What'd you do? Did you get some vertical? Did you get to the track? Did you what would you do? What'd you do today on your run? I was I felt fortunate to Get into the mountains and it snowed last night in Denver so Basically the mountains were a little intense, but I got some good uphill work in Out at Deer Creek if you're local here in Denver, you know where Deer Creek is at It's a solid place to run if you're ever visiting Denver and you're looking for a good like 10 to 15 mile trail run With some pretty good vertical look up Deer Creek and it's kind of southwest Denver. It's a good spot to go to Oh treadmill. Oh, man. Oh meh is right You race this weekend. So not so much. That's from the blue collar runner and Recovery day there we go Brent young elliptical machine.

So I want to give a shout out to Jesse and I believe Jesse is in New York City, but Jesse's running like hundred mile weeks right now. So shout out to Jesse you're crushing it and for everyone that Is not in the D'Amour global running group yet on Strava. It's pretty fun I must say and you know what? I'm enjoying the most out of the experience there on Strava is looking at the I Love looking at your pictures, but I also really love clicking on the maps as to where you're running Oh my goodness, and we'll get to that in a second Andrew and so click on the maps as to where you're running around the world And I'm like I I just I don't I'm not gonna start drooling But I get so excited to go Explore the world with my own two feet in some of the places that you are running whether it's Switzerland whether it's Japan whether it's Malaysia whether it's all over literally all over the world Anyway, so that's what I'm enjoying most about the D'Amour global running and All right, so let's see here. I'm just gonna and yes super chats do exist here on the channel It's a way to support the channel, and I always appreciate it But if you have a specific question Because there's a lot of questions that come into the chat that I'm not always able to get to and one just came in It looks like from Andrew and they're always highlighted. So Andrew Let's see here at what what he's saying for your wine fund The technical gremlins will necessitate a glass or two have true love deliver one to the studio Yes, listen Andrew. I don't know if true love is still awake It was a big day for true love taking care of the kids But true love if you're listening, I would take a wine in the studio. You better believe it Andrew You're amazing. Thank you for the super chat. That's awesome. Oh my goodness and 75 people watching Despite the technical difficulties Let's see here. Okay, so I'm just I'm just glancing at the chat. This is amazing. This is amazing Okay, moving on and a couple updates real quick is That you're probably wondering remember last week. I said that this week. I would be interviewing my brother Well, the week is not over. I finally heard back from ecam. It's the software live streaming yeah, it's a live streaming software that I purchased about two weeks ago and It's supposed to be easy to use. Well, that has not been the case so far But basically I can I should be able to connect my cameras to the computer so that I can do high-quality live streaming Well, the situation is that I finally got an email back from them today this morning that HDMI Does not work. It has to be a USB connection. So bear with me what I'm gonna do and so mark your calendars What we're gonna do is that my brother when he has a day off work And so I don't it could be really any day in the next five days We're gonna go for it as soon as I get a new cable that is not HDMI. That's what this is right here I need a USB connection. So I'm not giving up on doing that interview this week with my brother and When that's gonna happen. I will announce it on Twitter Facebook Instagram Probably on this on Demor global running on Strava. So stay tuned for that There we go. Oh, you guys are the best. Okay, and moving on here so And yes, if you feel so inclined to spread the link around before we dive in that would be amazing Let's see. I'm just making sure I'm not missing any comments here that Morning easy 7k run from Emillian Emillian Herod and listen if I don't pronounce your name, right? I apologize. Okay Diving in everybody. So I always can sense when I Listen here on this YouTube channel if you're new if you're new basically we cover a lot of topics and Listen, there's a lot of running YouTube channels out there now and that's exciting and whether it's people in Europe Whether it's people in Australia whether it's South America like there's running YouTube Focus channels all over the place, which is amazing Some of them talk about just running shoes and we got a lot of running shoes to talk about tonight Some of them just talk about training some just talk about race vlogs here we basically cover everything and Another super chat just came in so I'll get to that in one minute. Thank you so much and so I Today I published the vlog about Developing the aerobic engine and there it is written down right there And I can just I can always sense when I strike a chord with all of you like that's a topic I can tell you're excited about how to get faster how to run faster and how to develop our aerobic base our Capillary beds and so anyway, it's exciting to see me Find a topic that you're you all are excited about okay diving into a super chat real quick here on your vlog today You said you find that you break through around to the two-hour mark Aerobically and this is from Lake Keaton Builder Earlier in your running journey in your life. Did you hit that earlier? So that's a great question talking about and that connects That's a perfect segue. Thank you so much for that super chat that $10 super chat. You're amazing basically I I would