How To Run More Miles Per Week (Safely)

Quick reminder to watch your step, not just your mileage when running, because all it takes is one wrong step and boom there goes your ankle. Speaking from experience lol

Great advice Ben.... Picture of me at 2:28....2572, following Ben's plan & great YT videos....still going strong after all these years...Love❤from Perth, Australia 👍👍

I swear by using HRV as a guide. If I were 26 (instead of 46) I could do whatever and recover quickly. I’ve found that when I am “green” I know I will have a good and productive workout.

Entering week 4 of my training block and so glad that this is a recovery week. Absolutely love this design. This is my second time following Ben’s L4 plan, but doing it in the summer is so much harder than in the winter. I am barely hitting any of the goal paces and really not sure how things will turn out in the fall

I started doing magnesium capsules two times daily just for anxiety (alongside vitamin B, theanine, zinc, and vitamin D), and I noticed that one of the best benefits was my muscles felt like they could recover a big quicker than before

Currently training for the first time according to Ben's plan (half marathon), very good results so far! So happy that found and pick it! Absolutely recommend!

Some debunk collagen but it has really helped my joint issues. 6 mths ago at the age of 54 my knees post run and sometimes on the run were becoming a problem and sport nutrition expert I had a consultation with recommended collagen at a dose of 20g per day and to mix up the types of collagen. I mix this into milk along with whey and creatine and can see huge improvements. Magnesium does not work for me, tried all the forms and all give me headaches and do not improve my sleep but make it worse, if you get enough magnesium in your diet and then supplement on top then can over do it and headaches occur. I never get doms which maybe down to strict gym routine within my 8 day cycle - run/gym/run/rest/run/gym/run/rest and repeat. Most I see just pussy around with the gym work, gym sessions are harder than running sessions if do correctly and work the entire body. A strong core is just as important as strong legs.

I'm still using one of your training plans. Sometimes I take in magnesium before sleep. I also try to pay attention to overall stress (including work load etc.).

I finally have an appreciation for easy runs, after getting two stress fractures in 12 months. Injuries can undo so much of your hard work and it gets demotivating trying to build back up

probably the most useful video for me, cause i was consistently doing 5ks then suddenly did an 17 k and i got patellar tendonitis
