great video! might have to take a look at one of those books.
Great tips! I heard about the Buffalo book before, I should read it then! I have a question on training load. I like 5K parkruns and they are always on a Saturday. And Sunday is my day for the longrun, which when training for the marathon may be at steady pace or have some blocks of marathon pace. I wonder if it is fine to do both in the same weekend, when doing the 5K at 95%? It would be really helpful to know how you think about this from your own your experience.
A lot of good tips there. Feel like slowing down is the hardest one, especially when you’re new and easy runs are really slow.
Haven’t tried any running books but YouTube is a big source of inspiration for me. The likes of The Distance Project, Stephen Scullion & yourself always motivate me to get out there.
Those More Mile socks are like the Terminator of socks. Amazing durability. I like Hilly socks for race day but they normally get holes on the big toe after 6 months or so. Good tips, enjoyed the video 👍
Some really good tips there. One thing I started doing a while ago is applying vapour rub to my toes as it seems to do a good job keeping blisters away. Getting last years shoes on discount is probably the ultimate tip though, there's some bargains about if you're prepared to shop around.
Good video 🙂 Those running belts looks good combined with a soft flask for marathon. I have also been looking at handheld softflask like "floberg runs" uses, and then maybe ditch it after a while if the race is local so I can pick it up later. Just looks like a better way to have carbs instead of those hard to swallow Maurten gels. Probably need both, but dont want to many gels. Any thoughts on that?
Great informative video. Enjoying watching your running journey. Font romeu looks amazing! Keep up the good work 👍
Great video as always Ryan! Very informative for amateurs such as myself
I love your videos and you're a big inspiration to me. I hope your channel takes off.
Great tips
Thanks for this
Hey Ryan. I dont have any instagram account but would like to get in touch with you to talk about coaching. Do you have an email i can contact you on? I just ran a 1:32 HM and my next goal is to crush sub 3 in Copenhagen in May 2025. I recently found your channel and like your training philosophy. /🇸🇪🇸🇪
Great video with great, actual tips. Really liked that you started off with consistency and slowing down. Not like other videos on here claiming ‘quick hacks’ to improve. No matter what it’s going to take consistency over time and learning to control paces to improve!
Good video. On HR when running vs biking, I find HR on bike is about 10bpm lower for same effort level. Looking at forums, seems like people get similar result but the difference might be a little either side of 10bpm, varies by athlete. Might be useful if you're coaching someone who needs to cross train and they're doing intervals etc
What do you do for a job alongside your running?
Good tips. Enjoying your videos.
No Jack Daniels’ Running Formula??
great video thanks. Have you got a recommendation for headphones – particularly ones that stay in while running? cheers
Great video. Thanks for the tips. I cant seem to catch a break running without injury. I really need to up my strength training to support my legs. 20 mins a day in the house seems more than achievable!