not recommend and you're right So I talked about that two-hour mark and I looked up the study It was actually a study done. There's been a lot of studies, but the first one was really out of Cologne University in Germany in the 70s and they were studying because back then like the science was just not as developed So they were trying to figure out how our runners getting faster and fitter and yeah faster and fitter And so they did study after study in Cologne University In Germany and basically what they found was that after two hours of hard or sorry after two hours of steady aerobic effort that is when these capillary beds really began to Progress or to improve or to be recruited into your lungs, which means you're able to Absorb more oxygen from the air So early in my running I did not run two hours. In fact in high school I think my longest run in high school was about let me think here It's probably about 75 minutes and that might be pushing it a little bit like my coaches I loved my coaches, but I just don't know if we quite went far enough in high school If you know what I mean, so then what happened as I went off to the University of Colorado and and trained under Mark Wetmore Actually, you know, I'll just show you right here. Here's a little a little CU book from my CU days and He immediately basically my my late like I immediately started doing 90 minute runs and then eventually an hour and 45 minute runs and then two hour runs So what happened? I went from a 1627 5k in high school and a lot of you ask about my 5k PR in high school like it was it was respectable But it wasn't it wasn't crazy fast 1627 down to 1446 so almost a two-minute drop by I believe Recruiting these capillary beds and just doing that and obviously we did speed work as well But anyway, I'm getting a little a little in the weeds, but that's a great Thank you for the super chat and for that question I would recommend if like you're newer to running like don't push it. It's got to be I think I Like to add about Let me think here So if you're newer to running like let's say you you just started in the last two years. I would not recommend like going Over two hours maybe approaching two hours depending on how your body is built and if you're not susceptible to injury But it's really it can it can cause injury if you're not careful, especially if you're running on pavement and Concrete, okay, that was a long answer and you just got me going and it's exciting Let's see. Okay. Thank you. I'm just glancing over here at the chat Um, that's awesome. Yes, and everyone just so you know just so you know We've got a celebrity in the house Jason in the chat is the gentleman that did the 5k PR on Saturday morning with me And that was awesome. That was such a lot of you love that That vlog from Saturday. So thank you for being here. It looks like we almost have a hundred people watching That's amazing. And Now I want to Yes, almost a hundred viewers. I want to Open it up to your questions about Aerobic development and how I approach a road I'm happy to share like more about the aerobic development if you didn't see the vlog from this morning that publishes morning You can go back and watch that and I go into more details about a little bit of the science Keeping in mind. I studied history in college. I didn't study any biology or anything. So Any questions and I'm gonna monitor the chat here Let's see and yes, welcome to Daniel Hindi Ben blue collar runner Mason Steve is here Gosh just amazing Nathaniel Angelo Baylor is here Zachary. Okay, there's a question from Zachary Okay, let me get a drink Zachary real quick Can you talk briefly about cross training you do my high arches make me very injury prone So I do workouts on the bike and the roads and only run three times a week The goal is a 130 at the New York City half next month so Zachary I am I do not do a lot of cross training and It basically comes down to time. I should do more in college when I was injured I would go swimming and Zachary. I would say. Oh, yeah, I would do swimming I would do a little bit of the stationary bike But also like I'm I think road biking can be effective Keeping in mind that it will make your your legs bigger and you want to be a little careful Like do if you get into road biking like some of those guys legs turn into tree trunks And if you're going for speed sometimes muscle mass isn't always what you want Like you want to be strong, of course, but anyway, I think if you're okay with hopping in a pool I think that's actually a really good way to Keep a decent aerobic fitness and it's I don't enjoy swimming But anyway, that would be an idea idea idea for you Zachary Thank you for that question and good luck in your New York City half marathon. That's awesome Let us know how you do and is that the one in April or May? Anyway, maybe let us know in the chat Let's see there you go the rower Matthew. That's a good idea. Let's see here That's awesome. Okay, just diving in here. All right, so Any questions and I'm just looking here any other questions about aerobic development? Yeah, and Let's see here. I'm just I want to I want to focus in on this aerobic development for For a minute and I'm gonna dive into that we got the new balance box tonight, so let's see here Yes, that is right Suzanne and Angie, okay Oh, that's a shoe question. Oh Daniel. Oh my goodness Daniel a super chat. You're amazing. You're amazing. Thank you Daniel Okay, here we go this connects well this connects well this is from Cole Cole asked Do you have any tips for tempo workouts? How many tempo miles should I be doing in training for the marathon? Cole I love that question. I will do my best to keep it concise for everybody watching live. I love Tempo workouts also known as threshold workouts So basically your you a tempo