- čas přidán 8. 11. 2023
- After a World Silver Medal in Riga, it's back to basics and the winter build! In this video, I suffer through a brutal hill workout, discuss the big decisions I need to make with regards to my racing schedule, and recap my recent team win at the National XC Relays.
Winter is here! It's not glamorous... but it's needed!

Good things come to those that wait....
Ahhhh… so simple when you see it written down 😂
Good things come to those who wait!
Hahah that’s it. Can’t believe I couldn’t think of that at the time 😂
I heard Charlie has a new soar jacket. I wonder where he got it from…..
Great video!
You know what… you’re right 👀 keep your friends close & your enemies closer
The way you put the options, I didn't even want to wait to hear elaboration: Take Mud & Lungs all day... it'll take you mich farther than spikes+flight ever could...😊
if only it was that simple haha
INDOOR!!!!
🤝🤝
Race indoor, rip some fast times and get used to competing/racing earlier so when outdoor comes along you are already familar with racing on a track and from there it's all about getting specific race stuff in.
Best of Luck!!!
Either way it will be fun to watch your journey this coming year.
Cheers 💪🏼
I think you need to do what excites you the most. Ultimately, the joy you get from running will get you where you want to be. Oh, and do Telford 10k. It is rapid! Good luck.
cheers!
Living for these uploads! amazing insight and content
Thank you!!
great video bossman
💪🏼
Amazing vid great to see your progress
Thanks!
What a year! Good luck whichever path you decide to take! 💪
🤝 cheers!
I LOVED your sprint finish!! 👏👏👏👍
Haha thank you!
Great video as always 👍 👌, got to love hill reps
Thank you! Tough but great workout
Love the video again. Fascinating insight into the elite world. Just enjoy it! Just looking online pretty tricky to qualify for the olympics!!!
Yep! UK is one of the hardest nations to make the team!
Another class video mate. Love it. I can’t wait to get back on the indoor bike to tick off some more videos I need to catch up on.
Love to hear it mate!
Another good one 🫡
Thank you!!
Great video as always! It would be cool to see you guys at New Balance in February, but do whatever makes the most sense for your Olympic goals!
If I can get a spot, I’ll be there! 🫡
Big question for me would be - what will make you, as an individual, stronger at the 1500 come the outdoor season? Do you get stronger off the long stuff or the short stuff, and what will get you the most gains? That would be my way of assessing the winter plan.
Look at Jake and Josh over the 2021 and 2022 winters respectively - Jake did some 3000 work because he needed that strength, and did a bit of sprint technique work; Josh did a half marathon (amongst other things).
You know you best - chat with Nick, see if you’re both on the same page… and smash it
In Aguila We Trust
Surely have a crack at world indoors in Glasgow
👀
I'm in no position to give elite athletes advice but (my tuppenceworth) after the 'buzz' of Riga I think there is the temptation to both overthink and over train. Indoors sound good as they are both fun and great tactical race sharpeners.
Channel is all about engaging people with the sport! So whilst the comments will never guide what I *actually* choose to do, it's great to hear opinions and get people thinking about the sport from a different angle and perspective. Thanks for your input!
Best review of a running shoe I've ever heard. (Indoor +1)
🤝🤝
Great video!! I'd personally love to see a vid about your S+C or pre-run prehab routine too :)
A lot of requests for this! I don’t plan on making any “advice” style content, but perhaps this will feature in a future video somewhere along the line :)
Awesome! I think the 'follow me around doing stuff'-style content you do a lot of at the mo versus advice content is more interesting actually too :) @@the.distanceproject
Noted! We are genuinely just trying to have fun with it and make what feels natural :) I’m sure it will evolve over time!
good things come to those who wait
🤝🤝
You have to do indoor. Think of the speed for summer. Plus the videos will be awesome. Great video. Loved that your jacket got nicked. I live in Glasgow and my stuff vets stolen daily 😂.
thanks for watching!
Wait, that was a hill? Come to Yorkshire where we have real hills 😂. Great video 👍🏽
I’m born and raised in Yorkshire, lived there for 21 years 😂 This steeper than it looks, trust me!
i'm down for indoor, would be fun to watch!
For sure!
Amazing video. Loving the journey. What time would you be happy with over 10km?
Thank you! 28:xx would be a goal for me 👍🏼
I think the saying is "Good things come to those who wait"
you're right
Indoor!
🫡🫡
If I were you ( I wish...!!!! 😂😂😂) I would do what gives you most joy and energy and motivation to be honest. If you have fun you will perform at your very best (if I estimate you right as a person based on the videos and podcasts). Good luck on chosing your battle plan! 💪💪💪
Good advice 🫡
I'm just here for the algorithm
love that
The real achievement is managing to find a hill in Cambridge!!
You're right 🤣
Good things take time, Great things take a little longer!
I like that
Back in the day, when I used to be half decent, I'd do a very short xc season, hit indoors Feb/March then grind out the training again before starting the outdoor track season in May. Only you know can decide what will work for you. I think you'd have a decent shout of making the World Indoor team if you gave it a good crack
world indoors Q is the plan!
Not just commenting for the algorithm... If you're contemplating x country, why not come along to Wimpole parkrun one Saturday and have a crack at the course record? It might be wet often during winter, but nowhere near as boggy as the end of that Mansfield course. That looked horrendous!
I don’t think a hard parkrun fits in with my training or racing at the moment, but maybe one day!
Scratch both and do the 24-Hour ultrarunning championships on 1 and 2 december in Taipei and then fly directly to Valencia to run the marathon on december 3. Get some rest after and then race Kiptum in Rotterdam in april.
