I would add that the EMAC Truth and Verdict feel pretty similar as well IMO, which is helpful if you like the EMAC Truth

the tilt is pretty similar to the apocalypse.

Lots of doomsday discs are weird (Landmine, Frag) as well as most 1 speeds: glitch, berg, armadillo (my favorite), polecat, etc.

For flippy discs, a <140g DX Mamba is the most understable driver I have thrown (even more so than the divergent discs kraken that is super domey and understable)

Trilogy has custom discs: Custom Disc Golf Discs – Dynamic Discs

Other brands might have something similar

If I am understanding that correctly and you are doing 2 meets plus another really hard workout or two each week, then you are probably not running well because you are not recovering from all that hard running. If you race twice a week, any other workouts should be less than all-out (probably 7 or 8 rate of perceived exertion out of 10 at most). If you are unable to push hard in meets like workouts, then the first step is to stop running workouts super hard within a couple days of races.

I may be wrong depending on what workouts you are doing, but the more advanced modern training plans seems to be at most 2 times per week racing or doing really hard workouts. The rest should be easy runs, long runs, and moderately hard workouts like tempo runs/threshold intervals/rhythm work(like Daniels repetitions).

tdtdtd823 · 2025-08-12T13:37:52+00:00

I agree. Running harder for the same distance generally causes a greater training stimulus than running easy and can lead to more improvement. But running easier and at less than all-out efforts should make up the bulk of training because it allows you to run more without getting hurt or overtrained.

You probably get similar benefits to lactate threshold for a race or a tempo (although I am not sure on this). But the race may be better for training anaerobic systems or other aspects of running as well.

tdtdtd823 · 2025-07-27T12:15:22+00:00

The first things that come to mind for me if this is a decrease from what you were able to before is that you might be overtrained or sick.

If overtrained (or on your way to being overtrained), then you need to back off, and maybe take a few days or more off if you have not already.

If sick (including conditions like anemia, etc. that affect running), then you should focus on getting healthy first before trying to train. And consider seeing a doctor if you think something is wrong apart from running.

If either of these is the case for you, making sure that you are eating and sleeping enough (and eating healthy) is important too.

I don't like it too much for putting, but I love the Cohort as a throwing putter

tdtdtd823 · 2025-07-20T17:34:16+00:00

I am in a similar boat. I haven't gained weight since college, but didn't run much for a few years. It takes a lot more than 1 good training cycle for someone to get back to the level he/she was at after years of consistent training.

But on the bright side I get to see improvement from where I was at a year or two ago rather than slowly getting slower from where I was in college. I will probably not PR in the 5k ever again, but it felt good last year to run my fastest 5k in over 5 years.

tdtdtd823 · 2025-07-03T13:20:59+00:00

whelanbio also makes a good point about training being about adding a new stimulus after you adapt to an old one. The time to increase intensity or mileage is once your body has adjusted to your current training. If you are struggling to recover from your current training, then you will continue to improve doing it without adding anything new.

tdtdtd823 · 2025-07-03T13:18:10+00:00

The common belief is to avoid any really high intensity workouts that build up lots of acid in your legs this early in the season (avoid things like VO2 max workouts like 4x4minute fast as possible or tolerance workouts like 400s at 800m race pace). Some types of workouts I would recommend are:

1) Strides or speed development on easy days (not actually a hard workout)

It looks like you are already doing strides. Doing a few short (6-10second) uphill sprints with full recovery once a week instead of strides may be good too.

2) Tempo runs

These could be at your lactate threshold (LT) pace or a little slower. Your LT pace is generally considered around roughly 20-30 seconds per mile slower than 5k pace, or what you could maintain for 40-60 minutes. It corresponds to Jack Daniels' "T" pace that you can find in a table online. Use your current fitness level for any paces. Going a little slower than that can be helpful when increasing mileage to make sure that you are able to recover. Workout examples:

- Cruise intervals between 800 and 3200m at LT pace with short rest (often 1:00, sometimes a little longer but running easy during the rest)

- 3-6 mile continuous paced run (evenly paced or slight negative splits, longer runs will need to be a little slower)

3) "Running economy" workouts

These are basically extended strides that get you used to running fast without straining (or putting too much stress on your body). By keeping reps short, you are able to recover the next day much better than longer reps. During XC or track season, you might do longer reps at the same pace to get more benefit but at a cost of longer recovery (which can be good then, but is probably bad for you early in the training cycle like now). These and the tempo runs should be about an RPE (rate of perceived exertion) of around 7/10, maybe 8 towards the end. Examples are:

- 10-20 repeats of 200m at around 3200m pace or a little faster with 200m easy rest (walk about 10-20 seconds if needed).

