S5E30 Training Switches Im Doing To Improve

Training switch ups 3 differnt

1) Really digging the new speed training method which is the norwegian 4x4. Ive tried a bunch of different styles but for me, this fits me best since I hate track workouts and fartleks give me achellies issues. So with this added in with tempo and hill repeats this should help me greatly by end of summer.

2) I also am fully back on percieved effort runs over heart rate. I tried heart rate training and im absolutely against it. It set me back alot over the last couple years. Its to flawed and personally I think it has people running to slow during runs, I also think its a shady concept coaches use to keep clients. To many variables can affect heart rate each day, if you do the same run 7 days in a row your heartrate will not be the same at same pace each of those 7 days. Percieved effort is so much better as a training model. Some days you can run faster with little effort then you cam on other days. For instance somedays a 8 min pace will seem super hard as if you were running at your race pace with heartrate still in a zone 2 or 3 whereas others it seems super easy, while your heart may or may super high. So effort is a better metric for running over heartrate. I know alot of coaches and elites have also back on board. If you have a coach who is reccomending heartrate zone training get a new one.

3) The other interesting thing im mixing in is eating and drinking more during day so im actually fueld and hydrated. Even during runs and races im actually fueling alot more. And going to more feuled runs. Been testing out new gels and hydration supplements I literally can run a 50k in 5 hours with only 500 calories or less food inake. Im incorporating more food/drinks so body has more feul to use and hopefully allow me run better and ultimatly faster. Its going to be interesting to see the race results.
