    Great video. I spoke to you briefly in Chamonix last summer and mentioned how much I enjoy your vlogs. They keep getting better and better. Very high quality. All the best, Richard

      @@HarryRunsUK I'm going to Chamonix on Thursday for a short hiking / camping trip.... Chamonix to Courmayeur on the UTMB route (and some variants depending on weather). Can't wait. Best of luck for UTMB this year. I look forward to following your progress and watching your videos!

    Heh Harry, you are so living my dream, really fun and informative film! I go semi retired next year at the age of 55 and hope to spend loads of time in the mountains. Recovering from Achilles injury so your film of the bike and strength routines very timely. A gravel bike is probably on the way for me. Might be interested in some coaching for a few months to get me back on track if you have space? Will be in Cham for UTMB so maybe see you there! Cheers. John

    • @HarryRunsUK
      @HarryRunsUK  5 років тому +1

      Time in the mountains is the best goal. Hope the Achilles is healing up well, be sure to get a physio if you can or haven’t already. Always good to get specific hands on help to speed along recovery and prevent further issues. Drop me an email with regards to coaching and we can chat there. Be sure to say hi if you spot me in Chamonix.

      @HarryRunsUK  5 років тому

      A bit of both Mark. I’ve found that planning routes on Strava Route planner works well and easy to use and sync the GPX. But once I know an area better I’ll just explore and have certain peaks in mind.

    harry i got a question, just curious, but would u do strength, weight training in a hard session day, or in easy days?

    • @HarryRunsUK
      @HarryRunsUK  5 років тому +2

      Great question. I like to do some complimentary body weight strength work straight after longer runs or hard sessions. The body is already fatigued and it’s a good way to build on some strength both physically and mentally. If I’m lifting some weight I like to go into it after an easier run or cardio warm up to make sure I’m fully activated whilst able to maintain good form , balance and results within the session. Mix things up!

    • @jakerose8928
      @jakerose8928 5 років тому

      @@HarryRunsUK Totally agree with you, people dont combine muscle training with running that much, this is actually a nice way to do it, in hard days there would be strength training, follow by a easy day tomorrow, not only recovering from the running but also letting the muscles repair itself.
