>Advice for new runners:
- Build up speed and mileage SLOOOOOWLY (start with 15 minutes, increase mileage at most 10% per week);
- It will feel like you're going slow, you are; don't worry about setting good times for a couple of months;
- If you start to feel pain anywhere, stop and rest;
- Don't try to copy what pros are doing. Do what feels natural; and
- Once you can comfortably roon 6 miles/10km, start thinking about a goal in terms of race distance and time, and look for a training plan for that goal (see below for suggested plans).

Triple Prowler Half
Elevation killed me. At times I was going so slow it wouldn't even register a pace. Flats and small inclines, I was still maintaining 8:30. Only ever other half I did before was with two kids, and I did at 2:07 with ~250' total elevation. Couldn't even enjoy the downhill portions because rain earlier made it too slick to send it.

He's probably saying most runners have too much upper bodyweight, which is true if you only care about maximising your running performance. Most don't, and that's okay. I wouldn't recommend NSA to the average gym bro as you'll atrophy your lifting gains away on 6/7 days a week of running.

Garmong vo2max is fradulent, you can get it up by spamming 200m intervals every day.
Essentially if it sees a low heart rate at fast speeds it rewards your vo2max. By spamming short intervals you don't give your heart enough time to go up so can cheat the system.
For a better vo2max score use https://vdoto2.com/calculator/ and input a recent race result

NSA stands for Norwegian Singles Approach, it's a recent method developed by a semi-pro UK cyclist time-trialler who applied the training from cycling to running.
The general idea is to minmax recovery and training load each week, which is something most running plans don't do very well. In NSA you do three sub-threshold workouts a week and a long run and complement it with 3 easy runs (or 2 if you only run 6 days a week). The theory is that these three workouts outweight the traditional two workouts in most programs (e.g. a vo2max interval session and a threshold session) while being less intense, resulting in lower fatigue and injury risk.

The guy who invented it went from 18:50 to 15:01 in the 5K in two years after being hard stuck at 19 minutes for a year following traditional programs. He also ran 2:24 in his debut marathon in London this year despite bad weather.

That's the tl;dr, if you're interested in training this way I recommend reading this: https://sites.google.com/view/sub-threshold/home

Appropriate training paces can be found here: https://lactrace.com/norwegian-singles

If you're reaaaally interested there's a 300 page letsrun thread you can read: https://www.letsrun.com/forum/flat_read.php?thread=12130781

Elite marathon runners are 5'7 on average, which is what the 180 spm cadence derived from. If you're 6' tall, you would expect a cadence of 165 spm. I hope you haven't been doing 180.

Under 6 days you have enough time to recover from harder sessions e.g. vo2max so NSA isn't optimal. Though IMO the injury risk of this is higher still.

You'll probably still make good progress with 2x subthreshold + 2 easy + 1 long but you might be able to get away with 1 subthreshold + 1 vo2max + 2 easy + 1 long instead, see how your body feels about it.

Thinking about it more, actually 3x subthreshold + 1 easy + 1 long should be better than anything else, as the main benefit of NSA is the third workout which very few other plans have. I'd go with that.

A VDOT score is very explicitly NOT a VO2max:
β€œVDOT is closely related to VO2 max, which is the maximum amount of oxygen your body can utilize during intense exercise. However, VDOT is a more practical measure for runners because it considers factors like running economy (how efficiently your body uses oxygen) and race mentality, alongside VO2 max”

Distance or just getting faster?

Got to 5k at 33 min after a few weeks of running. Should I keep pushing the distance or trying to run faster? I know I should probably build base but I'm quite obese (124kg) so I'm worrying about fucking my joints. Goal is really to get faster at altitude. When doing alpinism I get super winded around 4000m+, I would really like to do some higher altitude stuff before my heart gives out eventually (in family). I image just getting higher aerobic capacity is the way here, and that is built by running quite fast right? Hence I'm thinking about just not going longer just trying to go faster.

Regular measurements of your heart rate at specific paces (measured via chest strap), as long as you hold the pace for 1km+. Measured repeatedly across dozens of runs across weeks.

A race performance just tells you the time you ran on a specific day. Can be affected by weather conditions, course elevation profile, sleep quality, injury, illness, race day mentality, crowding. Even how hard you try.

Some people race at 10/10 RPE, some people race at 7/10 RPE.

