    I have a strong passion for training and diving into details, but I don’t write my own workouts. I’m coached by Isaac Wood (@Isaac we on Instagram).
    Many of the training concepts in this video are things I learned from the book “Jack Daniel’s Running Formula”, a book that takes a researched based approach to distance training. Check it out here:

    This is probably the best summary I’ve seen on CZcams so far for running a fast 5k. Pithy, succinct points that address all aspects. No going off on tangents, and no deep dives on one or two particular points.

    important to note on threshold - there’s both LT1 and LT2
    for those wanting to know more, there are good videos here on youtube that can explain it far better than me 😅

    • @mottesen_runs
      @mottesen_runs  Před 5 měsíci +3

      Yeah, I’ve heard about that. I’m referring to LT2 in this video. From my understanding, LT1 is slower and isn’t really a threshold, you’re still at a steady state with lactic buildup, so I’m not entirely sure how to use this knowledge in training TBH

      Good catch, I didn’t do a good job of specifying that! VO2 max pace is really close to an all out 2 mile/ 3k pace, depending on your ability could be a little slower than that. If you want to have a more detailed list of paces, google “Vdot tables”

      That’s a good question, and I don’t have a great answer honesty.. I have ones that hear about through friends and did in college, and those are the ones I target. One thing you could try is look up the local colleges and check their track team schedule. Most invitationals allow anybody to enter into the races

      lol 200 miles in a week… 10k and 5k are very similar races. Just need a little more volume than 5k. Maybe 10-20% more, but nothing crazy is necessary

  • @T1k3mys0n
    @T1k3mys0n Před 4 měsíci

    How come people can run 5k in under 39 minutes even for people that dont seem to exercise regulary ? I wonder if I'm really that unfit. My day one running pace was 10 minutes something seconds per km. 1.5 months later I'm still slightly lower than that at 9 minutes something per km at average but I can run at 8 minutes something if I push hard but sometimes it's only for the first 3k. My best is still 41:18 after 1 month and still struggling to beat my own record. I wonder if I need to use a weighted vest to condition myself. The 'track' I'm using is actually about 1.1km, using a block in the neighborhood, so my time for 5k is maybe 40m or 39m already but still, I still can't get lower than that.
    Lately I find it is easier to lower the time by doing sprinting several times even if I have to rest by walking for a bit after doing it, than running at a steady pace full time.

      @@flolin8766 under 50 above 45. I just started running this year. Last month running 95km total. This month target 100km and 300,000 steps goal following event on Huawei health app.
      I run 4-6 times a week 3k to 5k but mostly 5k now.
      My session is always a mix of running, jogging and walking. I cant do a full running nonstop yet, full jogging still can for maybe one or two laps. By laps here, I mean a 1.04km neighborhood block, I've measured it using google map measurement.
      It could also be height and weight factor I'm 168cm,Asian, 77.5kg(a bit overweight I think) so compared to Western or European height standard with longer legs they should theoretically run faster even tho its no excuse and shorter ppl can also run fast.

    MAke sense when you give pace with numbers I like that 20 seconds slower than your 1K in a 5K race pace to describe Threshold pace...you did not give pace for VO2 max and Anaerobic though

    • @mottesen_runs
      @mottesen_runs  Před 5 měsíci

      VO2 max is around the pace you would run an all-out 2 mile. And anaerobic is really anything faster than that. But typically much faster so you hit anaerobic quickly.
      Technically to measure these paces would take some special equipment, but this gets you in the right ballpark
