Rick, please let them go a little longer. I always listen on my long run and I need as much of you three as I can get!

How can I get a healthy Hrv? Mine was bad like for a month and now it’s going back to normal slowly. I got a cold and I think that affected my hrv

Who else is here because of the Powerbeats Pro charging issue? 😂

Loved this challenge, It'd be fun to do this in teams with one person on a bike and you can switch to see how far you can go together.

Why would you bin it

Would love to talk to you guys about my journey into running as a blind runner at 50 and my quest to try to get a London GFA time. Trying to lobby London Marathon to have para GFA times like some of the other major marathons do but until I can get an answer from them I’m continuing to try to chase the able bodied time. Any help with my lobbying would be gratefully received

Its very difficult because it really comes down to someones will power to push.

We came for the science, we came back becuase of the useless banter. 👍

Sub 3 by you both and cramp! Superb

Loved the need to provide subtitles for Tom. Well done, man.

Great advice Andy 🙂

Actually being and Tom's level is a very good position - you can see huge improvements in very short time. Unlike after you run for several years and any further improvements are very hard.

Andy as you are the boss, After your 1* rating can I try and give you some constructive advice please. For some context I have been watching from the start and still enjoy your channel. I know this is the structure and content for the podcast BUT can you dial Rick and Sarah down a bit as Rick can’t be that dumb and Sarah can’t be that annoying. Obviously it is for the banter and entertainment but get them to dial it back just a touch. P.S. was Ricks last running watch a sundial 🤣

Steve Cram's voice took me through Couch to 5k which helps so many people, but I didn't really appreciate who he was until the news hit about his record being broken. So glad to hear just how stunned you guys were about him too. What a power house <3 Miss him on my runs 9 months later.

I ran a 30 min 5k today and I was about to die. This looks too easy for her.

On the wall defo 🎉🎉

Spikes for 1000m and less 🏃👟

It goes on a stick, near a wall. Unless it's a rubbish medal.

Pressure indeed. I have run Stockholm Marathon 8 times. 7 of those, I was sick beyond belief. I guess it is migraine or something stress related to the task at hand. Oh, and yesterday was no exception. But very, very happy to have reached the goal line. Next year will be an hour faster. Thanks guys, for all the inspiration!

jess .. we love you, but please give the man at least a moment of silence, so he can think and focus on his breathing so he can run.

Just putting it out there as a cyclist with Velotoze overshoes it has to be sock, sock, overshoe, overshoe, shoe, shoe, refit overshoe, refit overshoe.

I love the useless banter, I listen to your podcast on recovery runs and it's like running with friends that are having the best conversation, so fun.

spikes < 3000m

In the bin is criminal.

I'm two weeks into a very ambitious 10k PB, down from 61 minutes (with a traffic stops) to 45 which is an even faster pace than on my 5k in 24 minutes. But it's ten more weeks to go and the Garmin Coach is still optimistic. My pulse went down over the last months where I smashed my 5k from 30 to 24 minutes, so I should hit this 10k target and improve the 5k along the way

Now that's a swift time! Very well done. You're obviously in great shape and it shows in the run and otherwise. Brilliant.

Really great video review of the full range from Garmin. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for taking the time to make this video, I'm sure it's helping many viewers.

Miles, i was raised miles in America

The Wall

So i used to smoke cannabis for 15 years (age 13 to 28) And the only thing that ever scratched that itch was running. Not full on, but a mile at just under a real heart punding run got me where i needed to be. Now im at a point of long distance running and it takes about 20 minutes (2.5 miles) before i get there or an 8 minute mile at near full power. Bow that i know its the endocannabinoids working it makes so much more sense.

Go Tom! Be patient, consistent and kind to yourself and your body. Let your whole system make those adaptations as it absorbs the training, don't push too hard. I came from plus 60 10k races 13 years ago and now average around 40min. Lots of ups and downs along the way, but am still loving the journey and sense of health and fitness it's given me. It will be hard work at times, but it should also be lots of fun and fulfilling more often than not. Good luck again, you're going to reach a lot of people on this series, and we're really rooting for you!

What's the self nav race in the lake district that you didn't name?

anyone that dares to run Barkley gets respect. doesn't matter if they finish or not.

I tried this workout and it’s tough, but in a very nice and achievable way. It doesn’t get boring because of the shifts. I will try it again!

You guys have the perfect balance of science and banter!

Useless banter all the way! Please don’t change this format for the one dullard out there 😂😂 Love you all!! ❤

Absolutely beautiful, the end brought some tears to my eyes. Amazing job running Rick, amazing job coaching Sarah.

Thanks for the best useless banter

I started running very recently and have just got myself a gopro ... im ancient (52) and as slow as a snail and just want to create content for runners like me. I have a CZcams channel ... but its all silly unboxing videos at the moment. This sounds like an amazing opportunity for the right person though!

This podcast is excellent. You’ve motivated me to get off the couch and start my marathon journey. Be careful calling out 1 star reviews, you’ll encourage other trolls to make negative remarks. All love from Australia.

I'm working towards a PB 10k in September and am doing some sessions like this. I'm using Runna which is proving to be very useful

I ended up self medicating my Achilles issues, tried shielding it for a long time and it would hurt whenever I ran. So after some reading and finding out that tendons won't heal unless you put them under pressure, I did micro runs, like 1 mile until it hurt, then over the next couple of days I would walk around on tiptoes and do heel raises while standing about until it stopped hurting then went on another micro run. Basically repeating that and increasing the distance to ride the pain wave to freedom. (Disclaimer: I'm not a health professional!)

Pretty crappy giving a one star review which is basically "I'm not the target audience" I learned a lot from TRC and now largely watch it for entertainment and go elsewhere when I want white boards and graphs etc. Not that the videos aren't informative but I'm in the learning how to program and getting into the nitty gritty phase of running but still watch all of the TRC content.

I want to see Rick do a touch mudder or some sort of whacky race (I think I saw one where you get chased by zombies that's near london)

The physiological expression for nerves and excitement are exactly the same, the only difference is one is associated with fear, the other with joy. Even telling yourself "gah, Im so pumped to be here!", when you're absolutely terrified, already helps! Also, useless banter is what makes podcasts with several hosts stand out! Keep that roast going!

At my running club, we buy the medal in bulk but then change the ribbon each yr so that you get that variety

Why do race distances go; 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m? Why not 1600m?

Doing more racing has helped my self-inflicted pressure. Having children and responsibilities it can be hard to find time to attend a race, I would put pressure on myself to do well, as people were going out of their way to babysit for me. I used to shake with nerves for an hour or so before and then feel dread on the start line. Now down to only a slight shake and feel absolutely calm and relaxed on the start line 😅

Boxers.
