    Do you enjoy long runs or do you prefer short and sweet? 🏃
  • @bennymud
    I started doing heart rate running at the start of March after some advice from my brother who just finished 4x4x48 (man man) at the start i just ran for 30 mins and to run in the blue zone i was walking most of the time! i was running at about 4 km / hour pace (very slow i know) but im now running 8.5km / hour very comfortably and i can run for couple of hours with no fatigue at all! i'm fully behind this way of training and wish i had got his advice about 8-10 years ago! i love long runs :)

    After 17 years of smoking cigarettes, iam now clean for 5 years, view days ago i did my first untrained wings for life run in vienna. A friend of mine said to me: hey lets go, lets do this run and i said, hmm you know what, lets do this xD i managed to run a little bit over 8km but it was very, very exhausting but now iam hooked xD i watched a view videos now and i didnt know that runing can be so confusing, there is so much info about runing, actually way too much for me to understand xD for the next view weeks, iam just gonna go out, have some fun doing my runs and try to track them a little bit to see my progression, later on iam gonna go and look into programms but for now i try to go runing 3 times a week, iam not sure if this is the right way but i think, fun is the most important part, the rest will come on its own^^ thanks for all your videos on your channel, iam sure they gonna help me on my journey!

    I did my first “block training “ today. I’m hoping to do well in my first triathlon in July so I used my commute home from work on my bike to ready me for a run right when I got home. I changed shoes and hit the pavement. About 22 mins in I started thinking to myself “why am I doing this?” That thought didn’t last long but for a second there I had some doubt in myself. Pushing through what is uncomfortable is an accomplishment in itself sometimes.
  • @alexm1841
    Yes, strength training! Plyos! I love jumping rope too every other day for 5-10 minutes
  • @larrylem3582
    1:25 - Zone 2 (endurance) per Garmin, Polar, Whoop is 60-70% of max HR. Zone 3 (aerobic capacity) is 70-80% of max HR. Do you want us to train for long runs by zone or by % of max HR?
  • Simple = Hill training and or Jump rope those two things will anyone in shape with consistency.
  • For running, my issue is not the heart. It is my knees, left labrum, and left SI joint screeming at me. Barely get my heart moving before my body breaks down. Time to take some time off and get all that fixed I guess! Haha
  • @alexm1841
    I thought I was running in zone 2 or below but then I bought a heart rate monitor and realized I can comfortably hold a conversation while in zone 3 or 85% of MHR. I’m wondering if I need to customize my heart rate zones. Maybe do a max heart rate test or something similar
