Sage I’m a massive fan. Instead of just heaping praise I want to give u constructive feedback. This video (and others) would benefit greatly with some editing. The details about mono don’t strengthen the video. There’s a lot of repetition setting up your point which only serves to lengthen the video and takes away from its focus. I love the information and demonstrations you provide us and you’ve helped me a great deal with form etc. but I’d recommend really tightening up your training talks to avoid the tendency to ramble. Keep up the amazing work.
Good stuff Sage, last December got injured and a sick and just now have started to gradually increase mileage. It is a process that one must do and enjoy, in order to return to prior fitness. Thanks for putting it together.
Three things….run on grass or soft surfaces, don’t run more than your body can handle and seriously reconsider veganism. Fair enough if it’s a lifestyle/ethical choice but purely from a running/performance standpoint, your body will do so much better with a balanced diet of good quality food from all food groups.
Good luck recovering friend.
how to deal with a groin injury that lasts for many months? The doctors can’t find the problem of the groin injury which my running friend has now
Am going to run again after 2 years. Let’s hope for the best. How to improve consistency & pacing. My PB for 21km was 2:04.
Always listen to your body to prevent more serious injuries. The goal is to run injury free. Stay strong ��
Trying to kick an injury since May! went on easy 10 miler and hamstring went guess Im overtrained and need long break very tough to stop as love my running thanks sage great talk
I feel fortunate that never got injured or had major problem to make me stop for a long time. This year after our baby girls were born I took 2 months off as the work with 2 babies was quite intense (and it goes on as they grow up, hehe) I have adapted my schedule to run between office hours and then maybe one run during the weekend, I gotta be available to help my wife.
Those 2 months also helped me as a good recovery as I felt my body was not fully rested. Now I need to remember to do more foam roalling and stretch.
Good video Sage!
The ego is not your amigo
LOL
I freakin love that
Stealing it
Thanks for the video bud, was very helpful, will sub to help out your channel ☺
I’m a noob at running.was never an active person but also didn’t gainweight until a few years ago when suddenly,
Over a one year span,
BAM
I gained 60lbs
My ego went into a coma for a while after that hit haha
But I’m glad it happened it was a reality check
Anyway
Started giving running a try and to my astonishment
I actually like it?!
Have lost 16 lbs so far(over an 8-12 month period) yeah, it’s slow but I’m OK with that and content, but I only know this number from being weighed at my neurologist, I don’t own a scale for obvios mental health reasons, I want my health to be the focus not my numbers.
Much love
Thanks great advice. My coach is big on recovery cross training rowing machine, cycling, swimming, and easy running until you feel confident to get back into high intensity running. Even if the body is ready to go, your mind may need more time to regain confidence. Best advice from my coach is “don’t push it until it feels right”.
you’re socially isolated anyway, you don’t need to explain yourself lol!
A lot of the comments here feel so familiar. I took 5 weeks off after my first half ironman because I didn’t have a real break for 2 years. Going back into training was a very humbling experience. It took a good month to get even my base running speed on par with what I’m used to. Commuting by bike is a great way to keep a good base level of fitness, even if it’s just for a few minutes. Otherwise it goes away pretty quickly indeed
I just asked you about this in the comments of one of your last videos, nice! Thanks again for your stellar advice!����
I literally just got done with my season, and I was telling myself, “man I dont want to stop training, I really want to win state next year” and then you uploaded your video so I guess I’ll take a week off! I wasnt sure if taking time off was a good idea, but now I do ��
Hi Sage i’m in day 16 of an ankle sprain 2nd degree that I got at km10 of a trail marathon race. Tough time physically and most of all mentally. But again, you pull me up from the dark with your tips and advices. Thank you Sage. I’ll be very careful in getting back to the trails.
I’m afraid that I would get out of shape if I took more than a week off
Kindly talk about groin pains I have been suffering and even after physio and lots of yoga stretching I still feel pain.
On a side note: I understand your need to monetize your channel, but 7 ad breaks on a 10 minute video? C’mon….
Thank you so much Nick! I’m taking an off season from track right now and I was wondering:)
Some good points and reminders to think about in your training cycle. After the Angeles Crest 100 and going in to the Baldy Marathon, out of 6 weeks, I only had one week where I did some road runs. The rest no cardio. Though I did try to lift weights regularly. Trail runs in the mountains especially long ones do take time to recover from and can make sore legs especially muscle strains and back of the knee strains. And of course sore feet. Which can be discouraging because then you have to skip workouts or really tone down the workouts. So my 6 weeks before Baldy Marathon was no cardio except one week of some road runs, actually jog walks, in 100F heat.
Great video. I just went through this. I took almost 5 years off. I was an ultra trail runner before I took the time off. I gained a bunch of weight and didnt even think about running anymore. May of this year I got back into the sport. I have consitently ran every week since and ramped up the miles much slower. I faced a few facts before I even started…one Im older, and two..I did some stupid things in the past when I was training that I know I didnt want to bring into this training block. I increased my miles very slow this time. I started with 31 miles a week for the whole month of June. Then when I felt I had a decent base at that mileage, I slowly started to increase using the 10% rule. Then once I got to 40 miles a week, I noticed a IT band problem. I slowed back down, nursed the injury while still training, and moved up to 50 miles a week. The injury is gone, and now im in shape to do 60 miles on a consistant basis. Its been roughly 4 and a half months and Im now just starting to impliment intensity workouts like tempos and speed work. I dont feel like I am quiet where I was 5 years ago, but im close. I think by the end of this year I will be better than I was before. So It took me 4 months to get back. I also lost 40lbs and a total of 12% of my body fat. Patience and consistency is the key!
