Prayer increases recovery
Prayer increases recovery
This may only be radical to hobby joggers IDK. Active recovery, lightly touch on all aspects of good normal running except pure hate, duration short relative to your place in your program.
Wrong
Pure hate ALWAYS
The benefits of training hard or even racing in hot weather like 30 Celsius is equivalent to altitude training. Bring ice to keep it safe though and don't expect fast splits.. When it cools down, like a week later, you smash PR's.
dont periodize just do the same basic structure over and over which contains all the training elements necessary
Doubles are vastly underused by non-elites. The hormonal response to training (I won't pretend to understand the science) that causes the positive adaptions peaks immediately after exercise and then declines gradually over a few hours. The level of the response increases with the duration of the stimulus, i.e. time running at a given intensity, but with diminishing returns, so 2x6 miles is more effective than 1x12 miles. I don't think this applies to long runs or workouts as their purpose is to approach our physical limits and reducing the volume would disproportionately decrease the difficulty. But for easy mileage, I think there's definitely a benefit to splitting the total mileage into more shorter runs.
Runners of all levels should cross-train more. The volume a runner can tolerate without injury is limited by the body's capacity to repair damage from repeated impacts. Cross-training allows a higher level of aerobic fitness than possible from running alone. I don't think it's a perfect substitute and running is absolutely essential, but there is definitely a benefit to cycling/swimming on top of moderate-high running mileage.
Static stretching is a waste of time.

Fixed your post for those of us in the southern U.S.
High Mileage. Race 15-20 times a year. One long run and speed workout. Few days off. No periodization. I tried it once and it messed me up.
This isn't really radical but here we go
barefoot runs, at least once every 2 weeks. Great for doubles before or after a workout or hard long run.
A very important aspect of high school success for sub-elite runners, and a pretty important one for the real prodigies out there is training the legs. Whether its simple strength training, primarily lunges and front squats, strides after hard runs to help build that mind-body connection to power through dead legs in races, hill workouts all of this stuff. Build strong tough runners. Summer is the time for a little bit of cross training, but also the time to try out doubles, volume should vary quite a bit. 32 40 42 35 45 35 42 45 40 32 50 40 48 for mileage in the summer is a good idea because you can get used to big volume without leaving you dead for the start of xc.
You missed an important key point here. I never said that being lean was the problem. Rather I said forcing yourself to be underweight with high training loads and restricted eating can create potential problems. There is a big difference between being lean and underweight. They are not the same thing. A person can have very low levels of body fat but have a BMI in the normal range.
If you are still doubting my logic from my previous post look at this article about Elise Cranny. She is currently experiencing much more success as a professional runner than she did in college. This is because in college she increased her milage while failing to take in ample caloric intake because she felt like she " didn't looked like a runner". Consequently, as a collegic runner she suffered from stress fractures that would likely been prevented by proper nutrition. As a result, this forced her to miss training time, holding her back as a runner.

In the "short rest" interval training group I would include the "float run" recoveries such as run by Rob de Castella, 8 x 400 with 200 floats in 35-40 seconds. For shorter recoveries you could have 100m floats in 20-25 seconds.
Those "floats" were more like 45 seconds (3,45/km). That´s still a fast recovery pace after a fast 400.
Total time for the session was about 5k race shape, so 8 400s in 64 plus 8 200s in 40 is about 13:50. Start with a float 200.

What is an idea about running that you believe but is outside the mainstream thought?
For example, I think the upside of more teenage runners training like Jim Ryun is worth the downside of injuries and burnouts.
You can increase your VO2max with only easy training, by skyrocket increasing the volume.
New runners should focus mostly on general athleticism and short intervals. Continuous easy running should come later. Too early an emphasis on increasing volume of individual runs or total volume can retard a young runners progress.
I started doing this a little bit a number of years ago, but 2019 I went “all in” on this philosophy. The result, my runners ended up taking 16 of the top 20 spots at our JV league finals in cross.

Makes in a way sense, as the brain learns quicker as we are younger. I guess this has something to do with brain develepoment, as all movement sequences are generated by the brain.

marathoners need to build up pure muscle strength in legs more than 5k/10k types
In workouts we need to empty the tank more. All the teams I've been on do their workouts at 80-90%...and then are expected to find the last 10-20% in races. I'd argue we need to train for the race and go 100% in training every couple weeks, to teach us how to go 100% in races.
We definitely should be doing the first interval faster than we are comfortable doing. That's how we race. We run the first 400 or K or mile faster, then we settle in. So why do we never do that in training? Train for the race.
All race type work should be in exactly the shoes we race in.

Personally I agree strides are the most useless thing a typical runner does. A few surges when warming up: fine. Fartlek: fine. Strides at the end of runs: pointless. You are not training any physiological system, you are not training efficiency, it is not going to somehow help your body 'remember' to run fast, and it is not going to improve your 'mechanics'.
To improve any of those things, you need to proper training, not some half-baked tag-on.
"Radical" of course is relative, but by far the greatest training stimuli I've discovered is the use of fire ants. Been fortunate to have had access to them both here in the U.S. and where I've lived internationally. On my 'hard' days, after a warm up, I'll change out of my trainers & into my fast shoes on top of a fire ant nest (here in S.W. Fl., they are everywhere). I suppose it's akin to the idea of running on pure hate. Anyway, works for me.
