RunTraining1 - Training for the time limited triathlete (Jan 31, 07)
RunTraining1 - Training for the time limited triathlete
I’ve been putting a lot of thought into this topic over the last year. A couple of discussions, a little bit of research, a little more experience, and one kick ass training session with a world class athlete who trains on the low volume (relatively) aproach has brought me to a few conclusions (or rather I should say early conclusions). I don’t pretend to be an expert on this, but I do like to throw it out there and hope to open a discussi…
Runtraining2 - The Zatopek Paradox (Feb 6, 07)
Reading Gordo’s gBlog I came across one of his posting where he comments on the internet forums:
“Once you have your simple plan, you may consider pulling the plug on all the chat forums and repeat, repeat, repeat to the best of your ability. Remove the distractions from execution. Make a habit of “doing”.”
“We often think that boards are a meeting place for experts. Quite often, they turn into places were people come to reinforce their existing biases or self-image (particularly “poor me”). W…
Runtraining3 - Long Runs (fast or slow?) (Feb 8, 07)
The Khannouchi Paradox: Long runs are suppsoed to be slow, but he runs them fast and breaks world records.
I’ve read many articles on this subject (most notably one from Pfitzinger in Running Times) and have disussed the issue with a few coaches and competetive distance runners. It was been a long held belief that long runs should be done at 65 - 80% of maxHR pace to efficiently stimulate aerobic development with minimal stress on the body.
However, some of you may have noticed that Khannouchi…
RunTraining4: Training Stresses for Different Workouts (Mar 26, 07)
Disclaimer: Every now and then I get flamed by someone who just has a completely different opinion about training, so I unfortunately feel the need to put out this little disclaimer. Everything I write is based on personal opinion from my experience as a coach, former collegiate runner, and the books and articles I’ve read on running an dtriathlon triaining. As always, my number one goal is to simply open a discussion on the topic.
I’ve seen a couple of rules of thumb out there on increasing…

(yet another training thread disguised as a running thread)
Note - as always, please contribute and call me out when you think you smell BS. Sometimes I miswrite, sometimes I assume too much, and even on rare occasion I’m just plain wrong! ; ^ )
My hope is that most people are well on their way with their fair weather training plans. However, sometimes one needs to revisit exactly what their training goals are…or even if they have any. Here I hope to open a discussion about the benefits and pi…
Runtraining8 - Some tips on improving running form (May 14, 07)
There were a couple of questions about this recently and a couple of PMs, so I thught I’d paste this one into the forum. I’ve included some pretty good videos as well. Enjoy.
1st off, check out this video. Look at the 3 runners about a minute into it.
Note: This is from Frank Day’s website endorsing Powercranks. At this point I have no opinion about the product, and Frank will likely respond to this post to add his endorsement. I will say, however, that his slow-mo videos ARE very good …
Runtraining12 - A simple model to structure your training (Dec 20, 07)
Hi again,
I promised many of you that I’d follow up my last thread on balanced training with one on periodization. There is nothing earth shattering here and, though I’ve been accused of likeing to hear myself talk (and they are right!), I make no claims to bring ground breaking methods. I mainly just want to share some of the fundamentals of tried and true methods that have been used over the years and haev proven to be successful by most athletes.
I’ve also been accused of either “not saying…
RunTraining13 - Track Workouts - How fast, how often, what time of year?
NOTE: Through my experience as a triathlete and the knowledge I have gained over the last few years through talking to many coaches from both running and triathlon, I have come to believe that this thread may be a little misleading. I hope to clarify this in the future and will reference it here once I do. As it stands, I’d recommend this thread only to standalone 5K runners and faster standalone 10K runners. The advice here, in general, is too aggressive for most triathletes.

RunTraining17 - THE FORMULA
THE FORMULA
Hello all. Here’s yet another “controversial” running thread ; ^ ). Feel free to contribute but please qualify your contribution (personal experience, read in a magazine, so & so said, etc) and try to make light, not heat.
I’ve been working on a “formula” (blatantly stealing JD’s idea) to try to better translate the proportions of training one should be doing. About 6 months ago I came up with a rough graphic to explain how emphasis in training should shift away from intensity and …
RunTraining18 - TRAINING TABLES
This is an extension of “the formula” thread (see link below). Its one thing to put the multipliers out there, but I’ve come to accept that most people just plain don’t like plugging in number the way I do. Kids just don’t like math. sigh

So here they are in a table for your enjoyment.
BACKGROUND
The tables are compiled from a variety of sources including books, coaches, and personal experience. The training loads were calculated using rounde…
