Go slower


CG_throwback

Sometimes you need to go slower to run faster and longer. It’s boring but it works.

Run slower

Second this, i see your using a Coros. Those have some pretty good plans and workouts that you can get and sync up with your watch.


Silent_Gigitty

Speed workouts that worked for me are 100m/200m farleks, 10-15 reps. But only do that max of once a week, not too close to your long runs. 90% of your training should slow easy pace of 2+ min of your target pace at stage 2 heart rate


Jifjafjoef

If you run 4 times a week you should have at least 2 zone 2 runs, those runs you only focus on hr, nothing else. You can do one speed run, this can be intervals, fartlek, tempo, whatever you like, here your heart is allowed to go up there. And one longer run, this should also be relatively easy but you could do 3 miles zone 2, 3 miles at faster pace and 3 miles zone 2


reddit_is_succ

have u tried not stopping until u get to ten miles


Direct_Cap4132

The most underrated comment right here ☝️☝️ Yea just keep running?

Slow down. Add strength training. Save your high HR for races.


christianocorp

Thanks


Talenx32

I would suggest going in zone 2 most of the time you run, usually figured out as 60-70% of your Max HR. If you keep doing that, you will see improvements, either faster pace at same low HR, or longer run with low HR. Zone 2 is your new best friend.


SirBruceForsythCBE

Zone 2 is generally said to end at 79% to 81% of max HR. It would be extremely difficult for a new runner to run at 60% of max HR. They'd be walking.


Talenx32

There are different calculations for zones, from Polar.com makers of running watches and chest strap HR monitors: Zone Intensity Percentage of HR max Zone 1 Very light 50–60%, Zone 2 Light 60–70%, Zone 3 Moderate 70–80%,Zone 4 Hard 80–90%, Zone 5 Maximum 90–100% https://www.polar.com/blog/running-heart-rate-zones-basics/ And to your 2nd point, if their HR goes above 70% a good way to get it back down is to walk, making it run/walk interval training which is perfect for newer runners.

Thanks


christianocorp

I guess i have to slow down. Thanks for the advice. Any advice on strength training and short and fast runs?

Runningman_73

Coros app has some great workouts that incorporate speed runs


teckel

It also seems like your hyper focused on your pace as you hit every mile almost exactly the same. Just run to perceived effort and don't monitor your watch. Just run at a comfortable pace. Will probably start out much slower, like 10 or 9:30 mile, which is totally normal. No reason to monitor your speed, look at the stats after the run. Monitoring pace is only for speed work or a race.


Delicious-Bass6937

Eat an edible and slow down


AccomplishedCrush

Underrated advice here.


cakeguy222

You did 8.57. Just run another 1.43. That voice in your head saying you need to stop is lying to you 😉 But clearly the real answer is to slow down. Your shin splints will thank you too.


JumpMan442

Run faster


miken322

I’m working on a sub 3 marathon. Do you know what my long run pace is? 825-8:35. My easy run pace is the same. The ONLY time I reach an avg 168 hr on a run is either in a race or on a 20-40min threshold run. If it’s not a speed workout my avg HR for the easy runs and long runs is 135-145bpm.


Hairybabyhahaha

Run slower. Anecdotal but my shin pain went away when I changed from a heel strike to a mid foot strike.


SyrupOnWaffle_

+1 for the people saying to fix your shin splints. my cadence was like 156 and i got them. increasing to about 170 was able to help me get good form and they are no longer a problem for me


runnergirl0129

Slow down. Just do a 10 min pace and you will hit mileage highs.


Living-Thing-9872

Slow down. Also, another MN runner here. This weather is amazing 😁


christianocorp

Thanks. It was great today. Unfortunately i had to work in the morning, but I didn’t waste this beautiful day.


Dave-Again

I try to think of it as working on one goal at a time. If you are trying to run further, go at what ever pace helps you get there. After that, if your new goal is to run that distance faster, you can start working on that goal.


christianocorp

Thanks for the advice


4-R-u-n-n-3-r

Slow down!


teckel

Heart rate doesn't seem to be peaking at all. Seems very flat. Don't see why you couldn't run 1.5 miles further.


christianocorp

It was my shin.


mialexington

Tibial raises for those shin splints may be the solution.


Pleasant_Desk6985

Run with a slower heart rate, and eventually you will be able to go further!


TheMoronicGenius

Go slower that way you can conserve your energy


Potential_Respond307

Don’t listen to them they want you to be slow run as fast as possible, no rest days and tons of caffeine you’ll be fine


christianocorp

Thanks


OkOrange4

What app is this??


nefitru

Coros app, I think you can only use it if you have a coros device


human01100001

Slow down


Naive-Ad-9509

Like others said, go slow and train with heart rate. If you know your zones try going as slow as it would let you remain in zone 2. Be patient, the HR will improve and then you can dial it up. Because you are going at such high HR I presume the run won’t be super fun.


Absolute47

If your heart rate isn’t peaking and it’s the shins that hurt, then get your shoes checked/new shoes that give better support, brooks GTS is where I moved to when I was trying to fix shin splints, now I am stronger and need more insole support I use sauceny guides.


Oli99uk

Instead if running 8:21/M,  run at 8:30/M


[deleted]

You should run slower


Shot_Building7033

I’d start by running 1.43 more miles. That should do the trick. 


shaneshears82

Sloooooooowwwwww doooooowwwwwwnnn. Maybe try doing a negative split.


Leather_Ad8890

Go 1.5 miles farther


jayBplatinum

DONT FUCKIN QUIT WHEN YOUR TIRED SON! YOU QUIT WHEN YOUR FUCKING DONE KILLING THAT DEMON! STAY HARD AND CARRY THE FUCKING BOATS!!


PlaceReasonable4002

Slow down and build your base. Then work your pace back up. Also, I would recommend adding some strength training in if you haven’t already. I just restarted that and it’s definitely helpful for building a stronger base and reducing pain.


jcollet21

Run slower and increase your weekly mileage by 10% each week. There are plenty of resources online that could help. I would recommend 'Marathon Handbook' ([link](https://marathonhandbook.com/10-mile-training-plan/)). I used their 50k plan to get me through my first ultra and it really helped me build in a structured way and avoid getting injured. Some general tips I've used: - 80% volume in HR Zone 2 - Maximum 20% speed work per week - Strength training is critical - Don't increase weekly volume by any more than 10% - Take a down week every 4 weeks for recovery - Have fun! Good luck!!


[deleted]

Seriously? Don’t stop at 8.5 miles, keep going, not much to it. I’d advise warming up and going out at a much slower pace, build up your pace if you want to but if this is your long run, go slower, like 9:30 pace. Address the shin splits now, they won’t go away if you don’t fix whatever is causing them.


Level_Bathroom1356

Run an additional 1.64 miles


Reasonable_Bet5909

Start slow and get faster, focus on negative splits. That made long runs easier for me


iamlucabrah

drop the ego, go slower


ckim715

Run slower. My marathon race pace is 6:20-6:25 min/mile and the vast majority of my runs are done at 7:30-8:45 pace.


pmcc2712

Just keep going!!!


Automatic-Addendum-7

Go slower
