Love it mate, brilliant video, as London approaches this is the type of content I will be digesting! Loving the double threshold stuff, I picked Matt's brains about it when he was doing it not so long ago so its something i'd love to try at some stage!
Yeah it’s definitely worth a go if you’ve got the time. I’ve found having a stable 3x10mins or 6x 5mins workout on a Tuesday morning and Thursday morning are a great way to get into it. 30mins of controlled hard effort sets you up nicely for an evening session
Just found out about you. Really enjoy your chill approach. No fake hype energy. Subscribed! Those Vaga hats look awesome.
Good to see the full day and to get an idea of what these double tempo days are all about. That 7 second increase seems really significant for someone already running very fast 👍🏻🏃♂️
Hanks mark. Yes I’m interested to see how it pans out over the next few months too
You have an incredible mindset mate, I'm new to making videos and I can only admire your persistence in the great content / running effort. Another great one mate !
Thanks Scott! Appreciate that. Have really enjoyed your content too! Keep it up and hopefully catch you on another start line too!
Great video. And awesome job with your training!! You are going to do phenomenally well
I appreciate your confidence, thank you
@@BenIsRunning you are in great shape! I can't even do 400ms at your easy pace. 😒
Great video Ben! Love seeing an insight on your marathon training! You'll smash it at Copenhagen
Thanks tanw! 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Wish you success in your marathon preparation and competitions
Thank you wanok, hope you are well
Thanks Ben. Really interesting insights into a day of your training. It's good to see the threshold sessions are starting to show improvements.
Thank you busta. Yes I found it pretty interesting when I looked at the data :)
Loving the content mate , I’ve only recently subbed ( about 3 months ago ) but some of the best running content about !
Great video!! And amazing progress in such a short space of time. Keep up the good work 💪
Thanks victor. I shall :) appreciate the support
This is huge. Well done mate, not only on a cracking run on that treadmill but on a cracking video too!
You are going well Sub 2:30 at Copenhagen, you heard it here first
Cheers mate appreciate that! You may be getting called out in the next video that all I’m saying. Be ready
@@BenIsRunning I’m so ready
Great work. Keep it up. Your training is going well
another woderful video here Ben. looks like things are going the right way for you in more than one way. Coffee and free clips too. :) not too long until you will smash your marathon
Thank you Bradley! What more could I want ☕️ 🏃🏽♂️ 📌

Always interesting to see what you eat and how you approach training Ben. It seems like the higher mileage is agreeing with you. Just watch for a bit of overtraining on it. It is easy to dig yourself into a hole with giant miles. I am glad to see you improving though. I know I have to be judicious at my age about how much and how intensely I run. Also, yes, for marathon training, you usually have to sacrifice your race weekends. Enjoyed the video.
Thanks Eddie! I’ve had a few days off feeling fatigued and I dialled things back for a week and then was able to build it back the following week. Have definitely learnt to listen to the body and know the warning signs :)
Your scrambled eggs are going cold while you open your swag!
Too much swag, what a dilemma
Love your videos! For your American viewers can you explain “chuffed?” I’m not sure of the spelling but I’m guessing it means “amped” or “happy” about based on context. Keep it up man!
Thanks Mike! Of course, pretty chuffed means I’m happy with that or pleased with myself :) after a good race you’d be pretty chuffed 😂
Hi Ben, are you basing your threshold off our watch? If so you may want to do a proper test and they do this at the Human Performance Unit at Essex University - could make a good video!
scap that, posted before you explained in your video! 😂 but suggest a proper test still, then you can train in your Threshold HR zone accurately 👍
Agree guys! Would love too eventually but they are a little costly. For the time being I’m happy with the watch. By using a hr monitor instead of wrist based hr it’s much more accurate
Ben - Do you use a foot pod or anything like that? I wear a Garmin watch but the pod I have doesn't data collect properly and I'm looking to go in a different direction I think.
I don’t use a pod. I’m not too interested in cadence, power ect personally. Pace and hr is all I study really
Great video! Do you supplement your workouts with abs or stretching routines?
Great job Ben. Apologies if you've mentioned it before, but what's your coffee machine?
