I find 5k difficult to run tactically.
It's knowing when to 'step on the gas' for a PB
Useful stuff James. Thank you. 👍

Any tips on managing colds and the like? I have young children, so any virus going around puts me out of business for weeks. Consistency goes out the window. Nutrition also becomes a challenge (I keep gaining weight because my nutrition is geared for fueling all those cancelled training sessions). It's been a challenge for years now. And I'm sure I'm not the only one facing this issue.

I recently just started listening to podcasts, but a huge help with slower running has been having a metronome in the background. For me personally a 168 bpm keeps me around a 9:55 pace without thinking about it.

Hi.
I saw your video from last year where you were aiming to run a sub-3 marathon in 2023. Is that going to happen? Where is your training up to?
I looked for any update video but it seem that all you videos are just giving advice on how to run better but never actually showing us whether it’s working for you?
What is your current marathon time? Have you done any actual races such as HM in the last year? Any marathons?

Slow running really works, but you have to leave your ego at the door; it feels unnatural to start with and, for me, the first few weeks were run/walk. After a break from running I started again in January and did my first MAF test to set a benchmark. Last week I did my 3rd MAF test and completed the 8km in 55m 56s, 4mins faster than in January. After my first MAF test I timed a fast 1km to see what I could do and it was a disappointing 5m 5sec, but after my 3rd MAF test I did it in 4m 14s. At 59, I didn't expect to see quick improvements, but keeping a log of some test runs is proving how effective this is. I do throw in one tempo or intervals run each week, and finish each run with some strides.

Okay serious question everyone talks about running slow to get fast but what HR is considered slow, my 136 HR if you follow the MAF method is faster than some marathon pace.

Unfortunately when I run slower than usual I end up scuffing the ground. Any advice? Thanks
