i love your music at the beginning. i don't know why. but i love it

"50 decades ago" lol they were teenagers in the 16th century. "VO2maxProductions presents: Training tips for vampires"

Hey Sage, great advice as ever. I've an idea for a video. "Dealing with disappointment". Last weekend I completed my first ever marathon. It was a trail marathon here in the UK with a load of elevation and it was brutal. I completed the course in good shape, but wasn't super happy with my time. I'm not suffering a little from post-marathon blues after so much anticipation and preparation for my race. Obviously you're super successful, but you've have had a couple of disappointments this year. How do YOU go about picking yourself up and focussing on the next challenge? Thanks and keep up the great work.

great to hear your knee's getting better. Thanks for all the insightful and inspirational videos.

3:17 damn 40/50 decades old, thats like 400/500 years :) haha thanks sage

Glad the knee is doing better. I really missed the training talks so thanks for putting them out there.

Have been running a few months and just completed my first 10k and this video and tips is really helpful! Thanks for sharing them

Thanks Sage, good information. Glad you're recovery is going well.

Hi Sage. Thanks for another great video. I love how you put yourself out there and the way you get your point across in a no nonsense manner. How about doing a future training talk video on power hiking (unless you've done it already)? I've heard you mention it a few times and would be keen to know when you use it and the proper technique. Keep up the good work. Thanks. Glen.

Great video and glad to hear that you're back at it.

Based on your plug for Hoka shoes, I bit the bullet and bought a pair of Hoka infinites from runningwarehouse and for the first time in my life, I actually am enjoying running and getting better everyday. This is no joke. These are miracle shoes. Gracias!

Just a fantastic and helpful video thanks! I'll have to hunt round for your diet advice.

I am happy that I came across your channel.. will spend the next few weeks here :D thank you

Hi Sage, glad to see you're feeling better! Can you make a video giving advise to runners who have hit a 'plateau' in their training. Maybe you could give suggestions on when one should increase or decease speed training; or when one should increase or decrease long run mileage; or, perhaps, when one should consider strength training etc.. Maybe you could also talk about what the progression of what periodization ought to look like -- e.g. base-building phase, followed by speed phase, followed by race pace training... Thanks!

this couldn't have been better timing for me! Sage advice! :)

Thanks for sharing Sage. Cheers...! 🍻

Thanks Sage! Great video 👍

Great tips, attempting my first 10k this year.

Great video! One of the only channels I subscribe to. You make it practical. Did you ever include the links to the places you pointed your finger?

excellent video thanks for the tips!

Hey Sage thanks for all the great videos! I've read your book and looked at your training plan for ultra however the problem i run into is not having enough time to start from scratch before my next race. Can you do a video on how you recover and then start training so quickly before your next race. Thanks!

hi sage just here to say thanks for these vidoes.

Hey Sage, just finished my second 50 miler and I'm really curious to hear your thoughts on combating the stiffness and aching that comes later on in an ultra and any ways you've dealt with that. Thanks for all the great videos!

Great tips! Thanks!!! Your training talks are just great! I have a suggestion for another topic: How about your training plan for the upcoming winter-season? I know you don´t really have an "off-season" but since there are no races and you (even you :-)) can´t run on the egde all year round: What´s your approach to get the most out of the cold time of the year? I´m thinking to focus more on endurance: easy & long runs, long hikes & power-hikes (in snow if possible), less speed/intense workouts. And in addition core training, muscle mobilization, pilates. Would be great if you´d share your thoughts about that. Thanks and have fun running again (and cycling too)! Thumbs up please! :-)

Yes! Love that you are promoting the plant based diet! Best diet on the planet!

Wouldn't mind hearing more about the high carb plant based diet, having just switched to it myself. Also looking at those instagram photos, wouldn't mind forking out some cash on a Sage Running cookbook haha

Thanks!

Thanks for the tips - wonder if runners over 50 yrs of age have any special running strategies to follow - cross training and core exercises as well.....at least they take the monotony out of running when it becomes state/boring.

Perfect opening line ;-)

40 decades or 50 decades ago? So people who were kids 400 to 500 years ago can still sprint pretty fast?

