  I could really use some advice on how to not blow up in the last 10k of my 10k.

  I just want to say as someone that's followed you for a while. It's really good see that you seem to be a great place!

  This channel is pure gold. Stephen is fantastic! Stephen + Lee Grantham on YT is all you need to become the best runner possible. Only being directly trained by them would make you even better (probably). Thx Stephen!

  I’ve run 6 marathons. All of them in the 160/170 hr range. I think most people racing marathons are running with a much higher hr than you suggest. Love the channel and what you’re doing with SM

  My lesson to keep my hr from blowing up: move someplace flatter.

  This is really valuable stuff, I am exactly in that position, same goals as Spencer and got to <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKYd0ch8x38&amp;t=172">2:52</a> but my goal was sub <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKYd0ch8x38&amp;t=170">2:50</a> so kind of failed. I have been neglecting those paces between <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKYd0ch8x38&amp;t=260">4:20</a>-<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKYd0ch8x38&amp;t=270">4:30</a> indeed, doing only very easy recovery above <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKYd0ch8x38&amp;t=300">5:00</a>/km and faster stuff like the usual 8x1km at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKYd0ch8x38&amp;t=210">3:30</a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKYd0ch8x38&amp;t=220">3:40</a>. Very interesting this idea of pushing LT1 closer to LT2. Was kinda convinced that LT1 would have improved by just doing typical high mileage and easy runs and that’s it

  I only found out when training for ultras that my LT 1 should be in a really good place. That was also when I started to push that and tadaa I was able to also PB in the marathon without running higher volume or pushing LT 2. Oh your golden retrievers are big cute boys :).

  HR training has worked so well for me - will try the alternating tempo as love to mix up the sessions. Thanks for all your coaching advice Stephen 😊

  Where I live it is hilly, so I often see pulse drift because of inclines taking more effort. Makes tracking HR tricky
