I know I should probably cut down on the long run-mileage, but I mean.. Come on now. Don’t just say it to my face like that. Way too real. Great video, tho.
If you run a 5k properly, for example in a race environment, it is mostly anaerobic threshold over aerobic.
Interesting. I use to run a few miles a few times per week. Decades later I’ve decided to run again. I’m also a frequency researcher who uses technology to change the frequencies of my mind/body, especially for any health challenges and more. This technology is also great for exercise recovery. Spooky 2 knows.
Who knew it was so complicated. Im train for aesthetics mainly in the gym and calinasthetics. Twice a week I do 15 mile runs so it’s 50% of my total. I’ll occasionally do a timed 5k tend to get under 18 mins. I feel great after, something I don’t feel as much with strength training.
Why does your mouth taste like salt when you about to throw up
I thought the ‘fire’ feeling in legs was because of muscle tissue ‘microtearing’?
I’m a professional gamer, but I consider myself to be an athlete
I’d love to wear one of those hats while doing my long runs, in this Michigan weather ��❄️����♀️
I am 60 years old and just getting back to running after the summer off, it is a challenge for sure but hell, I have limited time left on the earth. Fast, slower, walking doesn’t matter. I am alive and moving.
Hey, have my first 5k race coming up in 1,5 month. I am decently fast but i cant keep up the pace i like for 5k. How can i get more endurance for 5k? More intervals/hills or more distance running up to 5k and over? Thanks!
What Are the Benefits and Risks of Running in Long Distance?
https://healthyfit07.blogspot.com/2017/12/long-distance-running.html
There was some research out suggesting long runs make you as likely to die as a couch potato. They suggest no more than 3 runs at 5mph. To be honest that too freaking slow to build up any fitness for a healthy young to mid aged runner. That might be a good pace to aim for if you’re starting out… have health problems… or are overweight making running more difficult… but to be honest.. that’s very slow… but for some people its a great start and a million times better than nothing… I think the best health benefit would be gained from doing running as we’re designed too. Why do we run? So we can hunt. How far would you have to run after a deer to exhaust it in the heat of a hot day? That’s probably optimal running distance.
Paul Cook already said this but it’s really bugging me so I want to say it again: how can 20% or even 25% be right from a mathematical point of view? For someone running 3 times per week, their “long run” would have to be shorter than their other runs��
Studies have shown this women has learnt loads of statistics
U have great wrist control. No bounce in that footage at all!
Awesome video thanks for the share! I recently put out another marathon training tip video that would compliment this video well! Overall the goal is to make sure everyone has the knowledge to train for a full marathon safely! Great work!
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kL-QCBOa_pw&index=2&t=0s&list=LLBZVICtFLl8YthxPgy0eL_A
Nate! Are you married?! �� just kidding, you guys are awesome, thanks for your great advices!
I used to run every day, marathon, and triathlon. And now I can hardly walk because of my knees. Go for it dudes!
I love long distance running only for weight loss then I cut down from 4-5 days a week to 3-4 days
I think it is completely unneccessary and even unhealthy for our bodies to be exposed to this amount to exercise.
Recovery is the name of the game, 18 milers are necessary for marathon training but letting your body recover and working on your mobility in the meantime will help you keep your mobility and feel healthier in general.
Great video! I also think it’s worth mentioning that your body doesn’t gain benefit from the act of completing a long run, but from the recovery and replenishment that comes after putting your body under stress during a long run
İyi ve bilgili adamlarsınız. 10 da 1 iniz ülkemde olsa yeter ama yok. Aramızda yüzyıl var sanırım. Ne üzücü.
How do I overcome pre-game anxiety? My long distance running always suffers when my nerves go crazy.
need the long run (2 hrs and more IMO) for the half marathon and above but it does contribute to burnout, adrenal fatigue and burning of lean muscle tissue. As far as long term health I would say long runs or long bike rides for that matter do not contribute to longevity but both can be fun and addicting so maybe as a hormetic therapy pop up the cardio occasionally so the body has to adapt but avoid doing it all the time.
I run 15 to 20 miles every Sunday but there on trails in the mountains.
How do you guys feel about ketosis diets in relation to this? Doesn’t forcing your body into a state of ketosis mean that you’re already starting your race past ‘the wall’? I bet that would mean terrible endurance.
