Training For A Marathon | How Many 20+ Mile Long Runs Should You Do?
Video taken from the channel: The Run Experience
Age requirements for the marathon vary. Some races allow runners as young as 7 years of age, but most require that runners are at least 18 years old on race day. Age Requirements for Shorter Races Runners who are too young to run a full marathon may choose to participate in a shorter race.Nov 6, 2014 At the 2008 Olympics, the men’s marathon was won by 21-year-old Sammy Wanjiru and the women’s marathon was won by 38-year-old Constantina Tomescu-Dita.
That prompted a lot of talk about.All participants of the Marathon must be at least 16 years of age. All participants of the Marathon Relay, International Half -Marathon, or U.S.Only Half-Marathon must be 14 years or older.
A review of dozens of different marathons around the United States show that many of them put forth a requirement that runners be 18 years old. A few others set the bar at 16. A few more suggest 14 years old as the cutoff. A couple races don’t have age requirements, but do require parental consent.
If you’re an avid runner and enjoy competing in races, you might set your sights on running the 26.2 miles of a marathon. Training for and running a marathon is a notable achievement.”For these runners, significant age–related losses in endurance performance did not occur before the age of 50. Mean marathon and half–marathon times were nearly identical for.Age of Participation Requirements.
Marathon distance: Minimum age requirement will be 16 years of age on race day. Half marathon distance: Minimum age requirement is 13 years of age on race day. Marathon Relays: The participation of any runner under the age of 12 is strongly recommended to comply with the following consideration.The minimum age you have to be in order to qualify is 18, or else you will not be able to register. Your age is based on how old you are at the time of the marathon.
For example, you can register when you’re 17 if you turn 18 before the actual marathon. 2.Minimum age requirement for the Boston Marathon is 18 years of age on race day. Though the B.A.A. will email registrants upon the completion of their form, runners are not officially entered into the race until their qualifying time is verified.
This length of time may vary and can be as long as several days, depending on the qualifying marathon.You have to be 18 yrs old to run any of the Marathon Majors (NYC, Boston, London, Berlin, Chicago) with the exception of Chicago (16 yr old age requirement). All of the Competitor Rock n’ Roll.
The age-grading tables specify an age-factor of 0.9989 for 33-year-old male marathon runners, meaning that Kipchoge’s performance is considered superior to that of a younger athlete, who would have to run 2:01:31 to achieve the same age-grading percentage. At 25, with an age-factor of 1, Kosgei does not benefit from an adjustment.If you haven’t run a marathon by your 50th birthday, you may think that opportunity has passed.
Think again. “While aging may make it harder to recover from extreme exertion, that doesn’t.1) Marathon: Over 19 years of age on the day of the event (Field size: 37,500 runners) 1-1) General participants Runners who can complete the course within 6 hours and 40 minutes. * Runners with disabilities who find it difficult to run without support should run with a guide runner (running with a dog/ guide dog is not allowed).About the age of 12 years, children can run a half-marathon.
Should they? It depends. There are some things working against them.
First, kids’ bodies aren’t built to keep up an even pace over a long stretch, so the energy cost is more demanding than for an adult. In other words, they expend more energy than we do just to maintain pace.To Run My Best Marathon at Age 44, I Had to Outrun My Past After 20 years of long-distance competition, I ran my fastest.
All it took was tech, training, and a new understanding of my life.

I’m not a runner, my legs weren’t made for it, but I’m a mountain biker, starting today I’m gonna do the same thing but on a bike
As someone who got 140 pacers I feel like a could go for about a mile max
You should also do this everyday in 1 year 100 Pushups, 100 Sit Ups, and 100 Squats.
I thought my running form is bad but when I saw these 2 women I realized I am not 0:50
1:12
This wad good ������������❤️ thanx ill keep in mind sir. ����
Excellent advice. Running my first marathon soon. I’m finding out all these things in my journey.
Run on a fatigued leg is the takeaway for me here…I’ll practice that. I have my first full marathon coming up exactly one month from now, finished Ironman 70.3 late Oct and a half marathon coming up on 17th of Nov…except I’m planning / practicing interval runs and hill runs…thank you
Brandon, I would say a beginner runner just simply should not do a marathon. Period. Why can they just do 10ks and half-marathons at the most????
Ran a 3:15 marathon on only 35 to 40 miles a week. That included several 16 miles, and just one 20 miler.
When it gets recommended a year later
“Hey Liam finished another lap?”
Thank you, beautiful BBC people! Listening to you makes me younger ������❤❤������
Liam has achieved a goal.
his thighs are officially thiccer then mount everest
Thanks Sage for all the training videos. Currently my marathon time is 4.15. Is it possible to finish in 3.30 after a year of training
Have these people never run before in their lives or what??? I’ve never seen such a bad form!
Great advice. It’s daunting to do your first 20, but well worth it!
What a fantastic facelift have you made to news review �� you just need cups of tea
2 more years of that with some 100 squats, 100 sit-ups and 100 pushups and you will beat anyone in a fight
Oh and also, don’t forget to make your hair bald
Be nice if they would sell some shirts or something. I’d wear them during my races.
Really grateful for the staff u provided us with.u ‘r a valuable source to learn the language in its suitable context.big thanks and big up����
You just imagine all the changes your body go through to be able to uphold this pace for a half marathon, let alone marathon.
Thank you for all thoses videos that are provided by bbc learning english it help us to improve our language and skills
Ran The Sfo Marathon last July. It was my first marathon. Had a 3 hrs 51 mins. While I was training for the marathon, i just did one 20 mile training and it was three weeks before the marathon. Love your videos, regards from El Salvador
This is interesting as I started running when I was 36 (basically 2 years ago)
i’ll be 16 in a few months. I am really good at sprinting so do you recommend my running long distance? Like for my 10k at max is quite good
If this guy play football/soccer damn he would be unstopabble.
1,194,417,975 Comments it says lol wow. I ran as much as these people did before for the half marathon as they did for the full marathon.
Runners? I must be a pro then lol, I have better form and I just run for fun, this people have terrible running form.
I just got my latest issue of Runner’s Magazine and saw you inside!
Running keeps you fit and healthy and it help your blood circulation then you look younger
I’m alway your supporter Georgiana and Neil love you guys very much �� ��
Interesting. I love long runs and I hate track/speedwork. I’ve been running marathon + distances every Saturday since June and I’m definitely getting faster. Maybe I’d improve more if I did intervals and tempo runs but I think there’s an argument to be made for just doing what you love.
