    Thanks for these tips, Ben!
    I've got to agree 100% about trying at least a half marathon first. DON'T jump straight to a marathon, it is an entirely different beast than a 5/10/21k! My first real race was a marathon and it almost made me quit running!
    Also in hindsight I didn't know too much about salt depletion/etc, at least I think that's where I went wrong. I got to about 32k and my hamstrings absolutely cramped up, and I could only run/walk every 500m for the rest of the race. I don't think it was "the wall" because I had plenty of energy left over, but from everything I've read since I'm pretty sure it was from lack of salt. Drinking gatorade at every station wasn't enough.

      Thanks for the feedback! A great way of training this also is focusing on time on feet for long runs and gradually building these up during a training cycle. I’ve found that really helps condition you for the last 12-15k :)

    Despite being 14 years old I did the opposite of this by starting of doing half marathons and marathons and recently switched to 5k/10k and I'm definitely paying the price of increasing my mileage too quick at the start because I have terrible shin splints right now but hopefully gonna come back soon!

    Great tips Ben! Except the vitamins 😂 They only offer benefit if you are deficient in a particular micronutrient, which the vast majority of us won’t be if our diet is good. They’re also completely unregulated if they’re available over the counter, so you can’t be sure there’s much of the claimed active ingredient in them anyway. They don’t do any harm, so absolutely crack on if you’re getting them for free, but for us non-influencers they can be super expensive and a waste of money in my opinion.

      In Australia, there is a possibility of iodine deficiency. The dairy industry no longer uses iodine in their equipment cleaning process. This was a big source of dietary iodine that has been lost. In this case, a normal healthy person who doesn't eat fish or bread 2-3 times a week would benefit from a vitamin tablet which includes iodine.

    Regarding your training plan, before you are doing threshold but now younare doing speed or vo2max? Is that right? I am planning alternating vo2max and threshold per week on tuesdays.

    • @BenIsRunning
      @BenIsRunning  3 місяці тому +1

      Yes Tuesday is more vo2 max focused as my longer marathon workouts focus heavily on threshold reps. I personally like to tick both boxes in my 7 day cycle

      Add the high intensity intervals back into your training. Long runs don’t need to be as long which then allows you to focus more on the speed development type running. Hills are also great

    why do people always talk about getting into marathon. It is much funnier imo to pr a 5k or 10k or maybe a hm. In addition, I think fewer people would get injured if they focused less on the marathon and more about pr a 5-10k

      You’re right. You can also improve ya 5K time as you train for the marathon. At some point most people wanna push themselves to see how far they can go….that’s why most go from 5K to 10K, to half marathon, to the marathon and eventually an ultramarathon o
