Man easy days are hard..

U r actually right - it’s harder to do easy runs and recovery runs … I struggle a fair bit with those lol - sometimes I just end up pushing myself stupidly when I shud be letting the body ease into it

@davidporter2828 Жыл бұрын

Great advice, thanks Stephen. As an ageing athlete, I would add that an easy recovery day, might just be one run too many! A complete rest day, or some gentle swimming or walking for 'active' recovery might be better than easy running. I'm 61 for reference 😃😃

So much smart advice, Stephen! I'm just after my easy run last Saturday. I felt slow and even told my coach I'm too slow. Now I know I was wrong! Watching your videos every single day (from your hometown, BTW).

@roughrover_l3226 Жыл бұрын

enjoy your videos Stephen, one question. It seems to be that the limiting factor for a runner in terms of training volume is "loading hours" i.e you just can't do the same volume as a low impact endurance sport such as a cyclist or cross country skiing where they can regularly do 25-30 hours a week in terms of training volume. If the purpose of an easy run is just to recover then would it not be prudent to use an alternative way of getting the blood flowing to aid recovery such as a a static bike or cross trainer that does not eat into your "loading hours" and could these hours not be put to better use as they are so precious? Just my observations as a professional cycling coach who is new to running (but really enjoying it!) Many thanks Paul :)

Today I did your planned (week6) Monday easy run with the 8x100m hills in the middle. Really tried to hold back before and after, certainly stopped the easy becoming steady. I ran to stryd power, set up a workout pushed to the water and it was bitchin' at me if I went too hard. worked felt great bridges the gap between sunday long run and Tues session

Very helpful with lots of golden nuggets of wisdom throughout. In addition to easy days, should runners in training schedule an easy week periodically? How often? I’m new to training and don’t have enough experience to “listen to my body” reliably. Many thanks.

@MattShubert Жыл бұрын

Great vid again, you're really pumping these out! Cheers Scully. One question I had about easy recovery runs - do you give much focus to running economy during these? I've been trying to improve my cadence and form on steady runs and sessions and finding some success doing so, but I find it hardest to keep these fundamentals solid on recovery runs as trying to get my feet picked up and my cadence higher naturally results in me going faster than I think I should for recovery jogs. Am I overthinking and should just let my legs do what they want during recovery efforts?

Yo Ste just had my first run not long ago it's crazy how much fitness you lose over a short time haha but time to my own journey of 2023 running xD 2bh tho i find them 1st few grindes the best cuz i always see the biggest difference when starting out in fitness lol and feeling better and lighter within yourself from day to day anyways my question is what are trail shoes like and are they worth it? I mainly road run time to time i'll cut through the woods and have a nice stroll past the windmill and stuff but i just use my normal running shoes for such and never ran in trail shoes so.. are they worth it? I was looking at snowdonia half marathon this year in May time and figured 3 months is plenty of time to run a half as i ran my last 1 from 7weeks of training but with you being a runner have you ever ran snowdonia and if so i've heard it's more of a trail course? If this is the case should i run it in trail shoes or will i get away with my normal adidas running shoes? Thanks if you get back to me Ste 😎

What about cycling as a recovery. (No impact)? I even like a 45 easy ride with 30 easy run as a recovery after a hard session.

As someone who loves the cool jargon of those from across the pond I have to ask about the difference between “knackered and niggled”. Like both phrases. Are they interchangeable? Did intervals yesterday and my legs are knackered too.

Knackered means tired and niggles are little injuries like if you have a sore knee after a run

How do you tell your easy run pace? I’m 4 weeks into training for Paris in April and obviously feeling fitter, should I be increasing my easy run pace to match my fitness level?