I wouldn’t advise this and fully support Brandon’s viewpoint but I just thought I’d share this with you.
As a teenager in the 80s myself and my friend were always active but never did any formal training; enjoyed going for jogs, playing football, being active all day long but no serious training.
At age 15 years we both decided we wanted to set a challenge for ourselves so we decided to do an unofficial marathon for charity.
All our friends said we couldn’t do it but we were headstrong and decided to prove them wrong. We both decided that 3 weeks would be enough time to train for it (very little information available to research marathon training unless you were willing to wait 6 weeks for a book to become available at the library).
3 weeks went past and we had both run a maximum distance of 13 miles by the end of the 3 week training period. All our friends said at the time that it was impossible for us both to complete it so young and with so little training, but come the day of the marathon we were both full of confidence and had no doubt we would achieve it.
After what seemed like an eternity running we both finished it in around 3 hours, 45 minutes we weren’t going for a good time but thought we’d see what time we would get out of interest.
At the end of it my legs felt like lead and it took 5 days before I could walk normally again. I wouldn’t advice anyone to do this but just thought I’d share it with subscribers. Furthermore, when I was 13 years old I broke my left arm and had a full cast on from wrist to shoulder….I always loved running and begged my P.E. Teacher to allow me to compete in the 200m….reluctantly he said yes, but to stop if I got any pain (Health and Safety Risk Assessment Complete) and I went on to win the 200m race pumping my other arm like crazy….it never entered my head I couldn’t run with a broken arm, I just thought keep it as still as possible whilst moving everything else as fast as possible. Definitely the can do culture of the 80s was in stark contrast to the over cautious, risk averse culture of today, but definitely the best way re marathon training is to be patient with training and ideally take a year or more to train from scratch, building up your aerobic base ������
Please, take a look on the video’s description, because is different of cuts, taking on and reverse.
The lady in the sandals and blue shirt needs a pair of Xeros ��
Awesome as I’m about to head out for my long run for my 42km trail race next month. I will do a couple of 30kms which is cool for a trail race but would do 3 x 32km for a road marathon. Thanks for this Nate
Sage great video. Waiting for a training talk on this subject
I train according to time, my longest long run is 3h30. I did my first Comrades this year as well:) I was wondering what your thought is on back to back long runs and how long should they be? Thank you for all your videos they really do help allot with my training here from South Africa!
About 6. My best cycle I ran a 100k 6 weeks before my marathon. In the 6 weeks before the marathon I focused on speed since I had such a good base. But the number of 20+ mile runs is dependent on the individuals background and what they are trying to do.
I ran my first marathon a few months ago and my longest run was 30k (18.75 miles) which I ran in about 2hrs 30mns. I don’t think you necessarily need to run 20+ miles, but I guess it depends on how fast you are. What really worked well for me was to include intervals at around 10k pace during my long runs to get my legs really tired before I practiced my marathon pace. And I actually ran my marathon way faster than the “marathon pace” I trained at during my prep ( I was aiming for 3’45 but ended up running it in 3hrs 23mins and I’m a woman).
Cut:reduce
Taking on:challenge yourself to do something
Reverse: change something to its opposite
Thanks Sage! Been running for 1 year and can definitely see the benefits with mileage!
Why did all the asians kept on falling ��, was it done on purpose?
If I’ve had a long break from running, like I recently have had and only done up to 10 km’s (6.2 miles to you US Americans that still uses mesurementsystems from the Middleages ��), I take two half-marathon races a week apart, then a 32 km training run at slow speed and then finally a half-marathon race one week before the marathon.
If I’m strugling with my strengh, I put in a 28 km run between the first and second half-marathon race.
So either I do four weeks of end-preparation or five weeks.
But building the base before the end-preparation periode takes a lot longer…
For the ultra runs, I from time to time do 4 6 hour runs at really low intensity. Its about keeping rytm with drinking and eating from the vest and working steadily when in the “pain cave”.
And also I have found that if I do not do this regularly, my feet seems to loose strengh really fast.
Oh, and I just love to run…
Exercise can not only make your heart younger, it can help your brain too as we discussed in another News Review. Watch it now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eRqYUTA5JJo
*How many Marathon paced (long) runs?
Seems to me the science says you get all the benefits from long slower paced runs, or faster tempo runs.
I think “running” a marathon and “racing” a marathon are 2 different things and you can train differently. For most, a 20 mile run will put them on their feet way to long time wise. You can always break the longer run into 2 runs like 10 on Saturday and 10 on Sunday. You get more practice with fueling, your will still run on tired legs but you may not break your form as much as one 20 mile run. Recovery is much easier if you split the mileage as well.
Longest I did was 16 miles before my marathon. I was supposed to do my first 19 mile run last week but ran through to 26.2! Probably could been faster with more training but I felt good and wanted to do it!
His sub-2 hour marathon is probably the great single athletic achievement of all time
I would always try and get comfortable with 22 miles but this cycle will be focusing on a 100k week, 4*25. I’ll still do 2*22 mile but the main deal is the 100.
I look forward to watching the news review program every week. It’s pretty helpful for learner.
All the speakers are extremely good at teaching!
I Will not enter a marathon, until i can run sub 29:30 for 10k
It’s crazy amout of miles for a beginner, even my 10 miles today seemed like eternity and i’ve been running for a few years now.
I’m a bit late seeing this video, but glad I did! Thanks for posting it. I’m 61, and have running competitively for about 50 years.
For a runner my age, I guess I fall into the higher mileage camp, running about 60 miles per week on average. Although I enjoy distance running (I ran the 180-km trail around Mont Blanc last July), my passion is really middle distance track, and I hope to break 2:22 for 800m this year. But my competitive streak has come at a price: I’ve been plagued with injury for most of my running career. As I hope to be competing for another 25 years, I look forward to following at least some of your advice!
Wouldnt it be easier if the treadmill wasnt soft as a marshmallow?
I would LOVE to do this and see how long I last!!! Looks fun!!! But proper running form is crucial. Glider or gazelle form! Were these people trying to get injured?! Hahaha.
But to be fairwhen I ran my first 2 half marathons; I didn’t know what proper running form was either. Running became a hobby after giving birth. I’ve learned and adapted proper running form within this last year.