Oh, nice. Shin splints = strengthen other parts of leg (clamshells are great for shin splints)

make sure you have strong glutes as well

stretch before warming up before running. this helped with pain during runs for me so much. stretching afterward is good but doesnt have to be as serious.

uhhhh what else Oh yeah try running listening to a metronome to imrpove cadence. to improve form try jogging in place and then just lean forward. don't cross midline with arms. relax shoulders and have fun.

runner's knee/shin splints generally indicates weakness in other areas of the leg that need to stabilize before during more impact.

AND GET FITTED FOR PROPER SHOES DAMMIT. go into a running store, explain your needs, and get fitted. i swear, proper running shoes are not a big meme they really do help.

I'm pretty flexible and try to be diligent about stretching, but I'm not sure how to stretch that part in particular. I can bring my foot to my rear and pull on my foot/ankle but it feels like I get more of a thigh stretch than anything to the front of my shin, though it does relieve the pain a bit when it starts getting bad.

I used to have even worse problems, now I have some Asic Nimbus 18s or something in a wide size, though they're a few years old now and I should probably get some new ones that aren't worn out. Are inserts generally recommended or no? Way I understood inserts was that they were generally frowned upon for being a crutch which hinders muscle development, but I've had this problem for over a decade and it hasn't improved so I think I might just be special needs in that area with my high arch.

>muh fat loss!!!
No, fat loss so happens to be a consequence of doing the activity you enjoy doing. Just like the strength training exercises I do for enjoyment so happen to help benefit my running.

You can add resistance bands to the clamshells and also eventually side planks with a leg lift are killer.
>how to stretch
look up a YouTube video. there's plenty of good stretches, everyone has different stiff spots but most commonly hamstrings. calves are neglected in stretches, make sure to get those too.
>midline
imagine there's a line that marks the absolute middle of your body. when you swing your arms back and forth between those planes, you get tired and lose forward momentum. try not to cross it, and you'll feel less tense and like you're 'fighting' the movement.
>shoes
definitely get new ones, shoes do age. talk to the shoe store employee about the arch and inserts. I don't struggle with that personally but my friend had some success with hers. can't give much advice there. track the miles on your new shoes, generally rec'd to replace every 500 miles

Running shoes are for the most part a meme. Yes, I agree you should get a fit but you could go on comfort. Too many companies jump on bandwagons like minimalist and pronation. I got several fittings done, and every time I was "overpronating." Bought shoes for it, and was injured more until I started talking to a physical therapist who specializes in endurance sports who literally just told me to go with what's comfortable. Surprisingly enough, the injuries went down even with cheap ass shoes like Saucony Excursions. When I did get injured, it was almost always for stupid reasons like me changing my natural foot strike (mid to fore), falling for a meme like minimalist or 180 cadence (my natural is 165-170), doing too much intensity, or some other ego related issue.

Strange. Anyway, thanks for the help. Any recommendations for what I should do on off days? Yesterday I ran (and walked) a couple miles. I went out today and just walked to see how it would feel, and even that had my shins on fire after like half a mile. It got a little better after pushing through and jogging a bit. But it got me thinking I should probably just run back and forth across the grass at the park near me rather than running around the neighborhood on the sidewalk. And that I should freshen up my shoes.

freshening up shoes would probably help, and maybe try compression socks! really helped me when I was sore. also try resting more than you think you should for a few weeks, then gradually rebuild to what you've been doing

What kind of running should I do to get faster at dirt bike racing? My races are 1.5 hours. Right now I'm just going slow to get in shape but once a week I pick up the pace for a 5k @ 10/mi. When I'm in shape I can do a 25 min 5k.

Def socks > sleeves. Socks give more consistent compression and prevent blood pooling with the two holes leg has to go through. I really like my Bombas socks, but they're expensive. You can probably find some cheaper on Amazon. Thinking of socks makes me have to shill the feetures max cushion running socks, they're also expensive but holy fuck i love them lol.

Ideal is what works for you based upon your physiology and how well each component can handle the stress. Usually your natural is best. Midfoot so happens to be "best" because it tends to spread out the stress more evenly while notbusing as much energy. I switched to forefoot because I fell for the running meme that was going around here. Even running with a light weight vest was a meme here for awhile because some trail runners here were getting good times, they saw they were wearing hydration vests during their long runs, so decided wearing a few extra while running = OMG I'M GOING TO BE A FAST ROONER!! Thank fucking goodness I didn't fall for that one.

