Ah no joke I was looking at getting the rebel.4. But cannot justify 250 miles

Have to give mafate a try

Not a huge fan of the speedgoat 5 not going to lie. No traction at all more slip goat than speed goat

I had the peg 40s wasn't a huge fan. Found they hurt my mid foot anything past 10 miles

Hahaha mate I told you fiver's finest editing 🤣

Good start to the challenge

Ty

How can I help you?

@@leerunsultras pls I need info about the British army I'm planning on joining pls is there any way we can chat pls help a brother all I need is info that's all

Thanks 😁

What's up?

Thanks man for this reply

​@@leerunsultrasok i want to join the British army I just need info and small explanation of the roles I'll be glad if you can help

Exactly mate it's going to be an amazing challenge for sure

Il have to run fast there so my trainers don't get stolen 😂

I certainly will be mate. I'm doing everything city but that's one vote for Plymouth next ❤

St David's - you'll have to do laps mind!

@jpbutler23 il smash some trails out buddy 🤣

@@KingSloth great idea, irget a t-shirt with the qr code on

@@leerunsultras your literally a running billboard

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂​@@KingSloth

@Gez-C thanks buddy. I'm looking forward to exploring the rest of the uk 🇬🇧

Haha isn't it just

Yes, it is

@@Gez-C excellent mate cheers for the support. I was planning to do it but I'm away on my brother's stag

Get then reported 🤣

Huh ?

Thanks very much and good luck woth the upcoming race

Exactly mate, a way better metric to follow for the most part

Spot on. As long as you're active who cares

I love this message mate. Well done keep getting out and being active 👏

Same as me

@violindalola the perfect run background I wish they had similar here in the uk 🇬🇧

@BenNotley you pretty much are bro 🤣

@@leerunsultras cheers mate! 🤣👌

@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 😂😂😂😂

Thanks,hope the training goes well. Let me know how it progresses

@@expatadventureturkey9324 thank you mate appreciate it

@@PetarPeranovic wow thank you for watching and commenting

@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

@@leerunsultras thank you very much for your time and the kind words

@@damedavidfrith55 awesome mate 👏 defo a long picnic lol

@haykelg340 OK ish on the flat but when goi g down hill to narrow

@@leerunsultras Thanks for the answer, really helpfull!

@haykelg340 I think since I purcha3d them they have a wide option but very limited on sizes

@hevizi ah what a perfect location. Porthkerry is stunning too 😍

@@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!

@@trailsandbeers you win lol

@@EOINmurphy-d9f appreciate the kind words thabks for watching and taking your time to comment.❤️

@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

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

@@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 😤

@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

😂😂😂😂 tamping raging fuming 😤

@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!

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.

@@lmbraga I'm seeing more and more topo. May have to have a look

@@leerunsultrastopo’s are fab. I have both the Ultraventure 3s and the Mtn Racer 3s. Both really comfy and tough 👍🏼

Even in a wide speedgoats really mashed up my feet. Just done 100k in brooks caldera 7s, fantastic

@patmone922 yep I have every book you can imagine 💪 training what works for you
