People that train by time during base, how do you go about upping weekly volume?

Look at watch, see it's 1500, run till at least 1600. Something similar in the morning. You're welcome.

I don't think you read my post right. I'm asking about increasing weekly volume, I understand the concept of time....

I usually go up in 5 minute increments.

...but apparently not basic math.

I set a time goal starting out. Usually 20-30 min hobby jog 5 days per week.

As I get fitter my hobby jog pace gets faster and I can run farther in the same time. Then I'll increase to 45 min at the end of the month. Then after my fitness improves and if there are no aches or pains I'll get up to 60 min.

what???

distance = speed x time

to increase distance, increase time

for example if you want to run further than the x km you ran in 60 min, run at the same speed but run for more than 60 min

if you find another way please tell us

30-60 minutes a week. It’s equivalent to an elite adding 5-10 miles a week.

You run for a longer period of time, duh. Or you run faster.

I’m coming back from knee sugery and a prolonged period off- currently running 45 min extremely easy 4x a week. Every 2 weeks I go up by 5 min. When I get up to 60 min 4x week , will add in a 5th run of 30 min and gradually push that up to 60 min

in one go i will up it by probably something like 3 - 15 minutes of the week. but thats like as a proportion of simething lime 490 minutes so small.

Thought it was pretty obvious they were asking how much more time per week to run when building up. Probably 30-60 minutes depending on the build? Depends

"Up" isn't a verb. When you reduce something do you say you're "downing" it?

+5% per week is ok, but if you already an experience runner you can increase faster up to the base line. Base line it is avg weekly volume for your current fitness (vdot), vdot=60 is about 6h per week, vdot=70 is about 10-12h per week. Of course it depends of a lot of variables: how long you got a breake, or maybe you just started a new cycle, or post injury recovery, how hard injury was... maybe you took break one week after a marathon where you can icrease quickly mileage up to +50% every week... and so on. General rule: +5-10% per week and after 2nd or 3rd week volume step back for adaptation, also general rule is: when you start new cycle (new year, season) try to work with base volume +1h overal increase and build all training with new volume, let say last season you ran 70miles (about 6h per week avg) and you want to start a new season with 7h (about 75-78miles), you slowly build base up to 7h volume and continue work with that volume until your peak, race, etc. I was learning like this from a different respectfull coaches including cycling discipline.

I had an athlete who trained by time in college. He's now a pro training my mileage.

He said he didn't notice a difference. The thing is- you have to start and finish in the same place so basically you're training by mileage no matter what.

If you go out and run for an hour you have to run a course that is going to get you back where you started in an hour- so it's, 10 miles, 11 miles, whatever.

Someone once asked- what if your time is up and you're 2 miles from home?

Yeah I think training by time versus distance is just something a coach might do to make sure an athlete is running their easy days easy and not focusing on getting in an exact number. If you give an athlete an easy hour or 8-9 miles it's more/less the same thing. You're just taking the distance value away. So if you're training by time just think about adding 5-10%. Figure out your total time and do the math. It'll probably get you 5-10 more miles.

You're just plain wrong. 'Up' is a verb. Examples in the Oxford English Dictionary date back to 1583 (for 'upping'). I'll leave it to you to think about what the implications for 'downing' are (hint: you're wrong again).

Just a different way to measure the same thing.

When a runner says they train by time, what they mean is that their weekly mileage might be 52 miles instead of 55 or 50. They aren't sweating being 2 miles over or 3 miles "under" for the week.

I would like to see normal guy who knows grammar admit their mistake graciously. They can still come back from this, it isnt a career ending goof. Arguing their case would cause me to lose respect for them as a forumer.
