David45's training thread

increase the rep count by 1 per week at minimum. then after 10 or so weeks, slow down and only increase rep count by 2 for every 2 weeks.

I love how he's going around on the running subreddit like some sort of expert now. He can tell people what to do but refuses to do anything people tell him to do.

Should I increase the number of intervals by one per week?

Sure, you could do that. You'll probably get bored doing that by the time you get to 10-12 x 350m several weeks from now. You should do 700m intervals (2 laps) sometime at a pace where you can maintain the same pace for the whole 700m to help get a feel for running faster for longer.

What pace are you running on your easy days now?

12:30. At that pace, my HR is 150 BPM

Are you getting any cross training in? Foam rolling, dynamic warm ups (trunk rotations, arm circles, leg swings, etc.), form drills (lunges, skips, high knees bounders, butt kicks), band drills, abs, and yoga?

I don't get it.

Also, OP, how are you breathing during your runs?

This is all obv a very great troll job ... I was in the army and EVERYONE got in at least a modicum of running shape ... just zero chance if really running some that he runs 12:30s....

Since hrs obviously making up numbers no it wouldn’t be hard for him. Answer this, when have you ever seen a skinny 18 year old jogging 12:30 pace ever, nevermind one who’s been running 20 mpw for 2 years now. You haven’t!!

Because you are out of touch of reality.

Do you have cerebral palsy or some other physical health issue?

My lungs are straining a little, and my breathing is somewhat loud

How is warming up supposed to help you with your heart rate?

check your ferritin levels.

There are literally books on how and why cross training and warmups improve running. Further, every elite running group does this stuff. Why would they waste time and energy on stuff that doesn't help?

As for your breathing, are yo doing anything different than usual when you run? Rhythmic breathing? Breathing through your nose etc?

I do rhythmic breathing, but I don't just breathe through my nose because I can't get enough oxygen.

I just did 5 sets for intervals today at around a 6 minute per mile pace

if u dont mind answering (im just curious) -

how long were the intervals and how long was the rest

5 x 350m with 2 minute rests? That's good. On your steady run days between interval days forget about easy pace and 12:30 miles. Run for 30 minutes at a moderate to hard effort. You're not fit enough for easy days between hard days. That's a recommendation for more advanced runners.
