👍👍

From a guy like me who's just started training for my first half marathon (and the Potters "Hilly" half ha ha) very inspiring to see you grit on and finish that despite that hamstring. It's a late comment but well done!!!

Just completed week 1 of my GNR plan with Runna, 2nd time doing the race! Look forward to following your plan and progress

Does Runna cover nutrition plans?

On race day do you use Runna to ensure you’re running at the correct pace? Also can you set your desired finishing time to aim for, for example maybe I want to run a half marathon in under 1:50.

Great vlog. Thanks for the insights on the app. Thinking of subscribing to it for my next marathon. Great to hear the chat function is good. That was my only worry, that you didn’t have that support. 👍🏽

I entered the ballot for the first time and got in. So it will be my first time running the GNR. Lets see what its all about 👌

Finally, a review with real running. I feel relieved knowing that those won't go anywhere while running. Thanks

I’m doing the same 16 week half marathon plan for Run the Forest over here in NZ. Loving it so far, looking forward to this series!

Enjoyed your last series. I’ve done the same and Started my GNR journey early to help avoid injury. See you on the start line 👍

i have a Garmin Venu 3s and am wondering how to use it when integrated with Runna, especially when i’m assigned splits. when i start the workout directly from my watch, do i need to press anything else during the workout? i have Auto Laps turned off already. for the workout i was assigned today, i was supposed to run 1.9 miles at a comfortable pace, then 1.9 miles at a slower pace. so am i supposed to press the lap button after the first 1.9 miles to create splits? is this step necessary or would Runna/Garmin automatically store it as 1.9 mile splits?

Nice video! Thank you. I also follow Phily's channel. Glad to see Dutch talent Jasmijn Lau is back after lots of injuries. She finished just before Phily.
