Sirpoopy strikes again. FAILS to even manage to break 1:10 for the HM. Yet you guys lap it up and think this actually works as a legitimate training method LOL
Self coached guy in his 40s who has been running for barely 2 years hitting 1:10 is seriously impressive. Besides I think he was suffering with illness too and still ran. That’s getting very close to sub15 shape too.
Anyways I don’t think it matters what you think tbh. The results speak for themself if you look at his progression. You’d have to be not only stupid but extra stupid to believe otherwise.

Where in the world do you live? As where I am a guy in their 40s who just ran 1:10 flat, that would make him in the top 5-10 or so runners in my entire country in masters. I believe sirpoc is in the UK? will also be seriously impressive and he just cruised inside even the new faster London marathon championship standard by a whole 90 seconds. To even be in the championship race for London is remarkable for any athlete and a lifetime ambition for a fraction of the running population.
The question is why WOULDN'T anyone by copying or looking at what he's doing?

If I could have run anywhere near 1:10 in my 40s, I'd have sh@t bricks. I don't think this is the takedown that "he fails again" thinks it is.

The kids are at it again, what was cross country time again?!
The 2024 Aramco Houston Half Marathon Results is on Sunday January 14, 2024. It includes the following events: 2024 Aramco Houston Half Marathon Results and Chevron Houston Marathon.
If it were me, I'd be pretty satisfied with an age group podium finish in any of these races.
He would have finished 2nd for his age group at the Staten Island HM. He wouldn't have done as well at the NYC HM this year, only finishing 6th, losing out among others to former pro runners Fernando Cabada and Kenenisa Bekele.

I’d say the opposite criticism is actually valid. A person with his training history running 1:10 is an extreme outlier. No training method will deliver similar results for most people, so it’s not clear that his training method should be used by hobbyjoggers.

Here to disagree. Whilst I agree sirpoc is an outlier....we aren't all going to go from 18:50, to flat 1:10 runners sadly.....
I hugely disagree with this method not being used for hobby joggers. There is another guy in the Strava group, for instance , who is an American masters runner. He has followed exactly the same routine more or less as sirpoc and has improved a huge amount in national XC race I myself also go to. There are real people, in the real world, actually training like this now. Of course it won't work for everyone. But what does? Yet if you were going to the shop to buy a training program for your hobby jogger lifestyle and were hoping the first one fits you......well this is almost certainly the most likely to give you the biggest gains over a year, versus any other plan you plugged into your life.
Also. Why are we even debating if 1:10 flat is fast? Give me a freaking break. It's probably in the top 0.1% of people running HMs let alone % wise of the masters category. Nobody was calling KI not impressive when the thread started and he was mentioned. In fact people have even been saying lately don't look at sirpoc, look how KI has added in speedwork and he is a faster guy! Cmon, look at the times. We weren't disrespecting KI for only running 1:13, we were marvelling.
Anyway I just had to add my thoughts, as honestly I have been lurking but this thread coupled with the amazing info now posted almost on a daily basis on the Strava group has really changed the way I run!
7:30 hours / 65 miles a week running and no other training, it’s very impressive to get to 70min for a half. The trolls are out as because it’s letsrun, they have become less imaginative of late.
just shows what consistency of training around hour endurance paces does. I know xfactor gets talked about but 5k-HM are weekly paces, running shorter races the maybe the hills are required and the longer marathon to include the long run as the session for the so called X factor session.
not all of us will be running 70mins are two years of this training but improving is all master athletes need

Spot on. I think the X factor here for masters is consistency and a system that allows good adaptations over a long time without breaking down. The biggest issue with most aggressive plans and translating that to masters is all the good work can be wiped out after one training block with an injury or just making you feel absolutely trashed and needing a couple of weeks off. We have all been through it. This is more of a slow burn and slower procfes. But it's the tortoise and the hare. Because you can just keep adding load on and on and stay fresh, you eventually get past the point a more traditional running plan would get you.
JI is a loser just like sirpoc. Crying because they are sick and race bad. Maybe it's just the horrible training schedule. Thousands of post in entire thread yet lexel is only one who has provided any suitable training regime for all.
Tens thousands of guys worldwide run 1:10 as master most weeks. I agree nothing special.
I think thread is disgrace how only non clown lexel be hounded out. Pure jealousy for his supreme ideas.
Lexel > sirpoopy > Lard2Find > Coggan
Lexel post a few pages ago is the enlighten thread needs. He onto something.
Lexel, this is the second or third time now that you have been caught trying to big yourself up. Or trying to put yourself over to the crowd. It's weird, sad and pathetic all at the same time. Just like when you flamed the people you have just mentioned, got trashed for it and then dirty deleted your post a number of pages back now. Then you claimed you didn't. Yet many people saw it and replied to it.
You crave attention. We get it. But you have been exposed time and time again. It's a little odd you decide you need your ideas to be accepted by a bunch of hobby joggers on a tiny corner of the internet. You have basically gone fall JS and almost become the same desperate person trying to cling to what little dignity you have left. Just stop, take a breath, create a new username and start over. It is over for you as lexel now.
