Love the concept of “Jerry miles”, never heard of that theory before!

Gwen, you are a champion. That’s the word Colleen used to describe you the other day when she did a live on Instagram. I think it fits because you’re so consistent and precise with everything you do. I admire how nothing you do is half-hearted, and you are so in tune with your body and your running. Great video :)

"100km, which is 62 miles, which is like nothing"

[moderatesunited]

120 Jerry miles. I've never done more than 60 per week actual miles :(


*Remembers Gwen is Olympian; feels better

Really like the Jerry method of tracking. I average 40-50 miles per week during marathon season and 20-30 during triathlon season. "Listening to your body, " is excellent advice especially as you get older. BTW, love the Rudy Project glasses....

[lauraklenke]

Thanks for giving an inside look on how you track your mileage! You make a lot of great points in regards to preventing injury! I would love it if you could share your journaling process! I love the videos! They have helped motivate me in this strange new "normal". Stay healthy!

100% agree with the adage of not getting wrapped up in trying to hit a specific number of miles but rather focusing on the overall effect trying to be accomplished with the training during a given period and letting the miles appropriately match the desired stimulus.

Love how you and Pat are so chill! Keep the vlogs coming.

I'm definitely a believer in listening to your body. Take a day off when needed. When you work. Work!! Gwen you are a Champion in and out of competition!!

Hi! This is so encouraging. I love keeping track of my miles, especially in the summer. I am currently doing 40-43 miles a week right now. Hoping to build up to 50 by August.

[ryanlafrance]

I always give myself ranges. Like 8-10 for an easy run, it might be that you don't feel too great during the run and cut it a bit. Each day will vary just a little, but by the end of the week the range can be as much as 10 or so. Say 65-75, just because you hit 65 doesn't mean you didn't do everything you needed to. I have no more than 2 days a week of doubles and one rest day or a day that is 4 or less miles that is on Sunday which is after my long run on Saturday. I like waking up and deciding whether I should shakeout or not. That's my favorite part of the week.

This is why I coach by time instead of distance, except intervals.

[FloydOutdoors]

The thumbnail had me so confused for a second

[tomfisher]

Great cinematography as always from Patrick. This is the one of the best videos. Were all hung up on time milage enjoy listening to your views on this subject and comparing the two sports.

[paullee]

Hi Gwen. Would it be at all possible to do a Q&A with Shalane on your channel some day? Would love to see it. Cheers.

[SaudeeEsporte]

I like the way you keep track of your mileage.I think what you said about listening to your body couldn't be more true to prevent injury.I have a history of injury caused by hard training that was solved by changing the way I saw training

[paolocross]

Hello Gwen, i'm from Belgium, i count by kilometers, i do around 50 km/week . other than total kilometers i count Intesity Points based on a simplification of Daniels' Running Formula where i will do a ponderation with x0.2 points per minute of E running, x0.4 points per minute at M pace, x0.6 points per minute at T pace, x1.0 point per minute at I pace, and x1.5 points per minute at R pace.

[eimearrosenicholl]

I track both 'mileage' (although my watch splits in kms because I feel it's more relatable to most race distances) and time but time is the more important metric for me. I feel like the body 'understands' time spent at an effort level rather than distance covered, so is more valuable for determining the training load I can handle. I also like to track rpe and keep an eye on what my rpe for all my weekly training is, and compare that to the average of the preceding 4 weeks. I love the glasses btw!

I switched to 9 day weeks about 2yrs ago. I give myself permission to switch workouts on the 3rd day. I can be too sore for hard intervals or long runs, but tempo tempo tempo isn't a bad default 😇

[freddieso]

Great insight Gwen! With all the math, it's good you're an accountant 😊
Since Gerry miles = time, why not just use the time from your watch? My coach has me use time vs miles.