workout or a threshold workout. You're approaching That lactate where you begin to go into that anaerobic debt But you don't want to push through into the anaerobic You want to get as close basically as close as possible without pushing through into the anaerobic state of breathing and So Do you I have any tips for tempo workouts? So what I like so Cole, this is what I'm gonna do I'm going to do a tempo run or a threshold run Every other week basically starting this Saturday is gonna be my first Baby and believe it or not the Cleveland Marathon is 12 weeks away at three months. I that's amazing like I January was a great month of training February has been great But I it's like it's so exciting to be under 90 days to go So anyway, the tempo work is gonna start for me this week Baby tempo work. So I'm gonna do a three mile tempo. Nice. You know, I I'll probably shoot for five Like 550 a mile approximately and so Cole what I'm gonna do is a three mile tempo and then in two weeks I'm gonna do a six mile tempo and then in two weeks. I'll do a nine mile tempo and progress from there So good question From Cole, I appreciate you asking that and that will but Cole I would recommend like not diving in like don't go do a ten mile tempo You know for it right right out right off the bat. Let your body get used to it Okay, moving on here and thank you Daniel again for the super chat 93 watching. Can we break a hundred tonight? Can we break a hundred? Okay? Let's see. This is from AJ guy guy Gaiman 67 How do you know that you are staying aerobic and not approaching LT awesome channel keeping me motivated dealing with a lingering HS injury HS injury, what would that be? HS I Don't know what that is. I'm sorry. I let us know what that is. So sorry. You're dealing with that injury so AJ I have been Trained by my coaches, especially Mark Webmore to go by feel and I've Worn a heart rate monitor I think once in my life in high school and I'm actually just so you know I'm really interested in Getting a heart rate monitor in 2019 Basically to give all of you some more data on some of my runs because a lot of you are asking about the heart rate But right now I don't wear a heart rate and AJ Basically what we called it in college with sensory data. So you're listening to your breathing That's probably the easiest way to tell if you're going too hard and What else you can listen of course to your legs your legs will start barking at you if you're going too fast and At the end of the day you need to figure out Your pacing based off of and this is okay based off of your PRs And so whether you're an 18 minute PR for a 5k or maybe you're maybe you're a 25 minute PR for a 5k so from there that's how you can determine Basically like how to do tempo work and Yeah, so I oh gosh, I thank you for the super chat. I don't know if I answered it real well, but You just really have to continue to Listen to your breathing and making sure You're not breathing too hard like you're not go you don't want to be sucking air in too hard Oh gosh, and then also okay one more idea Stop in the middle of your run And just take your pulse if you don't have a heart rate monitor Take your pulse and make sure you're not skyrocketing like you know above like 130. I'll just throw that out there So anyway, good question. Thank you so much for the super chat. Hopefully I helped you Um answer that answer that oh a hamstring that makes sense susanne. Thank you for helping There you go hamstring. Okay. I was like hs. Huh, okay moving on any other questions. Let's see here Is tempo pace marathon pace that is from jason Is tempo pace marathon pace? No, um Your tempo pace should be Now, okay, so this is a good question It should be your tempo pace should be slower. Like you should be racing Faster than your tempo runs. Um now for a marathon, obviously like You're gonna, you know, you're gonna be running hard But then at the end of the race your split times are probably gonna be slower Um, but I know so your tempo runs you don't want to be going race pace if that helps jason um for I've so The rule of thumb is usually 20 to 30 seconds slower per mile For your 5 k pr. That's kind of the rough rule of thumb. Um, just putting that out there. So okay Let's see here And joel, I see your question about strength training. I will I will get to that in a minute I just want to make sure I'm not missing any about uh aerobic development 98 watching. Oh Baby, here we are I'm at the end of the second month of a three month training cycle before my first 50k On march 20 29th Suggestions for how to build my base in the last month would be awesome slow and steady uh, let's see here so Your two of three done. Okay. So johnny good question. You don't want to go too hard with a month to go Hmm Preferably johnny You want to be building your base? I would say like in this last month would be a higher volume time And then like the last I like to taper like 10 to 14 days out from a peak race But you still have a couple weeks right now to build for sure And depending on the 50k if it's a hilly course, I would recommend um Adding hill work to your your workouts to your to your runs like 50k is an above It's really a different animal is what I discovered in the past Four years of doing ultra running like you need a good aerobic base for sure But you also need strength like it's that extra You know five to six miles past the marathon distance that always Test me in every 50k that I've run. Um, so anyway, that would be my recommendation instead of Ramping and I don't know where you live. So I don't know if you have hills around you But rather than ramping up volume higher. I would actually mix in maybe a little more. Um Hill work. So good question johnny, but Yeah, hopefully anyway, let us know how the race goes. I hope that helps