Not challenging enough
Liverpool short course, Euro xc relay, indoors including BU Valentine (finish indoors end of Feb) March back to strength work and mileage, April start to re-sharpen for track, May start outdoor track. Excited to see how things unfold, keep up the good work. No downside to going a bit faster provided you keep some of the base work through until the summer
Master plan
Luxembourg has a great indoor race so you could redeem your experience if schifflange
Haha maybe! We’ll see
Love hills, they were the secret to any success I had. XC 🤪😂 Are any shoes now worth the money ? 😂
Yes shoes definitely worth it 🤝
Surely a cheeky trip to Paris is on the cards?
Haha #daretodream
Someone nicked your Soar Jacket!? I'd be seething, in fact I am seething for you 😤
RIP Soar Jacket
I don’t think it’d be too bad to run indoor. It’d be great for content and you could “disappear” and train from Feb-April to really grind some training. Curious to see what you decide.
Follow along to find out !!
I would keep last year's model, since it worked
We’ll see!
Ouchie 🩹
my thoughts exactly
For XC training would you suggest speed sessions or longer sessions off-road? Because I live in the countryside it is very hilly.
Longer volume sessions will generally be better but you should also stay in touch with your speed!
Callum, do the option that works more on your key weakness.
💯
Would love to get you along to our 5km road race in Scotland in April if you fancied it?
I’ll be on the track in April I think!
Simple for me, it’s all about the summer , do you need to be ‘fitter’ faster or improve speed endurance - long XC , can’t see how that would fit in. Look at what others like you have done. Cram and Coe were poor XC runners , Ovett could do anything . I would do some shorter (5 mile, 10k) road races. What is strength everyone talks about - it’s an illusion , all good XC runners have good VO2 max .
May be a few 3k indoor for a change but just to see how you’re going
Every runner approaches things differently! Some 1500 runners no further than 5k… some do half marathons!
I think if you are looking at the Olympics and maximising your potential then you should (probably have) a coach that will outline a path that will allow that to happen. At your level, you can't afford not to tick all the boxes and making sure they're the correct boxes to make the goals happen
Me, my coach & my management all work together to work things out. Some athletes just do what they are told and take no interest in the "why", which is cool... but I like to be involved :)
@@the.distanceproject which makes sense as only you know you. I suppose the tricky part is dovetailing that with the micro-planning that is needed for the necessary marginal gains required at that very stratospheric level and the content creation (which don't stop because it's fantastic!, and although it may be a pain at times, is probably a great distraction technique, from a sport that can sometimes involve too much self reflection!) ......................But then again, maybe they do over-complicate things these days!...Alf Tupper always showed those toffs how to win and he fuelled himself on hard graft and Fish & Chips 🤣, Keep up the great work and content, among the best out there! 👍🦾🏃💙🤍
Good work...why do you start and stop your watch every rep instead of just letting it go?
I don’g stop the watch, I press “lap” so I can see the distance/time/pace for that given lap (rep). It then keeps running during the rest so I can see how long until I need to start the next rep :)
@@the.distanceprojectdo you just start a normal run then do everything with the ‘lap’ button then rather than program the workout into the watch ?
No double threshold :o
Haha not yet no
I, m an old guy so my views are very old school. Wouldn't even think about racing indoors, wouldn't bother with "short course" X Country races - what the hell are they? - but would have a full winter of training and racing 6-7 miles X Country. All the great coaches in running history - Ceruty, Lydiard, Igloi, Gerschler - stressed that winter is the time for strength work. Ceruuty called it "conditioning". Lydiard called it "aerobic conditioning" but it means the same thing.
Run X Country until end of March, April and May speed up, race June onwards. Your winter training isn't all slow plodding so you are not going to get slower if you don't train or race at 800/1500 pace for 6 months. With a good solid winter behind you it should be possible to race pretty regularly from June onwards.
Starting to race from June onwards won't suffice when the Euro Outdoor champs STARTS on the 7th June... so they'll be picking that team in May! Schedules are so different from years gone by, but many of the same training principles remain - I hear you!
Indoors 😅
Soon 👀
My humble opinion would be your a "Miler" from a footballers background a anaerobic athlete. I race cross this side of Christmas short course. Then indoors which you look like you are built for and I think you would go well and make GB team. Also something else is when do you have to get the Olympic qualify time by its Olympic year you might as well go all in. I think you could do it. Never shy away from speed all year round you don't have to race 10k cross to keep the strength.
🫡 good input
I vote 3mm, transatlantic
Love it
'On are getting too much free promo in this video' - Callum immediately after showing two different On products falling apart
😂😂😂
@@the.distanceproject also, in my (pretty irrelevant) opinion, I think it would be beneficial to go with the 2nd option. ie long cross + some serious indoor races. There's enough time post indoors so that the summer build wouldn't be a rush, especially if you're looking at racing in Aug/Sept. Is there any potential for qualifying to world indoors? Not sure what the policy is, but I know Josh and Jake are both ducking it. Good luck with whatever you do and maybe see you at Telford 10k.
Do cross country!
Next few races for sure!
Rome wasn’t built in a day 📈
🇮🇹
"You've basically got to run fast or no one gives a shit"
Facts
please do cross
Next 2 races are XC for sure!
No advice from me cos a) what the fuck do I know and b) you would/should quite rightly ignore it but commenting for the algorithm. Keep up the graft lad
hahah thanks for the comment, keep them coming!
Bloody Achilles and shoe falling to bits. Not a great advert for On
I did also win the British 1 Mile championships in them, so swings and roundabouts as they say! Honestly a very fast shoe, just not durable enough for me.
Got to be Boston mate🦾
Hope SOAR sorted you anew jacket.
👍🏼👍🏼