Hi Sage, first of all, get well soon! I see on Strava that you already started to run :-), so, things seem to improve. I wonder, how you check your rest and max heart rate, maybe this might be a good toopic for your training talk.

sage! make another day in the life video!:)

Tips for a college freshman training for his first marathon. I have run 5k, 10k, and half marathon distances for around 3 years now (I have been running cross country and track in high school). The marathon is the RnR San Diego marathon in May 2016. How much time do I need to train? What should my weekly mileage targets be if I'm aiming for a sub 3:30:00 marathon time?

Awesome

You're awesome

Hey Sage! Quick question here: what percentage of the weekly mileage would you recommend for the easy runs? Thanks for the tips!

Good video as usual. Can you talk about shoes for different type of races? Can you run a marathon with flats?

Question regarding "strength bringing out speed": Earlier in the year I ran a 5:49 mile with literally zero aerobic base (10-11min million jog pace)! In December I did ran a 62-63s 400m sprint, which suggests a lot better 800n-mile potential than what I did. In July I saw sense and have been base building properly ever since. My MAF/easy pace is improving nicely, as is my tempo/threshold pace. The thing is, my paces are still weak. My threshold pace is around 7:13/mile now, for reference. I feel like my speed in the shorter distances is never going to be "brought out" until I significantly build my strength further. For example, if I want to break 5 for the mile, then realistically isn't that only ever going to happen once I'm running 6mins/mile at threshold etc.? Even if I did speed/intervals and made my pace at anaerobic / VO2 Max a lot faster than my pace at threshold (which seems to be naturally how things for me), there's only so well I can run at these shorter distances, right? It's funny because now that I'm getting into running, I'm more interested in longer distances and long term base building. I have big plans of building my strength to better levels, where hopefully my relatively better speed can one day be brought out! So I'm mostly among m asking this stuff about short distances out of curiosity! Sorry for long comment.

Good on you Sage, I'm glad to hear that you're on a high carb plant based: It's the way to go. Are you going to make more videos on diet?

What should I eat for my legs to stop hurting every long run

i love to run. its so satisfying to complete running goals, but i do not like the average skinny body type most runners have. im pretty built at 5'5 170lbs. so ive been training to become faster but keep my gains

What is your mindset when running? Any special tips?

sage, what do you think about the maf - method (run at 180 bpm - age - specific subtractions or additions) not only to build an aerobic base, but as a training in general? its proponents claim this is the only way to build your aerobic system and that it will build up your fitness so well that you should not run at a higher intensity.

goods advices : )

Could you do a video about strength and aquatic training? I log about 300 minutes of cross training (lifting, water running, swimming, core, biking, and basketball) per week, is that too much for winter training? I'm training for a track 5K in the spring where I'll be shooting for a sub 15:40 with 30-60 miles per week.

I just ran my first marathon. What are your tips for recovery and how soon to get back into running? Thanks.

I run highschool cross-country🏃🏃😀

Sage, I would love to hear a training talk about cadence. Does it really help running efficiency to hit a higher cadence of 175 to 180 steps per minute? Is it more efficient? What about higher/lower cadence for uphill and downhill?

40 decades (40 x 10=400)

Video on 'what i eat in a day'

3:22 if you were a kid 40 decades ago or 50 decades ago.....🤔....i.e. 1520-1620 maybe running with Shakespeare or Galileo....

would really appreciate some tips on how to break through that 2/2.5 hour running barrier. Thanks

tips tips tips please regarding IT band pain and avoidance and recovery please please please!!!! any more tips other than foam roll

What are your thoughts on the FIRST "run less, run faster" method?

This made me feel like a sprinter😂 I run the 800m in track and I always called myself a distance runner

I remember it like is was 40 decades ago(stuff a vampire says)

training talk on your new toy (allez) plus vid

I understand that 180 spm is an ideal cadence but when should I factor in increasing my stride rate into my training? I am returning from injury (sacroiliac joint and strained adductors) and am building up my mileage very slowly. Should I do it from the get go or should I wait until I am running more consistently? Thanks for your time.

Do you have any tips to gain muscular weight while still running because I'm only like 85-95 pounds at 5' 5"

I'm 10 and I'm more of a sprinter and I will get out of breath easily so if I'm chasing you your lucky cuz I'm fast but I will run out of breath too much 😧

A bit late, but I'm a high school cross country runner and I want to improve my three mile time. The thing is I can do a marathon in under 3.5 hours without stopping at all, so I have some endurance and I can run a sub 1 minute 400m, but I can't seem to translate that into a great 3 mile/5k time and what I'm shooting for is 16:30 to 17 flat. Any tips to close the gap? @vo2maxproductions

My problem with this is that elite runners have 10.x or 11.x 100m sprint speed. You can't tell me that they achieve that type of speed without sprint training. Running distance and putting in a lot of miles is great, but if your max 100m speed is only 13 seconds you're never going to be able to string together a great mile time unless you're at 90% max speed the entire race, which is obviously impossible.