a little bit. Okay. Let's see here Um, let's see here Oh, Mike. Thank you. Appreciate that, Mike Uh, that's super chat. That's awesome shout out to Mike. Okay, and then Joel. I'll just dive into it here um What do you do for strength training? So that's from Joel Joel. I I do go to the gym. Um, and I need to do better at balance Joel so in running like a running economy So how we carry ourselves how we pump our arms how our our knee drive our foot strike All of those little muscles in our body And I'm realizing I just forgot to do something maybe we'll do it here in a minute a little trivia And if it connects to our our body and like anyway, um, so Joel I So last Joel last summer I was doing Squats with pretty heavy weight not too not too much but pretty had what was it was like about 140 and I weigh about 120 So it wasn't crazy and I was doing that to get ready for a hundred mile race Well, a lot of you know how that hundred mile race went it didn't go so well I had to drop at 50 miles mostly because of my planter fasciitis and anyway, it was it was kind of crazy, but um I do believe in strength training Joel I but I'd like to fine tune it to Balancing and making sure that I'm firing the little muscles around my knee around my ankle Definitely in my feet because I have a history of injuries in my feet So I need to make some videos soon some vlogs soon about that topic. So thank you for that. Oh my goodness It took it took my breath away Suzanne. Thank you for the $10 super chat. You're amazing Uh, Suzanne's a huge. Oh man, Suzanne. You're just the best. Yeah, you're the best. I appreciate that Oh, man. Okay. Let's see here moving on I'm just diving in here How do I best prepare aerobically? That's from Daniel. So Daniel, maybe you could give me a little more context. I'll monitor the chat How do I best prepare aerobically like maybe for a half marathon 10k? Or are you just talking in general? So maybe I'll maybe give me a little more context and I'll try and help you there Matthew that's hilarious When are you going to do my more plyometrics videos? Nathaniel. Thank you I have been doing my plyometrics, but I haven't been filming it. There's only so many hours in a day I can't always set up the camera, but Nathaniel Nathaniel, maybe you make the call when should I make more plyometrics videos? Let's say Well, what is today Wednesday? Um, this week's a little crazy. Who knows actually tomorrow might at might it's either gonna It could either be tomorrow. It would be early next week. Thank you for the reminder I will mark that down. Uh, let's see here. I'm just showing this here Uh one second. Okay, I'm gonna dive into the box here And basically if there's no other questions about aerobic training and thank you again Let's see here. Oh There we go. Okay. Sorry about that. Um, daniel fat dog 120 is official training plan miles per week And daniel, I'm sorry. I don't know when the fat dog 120 is is it in june? Um, but here we go training plan. So daniel, that's an amazing race to get ready for. Um Daniel again, I'm going I'm going to go back to kind of what I just said I think hill work is more important than high high volume I think daniel if you can get into the At your peak mileage if you can get into 70 to 90 a week That would be awesome. Like but I I realize like you have a life and that's hard to do That's really hard to do. Um, so I would recommend though getting approach 70 at least For 120 mile race and I would mix in I would mix in a um, let me just think here for a second. I would mix in at least a 35 Mile training run, maybe even a 40 Depending on like I don't know your whole background But you're gonna need to get the body used to running Long distances and here's actually a better an even better tip Do a do a 25 mile long run on saturday and then do a A 30 mile long run on sunday so back to back hard days because that second day and again I don't know your injury history. So you've got to be careful, but those back to back long days will get your muscles ready for That 120 I hope that helps daniel email me and we'll keep talking. It's in august. Okay. It's in august So you've got a lot of you've got a lot of time. That's good to hear Um, hopefully that helps get the wheels turning But I don't think you need to run 100 miles a week just so you know daniel. All right, you all are the best Let's see here live every wednesday. That's right blue collar runner. Who else is here draiden Um draiden. Yes next wednesday, but I might interview my brother In the next two three four days. I just need to go get a new cable. Hopefully hopefully, okay Let's see rodrigo. What's your take on moderate long runs versus all easy long runs? Let's see Well rodrigo depends on what you're training for If you're getting ready for a marathon, let's say I would say you do need to do long runs If you're okay, and somebody made this point in the vlog like in the comments Maybe a month ago or two months ago. There's a difference between racing them like racing a marathon and running a marathon Like if you want to if you want to approach a pr You're gonna have to you know run your long runs at a decent clip For me, that's you know 650 pace to 720 pace approximately Depending on the terrain and so yeah, I think you do need to mix in Um And I yeah, I do think you need to mix in some higher speed long runs not Not you know for me not six twenties or six minute pace. That's too fast. That's like tempo pace Tempo pace for me. So approximately um Let's see here. Thank you for being here everyone ryan. I'm just looking over. I gotta take a drink real quick Logan is here. Okay You all are amazing amazing Oh my goodness. Okay. Oh for a 5k. Okay Yeah, that that changes things up a little bit. Um Gosh, anyway, rodrigo, maybe email me. We can get more into the details