Sometimes i forget jusf how good Andy is
Andy running the Kipchoge pace was truely impressive. And Sarah showed guts for even trying this. For all the work I'm putting in, it's still faster than my 400m pace. Insane. Also, very comprehensive explanation of training zones. Great job as usual!
I love this as sometimes people can be hard that someone isn't running very fast. Everyone is different and that is ok.
Finally decided to have a go at an 'Easy Run' as suggested rather than just going out at any old pace and what do you know? It was so much better. I really must forget all that 'What will it look like on Str*va?' nonsense...... As for Kipchoge - I'm happy to watch him do it, thank you!
7 time marathoner Racewalker here: largely use these things. But still get confused on what they mean. Thanks for explaining
This is pretty similar to how I group different paces / intensities: VO2 Max : 3-5k pace Threshold: ~10k pace Tempo: ~ HM pace Steady ~ Marathon pace Easy: impossible, can't be done, there is no such thing as an easy run 😂. I have HR zones that I associate with these as I know roughly what HR I can hold for these distances on a good race. I find it's often better to go by HR for intensity if hills or trails are involved as you will be slower at the same intensity.
I almost fell off my chair laughing with that "No! No-No-No-No-No!" from Sarah.
Here in the Midwest US, temperature swings pretty wildly and it greatly affects my comfortable running pace. Some days my slower runs are around 10:00 a mile, others I'm sucking wind at 10:45.
Huge congrats to Sarah for completing the Amsterdam Marathon this morning!
Hey, I'm fast approaching 50, about 20lbs overweight from winter hibernation, just got over Covid a month ago and I'm rocking a 12min/mile pace here in mountainous WV. I'm not out to win races, I'm doing this for me. :D
Sarah, that was a fantastic marathon performance, kudos very well earned.
Nice one! I really got warmed up for the WizzAir Sofia marathon this weekend in Bulgaria! Greetings from there!
Found this so useful as im trying to get my head around different paces well done Andy and Sarah that was tough!
My all out mile pb is 4:38 which is kipchoge's marathon pace (2:01:39) It's mind-blowing how he can run at that pace for 2 hours and look so comfortable!
Been watching the channel for a while and this was one of my favourite videos. Great explanation of pacing and the side by side shots were extra helpful.
Really helpful video. thanks 👍I'm dead impressed that Andy could still talk to the camera while running at Kipchoge's marathon pace!
I didn't know anything about how you're supposed to run and most of my trainings were tempo to threshold. I just always pushed myself, seemed natural that that's how you train. Will change that and see how it goes.
i think treadmil run should not be compared to normal running. they feel so much different
I probably more in Sarah's pace territory. Easy pace varies depending on the temperature and other factors, but it generally ranges from 9:30 to 10:15 per mile. 10K pace is around 7:40/mile. Last summer, my 5K pace was 7:12/mile and I think it's pretty close to the same now. For me, the most enjoyable range is around 8:30 to 10:15/mile.
