Literally the smartest runner I've ever heard speak. Man is down to brass tacks. Gotta love jack daniels

[@BiancaSpider]

seriously... who runs and hasn't watched this??? only 460 views??? then this video series has to be the best kept secret on youtube

Seriously, this simple explanation is gold.

[@damianreid2452]

There are a few very knowledgeable running advisors/coaches up here on UA-cam and there are some not so very knowledgeable ones to boot, but this guy has a lifetime of pure gold, for free, for anybody with a few minutes to spare. Seems bizarre that more wouldn't bite.

10 years later, this comment aged like milk 🤣

[@ILiveAndBreathe]

Right... it's so weird this hasn't a few million views considering the popularity of the sport

[@azteacher26]

People like aesthetics.

[@alexuziel7734]

the guy's a brilliant teacher

[@danielpedersen8520]

I still refer to these videos from time to time. Awesome stuff

[@fine163]

A brilliantly clear explanation.

[@paperjourni8964]

Thanks for posting this. I really wish his whole talk would be available in ONE long video. Any chance that is possible?

[@MooMooMath]

In the 90's Runners World gave Dr. Daniels the title " World's Greatest Distance Coach" He has been researching endurance for a long time.

[@cheexiong8259]

Great teaching! Quick and simple!

[@Billy-wd1oi]

My old college cross country coach I learned so much from Jack

[@DAdam-fo1md]

Old Jack, the best of all!

[@devo3333]

Smart man every athlete should watch this

[@aryanmittal531]

this lad is such a brilliant teacher like if he was my bio teacher i would ace my class

[@mazigames]

just put my running shoes here 😊

[@samabbottt]

always trust an old dude with a whiteboard

[@Grg0rasik]

great explanation. easy to understand thank you sir

Great explanation

[@mikegburnside]

Comfortably hard. 😊

[@zachmcquaid131]

So this would be considered a Tempo run?

[@guilhermediad1659]

Yes

[@richardmiddleton7770]

Tempo is just below threshold.

[@f.m.barron2916]

Yes

[@michaelpiccirilli2264]

Another way to say it is fast, but in control. It helps develop economy at faster speeds. Once you start over striding and excessive arm movement it is no longer an AT run.

[@lukecampbell8465]

I have a question, are vaporflies (super shoes) good to wear on threshold runs? Even though it’s effort based.

[@pete5691]

It wouldn’t matter because your goal is lactate levels. If they allow you to run faster easier you still need to run fast enough to reach that 82%.

[@gregorio7945]

This is sweet

[@natesilvers2166]

So what's better for 5K threshold training or intervals?

[@Collin1215]

Nate Silvers I think it varies in different runners, since a competitive 5k requires pretty fast speed. In his book he suggest to start from rep training to intervals to threshold before your race.

[@mr.richard3109]

@@Collin1215 thank you thank you thank you!!!!

[@f.m.barron2916]

You need to correct mixture of both. You would use shorter intervals to build raw speed longer intervals to build extended speed and speed endurance. you typically need a day of both each week

[@yipikaye]

So how far should I threshold run when Im getting ready for my marathon?

[@a.h.5296]

Ugh even easy is hard for me at this stage!

[@VDOTO2]

Hi Amanda, on Easy runs listen to your breath and make sure the effort remains conversational so run as slowly as you need to.

[@lucaskocak3251]

This makes sense to me but what percent of my runs should be at threshold training? Looking to get faster at marathon and half marathon.

[@f.m.barron2916]

7%

[@CornishTigerTV]

Double threshold for the W

[@gunaseelanm3479]

Threshold and tempo same meaning ??

[@VDOTO2]

Hi, great question. Oftentimes runners will conflate the two but we typically recommend Threshold in 1mi, 2mi, 3mi or 20 min workbouts. For many "tempos" start slower than Threshold and may finish near Threshold pace but are typically much longer in duration. We do recommend Marathon pace as longer/tempo like training sessions but mostly for marathon runners as practice sessions for their race.

[@user-pc1es4dv9h]

А где перевод ?!?

[@jessedavis8753]

what does 5:1 or 1:2:3 WR mean in his book

[@KillerHorst1993]

Jesse Davis Work to rest ratio. For example, 5:1 W/R means that when you work for five minutes, you need to rest for one minute. The harder the work is, the longer you have to rest.

[@bmp713]

To improve endurance should most of your training be Threshold training?
Many so-called experts seem to think slow Zone 2 60-70% is best but to me that seems barely even beyond walking.

[@VDOTO2]

Hi Brandon, you should still train at other intensities as each helps the other but if your goal now is to improve endurance then you should emphasize training at your Threshold.

[@bmp713]

@@VDOTO2 Thank you. I'm only trying to improve my heart, circulation and cardiovascular health.
Is below, above, or at Threshold best for increasing heart diameter, stroke volume, and maximizing oxygen delivery and bloodflow?