Thank you for nice video.
I will use these word of today video.
I’m taking on challenging work
Playing sports cut aging our health
My mother is not good at driving. She isn’t reverse the car
For my first marathon I only ran one 20-miler at 3 weeks from race day. For my second marathon, I did one at -5 weeks and -3 weeks. The second one included an 11km Warmup then a HM at goal pace/strategy. My third marathon was only 10 weeks later, so I eased off for a couple weeks to recover and then did a 20-miler at 6 weeks out and again at 3 weeks to race day. In both marathon 2 and 3, the first 20mi run was on a Sunday, after a 10mi steady run on Saturday, designed to get me used to running when tired. Nothing too taxing, just enough to get into the race day headspace so you can feel confident in the last 10k.
All very bad at running form, so no surprise here they fail.
Me who struggles to run one mile without collapsing: yeah this sounds like a good idea
Liam: 10 km per day for 1 year
Me in quarintine: 1 meter per day for a year
why is there no subtitles? it would be so useful for learners
incredible how everyone in the comments are all professional runners.
Off topic. FYI your channel has been unsubscribed without my knowledge. I was looking for some older videos and I couldn’t find your channel on my list. (YouTube algorithm? ��♂️)
Sage, do you think it’s necessary to have this fast track background that lots of you guys have had from your youth to be successful in races at half marathon length and above? Or if you only really run above 5k distance in youth and you don’t have the raw track speed is it still viable?
I am a Bangladeshi. I love this channel more than any channel.
Hi, I’m wondering why the video’s description (the vocab part) is different from the video? The vocab mentioned in the video was cut, taking on, and reverse. Thank you.
I have been running in tournaments or just simply on tracks for about 8 to 9 years now and seeing these people run killed me from the inside, although id love to try this
Its funny I’m 57 and have never thought about age that much. Some interesting points there.
Get there real runners not fake ones and you will realize that spped is not a problem. A problem is maintainig it for 2h… Dont like this vid
Faster beyond 40, I think it is exactly what is my experience. I run 1500m in 4’04 at age 21 then I stop running until I come back at age 39. After two years of training I made 4’00″66, I beat my record and I made some good results in Master Championships. Never think you are dead after 40 ;D
I used to run until I found it boring. Because what will give me that I will run hmm 10 km in a very good time? Apart from a few moments of satisfaction… Today I run purely recreational, I prefer martial arts. At least I will learn to defend myself and my loved ones, not to pat pointless kilometers and then brag about them on Facebook or anywhere.

I’m only planning to go up to 20 before my marathon. 16 was this past weekend, 17 this coming weekend…taper, 18, 20, and two weeks taper before my race.
What do you think about the MAF method. Can you get fast using it? I was a sub 15 5k runner in HS and various injuries over the past 20 years kept me pretty much sidelined. I’m now back to running again, about 40 miles a at this point. I’m playing with this MAF method and so far no injuries but I’m pretty slow at MAF pace, 9/mi or so.
In theory, I get the risk of not running more than 3 hours. But if you do run a 20 miler in training, you’d have to run at 9 minute pace. In conjunction with long runs are supposed to be conducted at an easy pace, let’s say for the sake of argument, 9 min/mil is 60 seconds faster than race pace, so race pace is estimated to be 8 min/mil. This is roughly a 3 hour and 30 minute time for the marathon. But the average finish time is somewhere around 4 hours and 20 minutes, at a 9:55 min/mil pace. If you add 60 seconds for an “easy” pace, your long run pace is 10:55 you would only be able to do a 16 mile run. If you aim to finish in 4:45 hours, that longest long run decreases, etc. It just seems like a lot to ask new(er) runners aiming for an average finish time to run an additional 10.2 miles on race day. Do you have to be running 50+ miles (random estimate) a week to be fit enough to run a marathon when factoring in the 3 hour long run rule?
Damn, I thought you were in your early 20s, great advice though.
Ah shit I’m so screwed! I’ve only hit 5 miles and I’m running in 2 weeks!
Bea: come over.
Kipchoge: Girl my car is in the shop and you live 26 miles away.
Bea: My parents wont be home for three hours.
Kipchoge: �� �� �� ��
I’m 50 and though I have been strength training for decades just got in to running a couple of years ago. I find the whole trail running scene perfect because it allows me to enjoy variety and see some improvement here and there in say climbs and downs even though I have no speed on the flat lol. You are a great inspiration thank you as always for a great channel.
i just turned 58 and I run 10 km in 40 minutes. I am aiming to run 38 or 39 sometimes soon. Regards
I’ve done 2 x 32k,’s two weeks apart and was planning to do one more this Saturday but not sure due to Achilles tendinitis. How important is doing that last long run 3 weeks out before tapper? I’m running BERLIN-MARATHON in about 4 weeks.
Can you try nothing but LSD long slow distance runs? I’ve done it before a long time ago it kinda works for building distance but doesn’t really build speed for a while. It worked and I got my mileage high off it sorta back in the day like in 2005. Because if these people are running low mileage under 25 a week, just doing nothing but long slow distance might work ( like it sorta did for me). only run 3x a week like and run as far as you possible can go. Instead of doing tempo runs and intervals which might make things worse for slower runners maybe. I used to think the farther you ran the faster you got and that was my philosophy back then. Now i know its not true, but i was faster when i did that and was building up to like 22-24 miles than i am now. It just was extremely slow for a long time then i got good after while. Then any distance less than what you built up to is a peice of cake and i could do 11 mile time trials which would be impossible before. ANd a half marathon was a distance that was easy for me, while being hard for me before. Although at the same time my 1 mile time gotten slower since i never ran that short of a distance anymore. My conclusion is that it works temporarily like a sort of base training plus just a ton of miles instead of other types of runs. You can do that for a few months, up to 3 at a time, i think. Not giving advice really just saying what i did i guess, because its easy to misinterpret what i said or give bad advice online so i try not to do it. And this will make the marathon distance easy if you really do this for a while. It’s easy to get injured doing this though. I had to go to the foot doctor because of this once then kinda laid off the 3-7 runs after that. Then i only did 4 hours max after my foot injury so i didnt get hurt again.
Keep in mind running on a treadmill is easier than on ground
Somebody goes up there and does it for 3 hours straight and realizes they should have been a runner.
