I am loving my long runs when using the maffetone method. It forces me to take short walk breaks due to the low heart rate for me being 130. Also I work out the distance on the map before hand so if I want to run say 24km I will simply keep running to 12km mark and that way know I have no choice but to run back home and therefor complete my kms.

I ran a 20 miler with 9 min run 1 min walk break & I agree I lost little time but kept feeling good mentally & physically

This video is amazing! I’ve got a 20 miler this Saturday - I’ll be sure to let ya know how that went using these methods 😎

Thank you Lindsey, Shona, and Devlin! The Coach Parry videos are simply fantastic! I'm so grateful for each of you.

been training for 100 miler for a while now. I incorporate brisk walking into my long runs to save energy and keep my HR low.

Thanks again for your videos. Always so helpful. I implemented the run/walk (9/1) method with Weskus Marathon and it worked quite well. Did my best time for this race by doing this.
I also did it with a previous long run and I was able to keep my pace and felt good at the end of my long run ( 30km)

What you said about planning the route, makes a whole lot of sense. I usually keep my bottle and gels in the car and run a few big loops, but yeah it gets boring after a while

Good content that keeps me coming back.

This was full of great info, thanks!

Pacing myself by only breathing through my nose during my long runs. 45 yr old beginner here.

There were a few occasion where I dreaded the long run before but never during a long run. Even the 20mi long run before my last marathon was mostly fine even though my pace dipped roughly about 8% at the last 40min. My biggest problem at the moment is that I have to start the long run so early in the morning to avoid the heat (sunny SoCal) leaving me with little time to have a breakfast ahead.

I find that walk breaks turn my legs into mush. It's like they think it's break time and they need a while to feel bouncy again when I start running again.

[noel]

Brisk walk is better than stopping completely for short breaks? (30ssc)

[kevinhaskins]

I love my long-run days. It is the highlight of my week but I often run it too hard. I struggle with just making it "fun" vs. being true to my training. Fun typically wins.

[elzuzo]

I´m 56 and my question is how often should I do walk breaks in a 15 mile long run?

[jeffmousseau]

It’s interesting in their marathon plans how they do not run many 20 milers

[PoetWithPace]

I wonder how many have watched this and still keep running too fast? 🤔

[regularguy]

Ahh! Back in the 80s when I could hammer a 55 min 10 miler then do mile repeats the next day!