I agree with that last part. Getting fitted does mean on size as well including toe bix widtg. The main issue I have is most who do the fittings are just salesmen who don't do a proper fitting. They may watch you on a treadmill (and they may have you do it barefoot, which may make you unconsciously forefoot strike when you are a midfooter, which will affect your mechanics even more since yiur natural stride is slightly affected by the treadmill itself) and think since you slightly lean to the edge of your inner feet turned slightly inward means you pronate and therefore need $160 shoes that give you an 8mm offset to correct the pronation.

Just remember that if you must walk then walk uphill, but do try to get your cadence going from the very beginning.
It's bad running form but I find that running almost side-to-side with the feet like you're hustling up with a zig-zag motion is easier than trying to scale it directly up with proper form. Online there have been suggestions to "fall forward" so you could try that otherwise.

Core strength is essential to form, essential to preventing injury anywhere along the kinetic chain e.g. knees, even some stomach cramps, and doing this routine instead of crunches or planks will actually teach your body athletic movement.

Every day for a month! Maybe every non-run day! If you can't complete, reduce the time or add rests but don't remove the exercise! I swear!

Next fix you ass, hamstrings, and lower back, but one thing at a time! You really won't believe how your body is capable of moving.

A state just below your second lactate threshold, typically a 5-6/10 on the RPE scale. A comfortably hard effort where your body is producing lactate but not enough to cause significant fatigue.

In the broadest sense, it’s zone3 running.

Not quite an easy pace, but not really hammering either. It builds aerobic capacity and trains the body to process lactate more efficiently.

The Norwegian method holds that this pace should take up about a quarter of your weekly mileage.

I got this book Easy Interval Method and it's pretty cool, seems quite similar to norwegians singles approach and has a ton of room for flexibility
whoever said that it was just interval sessions every day and that it wasn't sustainable has definitely not read the book, I won't go into details but that is not the gist of this training method at all, quite the opposite
he preaches sub-threshold paces
basically what I gathered is the difference between this and NSA is more interval days (if you're far enough into training, like several years of running under your belt, otherwise it's like 2-3 sessions per week and even suggests for novices to do 30 seconds of running 1 minute of walking for a few months)
I lost my train of thought
anyways, the sessions are shorter and longest rep would be 2km which is only recommended for advanced runners, otherwise its 100m, 200m, 400m, 1km
at easish paces and more recovery than working time
ie. you run 200m at your 3km pace then you walk 200m for recover and repeat that for 10-15 times
then take a day or 2 to rest, which could also be filled in with easy (low zone 2) runs on rest days with a 30s speed surge every 1km or so
basically just advocates against long slow steady runs to keep the muscles reactive and fast but never overloading them and never building up too much lactic acid
smooth n fast

The reason NSA works for so many people is it perfectly balances stress and load on a tight schedule (1 hour per day). People have tried over the last two years to come up with a better weekly schedule on 5-8 hours that can generate more load without eventually falling into a fatigue hole and all have failed.

Essentially how I got to this point was doing C25K and then bridge to 10K and that ended up with me running for a set hour at my current pace and I end up doing 3.5 miles instead of 10K

But if it would be better to just increase the time I'm running instead of going for more speed then I could try that

I always find intensity a much bigger contributor to injury risk over volume. When building a base after some time off I have no trouble going from 0km to 60km/week of slow easy runs in 2-3 weeks, but the moment I add in slightly too much speedwork I start to feel the niggles.

So working in reverse it makes sense to reduce the speed of workouts (or turn them into easy runs) before cutting back on volume.

The only thing that changes it up is if there are big elevation changes over the course. But overall I’d say overall try and keep your pace fairly consistent maybe at most go from 3:25 for half and then aim for a 3:20 pace after that with a last mile-ish all you got left. Unless your training block is bad, or you have an injury, I think you got 3:22 based on your half time. One thing I found is my second marathon was a lot easier than my first despite being faster because I had done one. Kind of a mental thing. I went from 3:48 to 3:11 in about 18 months.

As long as it isn't too hard at the moment then you could add some faster sessions. Find a training plan that has your general time spent running and some easy/hard days throughout the week.

You will probably find that if you add hard days, you'll need to run your easier days even easier to properly recover. That means a 1 hour run but you might not complete 3.5 miles. That's OK, very easy running is still good for you and will lead to improvements. If you find yourself fatigued day after day or you are starting to get injured, you'll know your combination of volume + intensity is too much for you. Back off until you've found the training load you can handle.