Hi James, Very interesting video. I was a Pti in the Army and used to run alot. Im getting back into it now. Im 50 in May and ive registered for a mountain race in Glen coe. Ive been stretching loads and have rest days. Ive also started yoga and it helps loads
Thanks for this info, I was going to suggest this topic as I’m 54 and following your Mountain Ultra Plan. I swap some easy runs for turbo training on a bike but would welcome any other suggestions! Good luck with the 100k subscribers! ��
James has really nailed a comprehensive video series for all runners. You can pick n mix which elements work for you and best of all they’re free!…on a side note he held that glass of water without drinking from it pretty much the whole way through ha!
Older is beyond 40? That’s startling and sad. I’m 64. My kid is 42. Hard to even imagine someone in their 40’s feeling like an ‘older’ runner. Sound advice, though.
Brandon Look up Jo Fukuda on strava. Japanese guy. Runs 250 mile weeks. What a beast. Half 1:02.
Full 2:09
Yes, all elite long distance runners are Super-human! And their speed is insane…but not even they could run on a treadmill for too long at that speed. A treadmill is not a good simulation of track/road…by its nature, it is designed to keep you in one position, by eliminating traction and dragging your legs backwards. For that reason, you need quick strides on a treadmill, whereas on a normal running surface you don’t need quick strides. You can measure your strides decently, even though running at a fast pace…so these simulators are very inaccurate
Yeah running is good but the best thing you can do for your arteries is not eating animal products.
Of course it’s almost impossible to keep up this speed. On top of being on performance enhancing drugs, Kipchoge is a world class Kenyan Marathon runner.
I’m laughing at all these runners bad form, but am now paranoid of how I look when I run ��
I was a high level
Runner when I was younger. I took off 10 years and now am 40 years old. I’m getting back into running and have lost 40 pounds and getting to 7 min miles at 13.1 miles. I hope to get faster and learning this old body isn’t like my young one that was a 4:19 miler
From the comments I have learned that all of these professional and Olympic runners have horrible teqnique according to suburban middle/high-school cross-country coaches.
Would you mine…Please have a look on your thumbnail. You have written “running makes you” instead of “running make you”
It makes me happy that 5 years of running is considered young. I mean 40 miles and three years is not that much, so I hope there is potential for me..
I’ve been running actively for 1.5 years and each month I up my average mileage just a little. This has been a natural progression as I feel more fit and capable. I try to do one weekly long run (doesn’t always happen, but I plan on it nonetheless). I’m not training for a marathon, but do plan do run one “soon”, and really I’m just training to continue to improve my capacity and abilities. My long runs are now 15-18 miles long at a 7:30– 8:00 min/mile pace. For context, I now average 45-50 miles per week. I’ve stayed injury free and hope to keep it that way while slowly increasing my base. During the week, I’ll do a mix of tempo, recovery, and possibly an interval run. Just this last week, I ran a 10 mile PR at 6:55 min/mile avg and an 18.3 mile long run at 7:40 min/mile pace (2 hrs 20 min run).
When Liam posts a serious video
something’s wrong, I can feel it
Imagine a guy went up there and just started running for a solid 2hrs.
I literally said “YIS MAX” everyday when I first watched u XD
Love this one. Does Vo2 Max drop because testosterone drops?
Ok this man is a legend. His first video has 1 million views i-
This is where it all started. Now max can write his own name.
Hi Georgina and Neil. Please, help me but I don’t catch the word in Georgina’s first phrase: ‘we’ve got language…’
i did a lot of long runs for Philadelphia. I basically kept adding two miles to each long run, I did one 20 miler, one 22 miler, and one 24 miler.
But isn’t the collapsing due to the fact that they are carb burners and have actually insulin resistance? Are you a fat burner /Keto?
Excellent Sage. Older runner 57 myself and didnt start till I was 50. Enjoy marathons and half’s. It would be great to find some training programmes for older runners. For example i have found it best to run every other day. Being older i need a day off between run days to recover. So my long weekend run falls on a Saturday one week and Sunday the next.
It works for me.
Also older runners be careful if you take a break from running. A couple of years ago i stopped due to family illness etc. Life came first etc.
But 4 weeks later i ended up with severe sciatica myself and could hardly walk. Took me a year to get back. Doctor said it was because i stopped running, everything tightened up causing severe pain in that nerve from the back to the toe. So go careful as you get older.
Thanks Sage for some excellent advice for us seniors.
Good luck in the future.

I’m Surprised there aren’t any: “A lEGeNd WaS bOrN 0:00” Comments yet
I’m training for a 50k ultra spartan marathon. Been using the Hal Higon ultra marathon program. This will be my 2nd 50k. I have never ran a marathon by itself. This program goes beyond 20 miles and 3 hours. It goes up to 5 hours. As a matter of fact I anticipate running 2-30+ mile long runs prior to the race. Is this unusual?
Why is video effect different?
And one more thing, the vocabularies giving under subscription is different from the video.
Balance is more important than a long run. I will spend 20 min before and after my run softening tissue (foam rolling,) mobility, and/or strength training. Total weekly mileage is more crucial to me than one big long run. Not saying I don’t ever get a 20 miler in but I feel ready to go with a handful of 16 milers during a marathon training cycle.
I do one 20 miler after long runs of 14,16, 18, each week then the 20 and then taper down with the next long run of 10miles.
About 2:16– 2:18 there is Otepää so when did you visit estonia? Thats my country
I took on the challenge of losing weight by cutting junk food and running every day and I lose weight 22 kg��
Good video. The main phrase i learned from most videos is: hi everyone. I hope you enjoyed that video etc.
Does a strength session air squats, lunges, jump lunges, calf raises, side scissors etc, count as cross training or an easy day? I’m running 3x per week and a bit confused when to do some 2x strength work to try and stay injury free?? Newbie.
Way late on this. Agree on weekly mileage and working in smaller doses of pace work. I did 5 20-23 mile runs leading up to the LA Marathon in March and felt fine (after eating a ton). I would have tweaked my taper a bit, but everyone will be different in that regard.
My 20 milers were well below race pace and mostly in the “easy run” feel. The 8-10 milers were paced a bit faster and hurt way more when done.
After that episode I can absolutly imagine Sage sitting next to his 12 year old kid explaining him that flower and bee thing.
