You're so welcome - appreciate you being here!

Gosh it sure is...definitely gotta be holding tight to that "why" on those days!!

I typically do around 20-25% for my athletes, but sometimes more is necessary. Especially if they are touching higher volumes for the first time.

Definitely agree! We put so much pressure on ourselves sometimes and it's really not helpful. Being realistic and managing expectations is often important, but I also don't think we give ourselves enough credit!

I'm so glad you found it helpful for where you're at in your journey!! Don't be hard on yourself and be proud of what you're accomplishing!

You're so welcome!

Awesome!! Summer is a perfect time for working on shorter distance speed. Yay for getting ready for your next marathon! Which one are you running?

@@runningwithjane just a small local one, 10 flat loops in November 😵‍💫

That's amazing! So much to be proud of.

Legend!

I love that!

before the end of speedwork or long run, i imagine passing kipchoge and announcers getting so hyped. in reality though in the marathon he covers a mile the same time i cover a km 😂

Ditto!

I'm glad to hear that resonated with you and great job getting out there. You'll feel so good when it's checked off. Hope it went well!

Love doing recovery runs on the treadmill!! And that's awesome you are noticing the difference on the days where you need that extra strength!

The more you run, the lower your HR will get at any speed. If you can't run in zone 2 yet, that's OK, better to focus on just getting in time on feet and extending that amount of time you can run. You can run until you really feel your HR spiking, take a walk break, and then go again.

You've come to the right channel then! Wishing you all the best in your marathon training journey.

Good for you, Barry!! Absolutely, many people follow Galloway's plan with success. Just goes to show, there is not just one way to achieve a goal.

I'm so sorry to hear, but you'll be stronger for it. And I think most endurance runners go through a wake-up call injury at some point, unfortunately. Hindsight is always 20-20... Wishing you a full recovery very soon so you can get back out running soon.

@@runningwithjane thank you Jane and keep these videos coming I love them 👍x

Yes, we're all unique!

LOL pretty much.

Hi Chelsea! I am currently still using the Garmin Forerunner 55, but looking into upgrading soon.

@@runningwithjane great. I’ve decided to try the Coros pace 3 will be my first running specific watch Thanks for your other review videos I found them helpful

Hi there - I shared how to do a running test in this video.

I'm sorry to hear that! Was it a tough race for you then? One thing to consider is why do you run in the first place? Why did you train for London? Perhaps there are some answers there that can get you back out there hopefully!

@@runningwithjane I got a ballot spot first time of entering, started running in the October, got a coach, followed the plan, did all the right tapering, meal prep, ran the whole way in a good time with my OH, felt really good. After I suffered for a couple of weeks, got marathon flu, really ached, have so far lost 6 toenails.. the race was amazing, looking back the 6 months of training was the real marathon & I feel like I should just be better as I’ve run a marathon… I’ve got a new coach & will see where I go..

Yes, RPE is so important! To train and race smart, you have to have an understanding of how you feel at certain paces, etc. You're welcome and appreciate you watching!

🙌

Hi Jordan - appreciate the dialogue. I understand your POV, but running is different. We start running in toddlerhood and no one teaches us how. It's innate...and children run freely all the time without worry of pace, form, etc. We were literally born to run. My main point of this whole video really is there is just way too much emphasis on it. When what I see from my vantage point is that most people just aren't doing enough to be even thinking about their form. Cart before the horse, if you will. And ultimately, further down the road if some fine tuning is needed on form especially via strides and drills, that's great. But I think a lot of people say someone's running form is bad when it's not, just because it doesn't look like the norm.

I'm so sorry to hear that - the worst. Have you been working with a PT? Strength training and slowing down most of the miles is so important...you'll be back stronger than ever!

I hope so 🤞. Iv been working really hard on my strength work that the physios have given me. Worst injury iv had and Iv had my fair share over the years 😢xx

Appreciate your viewership!! My channel has always just been slow and steady growth finding the right people and that's OK! Thank you for proving the point that if the long run is done correctly, at a truly easy pace, you can run a lot longer than you realize. We don't all need to be put in a box of what we are and are not capable of.

Glad to hear that it worked for you! What did you do in particular to improve your cadence?

@@runningwithjane I watched a video called “3 minutes to correct your running form” and followed it with a metronome for my desired cadence. Focusing on raising my knees. Not saying I’m the most efficient but it has increased my cadence and helped to conserve energy .

Haha, no idea who you're talking about. Definitely never just one way.

Lots of reps - that's how you get pretty darn good at anything.

Agree that 150 cadence is overstriding, but this can be a super easy fix (heel striking doesn't = overstriding). It doesn't require watching endless videos to fix form. I just see channels and whole business made out of fixing running form with ALL of these cues, and I just think...it's not that complicated!!

@@runningwithjane Indeed. In all honesty, I think that a lot of these tend to involve emergency issues for people who have severe issues, and it gets overly universalized, which isn't good for the vast majority who don't need to take drastic action.

I've heard good things about increasing cadence this way. Nothing wrong with utilizing something like this as long as it isn't taking away the joy. I'd also venture to guess improvement would have been made all by running more and your body becoming more efficient in the process (I'm sure the results brought faster results though!) Thanks for your input, Layne!

This!! Of course a newer runner (or someone who is just not training appropriately and assumes it's gotta be the shoes) is going to do whatever they tell them. Can't fault them...so frustrating.
