I've finally watched the Gareth King interview. Really interesting, but ultimately nothing thats not already known. Lots of easy miles, build a big base, then do some faster sessions, but keep within certain HR's so you don't overdo it. Eat clean, eating what works for you, but don't worry if you lapse on occasion. Have downtime, but remain consistent with your training. Race fast. And the main thing repeated a few times, this is for the long haul, not a quick fix. |

Great summary of my albeit limited experience of ‘training’ One to add maybe from an old mate of mine, a Tipton Harrier and a very good runner: most runners do their slow runs too fast, and their speed work too slowly |

Perfect summary Dave A. That was always my regime, only in the last two years my heart hasn't played game! Luckily, thanks to my logs etc I was put forward for the various heart scans which are usually only done where pain/ obvious health issues are noted. To all intents and purposes my everyday life has been unaffected, it was my HR which first raised my alarm. I'd not run then things wouldn't have been identified. Still awaiting final scan results.

Dave A, yeah, I did mention when I posted that most of it we already know on here. But it was still interesting to me. There are some YouTubers currently that really over complicate everything (it seems to me) with diet restrictions, making up their own gels, taking blood readings during a workout etc, whereas his approach was pretty simple and echoed a lot with me and how I train. His self doubt was interesting I felt, to the extent that he got himself all worked up and not wanting to go to the champs. But when he got there, he smashed it. He seemed a likeable chap and I just felt he kept everything quite straight forward, whilst juggling family life, work, etc. There’s a similar interview from the same channel from a few years ago, with Jonathan Walton. I’ve not rewatched it since it first came out but I seem to remember that was good as well. |

Yes, a very simple approach, which worked. But he was also good not to be preachy, but say he simply did what worked for him.

Not sure whether it's necessarily true that most runners do their speedy runs too slowly, although I suppose it depends very much what cohort you're talking about. I do get the impression that a lot of serious runners buy into the 'no pain, no gain' idea and do loads of 400m reps, say, at a really fast pace, where they would probably ultimately gain more if they kept it below 5K pace.

I'm somewhere in between on that philosophy. I definitely used to do my slow stuff too fast, and now I tend to do my slow stuff only a bit too fast, but slower than I used to. My fast stuff I do tend to do as fast as I can so I'm on my knees at the end (buying into the no-pain, no gain machismo stuff) *but* I've never learned how to run properly run fast. I think it was on marathontalk when Tom W was trying to break 5 mins for the mile when he realised what a different skill it was compared to what he normally thought of as fast running. |

The great Steve Jones kept training straightforward. There was little, if any focus on fancy systems/diets back in the day and generally running times were better/faster. A. clever industry has been built up around running which has profited those with astute financial leanings!

Ive put in a request to have your % of MHR on a run in the topboxes on an activity. Wouldn't that be neat? fetcheveryone.com/featurevoting?sort=id&keyword=1571 Not everyone has correct MHR set for sure, but if you have, it's a nice comparison in different efforts. |

Very general question about HR which you all may know the answer to. Does bodyweight in itself impact resting HR? ie. if you put on a few pounds, say over christmas, would you expect resting HR to go up too?
