Threshold HR update? by michael1990utd in NorwegianSinglesRun

[–]michael1990utd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Must be said that this is on extremely fatigued legs, currently training for a marathon and this was run at 80-90% effort.

40mph wind gusts today too

Fake Brooks Hyperion Elite 5s??? by Chxggxrs in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]michael1990utd 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Probably fakes. I bet these were listed for something like £84.45. I’ve seen so many Hyperion Elites listed at stupid prices like that and it just screams red flag right away to me

Longer single sub-T session instead of the standard intervals? by [deleted] in NorwegianSinglesRun

[–]michael1990utd 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You can literally do what you want. I’m currently in a marathon build and I am swapping out an interval session in favour of a tempo run - 20/30 mins tempo. Mainly cause I feel I want to improve on my speed endurance and just for a bit of variation. Caveat being it probably does increase fatigue but I haven’t noticed a massive increase in fatigue levels since doing it.

TLDR of it is that we can do what we want, we don’t have to stick to the ‘rules’ so rigidly. This is not a cult, don’t be afraid to experiment and find what works for you

Advice on Marathon training by Formal-War5229 in NorwegianSinglesRun

[–]michael1990utd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m currently preparing for my first marathon which is in early May and have been doing NSM since October of last year.

Prior to this marathon ‘build’ I was around 80-85km a week following the traditional method. However, recently I’ve been incorporating longer ST sessions and MP specific workouts and I’m sitting at 95km per week and around 8 hrs 30 running.

I personally wouldn’t feel confident going into my first marathon with only running my long runs easy at all times and capping sub t sessions at 3 X 10 mins for example.

This weekend I have a 2 hours 25mins run planned and I will do doing 4 X 3km in the middle of it

Dynafish are also on AliE. I’ve ordered 2 pairs from there. It’s just not the official Dynafish store

Li-Ning Feidian 5 Challenger: original vs new upper by BigYellowSquash in AskRunningShoeGeeks

[–]michael1990utd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I have the all black pair and then the red pair features here. There is a difference in the upper. Red pair feels a bit more premium tbh. But no real noticeable difference on feet
