What an insight to a thorough breakdown of the different training zones. 45 minutes of education from someone of your calibre is honestly outrageous 👏🏻👏🏻

[henryedward]

I like these longer vids; loads of great info here. The fitness vs capacity really resonated with me 👌.

[raouljaribu]

I've taken to rewatching some of your videos again and again until the concepts come to me easily, and alongside doing some reading and watching Goran Winblad, I don't think I've ever been anywhere near as knowledgeable about running. This is just fantastic stuff

my zones:

Chill, I’m breathing hard, go meet god

This video is amazing. Starting to take my marathon training more seriously for Chicago (aiming sub 3:30) and this is just brilliant. Can’t thank you enough, favourite running YouTuber on here. Quality information and speaking from the heart and of experience. Not sugarcoating the difficulty of the grind. Thank you

[mundungo]

This is the best and most important running video I've ever watched and I'm not new to the sport as I started in 1985.Brilliant work Stephen.

[joohj]

This is probably the best video I've seen on zone training and god knows the algorithm has recommended more than a couple to me the last year. Much appreciated Stephen!

Also, running 5:30-5:50/mile at Zone 2 is absolutely bonkers.

[cozzaferg]

As someone that’s just started running videos like this are invaluable, keep up the great work!

[adairlima]

I’m fairly new to running and this is the most important video I’ve watched. Thank you for taking your time to share your experience and knowledge with us. My training plan for 2025 just went next level with your words.

[stakstonkvinge]

Thank you for this video! Insightful and educational. Worth every minute spent watching it.

[JuanGonzalez-wisj]

My name is Juan ! Just to share with all you guys ! I bought the marathon plan from the coach and is amazing in in the 9 week on the 16 weeks training and I’m feeling really good and see improvement little by little and feeling strong. He provide you all details and tips and how to become a better runner!!

[FitDevyn]

Absolutely loving your videos. I was a collegiate sprinter and jumper that got into distance running a little over a year ago. You give some of the most helpful info and insights about training effectively!!

[JohnBirtchetSharpe]

One of the best you have done (outside of the Jogging room) on Youtube . Great work.

[iTZzGer]

Masterclass. Thanks for the honest content, it's helped me tremendously to break the sub 4 marathon. Banking weekly mileage at lower zones was the most important thing and definitely what helped the most. On to the 3:30 next!

[TheRegularRunner]

Making 45 mins of your expertise available to everyone is absolutely amazing. I'm not quite accurate enough at targetting specific zones for a 7 zone system to work form me every day, but when I do get the good days, knowing how to break the 5 zone system down more granularly to get the best benefit is really handy. Thanks Scully 👌

[shenbryl]

This is golden, thank you so much for taking the time.

[CzakoRobert]

Wow great video, I really liked it.
I can’t wait to start the training plan I got from you. I’m still working on getting back into decent shape before starting.

[amedeodionisi]

thank you so much, I wish there were more channel on youtube that don't go for the quick incomplete information but like your doing taking the time to talk about a subject for real.

[flolin]

Thanks for the effort you are putting in to educate us properly.

[mikestevenson]

Fantastic video. Lots of great information. It flew in - definitely shows how engaging it was. Great work, Stephen! =D
