Perfect timing pal just gona order a new shoe and was looking at this. I av the new bal rebel 4 absolutely class shoe but hit 250miles and they ready for bin. A like to get round 500miles before a switch so gona try these mach 6s.
Ah no joke I was looking at getting the rebel.4. But cannot justify 250 miles
Think you're right mate the Mafate is probably the closest trail variation. Glad to hear you've found a Hoka shoe you really like mate 😎🤘
Have to give mafate a try
This is just what I wanted to hear. I'm looking for a shoe for my first marathon. I love the Hoka trail shoes and I'm thinking about getting the Mach... probably 5, depending on price. I like the Speedgoat 5 and Torrent 2 but they're old models now, so not sure what to recommend.
Not a huge fan of the speedgoat 5 not going to lie. No traction at all more slip goat than speed goat
I loved my hoka mach 4's they been demoted now to my rainy as tits day shoe. My wife bought me pair of hoka arachi 6 and I hated them, was getting constant foot pain and blisters. Currently using the Nike Pegasus 40 for my road runs and they feel great on my feet. I need to get new pair of trail runners for the pegasus slam next year and I think I'm going to go with the Nike Wildhorse 8.
I had the peg 40s wasn't a huge fan. Found they hurt my mid foot anything past 10 miles

This might be a interesting thing to do. For instance Friedrich Engels wrote in his 'Die Lage der arbeitendes Klasse in England' the notorious Salford would be worse than Manchester. Salford wasn't a City back then, but if you visit every present-day City, you will see both. So you are not only running Marathons, but are going on a journey through some thousand years of history as well.
Exactly mate it's going to be an amazing challenge for sure
Great start mate. The cathedral was looking incredible. Maybe Sheffield next 👍
Il have to run fast there so my trainers don't get stolen 😂
You should come to Plymouth..Royal Navy city
I certainly will be mate. I'm doing everything city but that's one vote for Plymouth next ❤
Please comment which city i should visit next, top city i will make a priority.
St David's - you'll have to do laps mind!