This advise goes to above FAV....I think a FAV FAV....even without the taste of the brew. lol

tips for older runners 50 plus

since going vegan, definitely noticed i've got leaner, lighter and faster. also, seem to recover better from long runs

Agree with the diet! High carb,low fat,low protein (80/10/10) works great for athletes.

links?

Hey sage what is your opinion on chia seeds since you are vegan? I've read they have a good source of Omega-3 and can help runners recover faster due to its anti inflammatory properties.

How are what is the best way to get down from 2.56 marathon to 2.45 iam 47 years old not 27 haha

I'm 13 and I run a 5:50 mile and a 20:41 5k, but if I ever run more than 20 miles a week I get injured easily. How can I up my mileage without hurting myself?

I was a kid 50 decades ago ;p

I think the guy might know what he is talking about. However I do not like the terminology he uses. Arthur Lydiard indicates that you must first train the legs before you put in hard interval training. You should do speed development all year long. I doubt that Sage knows that. Speed Development is 6 X 60, short hills, or bounding ONE day per week. In anything you do you should build it up gradually. A long run should begin at your longes run recently. If your long run in the last month is 5 miles, then that is where you start. But you want to get that run up to 15-22 miles depending on your age. I don't think you want to do a 22 mile run at age 16!Then when you the 60s, 70s, or 80s you can start with 4 X 60 at 75%, 80%, 85%, and90%. Later you might be able to do 6 X 80 at 80%, 85%, 90%, 95%. Be careful when you introduce ANYTHING.You can run 20 miles but you take a step backwards if you overdo something. It does not work to go out into the forest and do squats with 225 pounds all day! Ask Arnold Schwartzeneggar. He actually tried that. It does not make you better.The same is true of any other training you do.Then 10 weeks out from your peak race you begin interval training and you build the volume up for 6 weeks. With 4 weeks before the peak race you begin cutting down.A 5K is 85% aerobic. Lydiard claimed that you did not need to count number, or time the repeats. You do not have to do 10 X 400 in 65, or 5 X 800 in 2:00!

I miss the old intros where you would play songs like Nirvana and Vance Joy

I know all about not staying healthy and having all progress destroyed by stupid injuries

Done today 1 km at school in the time of 4:30 minutes is it too much or a standard time?

The word you were looking for was stamina...

Not certain about the points made but ,if anyone else is searching for best marathon training try Niposcu Complete Running Adviser (just google it ) ? Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my brother in law got great success with it.

I think you don't win much, I sit on a couch smoke and I recon I could prove all your training wrong. to be a runner you have to have a hunter mindset running is a mental game and you have to out smarten runners like you keep running man see you onj top soon

When you are preparing to run a marathon for the very first time, you should attempt this marathon training program “Zοrοtοn Axy” (Google it). The book is full of good advice, ideas from those who have run one before, what to do as well as what NOT to do, and also training daily schedules. Strongly suggest it. .

Drink lot's of water!

"Strength is speed," he says. Be careful. This is a loaded remark.What is strength? If it is endurance...then that remark is false! Endurance does not necessarily make you faster. Running slow all the time, just makes you able to run slow for a long time!How ever it is true that you work on all three systems when you run. It has been shown that if the run is long enough it will develop speed. However one must do speed development ONE day per week or you will lose speed.10 X 200 in 27 is not speed development! Look up Arthur Lydiard and find out what he has to say about SPEED development.

PLEASE stop telling ,empepoples names!

Good for you, but please slightly change the title of your video. I was looking for 10K resolution video, and found this in the first 10 or so results. This video doesn't have 10k resolution. You're talking about running 5 or 10 kilometers. 5km, 10km; not just 5k, 10k. 5k is just 5 kilo, which if anything refers to 5 kilograms.

go vegan for speed and health compassion and ecology

great to hear your knee's getting better. Thanks for all the insightful and inspirational videos.

Great video! One of the only channels I subscribe to. You make it practical. Did you ever include the links to the places you pointed your finger?
