Didn’t train but RAN ANYWAY!!! 2023 NYC Half Marathon
zhlédnutí 2,4KPřed rokem
13.1 miles with no training? Sounds like a BRILLIANT idea, right? Anyway let's just say that the 2023 NYC Half will be a race I won't soon forget but NOT for the reasons I expected. Let me know if you've ever run into my "issue" on the race course.
The running setback NO ONE talks about! Maybe it's for the best?
zhlédnutí 4,5KPřed rokem
Of all the races I’ve ever run, Sunday’s NYC Half will be a first I’ve gone into TOTALLY unprepared. What held me back during this training cycle? It's not something I'm proud of but maybe you relate?
Kofuzi's picks: BEST and WORST shoe EVER!!!!!

Kofuzi has tried on and reviewed countless pairs of running shoes but if it came down to JUST ONE PAIR, which would he choose? Watch as he breaks down his two favorites and reveals which other shoe still stirs up some hard feelings.

Marathon times may be subjective but there's no arguing that Kofuzi is a much stronger and faster runner than he used to be. Watch as he breaks down his own running philosophy. From Maffetone to marathons. Quick side note: Sorry for how long these videos have taken to get out. Life has gotten away from me a bit lately but the final two sections will be out soon.

We SURVIVED!!! 2022 NYC Marathon

A legendary race during one of its hottest years has made for a New York City Marathon to remember. Here's a look at race through the eyes of a non-elite, completely regular runner (who started in wave 4). A truly challenging but also moving experience that everyone should try once. A special thanks to everyone captured in this video including Chris, Vivian, Leona, Jen, Jenny, Antonio and more....
Too HOT for Kofuzi? His 2022 NYC Marathon plan
zhlédnutí 7KPřed rokem
“PR or ER 💪” Yeah, not the approach Kofuzi is taking for the 2022 NYC Marathon. The forecast is rough (mid 70's) and he’s making some adjustments and sharing some advice. I’ll have much more from the interview (very enlightening) in the weeks ahead but I’ve got to get to bed early! Good luck fellow runners! I look forward to reading your race predictions!

I hate that I have to make this video and I REALLY wish it wasn’t the case (especially after 16 weeks of hard training) but I have to be a bit blunt. Don’t ruin your marathon experience by making a mistake I’ve made in the past. Make your adjustments NOW!!!!
Strange but EFFECTIVE! Watch this before you run NYC marathon

This started out as a short list of the strange (but effective) things I've done and am doing leading up to running the New York City Marathon. As the partially extemporaneous list got longer and longer, I've realized that maybe I'm just stranger than I thought 🤣. Hopefully something here can help make your next marathon or half marathon better.
easy runs TOO EASY? Is that really a thing? 🤯
zhlédnutí 1,3KPřed rokem
This video is about a simple question that popped into my head during a recent easy run. Is it possible for an easy run to be too easy. Can running too slowly hurt you (or hold back your overall progress). My entire running life, I’ve been under the impression that there’s not such a thing as a run that’s too slow but I wanted to share an opposing view (from track and field coach Terry Radchenk...

It was 7 or 8 weeks before the NYC Marathon when it hit. The feelings of self doubt, the questions about whether the time I had spent was worth it, the sudden urge to just QUIT.

If you’re on CZcams long enough you're bound to see videos about how to absolutely crush it on race day. This ISN'T one of them!!! This is more of a what not to do before (and during) a race. Again, my apologies to the 4 or 5 runners that were right behind me! Thankfully this wasn't my A race (that's the NYC marathon which I'm still training for).

    I am beyond sick and tired of hearing about how brave and strong people are because of race and gender. I'm a white male and I have yet to experience any of the supposed privileges Im told that I have.. Its been the opposite frankly. I literally observe female privilege in may day to day life. Quite frequently I end up working twice as hard at my job because of all the females that can't lift more than 35 pounds. Yet we get paid the same amount hourly.. If I wasn't able to do everything that my job requires then I would be let go and replaced..

    HMM works. I ran sub 2:59 then 2:54 on it. In my opinion, the mileage in the book is too low. The rest/off days are arbitrary and should be skipped. The pace tables are not correct. Follow Jack Daneiel's VDOT tables instead (but do these workouts). I also preferred to add "the simulator" workout 16 miles MP. But hey, at its core, HMM works! I even had Luke sign my book.

    I have 4 pairs of shoes, and the best ones are Endorphin Speed 4`s… My calves are on fire with Novablast 3 and clifton 9 really early on the run, but with the Speed4`s, it`s easier for me to maintain a ”quicker” pace without the burning sensation, and my legs are less tired. They just fit my slow ass better 😃

    Thing is, streakfly is designed for 5-10k, while endorphin speed & vaporfly are designed for longer distances. Streakfly is literally a racing flat with extra foam. I’ve used it in track, and for XC. it is very versatile in shorter distances.

    Newbie over weight runner here and for the first 5 months of my running journey I used Gaviota 5 as my sole running shoe. After getting some confidence and finally experiencing the difference in my “slow run” vs “fast runs”, I got some shoes meant for speed days (got myself a Mach 5). The difference is great. I felt lighter and psychologically primed to run faster. My first carbon plated shoe is on the way and hopefully I will enjoy running more because of it.

    This is something that has bugged me, especially by those on Instagram when it comes to marathons. A mile is a mile. A marathon is a marathon. Those distances don't change. Whether you run these distances at a 4:30 pace or a 14:30 pace, it doesn't matter so long as you get to the start and finish line. And truthfully, the way I see it is that unless you were at the start line with me and unless you have witnessed my transformation and training over the last several months or several years, then you have zero room to criticize me. The people that have watched me and been with me are the ones that have room to talk as they can and will be constructive in their evaluations of me. They will tell me where my deficiencies are and where I excel at. But the strangers online who maybe have never even run a Marathon before have zero room to Monday Morning QB my life.

    I was introduced in my early 20’s to running backward doing various cuts and spins in order improve my agility on the football field. I forgot this skill until I coached youth soccer players to do the same, particularly gangly legged players whose legs had outgrown smooth motor function. These players had a hard time with changing direction and lateral movement. During that time, I was suffering from disruptive knee pain. I noticed that soon after running 40-yard sprints backward 10x a few times a week that pain in my knees disappeared. Now in my mid 70’s, I still incorporate running backwards uphill while doing various cuts and spins. I do this pain free, and my balance and mobility is still very good. The memories from carpet cleaning/water damage work and various taxing labor jobs that eventually caused pain are just that….memories.

    Firstly. Not all races are the same, its a average. secondly it can only see weight (if you set it) age (again if you set it) and other data it can gather. your training might skew the data unintentionally you build/ bone muscle makeup, might also skew the data. its a good estimate for most people.
