Great Derby today! Not a carbon plate in sight 🤔

@Matthew__w It’s certainly both, but I think it’s more shoes than extra carbs.

@scottfaubs For arguments sake, is it likely the shoes or is it likely the fuelling? I know we hear more and more on higher carb intake than before. Curious what you think here.

This likely contradicts opinions I had in the past, but I’m marinating on the take that super shoes may end up being one of the worst things ever in terms of watching interesting and compelling elite level marathons.

That lack of downside drastically shrinks the tactical aspect of the marathon and makes the race attackable for all 42.2km and means that basically no one blows up anymore. This leads less drama.

Sure, you might go out too fast and spike your lactate but you’re not going to ever get the feeling of anacondas constricting around your calves the way people did pre ~2020 when super shoes became ubiquitous.

I made a video for @teamrunrunners about how to attack the @bostonmarathon course. I hope you enjoy it! youtu.be/5gOtDTunGsQ?si…

If you are targeting 3 hours, you should be trying to get 180-240 g of carbs total. Here’s a road map to get there: Right before gun- 30g gel From 0-30 mins sipping on carb drink- 40g 45 mins 30g gel 1:15 30g gel 1:45 30g gel 2:30 30g gel 190 total.

If you’re getting ready for a spring marathon here’s some race day fueling info for you. You want AT LEAST 60 grams of carbs/hour, ideally you can get down 80. That doesn’t mean each hour you need to get down 60g, it’s more about an average over the course of the race.

@ThePapaLinks I feel confident I have a top 5 slowest 5k PB by anyone who has broken 2:09. 13:51

I’m curious, what’s the slowest 5k PB by a man that has also run under 2:16 in the marathon?

Thinking about # burrito

@daviidn02 @fluidathletics No. Burritos should be eaten. Not run past.

@fluidathletics Are we back in the golden age of burrito era again? @scottfaubs

I try to be accepting and open-minded about dumb running shit but then I find about "Burrito Leagues" these are not serious people

@ThePapaLinks @PFTCommenter @BarstoolBigCat

Hey @PFTCommenter & @BarstoolBigCat, if I get top 10 at the Chicago Marathon next week can I come to the office and watch football with the guys?

@samson_damato 8-10x 10 second hill sprints (very steep) at mile effort or faster with 2 full mins rest between. It’s easiest on a treadmill you can crank up to like 12%.

@scottfaubs Glad to have your input Scott, would you mind sharing how you incorporate strides into your easy runs (if you do)?

Adding 8x :20 strides to two of your easy runs per week will change your life

@samson_damato This is by far the worst way to add strides to an easy run. Hard efforts over ~10 seconds generate lactate, and it takes ~2 minutes for lactate to clear the legs. You essentially just turned two of your easy runs into fartleks that don’t improve fitness or recovery.

to clarify a few things... 20 seconds on / 40 seconds off, repeated 8 times (8 mins total) I like to treat ON segments as = 80-90% effort, never a full sprint ex: If I'm doing an 8 mile run, I'll usually start this at 3.5mi to break up the run into smaller chunks Easy way to get the legs turning and heart rate up a few times a week. Hope this helps!

I am doing a AMA over on the Portland Running Company IG for the next hour. Pop over if you have any questions.
