Really intrigued by your comment that we need many gears for ultra. I’ve been running trails for a couple decades, and really only had two gears. Walk or Run (and it’s a low and slow run pace). I’ve been following the Relentless Forward Progress training plans as well and they seem to work okay, but I think I’ll incorporate the development of some other gears, like you suggest. Thanks for the content!

@WayneR.1956 2 жыл бұрын

I always enjoy and learn from your videos. Thank you for taking the time to spread the word. I have a question about using reserve heart rate zones. I have a fairly low RHR, and using reserve adds another 15+ bpm. When doing an easy run, for example, that puts me well into the traditional zone 3 rather than zone 2 (using the 5 zones split). I don't want to be in that "dreaded Zone 3 Hole"! Thoughts? Thanks again!

@BornToRunCoach 2 жыл бұрын

I use 8 HR zones so probably cant speak to the "traditional" zone 3. But I know what you are asking and think staying away from then dreaded zone 3 is BS in a lot of cases, especially when it comes to the specific training phase of the year and then climbing like I mention here. I think the key is to understand what your true threshold is and manipulate training to increase aerobic efficiency, strength and speed....and bring it together at the end based on race style and distance.

@BornToRunCoach 2 жыл бұрын

"Zone 3" is a very important energy system for ultra runners because for a lot of race distances and terrain, it is race effort, so it cant be ignored. But I do think it should be used strategically, with purpose.

@WayneR.1956 2 жыл бұрын

Do I choose moderate hills or steep hills for hill repeats? Also am I looking for smooth terrain or should I do the hill repeats on the same technical hills I’ll be racing?

Great video as always Eric. I have a quick question. After recovering from an injury is it sensible or advisable to do more than 1 hill session a week to help build strength?

@BornToRunCoach 2 жыл бұрын

Not knowing the injury, I would definitely ease into things. Maybe do 3-4 weeks of easy endurance building runs first to get your body consistent and then infuse some hill workouts.

@Hillrunner50 2 жыл бұрын

Your last two videos have been enlightening. Though I successfully completed my 50 and 100 mi races this year, I found that I trained too slow and thus ran too slow. Now I’m 8 weeks post 100 and feel recovered, but I won’t start training for 2022 goals until Jan. Do you advocate that I still include some shorter hard training, like 30 sec hill repeats, while I’m just chilling out from high miles for a few months?

@BornToRunCoach 2 жыл бұрын

I think you could start doing some shorter hills now. 8 weeks is good recovery and this new approach might give you some enthusiasm of something different and new to focus on right now. I would also start doing some of the drills, see link in description, to help with all things strength leading into Jan.

You know, I REALLY appreciated that video. It made me think about the 180-age number a lot and how for many people it may be too low (for me it’s actually a bit high for day to day…I train under on easy days). So when people post about struggling with the number I steer them toward considering doing a field test to determine max heart rate and establish training zones. For many people I think that’s a much better approach. So in a way….yes 😎

@robertburpee9473 2 жыл бұрын

As always I love the content, learning's and the message. I have a question that is a little off the topic of this episode, hope you don't mind. I have not run for just over 2 weeks as I fell of the kitchen bench while painting. A drop sheet I had over the counter and sink to protect it from paint drips caused me to loose my footing when I stepped on the edge of the stainless steel sink. I fell landing not on my back or my hip but on a 45 deg collecting the ladder next to it on the way down. I have not broken anything just grazed my side and have a bruised left glute. For the first few days after I could not lay on that side and had pain when walking on any incline, I'm well on the improve now but I do get stiff in the left glute and hamstring if I sit for too long. My question, finally your saying Lol, I was wondering (no worrying) how long does it take before you start to loose fitness, I always thought it was about 2 weeks but I've read that it takes between 21-28 days depending on your fitness level and age and I'd be grateful for your thoughts. I am assessing how I feel everyday but I'll probably take another 5-7 days off before I start running again. Thanks again for everything

@BornToRunCoach 2 жыл бұрын

My answer would be that it really doesnt matter, as you should do what you need to to recover. And then get back at it. Once you get consistent again it will be like it never happened. See it as an opportunity to come back stronger and take your fitness to another level.

I have been using this time to hone my visualisation skills. Everyday at the time I would normally be running I calm my mind & visualise myself out on a run being as detailed as I can. Each day I’ve tried to add a bit more detail & focus & I’m finding that my mind is wandering less and less. 🏃‍♂️💪