Awesome video mate. Been following you for the past weeks. Do you happen to have training plan for 5KM? I would like to improve my 5km PB. Cheers
Hi Ben great video as always! Can I ask your advice on the garmin forerunner 45s is it a good watch to get??
I’ve not tried the 45, sorry :)
Come on big vid, really enjoy the day in a life stuff 👍🏼
Thanks James! Hope you enjoy it 👊🏻
How can you stomach dry toast?! You need to try some avocado or butter on that 😂
Great content as per Ben. Is the watch suitable for beginner runners?
The watch is suitable for any runner. Just happens to be the one that the fastest marathon runner in the world uses 😂
Great video. What camera do you use and what editing platform do you use ?
I use a canon g7xm2 and insta360 go2. For editing I use Adobe premiere pro
Such a good video this one:)
awesome video, you said you have some 10k's booked, are you doing the Trowse 10k in Norwich?
I’m not unfortunately! I’m doing one local to me in Essex :)
@@BenIsRunning okay, goodluck with it! :)
Nice video Ben, best of luck to your training for London Marathon.
One question tough, what has to do with Threshold the second session of the day?
I’m doing Copenhagen but thank you! This second session was definitely above threshold as my club mate wanted to push on a bit but typically would be the same pace as the am session
@@BenIsRunning Copenhagen indeed, I saw Andy's comment and it tricked me. Nice training chasing the Treshold, I agree with you that this is gold.
Hey Ben, another great video - what main reasons do you use a separate heart rate monitor instead of watch?
More accurate
Yeah my wrist heart rate is usually not reliable
this might be a stupid question but how did you ‚update‘ your threshold pace without lactate testing?
Great video, insane weekly amounts! Last year I was doing 60 km per week and was quite pleased, now am ramping up to it again 😄 What sort of percentage is 171 bpm of your max heart rate, if I may ask?
I usually top out at 185 in the closing parts of races so I guess between 80-90%
@@BenIsRunning
Thank you, good to know. My max is about the same, so I don’t really have to convert at all. Neat 🤗
hey ben, how to keep from shutting down in hard workouts? i often find myself getting in my head when the workout gets really hard.
When it gets tough I think to myself why am I doing it. Maybe it’s a goal or a target and that’s usually enough to get me going. Teammates also help with that. On the tough sessions if someone is sharing the workload it makes all the difference
Do you struggle to maintain weight ever? It just doesn’t seem that much food for how much training you are doing?
I don’t personally no :)
Did you leave the jacket at the rep session location??
I was going to ask the same! 🤔😁
I do yes. It’s very quiet so I know I can trust it. If it’s a busy spot I wouldn’t do that :)
I understand that but it looked like you ran home without it??
How do you determine your threshold pace? And how did you arrive at 165 to 170 bpm?
Its the pace he runs to get to that heart rate. His pace is getting better with the same heart rate as he gets fitter. So basically heart rate is the answer. 👌
Based on the pace I know I can roughly run for 1hour and from months of threshold training. It’s more of a target for my effort in workouts than an absolute
Forgot to get your jacket
You weren’t suppose to notice that
Nice one Ben. Great to see your training is paying off. What are your thoughts about when someone is ready for double days? I like to starting doing them but as I’m only running about 20k / week I reckon they’d do me more harm than good.
Generally you should be running at least 6 days a week before thinking about doubles.
Otherwise what's the point?
Yeah I personally wouldn’t recommend them to someone running 20k a week. I’d say build your volume up slowly and say when you hit 50/60k it may be something you want to try. Replace a 10k with a 6k and a 4k to start with so your overall weekly volume doesn’t increase to allow your body to get used to it. It’s not for everyone also that being said
I’m guessing 2:28 🔥👊
Hi
That’s a little on the spicy side I reckon 🌶
"brought with my own money"? Jesus.
Fortunate enough to get coffee turn up at my door sometimes so like to be transparent. Sorry if it comes across the wrong way.
@@BenIsRunning Sorry Ben I just meant I get annoyed when people say brought instead of bought as they are 2 different words....just a bug bear of mine. Love the channel!
2.40 is way too easy for you. Should be 2.25 or at least 2.30.
