    GTN and Dan - It's been about 8 months since this great series. Unintentionally, Dan's experiences illustrated the dangers that can befall the keen athlete, new to running, but with strong aerobic fitness from other sports. I'm sure that many of your viewers would love to see Dan return to running, applying lessons learned, an accomplishing his half marathon goal.

    Sorry to hear about you bad luck. I followed your program for my first half marathon and it work a treat for me. Started out with a goal to run an average of 4:30 kms but half way through training I added a second goal of running under 1:30:00 and ended up running 1:28:52. Good luck in recovery

    "I'm not dead yet...I'm getting better..." -- Dan Lloyd. Seriously, though, I've had a low-grade persistent post-tib tendon injury for several months. Oftentimes those lower leg/ankle/shin injuries are from overtraining -- taking on to much too soon at too fast of a pace (that was definitely me). I decided to start MAF training a little over a week ago, and I'm already noticing a decrease in pain. Foam rolling, deep tissue massage with a tennis ball, and Graston Technique scraping have been part of the healing process as well. Best of luck to you -- you have a lot of people on your side!

    I am over 60 and still train for triathlons. The only thing now is I spend a lot more time trying to keep form and not get injured and it does cost me time out on track. I guess I can take solace I am not a professional and just do this to try and stay fit, finish the race and not get dead doing it. Speedy recovery Dan.

    Used this plan over the last 9 weeks, although adapted it to an 11 week plan to build up to the mileage.
    Went from running a 1h47m half, to strictly following this plan and ticking off each day's training with the goal of running an average of 4.24m to hit the sub 1h.35m.
    Finished today's Plymouth Half today with a 1.32.47
    Thanks for the motivation!

    This is why I started triathlon. In the 1990's, I was a pure runner, but I started to get injured, a lot. By switching to triathlon in the 2000's, I found that I could maintain aerobic fitness by biking and swimming when I couldn't run. Biking is not a one-for-one replacement for running, but you can keep from losing your fitness when you replace running with biking. They are very complementary disciplines. I hope Dan gets better soon. Not being able to train sucks.

  • @alexclaville3079

    We are in 2024 already and I know Dan is also doing his new series to extend his longevity as much as possible. A sub 90min half marathon is a great metric of cardiovascular and leg strength. Call Dan to repeat the training and reach his goal!

This wknd I ran the Bath 2 tunnels half, last minute change of course, no tunnel due to social distance etc. Ran great came 3rd overall 1st in age group and with a time of 1.25. Thanks for the plan Mark, spot on. Now I'm looking for a 1.20 plan, any ideas.

  • @53glowe

    Hi Dan...has a sports foot specialist looked at your feet in terms of pronation etc. Swelling in the injury area is inflammation and typically happens when the ligaments / tendons operate at the end of their range for too long...this can be simplified as overuse, but it's more complex than that. Pronation if present, can be rectified by wedges to level the angle and bring back those ligaments and tendons into a less damaging range. It's just a suggestion, if you haven't already looked at it. Chiropractors don't typically investigate the cause of an injury through running analysis.

    Looking forwards to Dan’s half marathon PB some time later this year 😂
    I haven’t been following any type of plan as such but I’ve been enjoying the process and have tried mixing up my running with longer runs, but also some shorter and more intense sessions. A couple of weeks ago I went out to run around my local park. Usually I like to run around 10k, sometimes a bit more, sometimes a little less. I was feeling good on this particular occasion so I decided to run 10 miles instead of 10km, but then after 16k it’s only another 5k more to complete the half marathon. The first 10k was around 48 minutes, with a fairly slow first couple of km, then the second 10k was 46 minutes. I did the half in 1:39.27, knocking 12 minutes off my previous PB. It was nice to see I could hold a consistent pace over the full 21km. I had no expectations, I just felt good on the day.

    Nice videos. I am an "older" runner. Really only started running in April of 2020 (what else are you going to do during a pandemic?). I was sailing along fine through December and January then "blamo" I felt what I thought was a charlie horse (that's American English for "niggle" I think). Tried to ease through it, no dice. Tried a couple of days later, first 1/4 mile was OK then I felt what seemed like a tear. Limped home. Dr. Google said level 2 muscle strain (I would recommend a real doctor). Level 3 would have been a complete muscle disconnect. Level 2 are 6 to eight weeks recovery. I waited 36 days and gingerly started with "low and slow" runs (low heart rate, slow pace). I can still feel that injury spot (probably scar tissue) sometimes.
    For my one year running anniversary I decided to do a 1/2 marathon. Two friends offered to join me. I am not sure I would have finished without them. Well, I would have finished but maybe walking. That half was actually 14.6 miles. It was the trail I picked, forest trail on the Olympic Peninsula WA USA. Not a barn burner time, 3:03. I've never been a runner. Desk bound computer job my working career. But at 64 and only running for a year, I am happy with it.
    Both GCN and GTN are where I go to fantasize about getting fit for grand adventures. I found this current series when I was trying to figure out how I "SHOULD HAVE" trained for my half marathon attempt versus just doing it (not quite, but...). Thanks for the inspiration and real world experiences. They make a difference out here.

