Strangely, all of the online advice is so focused on slow zone 2 running which obviously is still good. But as SOON as I encorporated intense Vo2 max sessions once a week, my zone 2 runs became easier and at lower heart rates almost immediately. I saw a bigger benefit personally from Vo2 max sessions compared to constant zone 2 runs.

It's so reassuring to know that even Olympians feel nervous before this kind of session. I thought it was only me being a scared kitten. Thank you 🙏

Happy Paddy's day Mr Scullion

The intro to this one is 🔥🔥🔥

I did zone 2 over the winter and noticed very small improvement, I found it difficult to even run at all in the HR zone, until I dropped them and did only intervals or long runs for over a month, imo zone 2 is a good way to increase volume without the need for extra recovery, but it's certainly not needed for improvement,

Powerful INTRODUCTION. Thanks Stephen for setting the tone for your video.
-
This is great, thank you for the extraordinary content as always. Keep on keeping on.
-
Loved the intro. And the video and info too. Great advice and has helped calm me a bit for my own upcoming race later this year 🙏
-
Another great vid! As a late 50's Masters runner I make sure I get in a VO2max session in every 10 day block from a "use it, or lose it" perspective as it is very easy lose but hard to get back as you age.
-
Thank you. The introduction was just what I needed today! Keep pushing!
-
Great video. I love how you explained everything so clearly. The what and why of the session and how it fits into your overall training block. Awesome to meet you out in Portugal and I am looking forward to following along as your fitness continues to build.

Happy paddy’s day! There is direct correlation between vo2max and longevity. So it’s important for everyone.

Keep up the good work!!

Great Stuff and Very Good Explanations!
-
Man, thanks for a very uplifting introduction
-
Great tips thanks! in my opinion vo2max and speed training in general are crucial, very important for runners especially recreational , amateur ones who like me do not have time or the will power to train 10-15 hours per week and cannot afford to put on long miles per week.. so i always make sure to have at least a speed session per week ,even if i just run for 20 kms in total... and at least a vo2max session per month, ideally once every 10 days would be perfect.

Thank you, that cleared some points of me 🙏