But I do think you need to run a little faster on your long runs. Maybe not every week. Um, But every other week. Yeah, anyway 5k is kind of a whole different animal. Okay Let's dive into the box because we do have some good ones in here Um Actually, I take that back. I want to I want to stay on schedule here shoes Let's transition to shoes any questions about shoes. And yes, I've got something Kind of fun here and I'm not doing this to uh to brag or to To boast but you know, like I'm all about spreading the running shoe love around if you watch the vlogs this week You know that we're now I'm going to be receiving any gently used running shoes from all in all of you which I categorize as like under 30 miles Ideally like under 20 miles on a pair of shoes Uh, for example, like the vamero 14s now have like 80 miles And I wouldn't feel comfortable sending these out to someone because you know, they have 80 miles in them So their their lifespan is dropping rapidly. Uh, but I kind of splurged. All right. I don't do this too often I don't buy a pair of shoes that I will only wear like Three times in the next year. We'll see but okay I've been I've been saving this well for the last three hours. I have not opened it We're going to open it together. And by the way, thank you for being here. Oh, man What's it gonna be? What's it gonna be? And I don't want the box. Hold on Okay Okay I should have should have packed a should have packed a knife. Oh, you may have just seen it. You may have just seen it Hold on Okay, this is my this is my splurge. All right, this is the first time opening them up with you Wow, the box is really high quality You we're gonna have to maybe we should hang it up tonight. Uh, hold on Okay, why do they make it so hard to open? Okay, hold on I can't figure it out. I can't figure it out. Uh, oh, there we go. Okay. Here Innovates Innovate my first pair ever of innovate shoes These are not the mud claws. Guess what these are The arctic claws the art don't you just love that name the arctic claws these shoes as you can maybe see there have spikes Built into the shoe. Listen. I had to splurge. This is kind of my my little treat to myself I did basically with all of these mountain runs. Remember I ran up Pike's Peak last week and I ran into a ton of ice Well after that run I said, okay Okay, Pike's Peak you're gonna throw ice at me. I'm gonna throw the arctic claws bad at back at you So I'm pretty excited about this. Uh, man. Anyway, so this is this First pair of innovate shoes ever Oh the arctic claw 300 Gotta get that new new shoe smell. You know what I mean Uh, you guys are the best. Okay We got maybe Maybe maybe at the end of the uh, live stream. We'll hang that we'll hang the box up. So that is exciting I'm glad I waited to open these with all of you. You all are the best and Listen, if they don't work out, who knows maybe one of you will end up with these. No, probably not probably not Okay, moving on. Where should I put this guy? We're gonna take the turbo down and put that guy right up there Oh my goodness. Oh my goodness investment. That's right and making sure I don't fall on the ice. That's what it's all about so let's move on to Let's move on to uh, running shoe questions and I'm ready for you Uh, weigh them live for the fam. That is a good. That's good. I'll try and do that Let me just get the uh, let me get the scale going here But um there I could tell just holding them. They're they're definitely a little heavy Um, but that's okay. I don't mind training just so you know, one of my tricks of the trade is to Uh train in heavy shoes so that when you put When you put a lightweight shoe on when you put a lightweight shoe on after training in heavy shoes like the vermero 14 which is right here uh, basically Basically, I feel like I can fly on race day when I put on a light shoe after training in a heavy shoe So, um anyway just a little strategy. Okay. We're gonna weigh it. We're gonna weigh it But I don't know if I can show you here the scale. You're ready for the actually let me take the paper out Any guesses as to how much the innovate weighs and ounces or grams? I can tell you it's pretty heavy Will it be heavier than the speed cross five? That is the question here Oh my goodness. Okay. Any guesses out there Any guesses? Oh interesting interesting Oh my goodness. Okay So, oh josh, that's a great question. Will I use the innovate for the vertical k race? Josh That is a good question. So josh, here's the deal I don't have the speed cross five in the studio right now But basically keep those guesses coming. I love it. I love it Basically, uh, the speed cross fives will do fine because The mountain that I'm running up for the vertical k race is snow And these shoes will be great in snow But they're really designed to keep you from falling on your butt on the ice Um, but then anyway, josh, let's find out I will take these out probably friday and give them a go and see how they perform. Thank you for the question josh Okay. Oh baler is correct spot on the nose 11 ounces spot on the nose 311 grams 311 grams that is amazing. Nope 316 grams my bad Um, so that is cool. I'm glad I got to open those with all of you And let me just see if there's any questions rolling in When will your float ride run run fast pros debut from susanne? Where are they? Oh, hold on. Let me get my microphone pack. Great question susanne So i'll be honest I'm a little obsessed with this shoe And I haven't even taken it outside yet because i'm a little afraid. This is the rebock float ride run fast pro What's the deal with these names everybody and base i'm obsessed with it. I this shoe weighs three ounces and Um, I don't know susanne. Basically. It's been actually pretty snowy Every ever sent here in denver ever since I got this shoe And I just I I