Those paces are insane. The majority of recreational runners don't even make it into the untrained category.
4:40 min/km untrained, sure…
I agree with the untrained segment / it's a race pace not a training run pace. I've been running for ~4 months & just progressing from untrained runner into beginner. I couldn't run 1km in November without stopping (certainly untrained & unfit lol), but have been consistently running 3x per week & finished my first 5k without stopping in 32min at the end of January / so race page seems accurate.
im untrained. i just start run again after 3 years not running my pace now 5k is 7km/m. i stay consistent to be come 5k under 25min
If you have been running for litteral YEARS and still can't run a sub 25 min 5k, just accept that you will always be a beginner and that's fine. I have been to the bowling alley 100+ times and i still suck at bowling! Running isn't for everyone. Stop trying to tell other people (who know what they're talking about, like Nicklas) that these times are incorrect, when you are just not talented at running.
Slipping just into the lower end of the advanced category, but really struggling with injury and can't progress further.
You should point out either on the title or during the video that these paces are meant for MALE runners.
Running economy is the amount of oxygen, not energy, used (ml/kg/min)
Given these numbers there is not a single runner in my running club who is considered advanced. And out of the 700+ participents of the 10k I ran yesterday there were only 2 that ran faster than 3:45 min/km 😅. But i still do most things you suggest for advanced runners. Good advice in general but you seem to have a little bit distorted view of what most runners are actually capable of. 😊
Overall system makes sense. But the numbers do not. Maybe they do apply to a superfit 16-year old, who has been playing soccer for 19 years and who just starts running? Please see all the comments
I think Nicklas is having a laugh with these paces 😂!!
oh and don't only start to pay attention to sleep, recovery and strength once you run faster than 3:30/km. Because you will never get there otherwise 😅
I see that the advanced level takes 5-10 years, but after 1 year of training i already achieved those times. What does that mean Nicklas?
sry what? these numbers from beginners are very unrealistic. i consider myself as a beginner, but i am far slower. and many good runners in my surroundings are not running these paces for intermediate runners. i am sorry, but these seen very unrealistic.
I think you got it wrong for the untrained and beginner paces. Those are genetic freaks to run around 4:15 marathon time untrained.
Yay nearing the end of intermediate level :). Time for more strength training. Great video. Nutrition and hydration are already in a good place (they already have been before starting to run).
A beginner having a 47:30 minute 10k. Which is the middle range 4:47/km That’s actually wild.
So i am an intermediate runner? I have been running for 3 years in XC and Track and my pace for a 5k race is 6:28.
Pace can be quite different for men and women, or old and young...