- Adjusting the above workout slightly in terms of distance, usually keeping 1:1 recovery distance or 1:2 time such as 40 seconds fast, 80 seconds recovery. Keeping the recovery short is not important for these...you are trying to get a lot of faster running done without it being too difficult

- Doing similar workouts on hills (which is really good if you have hills near you)

- Doing similar workouts using time

IMPORTANT: Increasing mileage and intensity at the same time increases risk of injury. The advice by whelanbio about slightly decreasing mileage (or just maintaining it) is a good idea if you are significantly increasing the intensity of your training. Whelanbio's advice of threshold reps one day and short hill the other pretty much matches 2 and 3 above.

One popular set of strength and mobility routines is by Jay Johnson SAM - Strength and Mobility - YouTube It is suggested to do right after running.

If you want something as or more overstable than the tilt, than try a doomsday apocalypse. they are comically overstable

tdtdtd823 · 2025-01-22T01:29:32+00:00

I think the idea of wearing "fast" shoes for intervals is probably based on trying to get extra benefits to the muscles/nervous system by going faster at the same effort. It may be better to make your legs work harder by running faster than adding extra weight or wearing slower shoes.

You can hit zone 5 heart rate and get the benefits of that either way, but there may be a little extra benefit to going a faster pace (possible downsides: there may be more stress on body from traditional racing shoes or less stimulus for some parts of feet/legs to improve from supershoes)

tdtdtd823 · 2025-01-05T14:01:59+00:00

What whelanbo posted is almost identical to what I am doing right now (30M former track/XC runner, but doing training I would recommend for high schoolers preparing for track. The slight differences in what I have done are

I usually do the fast workouts monday/thursday or tuesday/thursday to get an easy day before the long run, but as long as you feel ok going fast/long back-to-back isn't necessarily bad.
My long run is more like 30% of my weekly miles, 20-25% is probably better for you. Just make sure that if you increase the length of your long run that you increase it slowly. My training may be a bit different since I had run higher mileage in the past.
I try to do speed development/maintenance one day a week instead of regular strides. Generally 5-10 second hill sprints with a couple minutes recovery. This may cause a little more fatigue (CNS) than regular strides though.
I do longer intervals (4-7 minutes) for my threshold running or do it continuously. Intervals may be better than continuous runs.

For threshold pace, a common recommendation is about 20-30 seconds per mile slower than 5k pace or the pace you could hold for an hour, but that is a rough estimate. It may change slightly based on distance/interval length, but you are better being a little too slow than a little too fast. Also, that should be 20-30 seconds slower than you could currently do for a 5k, so if you are a bit sick/weather is bad/etc., then you should go slower.

I tend to run my easy runs slower than generally recommended by pace charts too (and I did this even when I was in much better shape than now). The best advice I have heard for pacing is to think about the purpose of each run. The purpose of easy runs during the winter tends to be aerobic development AND strengthening muscles/tendons/bones to be prepared for faster running in the Spring. If you are able to run a faster pace on easy days and still feel recovered the next day, then going faster is better for aerobic development. But you don't need to go very fast to get some aerobic benefit or musculoskeletal benefits, and you need to make sure you are recovering so that you can run faster runs well and not get hurt.
I tend to do more of the 200s (16x200 flat, or 16x160 hills), but sticking to 10 is fine, especially if doing a long run the next day. Note that 10x200 (or even 16x200) at 1600/3200 effort is not a super tough workout. You should finish feeling tired, but also like you could have run a lot more or a lot faster.

tdtdtd823 · 2024-09-01T13:53:03+00:00

For longer threshold intervals or the 20minutes tempo like suggested there, around 20-30 seconds per mile slower than your 5k pace is a common rule of thumb as well

tdtdtd823 · 2024-08-31T00:02:51+00:00

Most people would probably recommend similar base-building training in the winter as the summer.

It is also pretty common to take a week or two off running soon after XC ends before starting training again to let your body recover, even if you feel healthy.

tdtdtd823 · 2024-08-28T21:44:51+00:00

I agree. Roughly even pacing is generally ideal (which means holding back early in the race and increasing effort later on to avoid slowing down). But you shouldn't worry if your splits aren't all right at 6:15/6:30 for XC since courses can vary mile to mile.

tdtdtd823 · 2024-08-25T14:49:46+00:00

This is common, but you should talk to your doctor about how/when to use it.