don't want I don't want to ruin the midsole and it's just so nice to hold. It's so light weight So susanne, I don't have an answer for you and I know a lot of people are interested in hearing my thoughts But I haven't forgotten about it. Trust me soon soon. Okay. Let's see here Um Okay, and I do want to give an update actually i'm going to dive in to a question here I'm hoping I pull it out of the new balance box and I just love how all of you um I just love how all of you chitchat in the chitchat in the um Okay, not that i'm gonna i'm gonna go with this one because it's a shoe question. Okay, here we go This is from scott. It's kind of long Okay, oh susanne indoor track. That would be nice I found her youtube channel about a month ago while looking for reviews on the Nike vamero 14. I really enjoy watching your videos every morning over my coffee It sounds like quite a few folks watch the vlog because it publishes every morning at 5 a.m. And so Um, that's awesome. Like if we can share a cup of coffee together, I like that I like that your videos are encouraging inspiring and motivational for running but also for life in general I'm looking at purchasing a new running shoe. I've worn the vamero 12 and thought it was a solid shoe Obviously, they have upgraded since the 12. Also. I've tried the a6 gel nimbus But wasn't impressed. I found it to be stiff and cumbersome the new balance 1080 v9 is a shoe I'm curious about. Are you familiar with the new balance 1080 v9 or done a review on it? I have not scott the tongue issues I keep hearing about on the vamero 14 have me concerned in your opinion, which would be the better way to go scott Here's where i'm at. I love The ride of the nike vamero 14. I love the like I really enjoy the shoe And i'm gonna stay patient with it I'm not gonna give up on it quite yet, but I did run in this shoe yesterday And sure enough the pain was still there, but less I tied the shoes not as tight But basically it's right here For me and the nike vamero 14s and it's like why put yourself through that? I don't know I'm putting myself through that slight pain Yesterday because I really do enjoy The ride and I took it out for 20 miles yesterday at 650 a mile So a solid pace and it just and it's a little heavy and so you know working a little harder in it um Anyway scott, I will say I don't know if I can fully recommend this At this point only because of that pain like I don't want to recommend a shoe That is causing me pain in my foot. So good question scott. Thank you for that. I appreciate it Uh, okay diving back into this chat here mic I have not selected my marathon shoe yet, but mic remind me if i'm wrong I believe the soccany fast twitch eight Was your shoe that you wore for your marathon pr Let me know in the chat this guy like I took it out and I it didn't quite feel like a marathon shoe, but I could be wrong I'm beholden to no one. I'm open to all ideas good question mic. I have not chosen A marathon shoe yet. So let me just take a quick drink here um Okay, are they let's see steve asked. Are they a neutral shoe? I don't know if you're talking about the innovate shoe steve or the or the rebox shoe um, but I most a lot of I I would say all of my shoes are neutral shoes just so you know steve Although that innovate I can tell is pretty well built pretty solid um, okay Moving on here dylan asks what was special about the turbos? Was it worth the 180 dollar investment? Good question dylan Dylan and I I commented about this shoe in the last week In the in the comments on a vlog I I'm afraid At this point in the training block So I'm you know, I'm early in the training block. I'm I'm heading toward the middle So the marathon is in three months I'm afraid to put the shoe on because I don't want to run too fast for like I I took the shoe for 20 mile runs last fall And I loved it. I really loved it And but I ran a little too fast in those 20 mile runs. I don't know. It's a nice ride It's lightweight. I like I like the cushion. Um, it's got that zoom x foam I think they really nailed it with this one and 180 dollars, that's the other question. I would say I think I actually already answered this in a vlog I would say No, I think the price point for this would be perfect at like really perfect at 150 And but I realized like they got it, you know, they're they're making money and I would this shoe would be perfect at 150 dollars 180 It is that's a lot. I would just say I don't know maybe wait until the price comes down a little bit And maybe some of you know of some deals for the turbo right now that I don't know about so good question I I'm afraid to wear it though. I haven't worn this shoe since November or early December. So you're amazing. You guys rock Good question. Anyone else wearing soccany? That's from running out to altitude Good question. I think we have a couple of other other soccany fans here that I know about And I'm I'm interested just so you know running at altitude. I'm interested in the soccany Uh freedom iso I'm I'm interested in it. I tried it on at a shoe store Last fall and I just it didn't like knock me like didn't knock my socks off So I didn't get it, but I'm interested for sure. Good question. Um, okay Let me just make sure I'm not missing any others Okay, Mike. Nice. Good to hear Mike that it was that's awesome And I ran a 119 half in it a few days back 119 Mike, that's awesome. Oh man. So Nike. Uh, sorry night. Mike is wore the fast twitch eight And wore it ran a 119. So anyway, if you're looking for a half marathon or a marathon option There's people out. There's you know, this is this could be an option could be an option I would say a lot of good Ground feel in this shoe a lot of good ground feel. Okay moving on and let's see um Same here love my iso triumph nice Uh try finish line.com. That's