Currently increasing my volume from 30k to 50k a week, 180 is unfathomable to me. Very impressive
Same here :)
Same. I just had my biggest week last week at 70k. Can't imagine doing 110k more.
Same, 50 hurts enough!
Not impressive at all, and judging by Ben's times, doesn't work. You lot should not attempt to follow someone whom is not an experienced, elite athlete and especially online
@@robertmalseed7376 I disagree, the mental and physical toughness to run 180km a week is very impressive to me. By that logic I also shouldn't listen to you then :)
b/c you get it 🙌🏻
Big things are coming soon and I can't wait! Good work mate
Keep up the good work Ben,Love the vids, really inspiration
a cole and ben double upload day! how lucky.
Love to see it :)
That’s a big week. I just started my week 1 of training to prepare for Valencia and I think I will peak at 160-170km this block (prev marathon block I peaked at 140). Will be following your tips as usual. Good luck in the Vitality 10K 💪💪
Thanks Victor, best of luck with your training.
Your dedication is inspiring Ben! Currently, my coach and I are trying the "less is more" method w my training, to see if it will get me fit to race without falling back into my pattern of getting injured at the end of every season. It might sounds strange but it feels almost harder to stick to less than 60kms a week rather than build up past 80kms/week, I constantly worry if I'm doing enough
Ben, you touched on a very important thing at the beginning of the vid - the training trend or running curve (I like that therm, lol!). What would you say about a clip that would touch solely on the long term progress? I bet that reflecting back, you could share with us quite a lot of useful tips, that could help us not only in building race-plans, but to approach the development of us runners in a balanced way. Cheers!
You and Cole, something great to watch before going on my run this morning!
Thanks for sharing.
My monthly milage is arround 150 Km. Lately I've reached 180 Km.
To me, weekly milage is too strict, I need more room for other schedules.
But anyway, that pace 4:20 per Km for your easy Run is motivating me to run more and more so that I can achieve that.
Awesome video, thanks for sharing that.
These videos are incredibly interesting, it's great useful information
Glad you like them!
I was busted at 80k/week with no speedwork, just easy. 100k more is bananas
Great vid and big week of training. You've said it many times before and it always seems so strange to me, but saying the treadmill "feels easier" is the absolute opposite for me. Lack of airflow maybe, but it all feels much tougher on a treadmill to me.
You really inspire me to run! Currently trying to improve my 5 k from 21:30 to go under 20 minutes that would be a huge milestone for me if i can hit that. I have much respect for what you can perform takes alot of discipline and hard work. Keep it up, Ben!
Hello i am pretty much the same as you i have the same 5k pb and have the same goal i just wanted to ask you what a week of training for you would look like ?
Ben's times are comparatively mediocre and are so slow that it doesn't take hard work and discipline. Considering that Ben is a senior male, and can devote full time to training and competing., he is far behind a decent reasonable level.
Ben I hope you ignore comments like this. Your times are great but more importantly your dedication is amazing!
What’s your pb and how long have you been running?
@@robertmalseed7376 who hurt you bro
Huge respect! Love your content- it's really really helpful and entertaining as well! 😊
How do you connect your training(exposure) with work? What's your profession?
Hi Ben, thanks for all your great content. Which Soar TShirt is that?
Hey Ben, great video as always. Few questions: how come you don’t take a rest day in the week? Even the Kenyans seem to do that. And secondly what do you do in your down time when not training in order to recover for the next session? Any tips on this front would be great. 👍
I do roughly 50k a week, but 180k is insane.
Great video, well done for this blistering week! Hope ypu achieve your goal on that 10k! SOAR is great but as a normal working bloke you can not justify the price.
Thanks mate, appreciate the support. Understood Re soar, certainly not affordable for all but can't beat the quality :)
The price of their singlets is not THAT high compared to a Nike AeroSwift…basically the same price, but the SOAR is on another level in terms of quality
Amazing ❤
Inspiring 🙌💪🏻
🙌 Thanks bro, lets hope it pays off!
That's a huge week 😅
Hey Ben! Thanks for sharing your training week, I do the same. Just want to know how many km I should do on my longs runs for Halfmarathon ? it's going to be on 15th of October.
My marathon Pb - 2h 57. I keep from 25 till 32. My goal is 1h 20 min.
Tnx for answer mate)😃😃😃😃
all the best 🤩 and luck on your upcoming race
never been this early
Can also see interest of Olivia Dean on your trainning plan
Is there a comfortable liner in the marathon shorts from soar or do you need to wear some briefs?
I bought a Soar top and it split in 2 places at the seam after wearing it just twice. It is being replaced after a lot of hassle 😢. Let’s hope the replacement is better. If not, that’s the last Soar product I buy…
Oh thats a shame, Ive not experienced that so hopefully just a one off :)
I need to join one of your easy runs for my 5/10km PB attempts 😂
ahah, pace is all relative i guess :)
You need to get in the lab mate. Get a lactate test done and a vo2 test. It’ll aid you in your training and knowing how your body internally reacts to the different paces
In my limited experience running at a slight incline on a treadmill feels a lot closer to real deal road running for me. Not sure if this is a thing but I like to do it
Used your code, tnx!
Legend! Much appreciated for the support :)
When do you do strength and core?
Ben, if your pace-equivalent HR drops with in a few days/a hard week, this is a sign of fatique of your autonomius nervous system (called vagus overshoot).
Isn‘t a bad thing, can be used to control your training load, trigger super compensation etc., but should always been monitored….and clearly been separated from „beeing fitter“, as most oeople think.