  • @theparalexview785
    @theparalexview785 3 роки тому

    Ugh, injuries are frustrating. Last month I knocked 5 minutes off my 5k, aiming for only a 2 minute improvement. It was thrilling... until I woke with sore abs and hip muscles that still haven't completely healed a month later.
    Yeah, sure, my legs and lungs were doing fine, but the sudden shift to longer strides and higher kicks revealed the weakness in my core conditioning.
    So while the Maffetone and similar low stress jogging training have some validity for developing an aerobic base, the only way to get faster is to run faster... and risk injuries

    Ever done a video for cyclists who've not done any running at all or in ages to get into it?
    I'm quite fit on the bike and can cover over 100 miles in a day at decent pace, but tried a 5k a year or so ago and while breath and heart were fine, I was in a world of pain from the day after as my body was not used to/ready for the stomping.
    A gentle few weeks cyclists' program to ease into running injury and pain free would be great!

  • @graemewoodward
    @graemewoodward 3 роки тому +1

    Q for Mark/GTN: In retrospect, was the 9 week plan a little ambitious for an older athlete? Reviewing it - would you change things up? Add an recovery week in the middle? I'm thinking of taking the challenge myself (to drop my 1/2 ironman run PB from 1min 50), but I don't have a time limit to complete, and I don't want to injure myself like Dan or some of the others who have commented below.

    • @Ecohappy357
      @Ecohappy357 3 роки тому +3

      I followed the plan and happened to get injured just a day or two before Dan. I’m similar age and speed to him, have been running for years but upped my running with this plan. My advice would be 1. you need to be honest with yourself whether you’re ready for the volume of running that’s in the plan. Some weeks there’s only one rest day - are you really ready for six runs a week, consecutively? You’re meant to only increase volume by 10% a week I think and in hindsight I was way too ambitious. I could keep up with the pacing no problem, but should have paid more attention to the amount that’s in the plan. 2. The slow runs should be slower than you probably think - I’d say about 5 to 5:30mins per k. Because I was feeling fine (until injury) my speed of the slow runs kept on going up - another mistake in hindsight, don’t make them a test of how well you’re running, keep them slow even if they feel fine. Hope that helps. I’m back up and running now, aiming for half marathon next month. Best of luck!

    • @jasonmccartney4167
      @jasonmccartney4167 3 роки тому +2

      I run under 1:25 and this plan would have left me injured 100%. In my eyes it's more suited to an already established runner that can comfortably run 40km per week without injury. I always take a day off running after the long run or key session. As Tom has stated already, I'm fascinated at how fast people still run on their easy/slow runs.. I'm nearing a 1:20 half marathon and my slow runs are around 6min/km, I do this purely to get the volume in without getting injured. Running takes time, you have to be patient, build the additional volume slowly. I was going to be shocked if Dan got through this without getting injured! Too much too soon. Good luck with it Graeme!

  • @sebpig9956
    @sebpig9956 3 роки тому

    Dan, I love your cycling videos. Can you make sure you are running with proper shoes? Every runner needs to be fitted for his running style and your shoes typically don't last more than 300m. Also you need to check with the chiropractor what surfaces he is recommending you run on. Different injuries require different surfaces. Good luck.

  • @fredrik.eriksson
    @fredrik.eriksson 3 роки тому +1

    I'm almost at the same level but I have a higher volume of 60-80 km/w. My easy runs are mostly at 5:30-6:00 pace per km. Running sub 5-pace on easy runs seems too fast.

    Your 9 weeks half marathon plan may be suitable for those who already runs 21k as a base training (at least can jog that distance) without pain. And even for those, there is not enough recovery days for most of adults. Pain in feet is not normal, and shin splints are mental disorder with physical side effect.
    Good luck to Dan with recovery, he should go to the place that can do comprehensive diagnostics and treatment plan.

  • @fritsgerms3565
    @fritsgerms3565 3 роки тому

    This was predictable. A massive cardiovascular system using a whole new set of muscles, tendons and bones. It takes years to get the bone density and ligaments conditioned enough to run long distances without risk of injury. You see this often in triathlon when a competitive swimmer starts to run. In no time they run fast times and a few months later they have injuries. Dan should aim for a fast 5km.