from angelo Okay, let me just pull out another question here And I think we will open it up now to open q and a anything you want to ask me about Whether it's about life running Uh shoes anything whatever you want to ask. Um Let's see So let me just pull out this guy see what that is And again, you can always email me your questions and I will put them in the box Um for the next week sound good sound good Uh, there we go. Okay Let's see from Matthew Hey, Seth. I've got a question. Normally I run my usual easy days. You know what? I'm gonna save this because it's not quite I'm gonna save this Matthew. I'll come back to that. Um, let's just see Johnny asks good 50k shoe. I'm in solemn since rides right now, but I'm not comfortable past 20 miles any suggestions and why Oh, johnny johnny put me on the spot johnny on the spot I So I'm I have not tried these shoes, but johnny just some ideas the soccany, uh peregrine I never know how to say that peregrine peregrine. Um, I mean I'm intrigued about for 2019 And the new balance summit, uh king of the mountain. I'm also interested in Uh, the hoca challenger atr five I was in the atr four last year and it treated me pretty well But it broke down pretty quick like the upper and a lot of hoca shoes are pretty famous for Breaking down quickly through the upper. So um, but anyway, hoca challenger atr five But and I need to try the soccany peregrine peregrine and the um and the new balance summit king of the mountain And then okay the solemn ultra. It's not out here right now the solemn ultra Uh, I try I wore that in my 100 mile attempt. No, I didn't I what when did I wear that? I guess I wore it in a 50k last year and it treated me and it worked out well the solemn ultra Um and guys use that shoe that wear that win UTMB so the biggest 100 mile race in europe Two years ago france schwa from France was in the solemn ultra when he won UTMB so that's a pretty big deal so he can go the distance for sure. I hope that helps johnny. Okay That's good to hear that the peregrines are comfy from blue collar runner. Okay, let's see here um Insanity mba set. I'm doing the pittsburgh half marathon this may but also doing track I'm worried that I might not be able to taper properly before the race How much of a problem do you think that would be? let's see I think I think you'll be okay like if As long as you're it depends on when you're if you're running in the state track meet Like that could set you up for some good Turnover, you know that could set you up for some really good turnover. So I wouldn't be too afraid about The the gap I I would be a little more afraid about and I'm guessing you're you're a one Miler and two miler if you're racing a half marathon I'd be a little more concerned about just making sure you have a good aerobic base before the pittsburgh half so Um, I think you'd be okay. I think again back to the turnover You should have some really solid Leg speed coming off of the track. So let us know how it goes. Good question Let's see here. Tyler asks what food do you usually eat the day before and day of race day? Oh tyler, um Half a banana on race day um A piece of toast And depending on the distance depending on the distance tyler, but a half a banana a piece of toast and Maybe some raisins, maybe a granola bar like in the car ride there not too much Um, yeah, so hopefully I don't know. I'm sure I haven't raced in a little while So I'm kind of racking my brain and then the day before Um, I've always done the rule of thumb that you need to Carbo load if you're doing like a 50k You don't want to do it the night before the race You want to start like two three even four days before especially for like a hundred miler. Um, you don't like Piling in like a ton of spaghetti the night before I don't I don't like I don't think that's that smart because your body is like still processing everything Um And so I think two nights before is better and even three nights Especially if you're racing like above a marathon like an ultra marathon. So good question Uh, let's see Jules, yes, I am going to interview Mike warden. Absolutely. He's a beast. Uh, we'll talk more about him soon Okay, and again, thank you for all the super chats that came in tonight I'm just gonna okay. I'm gonna say right now any question that comes in from here forward I would I will answer uh because I want to respect your time and thank you for your patience at the beginning tonight It was a little insane Oh gosh, I but we're here now. We're here now. Uh, we had a little technical difficulty Let's see Hoka Nepali from Daniel. Yes. Okay Angie Stowe asked what about the merchandise? And so I did give a little update on the t-shirts Um, or did I maybe I forgot because they are so the design is done Um, and I I'm working with two different companies right now As far as uh getting a bid on who to go with for printing So and then we've also tested the design on different colors So as far as for the t-shirts and so we we got gray going we got black we got white and yes We've got baby blue. Um, so anyway, uh, that's exciting and I cannot wait For those so I'm thinking actually I have two emails right now sitting in my inbox Uh that I need to respond to about the t-shirts. Thank you Angie for the new Um, oh my goodness Angie. Thank you for that super chat 20 dollars. Holy smokes that that's that's humbling humbling Angie You're amazing. Uh, you're amazing. So okay diving in here. I'm gonna answer every single question from here on out Heck yes interview warden for sure. I will Mike Kurt I am late here, but it is the audio track a little off for other folks kurt I believe it is I apologize like we had a rough night on the technical side kurt Let's see here. Why didn't you like the pegasus 35 for more than eight miles? That's from trevor