Get then reported 🤣

Huh ?
I’m looking for my first quality GPS watch, as I’ll be participating in my first ultra event in January 2025. A 105k ruck run in OCALA National Forest. Goal: under 20 hours. Very helpful video. New subscriber.
Thanks very much and good luck woth the upcoming race
Time and distance both have their purpose. I assume, if you're a track runner like Ingebritsen, having a high amount of certain distances in your training will give you good results. This might be a reason why people that come from relatively short distances to ultra running focus on distance when time on feet might be the better measure.
Exactly mate, a way better metric to follow for the most part
Back in the day, which is also known as at school, our class did some exercises and then everybody took his pulse for 15 seconds. Pulse times four was your max HR. Comparing the numbers we found, 220 - age is a rule of thumb and some guys didn't work out as hard as they should 😄. In my world 40 miles a week beats 20 miles a week and every week beats every other week and that's all I need to know. That means I will never win a race, but I am fine with that.
Spot on. As long as you're active who cares
in all honesty, there is no controversy at all in your preferring running on time. It took me 40 years to finally understand, running on time is freeing your soul, opening up a new happy world and let you fly without any limits. No pressure, no bad feelings, no guilty conscience, no overtraining, no burning out, no more puking before a planned workout.........and now..... running the highest mileage of my life, being eager to go for a run every day, enjoying the time out in the woods, living life at its fullest......
I love this message mate. Well done keep getting out and being active 👏
I love to run first thing but hate to eat first thing. Only force myself to eat a banana or whatever for weights, intervals or a long long run
Same as me
In Jr high we focused on time on feet running for beginners. We ran all of 1st period . As we gained more time on our feet we started focusing on mileage distance for time. We ran before 1st period all the way through 1st period to have enough time to get to those distances we set for the week. The man knows what he is talking about. I did cross country and track all the way to college. 10 years. Now getting back into it after leaving college and been out of it for years.
@violindalola the perfect run background I wish they had similar here in the uk 🇬🇧
I'm a professional runner 🤣🤪
@BenNotley you pretty much are bro 🤣
@@leerunsultras cheers mate! 🤣👌
Hopefully you did not feel that I am hating you. That is not the case. Sport sciences are a hobby of mine and I like asking questions. That is how learning is done. Sadly I did not get the conversation going on that I wanted.
@kahlis wasn't your comment mate. You made a valid point. It was another comment stating didn't know what I was talking about. Clearly I have over 20 years of experience. All question you asked were valid. It was another person commenting calling me an idiot
@@leerunsultras did I get you right on your comments. How I see what you were trying to say that people could take it as a strating point. The 220- age and if they are using the 5 zone system then they should aim for that 60-70% when doing zone 2. Amd if you want to spend the money and be more acurate you should take the lab to get the exact results. I agree with you that the 5 zone model does not have up to 80% of max hr. Maybe some really elites in some cases but in general no. Could they get confused with the 3 zone and 5 zone model?
@kahlis I think so, matt Fitzgerald uses lactate threshold in order to assess hr zones and recommends an easy intensity is. 75-80%. But my point still stands the traditional somewhat outdated method of 220- age is used in comparison with the 5 zone method. Personally my self I take my max heart rate from a recent hard 5k of 188bpm I then take away my resting heart rate which currently sits at 50. I then times it 0.7 and add back on my resting heart rate which gives me 146. Which funnily enough is my MAF heart rate. 180 - 39 +5. So it's quite good how it collaborates.
@@leerunsultras it's been a while since I've read Fizgeralds 80-20 book. Seems odd that he is recomending such a high values. I'll have to re read it. MAF gets it right sometimes. I quess the point on MAF and the point you are also taking is that people mostly should slow down and run easier. I use the Karvonen model and also test the max HR. Once a year I do a lab test just to check things out. I've noticed that when you are older. Like me, 45. And have trained for years. The basic calculation models mostly get it wrong and you just have to start testing things out.
@kahlis yep that's what my whole message is mate. If you had me on insta you will see that all I preach is that people don't run thier easy runs easy enough. Even when they think they are running easy. Chances are they are probably not. Because when people say you should go off RPE that is totally skewed by their inability to assess how hard they are running or just by thier egos 😂😂😂😂
Thank you so much! Really appreciate your answers and it makes a lot of sense! When you google training plans for ultra running most of them focus on increasing distance each week - which is what I have based mine off - but I like what you said about time on feet and the reduced pressure to achieve a certain distance. It also massively makes sense when adding interval and hill sessions in. I am going to give it a go! Thank you again, and ignore the haters - if they can't understand the "one of many options" concept then more fool them - it's about experimenting, research and finding the best that suits the individual. Also... enjoy your holiday! 😎🏖
Thanks,hope the training goes well. Let me know how it progresses
Always appreciate your insight, thanks for all you do for our community 🤙🏽

@@PetarPeranovic wow thank you for watching and commenting
I am very happy for having run for the first 40 years of my running without ever checking my heart rate during a run. I got my first gps watch some 10 years ago. At the moment i run most of my runs without any stop watch. Never cared about any numbers, never reached my maximum potential , and i am so happy about that all, non competitive happy lifelong runner, running til the end of my days
@justanoldfashionedrunner605 my grandad only stopped running 3 years ago he was 82. Former world champion 800m and 1500m at the age of 71. Never had a running watch in his life and wrote all his runs down in a book
@@leerunsultras this is great. Running free like a bird flies is so rewarding, specially when we are older and slower. I changed my running journal several time over the years. At the moment i just write down the kilometer i did, and in case it was not an easy run, i write down the kind of run. Sometimes i run a time trial with a stopwatch, and i write down those times......running twice a day very slow most of the time, totaling around 65 miles per week......some times dreaming on being on top of the world in 10 years, when i will be 80....we will see about that
@justanoldfashionedrunner605 wow that's inspirational to me. Well done