Me and Adam hickey exchanged nods to eachother as we saw eachother on our runs yesterday ��

If you start talk spanish you gona gain a lot of subs, Saludos desde México!!!!!!!!
My question is, out of all those people who lasted the longest? Was anybody there even able to go for 10 minutes?
I never beings participate in marothan. But i like to participate in marothan because running is good for health.
sometimes i feel like i’m a beginner runner but i’ve ran 46 marathons and 7 100 milers.
Depends on the experience and talent level of the athlete. There’s no set number.
VNese goverments declared that people have to stay at home to cut the traffic congestion, which means to prevent corona spreading from human to human. Therefore, people reverses all their jobs and spend time with their family
Kind of random and I’m kind of late but when he said 5km and showed Otepää then I was real happy cause that’s in my country and it’s small af
100% agree with the holistic comment. For me, I do a coached quality exercises day (track, hills, intervals), slow recovery day, tempo day (my LEAST favourite) and long run day. Non running is 2 gym session one is mostly is movement/mobility (usually the day after my long run) and the other is strength focused, which has been critical for me in no longer having chronic knee problems. Done a fair few half marathons and shorter, now going for first marathon, and so far built up to 30km, will max out at about 34, then taper back. Every week is a new distance PB at the moment!
200 meters in 34 seconds= 100 meters in 17 seconds.
The fastest sprint, usain bolt ran 100 meters in 9.70 seconds, or 44 kilometers an hour.
This man ran an entire marathon at half Usain’s speed! That’s crazy.
Hi James, I really enjoyed this video! I only started running at the beginning of the year and I’m 43 years old. I feel like I’m making pretty good progress (I don’t have a training plan and have been muddling through to get to running 50 km per week) but I’m now a bit concerned that I might be doing a bit too much. Do you have any recommendations on starting running when you’re older? When I was in my 20’s I would have probably collapsed after running for 30 seconds, so I don’t really have a reference point for how much impact my age has on my performance!
I watched him for a minute and he’s already my favorite you tuber
It would be really useful if you also uploaded these talks as podcasts
by time for me and also like a triathlete by doing rides that makes my legs tired but stronger for longer distance and lots of tempo runs to practice pacing
Hey Sage thanks for another great vlog. Don’t know if you still do vlog requests, but could you give some advice on improving knee drive. Exercises, techniques, thing to think about while running etc. I think this is why I sound like an elephant when I run and have pain in my hips. Cheers!
as mid 50’s and only a year of more serious running I was pulling up with all kind of injuries. I recently got Matt Fitzgerald’s book, 80/20 Running: Run Stronger and Race Faster by Training Slower. Like nearly everyone, I was doing everything it says not to, should have my picture on the cover… for the first time I think I may actually survive this and become a runner…
It’s about finishing it and not hurting yourself
If you’re doing it for the charity then you just need to finish to get the money for charity not come first.
Want to get a good time then do practice runs around the route you are going you can quit that way and keep trying until you do the entire thing then get better times so when it happens you can get a good time
Good time depends on how much you pace yourself because it not a 30-second run go to fast and you will run out of energy then everyone will just pass you.
I didn’t run a marathon yet. I run a few ultras (trails), but I’m chasing cut-off times. I recently decided to improve my speed and running stamina. So finally I decided to run my first marathon (although is very boring).
The 3 hours max for long runs sounds great (that will put me in about 19 miles). Thank you for the advice.
What do you thing about back to back long runs?
I can’t run 1k even on my good days. This guy runs 10-15k everyday…
Let’s just appreciate his work.
������
When I get older losing my hair, many years from now, will you still be running each and ev’ry stride, sunday mornings go for a ride! ☺️
Now we wait for another 2 years. All that’s left is 100 pushups, situps everyday for 3 years
Fuck the marathon, even a jump from 5k to 10k feels like shit. I ran 17 min 5k and a month later 37min 10k. I got bad muscle pains from that 10k and got injured for a month so now my 5k time is 20min and I am not fully recovered from that 10k.
I cant even think of running a marathon. Its just so much different, its the whole different universe.
In my opinion there is almost as much difference between 5k and marathon, as between 400m and 5000m. The interesting observation is that marathon mostly based on long run training, some tempo, rare VO2 max training.
But 5k in my opinion is mostly tempo and VO2 max lots of speed track sessions, with only rare long runs maybe once a week or even two and no longer that 1:30 hour.
My 37 min 10k was of 155 average heart rate (190 being max hr), I could almost talk casually, but my legs felt like shit. My legs could not sustain the intensity, because I think I lacked speed sessions like 1k repeats and only really started doing them 1,5 week before the race.
I think Marathon is closer to ultra running as oppose to track distance running, at least on the average level. And that being said I think you could defiantly train for marathon in 4 mounts and run it in 6-8 hours easily, with some walk (why not? Not all people want to do it in 2hours, some come for the fun), but for me anything above 3 hours would be a disappointment, so I would rather train for 15 min 5k then for a 2:40 marathon (and get an injury)
SF WAS HARD ALL HILLS. THE GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE WAS BEAUTIFUL.
I hope your video all have a * CC * buttom. If that, many people have such a weak English level as me can learn from your wonderful videos easier. Many thanks ♡♡♡
“Charity for kids who have one leg”���������� man i love you man.. been running for 6 months and have registered for a half marathon in June 2020.. i got a training plan and hope to run a good time.
This is extremely helpful thank you James! I now know why I get injured and can adjust my training from all you said:) much appreciated for sharing
Well done, although at 53 I don’t have many running injuries, I really appreciate this video talk.
Everyone in the comments critiquing the runners’ style when their max running speed is probably half this
Do you ever do intermittent fasting to increase your vo2 max, testosterone, and hgh?
Thanks a lot guys! Glad to see and hear you every time with a new topics! It’s a real pleasure to learn something new from 6 minutes’ English!
Good stuff Sage My son is 13 and he is running with me 26km tomorrow do you think that is too far for a young cross country whipper-snapper? One Vlog you could cover Boulder as a running town per se.
I am at my 9 marathon. I am going to try to do 3/4 2o miles. I have to believe. I can become a better marathon runner
I tried to take on playing the guitar every day, but I gradually cut off practising days and finally reversed my decision. Could anyone correct mine, please? Thanks
I loved the content that Liam has been making currently and just randomly found this video by him. It’s very ironic, considering that this year I’m running at least a mile everyday (probably averaging 4 a day).
