THE MITOCHONDRIA IS THE POWER HOUSE OF THE CELL

I support this message: a combination of easy runs and tempo workouts allowed me to break the 4:00 marathon mark - two months before turning 60.

The big problem for non professional runners is, that these slow runs not only feel slow… they are rly slow! Most of the people get bored if they run this slow for about an hour… I think it’s more kinda mental to get used to it and remember, that it actual helps to get u faster in the end

My weekly run schedule : Sunday Long run between 15-20 miles Monday Easy 13k Tuesday Running club, could be Hill repeats/threshold or tempo around 10k-15k Wednesday Easy 13k Thursday Club track something like 16 x 400m or 8 x 800m etc Friday Easy 5k Saturday Parkrun usually tempo pace. Incl' warm up & cool down about 13k I also do two gym sessions , three core workouts & two plyometric sessions per week I have built up to this weekly schedule over many years . This schedule ( with some small tweaks ) keeps me In shape for any race from 5k to a half marathon I am very rarely Injured

Great insights. I actually quite enjoy the Tempo Runs - it pushes you hard, but it doesn't destroy you. Well put up as describing it a running unconfortably for the longest time possible.

Thank you for this, I wish this was up two years ago. I have restarted my marathon training plan and feel like there is a purpose for slower runs now, not just for recovery. I am loving them since watching this last week

Spectacular, thank you James for this huge help. Exactly what novice runners like me need to hear, and I look forward to implementing.

Bravo! This is one of the best endurance athlete training videos I've ever seen. It all fits with the latest science and is presented clearly and concisely. Great job!

Great video. I wish I knew this years ago when every run turned into a progression run and resulted in frequently getting injured. I now keep my easy runs really easy and can run much more often.

Great video James. My biggest struggle with the amount of easy running that I do is boredom. But when I do my 1 or 2 hard sessions each week, I know about it!

Tempo runs are where you’re body can just barely clear the lactic acid (such as 10k pace for 60 mins like you suggested), while Threshold runs you cannot clear the lactic acid and would need to take breaks (such as interval training 4x800 metres all out pace with 60 second recovery) Both are very different and are a staple of elite long distance runners.

Really needed to here this! Thanks a lot, you articulated everything so well. subscribed!

Great video. So much to absorb here; I already watched it twice.

Thank you for the great content James!

Love this video - thanks for making it!

Thank you for this video! I have my first Marathon coming up and I’m planning my long run in a few days. I was initially going for something close to the race distance (26.2), but looks like 20-23 would be more advisable

Thank you ever so much for the amazing educative video! I love that you bring all the physiology behind it, as it helps us understand and make meaning of it all 🙏🏽 Thank you so much. Wonderful job 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Great video, James!

Excellent video Thoroughly enjoyed it 👍🏻
