Guilty of a lot of these things lately. Been contending with a lot of tough training conditions (heat, wildfire smoke), dog attacks, and other stressors reducing my training load and then training too hard to make up for it. I had been training for a specific race but now running a completely different one due to a family medical emergency. Still hoping for a PR but realizing I just need to let go of the sub 1:28 half marathon goal which is clearly outside my capabilities given my latest training efforts.

Hey Tyler, we've all been there. Good to catch yourself early. Hope all is well with the family.

Love your videos, they're a perfect mix of technicals and numbers, but also easy to remember wisdom and bigger picture advice.

Great video. Going into low to mid Zone 4 is 1 of the biggest dramas many budding marathoners experience. Running above 95% of lt2 in the 1st 15km pretty much guaranteed disaster 😊. Ps well done on the epic 2:37.

This makes a lot of sense to me and it's great content condensed in just 7 minutes. I was guilty of being fixated on an arbitrary number in my early attempts to break 3:30. I stuck to sub 5 min/km pace ignoring the conditions. It was warmer than what I had trained in. My HR was at half marathon level at halfway so there was no way I could hold that for another half. I didn't crash as badly as I could have, finished in 3:36 with a 1:45-1:51 half-half split. Still, the second half sucked and I had to walk the smallest inclines because my calves were cramping. Running slightly negative splits gives you a much better race experience, the process is a lot more enjoyable. So yes, focusing on the process and not the outcome is key. I'll pass that message on to my runners.

I recently used these videos to get my PR is the 5km. I somehow got 18:48 with 5 months of training. I would love more 5km content Dr.

Thats why some people should throw away their gps watch and put on a normal watch and just go run for time . They'll soon learn to pace their long run right .

I really needed to hear this. I finished a long run workout yesterday and came away knowing I pushed too hard on the 20min block. I focussed on pace. I didn’t have it in the legs that day, so basically thrashed out 3 blocks of 20minute threshold. I see now what you mean about ignoring the aim of the session. What % of max hr would you aim to keep your HR in for marathon effort?
