Finally a YouTube running video that didn’t once say “You gotta run slow to run fast”. 🎉😅

Thanks once for the advice, been following your marathon plan for the last 14 weeks...2 weeks to go and feel strong & healthy. One thing I feel that has really improved is my running economy and ability to handle the extra volume. right effort and the right time.

I mean, this content is the best I've been able to find in years, love from a simple runner from uruguay

with 30 days of training for 5k, under the belt(probably the reason my belt is so loose) with 0 history of sports, i landed in average of the Cooper Test.
now i want to be somewhere between World Record and an Elite 5k runner, within an year or two.

And THIS is what separates you from other running videos!! Thank you🎉

[KoiRun]

This video spoke to me in ways that I can understand so clearly. Your explanation of steady state speed or lactate turn point and running economy is a treasure I can repeatedly turn to.

Great advice all around for people beyond the beginning stages of aerobic base building. Too many people get stuck in the long slow distance for long runs. That's a way to build aerobic fitness, but if you want to run with true endurance you have to work on thresholds!...Also appreciate you brought up recovery and proper fueling to support it 👍🏼

[cwattage]

Legend! Love your videos, so much invaluable info to help all runners of all levels progress!

[jakeduncan]

You've probably already covered this, but could you do a video pre race day routine what is the purpose of doing a shakeout run the day before a marathon.

4:26 As a minor improvement, I think having the shepherds on your side of the fence would motivate you to go faster

Honest and wonderful person Great athlete.

Great video! Best one I've seen at explaining the science of running. Looking forward to implementing these things into my training.

[markangelosanchez]

Great tips! Thank you Stephen! Great content about how to run efficiently whilst not losing the enjoyment and fun in running! Also appreciate how much emphasis you make on hard work whilst most running YouTube Channels just keep shoving you with all these gears and tech you don’t really need to be a better runner! Appreciate you and keep up the great work!

Ive been working on my VO2 for about 2 years now. Following a Kenyan workout plan. Even on my "easy' runs I always had steady state speed in the middle and always try to hit marathon or faster pace the last 1-3k. Now I even cruse flat roads and attack all inclines to work on my Vo2

[timtrenholm]

I just finished doing a VO2Max and LT1/2 testing session, but their protocol used max incline treadmill which my calf didn't like. I eventually stopped early since my true desire was to find LT1/2, but was still pleasantly surprised when my VO2Max scored 3 pts higher than the garmin algorithm. It also provided more clarity on my LT1/2 since there had been much "debate" between me and my coach on where mine where. I now have alot more overhead on LT1 for easy runs, while LT2 was about where I thought it was from previous half marathon results.
Really appreciate your content!

[SimShepard]

Easy to understand explanation if VO2 and lactate threshold. Thanks, Stephen.

[ericflynn]

This is probably THE most helpful and well done running video I've ever seen❤

[liamroche]

I like the tip about videoing yourself on a treadmill. Easier than doing it outside, and can control all the variables precisely!

[paulg]

Stephen you aced it, theres a lot of videos on youtube for distances running training, but yours is spot on accurate, great job i subscribed
