So helpful! I’m hoping I can pick your brain a bit here. I’m coming from cycling (I wouldn’t say at an elite level, but I was racing at a pretty high level). I really want to run a marathon next year. I’ve worked my way up to 20 mile weeks. Over the last month. I feel like they aren’t putting my body into too much stress. I’m used to training 9-10 hours a week on the bike so that may have something to do with it. At what point is it okay to no longer follow the 10% increase rule and start incorporating some workouts? Thanks!
if you were cycling that much i would try to get up to somewhere between 40 to 50 miles per week. that's the area where i started to see those first breakthroughts - it's also the mileage level you'll likely be around in that first marathon training block. as you build up you can work in some light workouts (fartlek style, tempo etc) once or twice a week

I'm just running sloooooooow. COVID-19 did a number on me. I cant wait until I can add more varied sessions.
Does the 80/20 distribution (zone2) of training zones relate to weekly km or time?
Best wishes from Germany

Agreed ,fantastic content my brother!
Great video. Please do a video on how to periodize your training and different training paces ex: Critical velocity, threshold, vo2max.
Thanks! and great recommendation - I'll add that
