Thanks for the vid. I find it difficult to understand when people say, "Run at the speed you can maintain for an hour". How do I know ahead of time? Surely, one will start out slower to conserve energy for later on, so the speed will surely increase towards the end, with the end in sight, so-to-speak. Also, mentally, an hour's run could turn into 80 mins... 90 mins... depending on how the body feels on the day. So you almost need to be like a car to know the exact point your body will simply cease to be able to carry on. Surely, it's not an exact science. Hope I don't come across argumentative (which I probably do!) But I always struggle with knowing what pace I could do a 5k...10k for as this will vary daily depending on fatigue levels, hormones and even mental resilience to push through one day more than another. If that makes sense?
Hi Victoria, yes that all makes sense. having a watch that shows you the speeds you are running at and at the end shows you average speeds and heart rates is really helpful. The more running you do the more you'll know speeds to run at for the different distances you are doing. None of this is an exact science as you would need lab testing for that and regular retests as your body adapts to training. The 60 mins run would be a test to do to then use those speeds for other training, just like you could test your 5Km and 10Km times and speeds. If you were then out running and you ended up doing 90 mins at a pretty consistent speed then you would have been below anaerobic threshold and more towards aerobic threshold which is fine. You're not testing every training session, you can just test to get a guide for what you are doing. So you will need to go of how you feel based on fatigue levels, hormones etc. Also even if you were tested in a lab, that's lab conditions on a treadmill, which would then be different to running outside in different weather conditions on different surfaces. Just remember everything is on a scale and nothing is exact, it's all a guide.

Hit the wall very young from training too hard and resting too little.. Still in the wall. You learn the hard way. Thanks for the video.
Unfortunately that's how most of us learn, and even then we don't learn and do it again. Hopefully people watching this will learn quicker.
@@hyroxworkouts Agree. Good video. Thanks again.

@@hyroxworkouts absolutely, and thank you for your response.
By hormones, I mean energy levels as a result of hormonal fluctuations. In women particularly.
