This channel has gotten so much better since I first stumbled upon it about a year ago. The video editing is more professional without seeming overly produced; very authentic. And the advice has been solid, for me. In particular dealing with achilles tendinitis. You all saved me a world of hurt and setbacks. Now I am much more consistent dealing with this trouble area. Thanks for all the great information and tips. Keep up the great work!!!
Runners world had an article that talked about personal mileage limits, with examples of how it can range from 100 miles a week, or 11. That really put it into perspective how individual running is. I swapped out some miles for strength sessions. Finally getting stronger and finishing distances faster.
I've learned to cut back on long runs when things don't go to plan. I do try to stick to the training plan as best I can however. I'd rather make it to the start line than be injured
having my Garmin Forerunner 35 has made running enjoyable because I pay attention to my HR during runs and if I get over a certain BPM, I back off. Allows me to pace myself better ---using this vid info for half marathon training as well.
Thank you for always putting together informative videos. This one in particular helps remind me to listen to my body and tune in to when recovery is needed.
My right foot akilles tendon is really bad. Some 9 years ago I had to completely stop running and could only walk with intense pain. The doctors I talked to said I had to stop running, and most likely woild never run again. One even wanted to do surgery wit only a 50% chanse of improvement. I was a soldier since age 20 and SF since age 25, so a life without physical activity was not fun. So I started biking. And it quickly made miracles to my achilles. After 6 month I could actually run at a steady state pace for short distances. Keeping up with the biking, I can keep my achilles happy, but without biking it comes back. Also when I move up a plateau, I have to take extra time to bike more for a periode. But it works !!!
Ib Erik Söderblom Hi! I had a problem for over a year with my akilles tendon and it was getting worse and tighter every month. I was doing some random stretching from time to time but it didn’t really fix the problem. Some day I started doing Ashtanga yoga to gain overall some flexibility and for my surprise my akilles tendon issue got fixed after 4 weeks (~8 yoga sessions of 1-2h). I had a similar case with my lower back one year later and I tried again yoga and it got fixed also after 5 sessions of 1h. My case was obviously not as severe as yours but I am convinced now that 1-2h stretching routines per week can fix (or better prevent) many of the problems. Regards and good luck!
Great advice! I had to learn number 4 the hard way. It seemed like every time I was making really good progress, it was derailed by an injury. Even when I was following a certain training plan, it always felt like I was just on the verge of getting hurt. So the injuries were never a complete surprise. This is the first time I think I've ever done it the right way for me. I'm following a basic training plan, but I've adjusted things so that I'm not increasing mileage faster than my body can adjust to. Thanks for the info!
I checked this out to get an idea if I was in the right track. I have a masters in kinesiology but I wanted a runner's perspective. I've been resistance training twice per week with high intensity internal training with 2 pace runs and one long run. So far I'm at 23km on my long runs easily maintaining 6 min per km
Thank you for these. I am preparing for my first marathon next year after I graduate in college so this video helps me so much. I always have this uneasiness on my Archilles tendon so I better find some videos here for that.
Yep, great advice here! I wish I had followed this a couple of months ago, that would have meant I didn't get all the Achilles issues I have been facing recently... I'm still on track to do my Guinness World Record marathon next month though!!
@@jorgearevalo162 Fairly well actually! Achilles issues sorted themselves out, so all good on that front... Though I started out the run WAY too fast (caught up in the moment) and burned myself out for the second half of the marathon... Great event though! I did a video about it - ua-cam.com/video/iJRP2ij-RCQ/v-deo.html
This is so helpful! I am training for my first marathon now and I am so psyched! I am building out a van to live in and I am hoping to raodtrip to Cali in May for the marathon! Thank you for a great video! Love and blessings!
Running a marathon in 12 weeks and my goal is to get close to 4 hours. That's a 9min/mile pace. My 5-6 mile long runs now are around 11min/mile. Should I continue to increase a mile or so per week on long runs and spend my 3 mile week day runs recovering and working down to a 8min/mile(ish) 5k pace? Or should I not aim for a 4 hour marathon? Thanks for all of your videos!
Been using Apple Watch and Runkeeper app to monitor heart rate as well. Try to keep easy runs between 140 and 150 beats per minute. Seems to correlate to conversation pace and also being able to breathe through my nose. So far I’ve been fairly injury free.
@@ReggieSanchez23 maybe do a FTP test of 20 or 60 minutes so you can find out about your heart rate zones. I havent done such test but i Know for my body when I start hitting 168 bpm my body is working really hard and I should pace myself. I try to have average of 155. I'd say everyone's different but you should find out what your max bpm is
Raced my first ever half this weekend as a prep run 4 weeks out from my first marathon. Ran 1:42 at about 80% effort. (it was 83 degrees by end of race down here in So GA) What do you think of my goal of sub 4 hours for my first effort in November?
No one's born fit, healthy, or a genius it takes a lifetime to learn and become the person you want to see in this world (That last part was from the new Kim possible movie).
Need this, I’m on week 5 of my training plan. Starting to feel my right ankle a little. Gonna search for your video to help out with that. I have incorporated strength and mobility.
omg how did u know i was searching for marathon videos on ur channel 😁😁. Its on nov 18 i m training hard. Please make short videos . Make video on increase stamina and tips before marathon
I have a pretty average diet, not focused strictly on high protein or high carbs or anything. But I've noticed on weeks I cut out dairy(mostly glasses of milk) I feel better. Has anyone else noticed dairy having adverse effects?
I cut out all animal products and went from couch to half marathon in the space of year and a bit. Would definitely recommend cutting out dairy though as it causes all sorts of inflammation.
@@TheLockie12 okay, it felt like I would have to push harder if I was eating cereal or drinking more milk. But it was a consistent problem I could actually pinpoint.
I don't have a particularly strict diet myself; I'll eat pretty much anything in moderation. Having said that, I don't drink a lot of milk; probably because I don't particularly like the way I feel during exercise if I drink it beforehand. I completely avoid it before an event. It doesn't seem to bother me if I drink it afterwards or even the night before.
This is going to sound bad, but I have been around a lot of world class athletes (trained with them for years) (*note: none of them endurance athletes so this may not apply), and I have seen some of the most well known athletes in track and field eat the worst of anyone. I used to eat mcdonalds and have dr. pepper all the time when I was training and asked my coach about it and he stated that with how much we were training and burning calories non-stop and since I was on a college budget, then that was fine and the best way to get the necessary calories to not be catabolic. I think it all depends on how much time is being devoted to training as to whether that is fully applicable for each individual, because not too many people are training 6+ hours a day like we were back when that was life. Now, my diet is more important than it was back then but I still do not adhere to anything too stringent, I have recently and found it too hard to get the necessary calories I needed, I started feeling faint and under-powered. When I was a sophomore in college and the first time I went to the national track meet and saw the Michigan Wolverines distance crew shotgunning beers 2 days before the national track meet in the hotel room my mind was blown. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying people should trash their bodies, but as far as what people put in their bodies as their diet, some of the best athletes I have ever seen ate the most garbage food and still performed extremely well. (I am not saying they couldn't have been better if they ate better, but the food was not a singular limiting factor for them, haha)
At the risk of sounding like an amateur - can I apply these to a shorter distance? I only ask, as I've noticed similarities with my half-marathon training too - particularly the warm-up/cool-down and 'right milage for you' aspects... Struggling a bit with 'what I should be doing'... Thanks guys.
Because even a 5K is considered a distance event, as you are spending the majority of time in your aerobic hart rate zone, I would say these tips definitely apply. I'm the furthest thing from an expert but, in my experience, "what you should be doing" depends greatly on your goals, the time you have to train in a day/week, and how long you have to train before your event. My weekly training will look quite a bit different if I have 3 months to train for a marathon vs. if I have 6 months to train for that same race.
There is plenty of advice and training plans on the internet. A good starting point would be to look for programs from people with a solid reputation. I started with the Jeff Galloway run-walk program for my first marathon. Once you see what a known good training program looks like, and have worked through it, you can tailor that plan to meet your individual requirements and goals for future races.
Just finished my first half marathon. Training for full marathon, you guys think it's possible to get a under 3 hour finish for first time ? check out my page as I will be posting training videos. Would appreciate a sub !
I made the mistake of ignoring the pain. Major shin splint 5 weeks in. Having to take 2 weeks off so I’ve been biking and using elliptical. Here is my training video for my first 1/2 marathon.. ua-cam.com/video/6yS8FNiv-J0/v-deo.html It’s all a learning experience

