A stripped down version of the presentation I gave at the 2018 Nike Smoky Mountain Running Camp.
I talk about the things that elite runners do better than the average runner that you SHOULD try to copy -- as well as cover some of the things that you should NOT try to copy. - Sport
I've seen elite runners do something, and i read an article about this being one of the most important parts of training, so incorporated it into my life: the rest day. I take 7 of them a week, so i have mastered it quite well by now.
nah, just kidding i actually do run 4 to 5 times a week and this video was really helpful!
Love it! Glad the video was helpful!
Perhaps the most lucid and succinct video on running, recovery and progress. Amazingly well done! Thank you!
Thanks, Joseph! Glad you enjoyed it!
Great summary of how to improve and avoid overtraining and injury. Extremely well communicated. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work!
Thanks for the kind words, Tim -- glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you for this. We are pushed by the quantified-self phenomenon, oftentimes without thinking about what we can handle in the long run. Thank you for this video
Glad you enjoyed it -- thanks for the kind words!
Great video. Love your voice clarity and explanation in simple terms. Thank you.
Glad that you enjoyed it!
Concise presentation 🙌
Really excellent video Coach! a nice and concise explanation of some really important principles! I’m striving to get out of average, and periodization is showing results, now if only I could work on my genetics... and she... haha I do have plenty of opportunity for improvement before those hold me back
Beautiful information
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks a lot Carl, that was very informative and really motivating as well!
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for watching!
It's very informative especially the part that..
Just running is not enough. We need to consider at some other things also.
Good tips
If I had to pick one video for running training advice, it would be this one. Subscribed. Thanks.
Thanks for the kind words, John -- I appreciate it!
Useful!
Hi Carl, just happened across your channel and found it very interesting as so much on youtube is focussed on good/speedy runners. I am 72 returned to running last year after 30 or so years non running and have found that my head is back in the 80’s but my body isn’t. Last year I tried to run a marathon and achieve a good for age sub 5 hour time (back in the day 3.09 was my pb) and used a lot of my old ideas to formulate my training plan e.g 3 to 4 runs 20 miles and over on a 3 week schedule + several races, 2 halves 2.12ish, 10k’s 57 & 59mins, 5k’s 27mins. In the race my legs were dead as early as 10 miles and therefore struggled big time to finish with 5hrs 38. This year I have entered the same marathon in November and am trying to run 7 times in a fortnight with a days rest between most and therefore that is why I have found your thoughts really interesting. My question is how many long runs would you recommend and what sort of distance? I have seen ideas of not running more than 3 hours in the build up as there is no significant benefit only burn out. I would be pleased to hear your thoughts about how a 70+ year old can get the best out of himself?
Many thanks and I have subscribed to your channel and hope you cover the older runner in future episodes as it is so elite elite based which is interesting but not the help or advice that helps me.
Finally any books that you may recommend.

Enjoyed the talk
Thanks, Rick!
thanks
Me staying up late to learn more about why I should be recovering
All makes sense. What other aspects of elite runner habits should amateurs mimic? Diet, equipment, terrain, altitude, etc...?
To be honest, any of those get tricky -- elite runners just have easy access to a lot more resources than the average runner. I would say the other things to copy would be taking some unstructured training time after a long training cycle / goal race and varying what distances you focus on (i.e. doing a training cycle focused on more 10k training after a marathon training cycle). A lot of adult runners get in a rut of going straight from one goal race to the next and not mixing it up as much.
I'm an erstwhile runner and presently a cyclist, and much of the information included in the video fits both sports.
Definitely! Stress / adaptation is certainly not unique to running -- glad it was helpful!
running is so hard on the body its ridiculous. I've been rehabing a knee injury for almost 7-8 months. Worked my way up to running 7 minutes straight, decided to jump to 10 minutes straight, then i began to feel pain all over again. It took me months to build up to 7 minutes of straight running. I was also probably running way too hard for an easy run
How often should one do plyometrics, general strength and core strength?
2-3 Times a week based off my coaches plan
Hello sir,any weekly plans, I've no idea when to do drills, workouts, tempo, long run...help please
Hi there -- you may find this video helpful: czcams.com/video/0JtaD6-hFGg/video.html
How often should you do plyometric exercises?
I think starting w/ 1 time a week is good and then can build up to 2 times a week if you feel like it. It's important to do it when you're reasonably fresh to get the most out of it so it's tricky to fit in much more frequently than that.
im enjoying your videos very much. The volume of you speaking? lol not so much. and I have both my speakers at its loudest, and if im on my phone, same thing. but its still hard to hear your explanations. that being said, thank you so much for passing on all that knowledge...