A lot of the ultra runners look about 10 years older than they actually are.
Kipchoge dominated the marathon and posted that his long easy runs are the foundation to his success…
Good topic….concerned about wear and tear on joints with age
How do you guys feel about the training approach thekneesovertoesguy uses for knee strengthening?
Short runs scare me more (5/10k) when you’re running 100% and youre absolutely wiped out when you finish
I am couch based athlete who is distance runner in the spare time.
How would you advise a triathlete? With 3 disciplines (4 if you count S&C), I can’t run more than 3 times a week. If I adhere to the 25% rule, then I would not ever get up to the 8 or 9 mile long runs that I need to prepare for an olympic distance race. I really like your videos. Great content.
There’s a huge flaw in using no more than 20 to 25% of weekly mileage, in that anyone only doing 4 runs a week, 25% would equate to each run, only 5 runs a week and that’s 20%. I’d say a huge proportion of recreational runners aren’t doing more than 4 or 5 runs per week.
Can you simply mix some kitchen salt in your drink used while running (I for example simply take water mixed with a bit of fruit sirup to keep med going) or does it have to be the mix of salts in an energy drink?
I’m eating alot of carbs for a competition which I hope happen one day
New runner, just did 10K for the first time yesterday! 1 hr 4 min. Goal is to work up to a half marathon eventually. Biggest advice I could give, do not go too fast! Find your comfortable pace!! I’m doing a 9-10min per mile pace & that feels good but when I started I was doing 7 min & couldn’t last. It’s OK to go slower! ����♀️����♀️����♀️����♀️
I liked the video because you mentioned some great tips for balancing and managing your long runs, but you didn’t answer the question about whether long runs are bad or not.
Is the science on this conclusive? What if a person is doing all the “little things” like strength training, mobility drills, good dieting, and getting good rest? Are long runs bad then? If a person only runs long distances without the other stuff, is that bad?
Could be a good debate. Maybe provide some studies and research that compare these populations. Your tips are good, but from your video you clearly support long runs as good for us.
My long SLOW runs are more about psychology….I’ve been here (20 to 30K is the worst for me)…I know what it feels like….but I know that there’s still plenty of gas in the tank
So just keep on turning ’em over
I can do pace runs…speed days…hills
(Probably not enough of those)
But I’ve got to prove to myself I can do “the distance”
I typically run when my schedule permits, and based on feel. However, I want to run a marathon to test my limits. On an average week, I run approximately 20-22 miles, broken among 3 runs per week. That would mean a “long run” is actually shorter than what I would normally run…?
I don’t think the title of the article is answered by this explanation contained. “Is running long distance healthy for you?” Buy a copy of Time Magazine’s “The Science of Exercise” from 2018 I think. Dr. James O’keefe, cardiologist and former distance runner reviews the literature. Have a read of his research on pubmed. I have run only 5 marathons in my 51 years on this planet, but I have curtailed my distance running because of this research: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/22677079/?i=2&from=james%20o’keefe%20long%20distance%20running
i love this video i feel more healthy i even fell like running a 1000mile distance!!!!!!!!!!!!!# awsome
Stopped listening after she said lactic acid causes muscle soreness.
Studies has shown that runing burns more energy than fat and actually to burn body fat you need to do steady state cardio:) #justsaying
I can sprint 100 meters at 286 weight. At a 22 mph top end speed. without my knees hurting and I do this on pavement. sidewalks. with a 48.6 BMI. I been training since October 2018. I”ve walked ran. every single day for 8 months. I’m getting gains I also can do 10 manly situps without stopping all the way down and up. WIll you talk to me?
I did 400m × 3 on a steep hill
Followed by 250m × 3 an adjacent steep hill
And wanted to finish with shorter steep but FASTER runs lasting for 25 to 30 seconds. During the 2nd of these I had a very sharp pain like a cramp on a certain point on my left calf muscle, I could not continue and had to limp back home. What is the reason for such a cramp bcoz I was already hot?
How often should you mix these?.. Everyday? A week?.. I mix long distance, internal training and uphills every two weeks. Is that ok?
I know a guy that goes to the gym 6 days a week, is there all day and, doesn’t workout at all.