I am currently coming back from a knee injury that put me out for over three months. My biggest problem is gradual mileage increase. My cardiovascular system is able to withstand long distances at a good pace without a problem, but my ligaments, tendons and muscles are what usually fail me. I have an urge to increase my mileage and get bak to where I was as soon as possible. This time, I’m really taking it slow. I’ve been running around 20-20k a week for the last three weeks and I don’t feel and nagging pain (yet, haha). I’m kind of scared to increase, though.:( My biggest goal is to stay healthy and be able to run consistently.
They look like they are auditioning for a low budget horror movie! How to look dumb before you die…
…ummm are they really runners or just regular people trying to run his pace, because their form is atrocious. I want to reach through my phone and help them…
Sage advice….as an older runner…know thyself and run within for another year…and repeat s!-healthy lifestyle and a fun stress release especially when on the trails. Regarding your last video…my thinking is…if I may share that being Fortunate is better than being lucky.
I’m a big fan! I am a high school student and have seen a lot of improvement by taking your advice and applying it in my training! Thanks for the help sage!
I’m using a new process in preparation for my marathon coming up here on the 14th. I will let you know if my training worked well.
Thanks for this, Sage!! Yeah, the thing I have noticed coming back to running older, and after a year off is that I need a lot more recovery time. I’ve learned that it’s all about listening to my body and not trying to compare my running to when I was 30. Btw I just had my physical and doc says running and plant-based diet are doing wonders, I’m in perfect health! Thanks as always for the awesome advice! ������
1:15 “Because I just wanted to take up the challenge of running”, that’s what it looked like
i was a fast runner when I was in my 20s mostly because I was much lighter.I ran a 2k tt in 6min at 29 y old im 43 and did 2k tt at 7.28 my weight is 10 kg more.I ran a 5k at 16.30 when 29 and last week did it at 19.25 so would the 10 kilos account for this difference, im thinking yes.I can still sprint well some of the weight i gained was muscle from weight lifting but long dist running hates weight.
1. Run and train for marathons and half marathons, maybe 3-4 max per year 2. Run weekly 5k and 10k competitive social runs 3. On training runs include big hills and finish with 1k to 2k timed runs 4. As an older runner don’t do fart legs, waste of time and likely to cause injury.
FRIEND I Can’t run fast, I’m too slow, is that still gonna help me???
ME Don’t lose heart
Nomatter how slow you go
You’re still lapping everyone on the couch
Thanks for the latest Training Talk Sage, it’s very much applicable to me. I started running in 2012 after 25 years elite road cycling. I had a back operation and decided to take up running as I could no longer ride like I used to. In the first 3 years the progression was good and I worked up to 100-120 kms a week and a sub-3 hour marathon (x3) and regular 82 minute half’s. The last 2 years however have been 1 injury after another as a result of poor form, underdeveloped stabilizing muscles and over-training. I could get away with ‘pushing through it’ on the bike, but it’s a slippery and demoralizing slope when it comes to running. Your videos, and Coach Sandy’s have certainly helped me address these issues and at 43 years old my love of running grows each time I lace up my shoes.
I am running my first marathon in a month, have done an 18, 19 and 20 mile run so far the final 22-mile run is coming up this week. Feels good so far, all of them has been under 3 hours.
So basically if you run 2hours straight on this treadmill you’re on wr level? Damn. That must be hard.
you know, when I run i get so pumped up and then the race starts and then i just get SUUUUUUUUUUUPER nervous
I started running when I was 14 years old. Now I am 41 turning 42 I noticed that I am experiencing wear and tear. Even I am taking rest days and recovery runs or other non running exercises when I came back in running my performance is getting worser and worser. I am not sure if my age was the factor or if my 30 plus years of doing the same sports deteriorating my body? pls enlighten me sir.
Hi James,
I enjoyed your video and thought I should contribute back by sharing my experience. I am over 45 years and have never been a runner. In my school days I was big on cycling and for the last 15 years been big on swimming. Last summer I decided to take up running and tried to follow scooby1961’s running program ( it is on youtube). By the 4th week I injured my achilles tendon and had to stop for a couple of weeks. When the Canadian winter set in, I stopped. Recently I restarted training using the couch to 5k program. By the 2 week aches and pains started flaring up at different locations. I stopped doing 3 days and instead do just 1 day a week with a few days of rest and then a solid 1 hour of weight training -> leg press, leg curls, leg extensions, hip adduction,abductors, one leg kickbacks and russian twists. This 1 hour of intense weight training (92 k lbs lifted as per bodyspace app) seems to calm my aches and pains from running. My lower body feels reset and realigned and as if those mis-alignments triggered by running have been corrected by the weight training. I am now following a regime of just 1 run a week and 1 lower body intense weight training week. Been injury free so far. I plan to reintroduce swimming, other weight training and kettlebell training. I guess with my body “variety is the spice of life”.
Hm…I think that I gave in to temptation and jumped into a long run. I finished it, but it was a bit harder than I think it should have been. At least I can put the check mark on the box for 20 miler.
Excellent advice, I used to run a 20 mile race a month or so before my marathon at 6.5 min pace so I knew I could maintain the pace for 20 miles and then it was a case of how much time I lost in the last 10k as to whether a got a PB or not, I normally dropped to around 6.45 min pace, maybe in hindsight I should have done longer training runs, not sure if that would have helped though.
@khairuddin… hi I’m fomerly dbs&dba student from local college…currently I’m worked with kfc…my past time study about language class concerned was Business English…im forgotten, maybe [email protected]….
hi James,
watched lots of your videos also 30 day challenge. I’ve suffered from shin splints for yrs but now trying forefoot striking, I’m doing all the drills but finding it hard to land under flexed knee is there anything I can think of or work on to perfect this.
Cheers Jerry
I took on losing my weight by cutting the amount of food I eat but I reverse now.
I already knew it, it would help our health, reducing you ailment by half
Thanks for the video! I have been running for over 40 years now, ( in my mid 50’s now ) with one running injury calf strain for 2 weeks in the last 30 years, touch wood, so I am more than happy with that!
In all honesty keeping that pace for even 800 is tough for people who are not actively into sports. Also, treadmill is easier than actually running. Also also these people have very poor running form, the fact that they can keep it for even 30 seconds is actually not bad, all things considered.