Awesome! How people handle the mileage is so individual, it can take some experimenting to find the right amount for yourself.
I can run 10km less than 30 minutes is it 👌 ok
I've learned to cut back on long runs when things don't go to plan. I do try to stick to the training plan as best I can however. I'd rather make it to the start line than be injured
exactly!
Undertrained is always better than over injured
Important to remember weather condition greatly affecting heart rate and need to be taken into account when training.
Absolutely! Heat can really affect your effort, so be mindful.
Yes, heart rate important
Is does?! (Besides wind obv)
@@TheRunExperience for me it's only EXTREME heat that affects it. I tend to run better in hot temps.
having my Garmin Forerunner 35 has made running enjoyable because I pay attention to my HR during runs and if I get over a certain BPM, I back off. Allows me to pace myself better ---using this vid info for half marathon training as well.
works and applies just as well to your half marathon training as much as the marathon :)

Guilty of not paying attention to strength training and ending with a calf tear 3 weeks before my marathon 😬🙈 Lesson definitely learned for next time!
oh no! sorry to hear that. hope you're on the mend and healing. Have you thought about joining the training club? you'd really benefit...
It really sucked but fully recovered now! I've booked myself in for a marathon next spring so I reckon joining the training club will really help :)
Great points!
❤ it! Thank you guys!
You are welcome!
I can run 10 km less than 30 and my training zone is not flat it’s high hills is it ok or I can stop ✋
Great advice that can apply to any distance:)
You should have an amazon link for the wahoo heartrate sensor so you get commission on any sales that happen because of this video.

that's great. check this video to establish proper heart rate zones for yourself: ua-cam.com/video/SeUPh15zJUo/v-deo.html
When I run I’m at 175-190 bpm depending on incline. Is that bad ?
Reginald Sanchez everyone is different. Only bad if you feel bad in my opinion

Jim O'Connor good job I ran around the same and I paced for my age bracket
83 degrees sounds like nice cool weather compared to living down here in south Florida :p
Trying to figure out how to give a big thumbs up.