How is sprinting from 10sec to 2-3min? A pretty good 800m runner can break 2 and you don’t consider the 800 sprinting. Try almost all out sprinting at 400m pace for 2min and see what happens. Also, 800m-2000m is mid-distance because they only usually last for a few minutes or maybe several minutes which isn’t long but isn’t short. Above 2k is distance that’s the way the IAAF organizes it. Also, do you still need sprint training if you’re trading for a 100k hilly ultramarathon? Not trying to be rude just correcting
5k is not hard Rogan you pussy. If you truly care about your health stop all that BS youre doing and go run more often
I’ve heard about some newer study saying that not eating any carbs before a run, but rather eating fat for fuel is better since you won’t hit “the wall” and thus can keep your energy up during the whole run.
Your thoughts on hill repeats vs sprints? With hill repeats being at a slower cadence due to vert. Thanks
crazy to believe i only did powerlifting for 3yrs straight n no cardio! now cuz of the quarintine, im doing more running n lighter wieghts. Did my first 1hr run 6miles n it felt so good! I feel healthier, stronger, n least pain! i try to add 2miles every 2weeks n its been easy! maybe if i keep this up, ill try a 26.2miles marathon! wish me luck
Since I had heart problems and my Cardiologist warned me about increased heart attack risk during Marathon I did read few studies and unfortunately when you’re over 40 years old there’s increased heart attack risk on marathon. That study advised over 40 year old runner to take baby aspirin on the marathon morning to compensate that increased risk.
Also there was another study where they did view hearts of people who has run tens of marathons each. That study found that people who had healthy lifestyle all their lives was in better shape but people who already formed some blockage to their hearts because of earlier bad habits had that still over there and therefore those people are more prone to heart attack. See link below.
I’m not health professional and how this translates to long runs I have no clue but I’m taking my long runs and races carefully and don’t push too much since ultimately my goal for running is staying healthy and enjoy every step:)

Been running 6 days a week since March I’ve lost a stone in weight I can remember way better than ever and my battle with depression has greatly improved. Anyone with long-term mental health issues I really recommend running every morning if possible
Running cured my anxiety..I don’t suffer anymore but I still run 5k..3-4 times a week.
Dr. Rhonda Patrick always doesn’t remember who did the studies she’s talking about. She needs to do more running.
She wants a slice of Rogan for sure. Let’s just say “she wants to put the mic a fist from her face” ����
Even with good form, your knees are gonna regret it when you get older.

Old Rhonda and her “studies”.
“Hey Rhonda, would you like a cup of coffee?”
“Like, well there’s actually a study that shows like, that like I would live a cup of coffee as coffee has been shown to maintain a heart rate between 0 and a thousand beats per minute and also improves the ability to recall your Grandmother’s best friends maiden name.”
I don’t know at the memory thing??? My wife ran out on me 3 years ago and forgot to come back����
Elliptical doesn’t help with running that much. You’d think it would but it’s not enough impact.
I run every day at work I’m a bin man quicker we go quicker we can finish work and get paid all day there’s a lot of bullshit on YouTube
I don’t run, ever. Just lift weights 5 times a week with conditioning sled (push/pull) and carrying sandbags. Ran a 5k and didn’t die. I think joe is being a little dramatic…
I’ve been working on my body the last 5months… and I just started a 30day running challenge
Does anyone get shin pains when running? I started running for a week but the shin pain is unbearable
Jesus, 235 miles!! Isn’t that called ultra-running or an ultra-marathon? My cousin does that, but I’ve only talked to him about it a couple times. It’s such an insane distance, you have to regulate everything so intensely to keep your body moving at a reasonable pace.
All these studies that we waste our money on. Running increases your ability to remember something. No shit! It’s not the running. It’s that you are spending the whole time running thinking about what the fuck you are trying to memorize. These scientists waste all this money on research for things any person could figure out if you just use common sense. Idiots!
So besides pulling that shit up Jamie also runs. Interesting
I only need to run faster then the cop chasing me.��♂️��♀️��♂️
I run over 100 miles a week… running is very easy once you reach a certain level of fitness and strength… I could probably adapt to higher level of volume but I only have a certain amount of energy per day so this is a good volume of training to be manageable and to be as competitive as my level of talent and lifestyle allow me to be
Lmao sitting down she doesn’t look like she runs 3 miles a few times a week.