Hi James,interesting video. I am 52 now and its seem my pace per minutes are around 5 5.30 min most times.Done regular core exercise after each run but trying to aim or improve pace to 4 plus.Is there a limit for guys like me to further see better pace? Appreciate your advice.Thanks.
Sage, can you tell me what’s a good strategy when competing in the 800m, like form changes throughout the run and what my splits should be? Thanks
Thanks James. This is such a great video. You’ve hit upon essentially all the areas I’ve scoured the internet to help me progress and stay injury free as a relative new runner in the masters category 44y/o).
Hi James, very good video! Could you talk about Acchiles tendinosis? Thanks:)

COMMENT
I’ve been running for 2 years. I’m at 55/60 miles per week atm(I’m 17). If I run Berlin marathon next year at age 18 if I do a few 100 mile weeks before and loads of 80’s and 90’s months before, will I be alright??����My goal is sub3 for my first marathon, I don’t think that’s a ridiculous target…
Wow you were a pro rugby player?
Did you play for your national team?
Nice video. I’m 61. I’ve not run since I was in high school. And that was because of a couple of school bullies by the name of Doug Randall and Greg Wagner. I was running very fast because they were threatening me with something I didn’t wish to experience.
My normal mode of exercise, which began when I quit smoking at 30 is light weightlifting and cycling. I’m a tolerable cyclist.
A few years ago, (6) I endured 2 cases of pneumonia and three cases of bronchitis within a 2 year period. I’ve had trouble breathing ever since.
For reasons too long to explain on YT, I have decided to begin a running training program so I can join my sister on a 13.1 half-marathon in Dallas TX on December 9th. I’ve been doing a 4 day a week training with Sunday being my long run. When I say “Run”, I mean that in the most figurative sense of the word. Because of the pneumonia and bronchitis and the fun they had with my lungs, I get out of breath really fast. Still, I’m pushing on. While I can’t yet run even a half mile or an eighth of a mile, I’m going to keep going to Bear Creek Park on Clay Rd in Houston, TX and try to push through this. I am hoping that I can finally get my cardiovascular system to play nice so I can do a walk/run 13.1 half marathon.
The tips you provide in this video will be helpful.
Thanks
Thanks James Dunne for providing such a useful information to us. Yes, it is quite essential to know and understand the crucial factors to a older runner so that he or she can complete the drill successfully and utilize the best results. Kindly share the information regarding the diet of a young runner. I need it.
People should have run numerous half marathons and have a base mileage of 25-30 miles before they even consider a 24 week marathon plan.
Hi James. I found this video very useful. Its good that coaches such as yourself recognise there is a big constituency of older runners out there and need to be looked after. I feel this has been a fairly neglected area. Few magazines have articles on support for older runners. As a keen runner approaching the ripe old age of 58, I would appreciate your opinion on speed training for runners of my age. My local club now has regular speed training sessions with an option of going out for 5-8Km run as an alternative for those who dont want to do this type of training. I am never quite sure whether to opt for speed (in that I dont know if it would make much difference) or concentrate in maintaining fitness and stamina by churning out the miles.
I love this new approach of you guys doing BBC news review sitting in the couch and we can see those vocabularies behind at the same time❤️
I know you talk about building your aerobic base as a 1500 or miler in the off season, but do you think doing speed once every week would be helpful for keeping some necessary fast twitch muscle fibers?
Exactly, I will wait for at least 3-4 years until I start running marathons. Start with the shorter distances and move up when you are actually fit enough to handle the longer distances
I’ve decided to take on improving my English by watching BBC News Review whenever it is on.
16, 18, 20, 42, 187.5, 6831 etc. etc. Put any of these figures into the commentary and place ‘miles’ behind-it and 95% of the world is going to be perplexed, undertaking an exercise in mental arithmetic (into kms) & still left with enough brain power to continue watching. That said, viewers from Burma will understand those distances.
During my current training block, I’ve hit marathon distance 7 times with my longest being a 50k training run. I had been doing back to back long runs until my weekend mileage hit 40 for Sat/Sun. I find it easier to hit a two day total of 40+ miles when the first one is longer that the second.
im rewatching his first video its crazy how someones first video has over 1 milviews
Last year i tried a new 21 week program for a marathon, the long runs stared from 20k and they were every second week reaching to 37km. During the week i had my tempos, intervals, aerobic and easy runs, also i had some core strength exercises. Since the long runs were every second week i could recover better than my older programs where the long run was every week and i couldn’t wait for the next long run, each time i did a PR and finally i run my marathon with 30min record.
Hi Sage! I’m a former lightweight rower who transitioned to distance running after college, due in large part to your channel. I was far from fast (being 175 pounds and 6’4″ doesn’t help), but your videos inspired me and kept me training hard for two marathons. When I realized that running was feeding into unhealthy food restriction habits I developed as a rower, I stopped running and switched to Olympic Weightlifting, but I have continued to watch your videos. Thanks for producing such great content, and for creating this community!
Running on a treadmill is really weird if you’ve never done it before.
I never do it myself, so I’d look just as stupid.
I run on a program called Marathon rookie. I’ve used it for all 4 marathons that I’ve ran. The last few weeks you run a 18, 20, & 22 mile run. I think the best thing to do is find a running schedule from the very beginning and stick to it. I also push my tempo every run. I know this isn’t very popular advice but it gives me short term goals during my training. How many miles can I get under 8 min. Or 7 min. Etc.
Fam
When I run, I feel like I can run 13.1+ miles easily. At the same time, if I go fast for longer than a 10k it feels easier then if I go at the same pace for less mileage.
A few weeks ago I did a 10 mile long run at 6:53 pace and it felt easy.
Last long run was 11.2 miles, at a 7:00– 7:15 mile pace. It felt really easy as well and my HR was really low.
I know I don’t need to run a marathon or half marathon being in high school at age 15, but I feel like it really it isn’t as hard as people make it seem.
My diet is sort of like a normal Kenyan diet, and I don’t ever really eat before runs, so I don’t know why longer runs feel so much more comfortable then shorter runs or speed workouts.
But in the tread Mill you just lift your legs. ITS Easy. In a real marsthon you have to push off with your back leg.
dude im 15 and im getting into long distance running and your advices are really really helping
Average 1 x 32km / 20 miles run 3 weeks before marathon day ��♂️. ��.
