Subbed. Once upon a time I played basketball and was a personal trainer during my college years so I can enjoy your fitness content. Studied business & exercise/sports science 💪🏼
Thanks man! I'm trying to make high production value videos that aren't hot trash on a GoPro, because there are too many of those already haha. I studied engineering and learned I like the creative process. Lots of money to learn I could have bought a camera and started in visual storytelling a long time ago.
Nice work man! I ran 2:56 back in February and going for sub 2:50 in 2 1/2 weeks. Your progress is looking real good. I noticed you don’t really do any vo2 max work. You do interval repeats but it looks like your heart rate isn’t getting into vo2 max territory (zone 5) Something to consider for the next training block as it was super helpful for me. You can use the vdot calculator to see what paces you should be running at for 800m 1k etc… repeats. Good luck!
Hey thanks for the great info to consider for the future! I honestly kind of abandoned HR training because my expensive Garmin HR monitors are poorly manufactured and keep going bad, and I got so caught up in 2022 and 2023 with trying to run by HR, and my buddy told me I need to get back to running by feel. This cycle I'm focused mostly on volume, and I might look into threshold and critical velocity paces, but from what I can feel, I think around 6:20-6:30 is my threshold pace, but I want to make sure I'm doing long intervals, rather than shorter ones at faster paces. Who knows, I could be all wrong haha!
@@benjamin.kelley absolutely. I’m totally with you though. I really try to not let hr dictate all my running, but I do get the impression that regardless of hr data, you could benefit from some higher intensity training during your interval sessions to ensure you are hitting zone 5. If you are running 30 seconds faster than marathon pace, you’re probably not hitting vo2 max intensity. 800 meter repeats for a 3:15 marathoner should be done at around 6:24 pace. Just some food for thought. You’re probably in better shape than 3:15 anyways based on what I’ve seen. That is at least on a flat course with good conditions. Keep it up, the biggest thing to sub 3 is consistency and long term improvement, which you’re doing.
I think you're putting in great work for a 3:15. This what is the time I was trying to reach last year before I got injured. Now I'm just trying for a sub 4 LOL

Nice work! Classic not stopping the go pro and then it dies Scenario 😂
It's the worst! Haha

Oh no! Injury got me 6 weeks out from my 3:15 attempt last year - hopefully you come back faster!
Just discovered you and awesome video/breakdown
What video editing software do you use?
Appreciate it! I use Adobe Premiere Pro, but I might be switching to Blackmagic DaVinci Resolve in the future.