trevor My legs I think the I think it came down. I'm trying to remember wearing them I think it came down to the responsiveness and If I wanted to save my legs for the next day It felt like after even after six miles I felt like I was working just a little more than I needed to But trust me, there's people out there that love the pegasus 35s for for runs I just don't know if it's the best option for Um For longer for longer runs or middle distance runs, but good question trevor Good question. Oh blue collar runner. You're the best two dollars Super chat guys blue collar runner has his own youtube channel. He's uh, you're the best. Thank you And I believe he's from indiana. Shout out to indiana again. Um, so trevor. Thanks for the question Uh, yes, daniel. Absolutely for angie. Absolutely Um, hey sep. I am a seventh grader and I want to up my training, but I'm afraid I might get hurt What do you think? Yes, ellison, uh, thank you for being here and enjoy those early days of running. I started running in seventh grade um I was a soccer player and I I've told this story before but I wasn't strong enough to kick a soccer ball from the Corn I was I weighed like 95 pounds I was like five foot two inches and I couldn't kick the soccer ball from the corner kick Into like toward the goal for a corner kick And from that point forward, I was like, okay, the ball went halfway I'm just gonna eliminate the ball and just start running and just I never stopped and I never stopped. So ellison, uh, welcome to the running world I don't know how long you've been running. I would say ellison you do need to be careful and hopefully you have a coach Don't don't push it too much. Um, you're in middle school. I mean Oh, man, just enjoy like just enjoy the times. Um I'll throw you a number but like listen to your coach is the bottom line Like I think I was probably running about 20 miles a week in middle school. So maybe 15 That's you know, but ellison. Um, anyway, just enjoy the time It's it's a beautiful time to be a runner when you're that young and guess what Be patient. You're gonna get stronger. You're gonna get strong It just it takes I was I in my sophomore year of high school. I went from like 95 pounds to like 120 pounds So you will grow and get stronger. Okay Junior says, uh, hola from mexico. Thank you junior for watching Is anyone out there running in the new balance 1500? That's from curt I am not curt, but maybe somebody else is let curt know Uh, jordan similar experience with a peg 35. There you go. That's good to hear That's interesting to hear. Okay. And let's see here Uh Sasha I do and that must have been a reply to somebody else Ryan said I use the peg 35 for six to 10 miles. Anything past 10 starts to firm up. Interesting, ryan Good to hear all this good to hear all this. Okay, ryan had asked a question What would be your preferential shoe for longer runs the beacon? um ryan I use the beacon for easy days only because of that nice cushion I I love to use the shoe for relaxing and just like recovering from a hard day Frankly, I'm hoping the vamero 14 is kind of a workhorse for me. Excuse me in 2019 Oh, this pain that's being caused right there on my left foot is driving me a little insane But I love the ride. I actually enjoy that it's a little heavier so that When I do put on racing shoes, it feels like I'm walking on air And I think it's going to be durable. So I think I could, you know, we can get 250 to 300 to 350 miles easily out of this shoe like it just seems well constructed Except the major issue is the tongue on the shoe. They didn't Something is going on and I'm reading about it in blog posts and I like it's not just me They didn't they missed the mark with the tongue of the shoe. So um And then I guess I'll be honest I'll probably use the turbo a little bit for long runs Oh And the sketchers razor three I Am enjoy now. I don't know if I'll take this over 15 miles So like for a 20 mile run It definitely will do the trick, but like it's it's it's a pretty fast shoe the sketchers razor three So those are a couple thoughts for you. Uh, okay, we're having a ball here. Um, let's see Oh my goodness. What shoes are you thinking about using for the marathon? Do you have a couple solid candidates? That's from daniel daniel I think I actually mentioned that a minute ago. It was the I mean, how could I not have the vapor fly in the running? and then um What are the other shoes inside? um I'm drawing a blank because guess what it's getting a little late and I'm getting and I had a big run and I'm Get a little tired, but of course this guy is in the running. I don't think the Why am I drawing a blank? Okay? There it is. That's what I couldn't see it the carbon rocket is Not in the running anymore. Just a little too heavy And uh, the one millimeter drop is just not doing it for me. Just not doing it for me You guys saw that vlog from a couple days ago. Okay, let's see here Suzanne listen to your foot. I know I know I'm trying. I want it to work so bad. Um Yes plans to test out the zoom fly absolutely absolutely aj That'll be so many shoes so little time as we like to say, okay Let's see if there's any other questions. I want to make sure um Oh, do you think you own them currently as far as I think the shoe that I'm gonna wear probably daniel probably probably Uh, okay. I think okay brad's we're applying to kurt. I think we're good. I think we're good Thank you for being here and for persevering um Oh again The goal is to interview my brother this week. So we'll probably see you sooner rather than later. Hopefully Again, I'm gonna go to best buy tomorrow and see if they have a new cable for live streaming that connects to usb and not hdmi Why they don't work why the software doesn't work with hdmi is a little beyond me So thank you for being here.