@@MissRoxyFlower I know I love this route devastated it was closed. I contemplated sneaking through 🤣
@@leerunsultras I've recently been trying to put together a more comprehensive running plan for myself (finally decided it's time to try and improve!). In one of your videos, would you mind talking about why you have chosen 'time' as your long run indicator rather 'distance' for example? I am very much at the start of a long process, and have been basing my ideas off increasing weekly distance (slowly to avoid injury), could time be better for me now or is time better once you have got to the later months of the plan and long runs are loooong anyway? Would love to know your thoughts as an experienced runner, but also ideas for someone starting from a much lower base like myself. Thank you 🤞👍
@MissRoxyFlower yes not a problem i will talk about it tomorrow for you ❤️
@@leerunsultras Amazing thank you so much! I'm probably just overthinking everything at the moment and might be more settled when I'm further into it all, but nice to have any help and advice when possible 😊 Look forward to tomorrow!
I just have one HR zone, that way I am always in it 👍
@@trailsandbeers you win lol
Thanks for all the videos really learning alot. New to running and it can be daunting. You break it down for us amatures brilliantly. Thanks so much
@@EOINmurphy-d9f appreciate the kind words thabks for watching and taking your time to comment.❤️
Basing any zone calculation off X minus age is already inherently flawed. You need to already have a ball park number for your max heart rate, either through a max heart rate test, or at least from your workout statistics, which 99% of watches give you. Then, basing zones simply off max heart rate, will most likely not match RPE or the values a lactate threshold test would give you. As you said, 60-70% of MHR is pretty low. In my experience, with the Karvonen Method the zones align a lot more closely to lactate test, RPE and even MAF.
@ItsJakeTheBrake mate you need to watch my latest video I'm not going through this again just because I didnt state all other methods of getting max hr doesn't mean this one is wrong
tnx. as a newborn runner I still get confused by all the different methods and different zones. enough about that for now. question: is it better and safer to train on a lower level than a too hard level?
Initially when starting put you need to build a solid base. That said I would recommend. Not introducing hard sessions until you have at least 12 weeks of consistent east running using progressive mileage increase in the long run
Haha I think the person in question will get it now. Keep up the good work
@@thereids3625 🤣🤣🤣 I doubt it he will probably still say that 220 - your age isn't a method. Whilst I know it's not very accurate. It's one of the guides that is commonly used 😤
I agree zone 2 isn't MAF, but let's not define zone 2 by starting with max HR = 220 - age either (the least accurate way to estimate your z2). %HRR is better, but outside of an expensive lab test, most running coaches are going to triangulate z2 with a combination of HR and RPE/talk-test.
@Jason608 yep your right 220 is just one method of calculating your max hr of which there are many. Outside the lab my favourite is the Cooper test
I think your delivery of information was a little too low key. 😅. Have a great weekend 💪
😂😂😂😂 tamping raging fuming 😤
Are so many not understanding this? MAF is fixed but clearly not right for most people, just the person who fits the average. Z2 can only be calculated accurately in a lab, but the Kavonen method seems reasonable and has worked well for my training. MAF for me is right on the limit between Z1 and Z2, so I run top of Z1 when doing a MAF test, or recovery run, and use Z2 for my easy runs. It's not complicated.
@st4331 exactly mate I used maf to run a sub 3 marathon. But maf doesn't work for so many people because of fitness levels. Maf heavily depends on high volume. Kavonen is a great method, I've also used the Cooper test using a chest strap to determine my max heart rate. There's so many ways to skin a cat and essentially you have to find what works for you. I guess my message is and always will be that too many people run their easy runs too hard without even realising it. I wish you all the best in your training and thanks for watching and taking time to comment 😊
@@leerunsultras So true, many people still think they need to run hard to improve, yet long runs at Z1/2 are very enjoyable and after some time you find you're running as fast as you were at Z3, at least I did, and so did my son! He's now done a 100k ultra; I'm doing my second 50K in Sept. I never thought I'd be able to run that far, but slowing down has stopped the injuries and massively improved my endurance! MAF meant walking when I first started; people, need to give it time.
@st4331 that's amazing I still have to walk sometimes. Yes I may post all my maf rest results because in 6 months I went from an 11 min mile to a sub 8 min mile at the same heart rate ❤
@@leerunsultras That's excellent, amazing improvement in 6 months. Results just keep improving with time. I do an 8km MAF test once a month and I averaged 6m32s/km in June and it was 36C, but that's after 2 years!
Ive had some clown comments about zone 2. Some people are either stupid or arrogant 🙄
I used to wear Altras, in Hoka I went for the Speedgoat 5 in the Wide version it really does make a difference.
Wasn't available for me when I bought it unfortunately. What do you think of altars as I have never wore them
@@leerunsultras I've been using Altras for about 6 years now and lately their line-up is quite a mess. Uppers don't last over a few hundred kms; Foot box volume changes between versions of the same shoe; Rubber grip is inconsistent between models. Right now I'm leaning more towards Hoka and Topo Athletic as their shoes seem to last longer than most Altras. BUT one model from Altra I will probably try in the near future is the Timp 5. I feel like it's their best model, and the 5th edition has Vibram rubber so I think it has potential.
