😂😂😂😂😂 Ben is running

Brilliant!! Love that session (6 x 2Km). Motivation for my big workout on Monday 👍.

The trail runs have proven to be so important for my builds. As a dad to a toddler who also started a new business with my wife two years ago, time is a big variable for me. Strength training used to keep me niggle free but I just can’t program as much as I used to - trail running is the perfect “Diet Coke” strength and conditioning for me. I transitioned (over 18 months) to barefoot shoes on the trails which add many more layers of benefit.

Loved the format of this episode! It’s been fun seeing the editing evolve since you started the channel. I love raw footage but I enjoyed the voiceovers with it. I constantly feel like I’m learning from these while I still like watching like a documentary for entertainment. You’re going to have a great race at Berlin!

Trails are a godsend, I run an 8 day cycle 6 day’s running 2 days recovery and I’ll hit the road for my intervals and long run, the other 4 runs are done on trails, 3 will be relatively flat and 1 is steep, this steep trail run is left till day 8 and is followed by a recovery day, great strength workout.

the Ben is Running bit had me laughing lol

Nice one @benisrunning - good to see you colab

Having Viva La Vida play right before the long run is an iconic move!

that sounds like an interesting workout i think i'll try it too

The run out in the forest looked 👌👌

👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 fantastico

Nice set. Will try that. I use track for typical 800s , 1k reps type above threshold....but i think this marathon type of running on outside of track and do the marathon once efforts (3k, 5k reps type of thing...but will use this 2k also now with that type of recovery). Track allows for that pace setting, rhythm. Good for city marathons like Berlin, valencia...

the ben is running part was genuinely really funny lol

I know you kind of train on the fly but have key stuff you want to get done. What are those key sets per week you would like to get done? What would be a good week? Like do you get a: - key set 1 track day in (e.g. 1k reps). - key set 2 A marathin pace efffort day (e.g. your 2k set in video), - key set 3 speed or something spicey day in, like speed or 8x 600 hill reps). Key 4 - Long run day (but youbdo these upper aerobic, tough enough). Rest days are easy.

Do you think it is worth getting a lactic acid test kit if you are a slower runner? or is relying on heart rate more suited for those of us far from sub-elite?

Anyone who can run a session in a t shirt is a beast.

FYI - Not very smart idea to mix Threshold with Vo2max in the beginning period of preparation… start with just 1 threshold session per week, adapt, then add 2nd workout, adapt then do mixed session with Vo2max, that would be smart way to do it.

Why not to use the HR monitor?

Fake Ben is Running! Or body double?

😂😂

you need to get a new barber; that fade is crooked 0:14

Training trails for a marathon is a baad idea. I broke my foot doing that! Don't do it!