About the Vo2 max/heart rate:
At what age do they start decreasing? Is it literally from conception? Birth? 18-30? I honestly have no idea. But, from the (inaccurate) formula, technically that would make your highest heartbeat count at birth. Does that mean that (hypothetically) if we were 100% mature from the moment we got here that we would be at optimal running state? Or does Vo2 max and heart rate increase until full maturity?
Any1 can run a marathon if just depends if you are willing to put the effort in
I don’t know why, but the Australian accent just makes people sound smarter…
I just came here for the comments ���� who knew running could be comical
come on.. running on jeans… it is the 21st,… not the 18st century..
I did 2*20’s and 1 * 18 and multiple at 15, 16 this last marathon prep. It helped greatly to go through wall before the race
I have a marathon in less than 2 weeks!! I’m also aiming to set a Guinness World Record Marathon Costume Title so my long run training has been a little skewed since I’ve been running in slippers haha..
Sage, my dad is 75 (turning 76) and still runs 5 days a week. His secret is he primarily runs on soft surfaces. Mostly trails and tow path type runs. It helps that he has a high energy dog that loves to run too.
This whipper-snapper is 46 years old and hopes to be like pops one day. Thanks for your videos!
If your in marathon shape what is minimum amount you need to do to maintain your fitness level
I have a question though for us slower runners. A 20 mile run takes me 4 hours. So 3 hour limit means all I get is 15. Are you sure that 3 hr limit will be enough? My full is in 3 weeks �� and I am scared to not do 21 beforehand
Good info. for a 45 year old. Thanks! Also, I kept cracking up every time you’d say “Whipper-Snapper”! Haha! Love it! You’re a young man with an old soul….best way to be!:-)
so… I take learning english on like if this will be a marathon(?) ��
Well I feel like if your a active person than you can probably run a marathon with 2 months of training
This seems like an excellent thing to try out at the expo the day before your marathon…
I train my athletes by time. Longest run is 2 hours 45 minutes. Aiming for a specific distance means some athletes could be on feet for over 4 hours in training. The recovery from that is huge. The focus should be the whole week, not one run.
Hi Sage, I really appreciate this information for “older “ runners. Thank you for adressing this topic.
I feel like most of these people never ran in their lives before attempting this.
Yeah you are right you have to pace yourself and build up slowly. I have a personal best time for the mile of 6:07 minutes. But yes marathon running is hell it is not easy. I did an 18 mile race last Sunday in 2 hours and 44 minutes but why that long whenever I have to deal with hills for a certain distance I get running laziness and end up taking walking breaks.
Am I going on the right path? Or am I messing myself up for the future? I’m a 14 year old, pretty fast I would say, my PBs are 4:27 for the mile, 17:50 for the 5K, 38:46 for the 10K, 1:55ish for the half marathon, and 3:55 for the marathon (Yes I’ve ran the marathon as a 14 year old, I’ve ran it twice because I am in a club called Students Run LA.) But anyways, I watch your videos often and I always hear you saying that kids around my age always peak like I did and then when they’re in college they just dip down and they’re never to be seen, how can I prevent that from happening to me? I love running and I probably always will and I’m trying to go pro but I’m not sure if I’m peaking too quickly or not.
The title kinda sounds like liam ran really slowly and at the end of the year, he reached 10km
I’m currently running 8-miles in the morning and 8-miles in the evening, giving my legs a little rest during the day so I don’t damage them too much. I will do a couple of 20-milers just before the marathon.
It’s so fascinating when see you guys work so enthusiastic. I’ll keep following for more helpful information. Thanks for your works.
Totally into the patience philosophy, but the itch to sign up for a marathon is real. From couch to week 7 now, avg 30 miles/week with no injuries, done 2 HM time trial at 2:45 and 2:29. Still can’t see myself finishing a FM but will I actually be confident to complete a FM at the end of 4 months of build up? Have been training alone so if you have any ideas please do drop me a msg. https://www.strava.com/athletes/44702924/training/log?feature=public-training-log
Is this 13 mph the same speed as a 13 on a treadmill if there is a speed 13?
I’m a little bit confused about the spelling of “ageing”, because I thought that it was spelled “aging”. Is it the difference between British and American English?
The key to running long into old age is just dont be entering any races….races encourage you to push yourself too hard leading to long term deterioration and injuries that will shorten your running life. Eat well, preferably a plant based diet. Basically the miles you run make you the runner you are. Know your limits and run within them. Running isn’t about blistering pace. I’d rather run 26 miles today and get up tomorrow and be able to run it all over again…rather than limping around for 5 days
How did he run about 6 miles a day for a year! I can’t even run 1/2 a mile without taking a break��
Great video. Useful stuff. I am 46 and running marathons (slowly but still doing them:-)
I’m doing the Hanson’s Marathon Method that prescribes the notion of cumulative fatigue. My long run is 16, but has a slightly shorter long run the day before. I kinda like it.
I have done something similar I ran a 5k but thats probably nothing to you
Could u please

Many of us listen to these English programs repeatedly n that annoys. If we don’t hear it we might listen to BBC MORE!
Thank U for the great n free contents.
I did 20 miles last year at NYC Marathon and I did 4 hours. This year I would like to do less than 4 looking forward to 3:45. And I got the same program TRE
Teacher Neil in the news review, it’s so good to change sometimes.
I don’t think it matters much whether it’s 16 or 20+! It’s about weekly volume that makes you stronger for a marathon!
If you can do a 22 mile progression, then you are ready to smash a marathon!!!
I guess I’m doomed… my 20 mile long runs take me over 4 hours, especially when I bonk in the heat and have to walk for extended periods.
Compared to others, such as Neil, Dan, Catherine, Finn and Paul, etc. I think Georgina should put more efforts on the programme. I didn’t mean anything wrong that she did, just other hosts are terrific.(I am apologise I am so mean! As a English learner, I am watching this impressive programme as well as complaining, I feel… so sorry)
Many thanks for uploading this video. The advice and exercises has got me back into running when I thought it was not possible. It is early days but I will keep that 80% figure in my mind when I decide what training to do. The short sets of exercises are really useful. In the past I was put off by the sheer amount of exercises and the time they would take so the sets you have created are a real help.
Definitely I’m so excited when I watch your show today and every day thanks �� a lot
