Notes-<br>Biomechanics <br>- more steps per minute and less vertical bouncing are good<br><br>Training intensity distribution<br>You’ll run fast if you change up training intensity distribution - spend more time on zone 2 cardio in off season 80% and at least 55% during on season<br><br>VO2 max <br>Strength training can improve running economy- squats, deadlifts, power cleans, Bulgarian split squats.<br>Plyometrics like box jumps and squat jumps help<br>Tempo runs and hill sprints, long runs, and easy runs for intensity distribution speed and endurance.<br>Coordination drills like A Skips, B skips and high knees <br><br>Rest<br>21 days of taper before a race<br>Reload every 3-4 weeks <br><br>Food<br>Carbs are the most efficient way to fuel for high energy running. More carbs the higher intensity you train. <br>If you run more than 60 minutes, eat 30-60g per hour, up to 90 if you’re trained. 2:1 glucose to fructose ratio (most sports drinks)<br>1 gram per pound of body weight of protein per day <br><br>Hydrate <br>0.6 oz per lb of body weight per at and 300-600mg sodium per hour of exercise and 200mg potassium <br>Coconut water is good<br><br>Carbon plated shoes increase running economy by 4%<br>Tracking is good but excessive tracking is bad<br>Supplements: Caffeine, beta alanine, creatine, ketones, beet root juice (& protein)

Holy crap, this video is LITERALLY a complete summary of everything running. This is a masterclass, broken down in a very digestible way. I can’t believe this is a free video on YouTube and not a $500 course, great work dude :) 👍

The most comprehensive and beginner friendly explanation I’ve ever seen on this subject

@KatherineLeCreates · 1 year ago
This is some sound advice! I ran cross country back in school and went from an over 10 minute mile to a 21 minute 5k in 12 months. It was so hard, there was no one but my coach to get info from. Definitely dehydrated, no electrolytes in sight, no tracking! Somehow qualified for German nationals, though. That was how effective training was. Damn hard, though.

I don't think anyone has explained these things SO simply and understandably (and I've been running and doing triathlons for nearly 20 years)! Everyone explains these things, but I feel like you brought them together in a way a beginner to pro can utilize the info. Thank you!!!!

I started running again today, and came home after 8km, and a cramp just in front of my door. <br>Glad to be here
