Such great info. Years ago I did a 5K nearly every weekend. I was new to road running and addicted to the competition part of it. Now I am returning to running after 10 years away. So this is helpful to not fall in that competitive trap again. My hamster always lets loose. 😁

Wow I wished I had this earlier. Hit such a brick wall this past weekend in the Two Oceans as I've done 2 half marathons in the last 2 months. Clearly didn't recovery properly. Just thought I had done enough training and it would be fine. Thanks for a great video as always

It's all about knowing your goals. I complete 100 miles every 4-8 weeks with decent finish time (often sub24). My goals are #1 stay injury-free #2 having fun. Performance is not on the list, so I can crank up number of races by dialing down speed, yet be sustainable. I could likely improve time by 30-60 min by racing less, but couldn't care less. But totally agree that you have to identify and limit number of prime races per season if you are pushing for speed. Everyone is different I suppose, but I totally disagree that marathon and ultras are in the same category regarding damage. I don't know anyone who can sustainably complete 100 miles every week, regardless of pace. Marathon damage is all about pace - a lot of folks can run 1+ a week

Really enjoyed this video. It is often tricky to make a decision as to which race to race with so many variables that constantly present themselves. I find having a main goal race and committing to little events on the way takes away a lot of stress while still keeping you in the right frame of mind because there are small achievements. Thank you for your videos and articles. Maya

Although recovery is generally important, the time to recover is very personal. There are many factors that will dictate the speed and length of recovery, pre-, race and post-race nutrition being one of the most important factors. I have raced some of my best multi-sport races (70.3 triathlon/middle distance duathlon) a week after running a marathon. Might I have been even better if I would have had a longer recovery time in between? Maybe - but I do think generated some level of super-compensation, so that worked for me.

Not sure how it’s done in other countries, but in the US, we run middle schoolers between 10-12 races in the span of 8-12 weeks. We run high schoolers 12-15 races in 12-14 weeks. College is racing almost every weekend. So we bring up kids from youth running on up, teaching them that it’s ok to race them like a bunch of thoroughbreds every weekend (or more) and then we get surprised that there’s lots of injuries and/or mental burnout to the point that people walk away from running never to come back. It makes no sense. Sure, good coaches will manage this well, but there’s a lot more that just go-go-go. We are teaching it wrong from an early age, and it’s baked into “the system”. Why?

Very useful and exactly the type of information I needed as a new covid runner at over 50(but decently fit tennis player). Obviously, living in Canada, I have to factor in an off-season (4cm of fresh snow yesterday, all gone for my run today: yeah) which is limited to cross-country skiing and indoor cycling. I might definitely run a few 5k parkruns before I race my first parkrun this year (completed 2 5k TT in 2020, one 5k and one 10k TT in 2021 as events where still prohibited here but Garmin plans where a great help for the old newbe) and I might look into running some as part of the following 10k plan (if I do one, I would prefer to train very short distance for power and speed, but no help from Garmin there)

I have been looking for advices like this for 6months now. Glad to have found your video. I would always wonder how often to run 5k and 10k as I see many youtubers or elites running them 2-3 times in successive weeks. It probably was after their 8-10 weeks of proper training that they are able to maintain the fitness in those races. Thanks for the incredible knowledge.

Same problem end of last year, as I was going to a 5k PB with a plan, running 4 times a week, while also hitting tennis practice 3 times a week, which adds up to a nice 7 per week and leaves enough time for a couple of doubles-matches per week. What could possibly go wrong at over 50 when doing that ;-) ? A good physio, some rest and I am, luckily, back at it.

Re marathons and halves... I was planning to run (not race) a marathon in mid-October, easy pace to pace my wife, who is running her first. I have in mind that it's an extended 20-miler en route to the marathon I want to race in mid-December. I was also thinking to do a half in a kind of tempo pace a few weeks before the second marathon as the last run before I taper. Is this reasonable or would you caution against it? If you don't like it, how long would you suggest I take between the casual marathon and the one where I'd be trying for a PB?

Okay now I have a serious question... You said your training schedule tells you x y and z. How do you create a training schedule when you are new 2 running? Is it something that a watched us for you or is it something that you physically write down to do? I cannot run past a mile oh, I should say I cannot run walk past a mile right now and it's been about a month-and-a-half a building up to that. What do I do to make me go further?

I tell people to build frequency first, then build distance. How often are you running per week? If you are going 1 mile for 3 days per week, I’d dial back the distance to only 1/2 mile but do it 5 days per week….then extend to 6, then extend to 7 days per week, all at whatever you consider “easy” pace. Once you build that frequency, start dropping down the number of days but increase the distance. You are doing the right thing….slowly building. Do what you can and don’t injure yourself on the way to the increases.

Hey T and Z, great question. A great starting point would be this video kzitem.info/news/bejne/0qSI3WSYoHeLZoY We wouldn’t advise running every day. One of the biggest misconceptions out there is we get stronger/fitter/faster while we are doing the workout. That is not true. We get the benefit of that workout when we recover from it. If you’re running 6 or 7 days a week, you’re not giving your body enough time to recover. We go into that, and more, in a lot more detail on the above video.

@@TandZAptLife Because your mileage is low right now, you aren’t really stressing your body to a point that it can’t recover--that’s a good thing! When you build in the habit of going out every day and doing something small, you’ll eventually get to the point where you need to have rest/recover days as Coach Parry says. But for now, just build that frequency, take the long view of where you want to be in 6 months, and build it like an investment--slow, steady, consistent, and solid. After you have decreased your days and increased your distance for several weeks, you can then start increasing your speed and dialing back the a distance for one day a week. In the meantime, you are doing the right thing by just getting out there and going after it. Don’t let anyone stop you, including yourself!

Yes and no, 1, Recovery can mean staying at home doing nothing at all. 2, Can also mean at home with stretching, or yoga. 3, Can mean the above and also can just go for a walk. 4, It can mean that you go for a "recovery run", which can be a run which is lighter in comparison to a hard run. 😁😁💜🙏🏼
