@DavidDack I ran a very aggressive 3 day a week running plan for a marathon build. Peak week was 3 x 20 mins threshold. 10 x 2 mins 10k pace. 20 mile long run with 18 at MP.
I was destroyed. CNS fried, hamstring tendon gone. But extremely fit at threshold effort
@DavidDack Haha yes. I developed a low hamstring tendonopathy which took around 3 months rehab and get back to proper running.
I’m actually currently building frequency and making my way to 5 runs per week before starting my 12 week 10k block. My sessions are less brutal while I build.
@Jato_BZ@JoePostingg Mine wasn’t advice, it was just my thoughts seen you were using questions marks throughout your tweet. I also hire coaches as I’m no expert either
@Jato_BZ@JoePostingg Slightly different stimulus I’d assume. 8 x 1Km with 2 min jog will be more threshold. For a 5 x 1Km at 5K pace I’d like to see no more than 60 secs rest.
@tim_roozendaal I definitely think there’s a good balance to be struck like you say.
I didn’t wear them at all in my marathon build apart from my HM tune up. My theory was if I can run MP without them, I’ll be fine on the day.
I feel it backfired a little and it felt weird running MP in them.