The same people think, they have lost fitness, after for ex. a taper, week when their HR is back up to „normal“, which actually is an indication of more „freshness“ (your fitness cant be easily measured that way, only via lactic acid or spiro).
Very interesting, thanks for that :)
yeah have seen this a lot for myself over the years - the harder you train the harder it is to get your HR up.
180k per week??? that's amazing👏!
I ran 185km one week, I experienced Runner's high the last day. I wish I could do that again. Damn injuries. But I never did any improvements anyway...
When you say you started in 2019 what do you estimate to have been your 5k time at that "starting point"?
I am doing 10k per day, can some one recommend how to tackle shafing issue?
At this pace, you will soon make it to the olympics! 👏🏾👏🏾
It takes about 3 weeks for a stress fracture injury to become apparent. It might not be coincidence this video was made around 3 weeks before your injury. When you're back i would defo consider re-evaluating these types of weeks. I don't think you took a rest day?
Sixth!
What kind of records do you got for your record player!?
Mac miller, Oliver dean and foals are my current favoruites :)
I run and walk 60 to 70 k a week i love and am 58 life is good .
Just curious what are people's reasons for wearing a barely-there singlet rather than nothing?
Pinning race bibs.
i find treadmill workouts feel harder than road or track
Olivia Dean 😍
I am 13. I ran 38 min 10k. I am looking forward for a 37. is 100k+ week too much? thanks 🙏
I think what we see with adult runners is the ones who were not active as children/teens need to do high mileage to transform their fitness, whereas adults who were active when they were younger (I don't mean 'training' but more playing and enjoying sports) can run very well with a much lower weekly mileage. So I mean the benefits an adult gets from a lot of easy running, junior athletes seem to develop naturally just by enjoying sports, the outdoors, different activities. Around that kind of time for 10k, quality runs around threshold - tempo pace are going to be the key thing, you probably know that. The aim should probably be to progress in those kind of workouts rather than aiming for a particular weekly mileage, even though that's what other runners like talking about. If you already enjoy and feel good running that much per week I wouldn't say you need to reduce it though.
@@borisoglebskaiathanks so much for replying! it helped a lot! ❤
Wow 130bpm at 4:30 pace, did you use maf method at the beginning of your running journey? Some people say that if you want to run faster with lower heart rate, you should use maf method. What do you think ben?
I've always wondered, why do you reference kilometer? I work with many folk in UK, and they all referring to mile, and not kilometer.
nearly everyone I know in the uk (including me) uses kilometres. It might be because a lot of us start out at parkrun which is a weekly 5k race not a weekly 3.106 mile race.
@@_Tp__ as does most of the remaining world except from UK and US^^
Glad he does it this way. Really hard to keep converting with other creators as I´m in the EU outside of the UK.
@@_Tp__ understood, perhaps I’m mistaken. Or, the folks I talk to refer to mile so is Americans understand 🤣.
Two reasons for me; I race 5k and 10ks not milers and I started running when i lived in sweden where everyone at the club used KM's. Its the language I learnt i guess :)
Uk: Driving in miles, cycling in miles, running in kilometres, except a marathon that's in miles. Then you've got other bizarre things like drinks - beer in pints, other drinks in ml. A person's weight in stone, weights at the gym in kg 😂

Tbh, paying as much for a pair of shots as for a pair of supershoes just doesnt seem worth it for me.
First, 😊
you can’t both be first
@_Tp__ cause she's not 😉 1 minute tooo slow
@@fabsterun nooooo, i hit the comments first within twenty seconds of alert, my first first😇
22% of the video advertising Soar ☹️. I know that's how it works but still disappointed that it's not all training content because I enjoy it.
you don't need to run 180km a week for a 10km race, maybe im wrong😅
And u get injury! To many milage if u not are top elite runner! I only run 120-150km weekly and I run 2.16 marathon!
easy pace of 4:20/km ;_;
Crazy mileage. And unnecessary.
Hardly surprising the Sunday long run had to be cut short.
Theres many ways to skin a cat.
@@BenIsRunninga positive comment from another fellow runner. I think what this type of comments mean is that you should not need this mileage to achieve your goal of 30:30, unless there is something further down the line that we are missing (getting ready to race road ultras, which would be a quicker and more realistic way to represent GB than through marathon running, I believe you mentioned this at some point in one of your videos?). You seem to have enough talent to achieve the 30:30 goal with more efficient and "clever" training
longest ad ever bro
Without ads, I wouldn't be able to make youtube videos for a living. Its a necessary offset for offering free content. Hope that adds some clarity :)
@@BenIsRunning na man no worries, the quality of content shouldn't even be free given all the effort people like you put in, didn't mean for it to come off in that way. much love
Soar is a rip off
4 years to get to 30:30 10km Road, 31:26 10,000m track and 14:57, 5000m.. that's really pathetic and terrible progress. I recommend that you get proper coaching from an experienced coach, as self coaching is definitely not working
Ben I hope you ignore comments like this. Your times are great but more importantly your dedication is amazing!
@@alfietyrrell140 you cannot ignore Power of 10. You really need to have a good look at his times and they are not at all fast as he says they are: 4:09 - 1500m., 4:31 - Mile. 8:29 - 3000m., 14:57 - 5000m, 31:26 - 10,000m
@@robertmalseed7376if you are anything over the age of 12 im shocked
grow up
thats honestly insane progress for 4 years...
One day you will get over your failure to ever go to the olympics. I hope you one day finally find peace rather than hatred.
