Why Your Long Runs Aren’t Working (and How to Fix Them)
If you're struggling with your long runs, this video is for you! Discover why your long runs aren't working and how to fix them for better results.
Struggling to get faster even though you’re smashing your long runs every weekend? You’re not alone—and today, I’m going to show you exactly why your long runs might be working against your progress and how one small change can completely transform your training.
In this video, I break down a real example from a viewer: a 24-mile run with 20 miles steady and 4 at marathon pace. Sounds solid, right? But here’s the truth—it’s not specific enough to be race-prep, and it’s too hard to build your aerobic base. It falls into the grey zone—and that’s where progress stalls.
In This Video, You’ll Learn:
1. The Real Purpose of Long Runs: Endurance or specificity—not both at once.
2. What Most Runners Get Wrong: Why your long run might not be delivering results.
3. Three Smarter Long Run Alternatives: Proven formats that maximize adaptation.
4. When to Go Easy vs. When to Simulate Race Pace
5. The Mindset Shift to Train Smarter, Not Just Harder
Whether you’re training for a marathon or just trying to improve your endurance, this episode will help you build a long run strategy that actually works.