I am currently on a break after hurting my knee. I took a week off and tried again and wasn’t ready so I’m on another week off, should I take two weeks off. I have a full marathon in just over two weeks. Should I not run anymore until race day?
I broke my foot this week 5th metatarsal one month before the NYC Marathon. Thank you for this video. I’m hoping to make a speedy recovery and get back on your training plan!
Running should be taken seriously, it doesn’t seem like much, but it can ruin you (injury, overtraining, etc.)…
Sage why do I puke a lot after a marathon? Do you think it’s the jell packs I eat…
I’m just a very casual runner but yeah I do love these tip and lessons.
Great vid sage I’ve been off for 7 weeks with a cracked rib had my first week back this week takin it real slow my vo2 max dropped by 10!! My legs feel good fitness definitely has dropped off though how long should it take taking it slow! Thanks for all the talks really helpful!
Does icing shins work? Should I try KT tape if I keep getting shin splints?
I was recently ill with the Flu, felt better after a week off, then turned up the intensity too soon, and got the flu again, should have taken more time just doing some easy weeks. Lesson learnt. We are all eager to achieve our goals, but if you don’t recover from the issue, you can waste double the time and your previous efforts. Thanks for the great talk Sage.
Tweeted you a few days ago asking for something like this. Now that is responsiveness! Great stuff!
I was an XC runner and could do 2 miles in 13:58. However, due to Coronavirus, I couldn’t run for months. I tried to get back today and OH MY GOD I WAS LITERALLY DYING!!!! Even 0.5 miles felt torturous:( Any advice?
I have almost never had caffeine my entire life (i hate candy and coffee) but I ate my first caffeine gel ever today, but in most practices my max heart rate which is normally 190 and almost never ever goes above that but today my heart rate monitor read 201, is that unhealthy? Should take 1/2 recommended size, or is that just the gel/caffeine doing what it does?
Used to do a lot of running after years off how long will it take to get a spring back in my step I’ve put weight on started this week in worried I wont get back to my fitness I once was
Havnt run right in 6 years after IT band injury, sucks so bad!
How much weight is a normal amount be gained during a 1.5 week break?
My break was 5 years. In 2014 i was running 19 min. 5ks and 1:35 half marathons. Now I am struggling with a 10 min mile. It’s bad. Back to the drawing board. Starting like I am a total newbie.
I really haven’t run in about 10 years. I used to play rugby and could run moderately for 90 minutes a game. But after 10 years of little to no running, 10 years of alcohol, cigarette and fast food abuse I can’t run for any longer than 2 minutes without my shins hurting or my breath running out. It’s embarrassing
dude I told you before and will say it again “visit Italian doc” he’ll fix ur tired soul…
Hello, Sage! Can you do a talk on off-season training? Should I continue running 100+km weeks and do all the speed and tempo workouts? Or should I take it easy and let my body rest a bit? In previous years I skied during winters, but this year I want to keep training really hard. Is that a good idea or not?
What is best way to build to 100 miles from a marathon? I am running my first 50 miler in December 2017, then another 56 mile in May 2018, a 50K in September 2018, another 50K in November 2018, Georgia Death Race 74 mile in March 2019, and then Cruel Jewel 100 mile in May 2019. Does this sound like a solid, steady build up, or not enough? Thanks Sage
this was a video i needed. ran again for the first time two days ago after tearing my LCL. i’ve been very impatient but i’m just conscious of any recurrence so i’m REALLY trying to control that! will build up again with that easy slow mileage. cheers sagacious Sage
I took a year after two years back into it due to AF and AT I am struggling mentally back in to it
Wow, that really sucks, bro. I’m a vegan runner myself. I hope it gets better soon, brother.
hlw coach Kyle….I got fracture (calcaneus fracture) in may 2017… now is has taken 14 month…I can walk now slowly….but after walking…I got some pain in my leg…it will recover very soon within 4-5 hr…..but I want to start my running now….but I don’t know that I even not able to walk regularly so how I will start my regular running????
Used to run every day in high school. Stopped in college, started smoking. 8 years later I haven’t worked out since my freshman year of college and I smoke half a pack a day. At my best I would run 10 miles a day, today I decided enough was enough. I made it half a mile and had to sit down on the sidewalk. Thank you for being positive with your video. I won’t give up
Your music makes me smile Sage…. keep it coming. Another great video. Always find your videos full of great advice and really helpful. You have inspired me to start my own running vlogs. You even get a mention in my Vlog No. 1. Keep up the good work. Best wishes Peter
Thanks for this. I finished a Full 3 weeks ago that did a number on my hips so I’m taking it easy and cross training. My ego wants to get back to my faster times before the Full so bad!!
Always enjoy these talks. I’ve got to say, slowly building my base mileage has been the best addition to my training. Thank you for highlighting this necessity throughout your talks.
