I’m think it’s because I’m 270lbs😅 Used to be 340 though so I’m getting better and faster every day…

I'm getting back into running and your videos helped me remember the important aspects of running. Not so much of trying to run fast but including the fuel and running slow. At 70, I feel I still have it and it is encouraging that there is still hope for me. I 'm typically running 6 days at an easier pace to build strength. As I progress I will include my speed work. I get at least 8-9 hours of sleep and I am eating clean both prior, and after my runs. Thanks for the information and glad I found your channel.

Menopause, night sweats....not conducive to someone who already struggles with staying asleep. No matter how soon I cutoff caffiene or stop drinking fluids. After a certain point I'm awake, my mind is racing with random thoughts and it takes an hour or more to get back to sleep! Just to sleep more than 3 hours in a row would be heaven!

Excellent advice. I am terrible with late sleeping & late eating despite knowing how much better I felt before doing the opposite. This has reignited my drive:-).

Myself, I lived ~exactly what these guys are describing in the 90s and they are ~100 correct in my running during these days without the net and all this ~instant feedback. In a nutshell, I trained too hard everyday, not realizing that my ~recovery run was actually hard; meaning my heart rate for by recovery day was too high and I did not recover any. -- On a recovery day, EVEN IF YOU HAVE TO WALK, keep you HR at the correct rate for your body to actually recover or you will not make any gains plus risk injury.

best all around content i can find - gives me lots of confidence in it being delivered by sports scientists directly, not by (sub) elite runners who are sharing what they've heard. From the horses mouth is where its at :) love your work team

Thank you for all the great info. I was listening while I was running and it was giving me great insight. Have a 7 mile run coming up trying to get ready for it.
