Goal setting & getting results with Jake Lowe

Should we be training with a lot of variety (different speeds, shoes, cross training, strength training)? Or should we get really good at running on one surface, in the same shoes & not deviate? 
Brodie dives into the pros and cons of both strategies so you can self-reflect & come up with your own decision. 
To finish off, Brodie fires away 6 questions you should ask yourself: 
<ol> 
 <li> What type of runner do you want to be? </li> 
 <li> What has your injury history been like in the past? </li> 
 <li> Do you enjoy variety? </li> 
 <li> Are you spreading yourself too thin? </li> 
 <li> Should I be upping my specificity close to race time? </li>

On this episode of the Run Smarter Podcast, Brodie interviews running coach Nathan Fenton. Nathan uses running power as his primary metric for running program design and assessment. 
We explore how to measure 'running power' data and what devices you need. Nathan explains the difference between running power compared to heart rate and pace, along with ways do perform 'threshold testing' to determine your own power zones. 
We also answer your patron questions including: 
<ul> 
 <li>What other metrics can we use (leg stiffness, step length, flight time, contact time)?</li> 
 <li>What power devices are available & what is the most accurate?</li> 
 <li>How can we transition from heart rate training to power training?</li> 
</ul> 
Lastly, Nathan explains the common mistakes runners make when trying to use power training without the proper guidance and where to find the balance between following the data and listening to the body.&nbsp;

Running Physical Therapist and Running Coach Dr. Duane Scotti joins Brodie on this episode to discuss the 3 types of running that we should all implement into our weekly routine. 
We dissect 1. Conversational-pace running 2. Tempo runs 3. Intervals to uncover: 
<ul> 
 <li>What is the definition of each type of run?</li> 
 <li>What are the physiological benefits?</li> 
 <li>How do we know we are hitting the right intensity?</li> 
 <li>What percentage of my runs should be within this specific type?</li> 
</ul> 
We unpack all of this info to help you transform into a better, healthier, stronger, smarter runner, to bring variety into your running routine and to avoid the common 'grey zone' a lot of runner fall into.&nbsp;

Brodie continues to review the book titled 'The science and practice of middle and long distance running' with chapter eight called training volume and intensity distribution for elite middle and long distance runners (Chapter contributors: Arturo Casado and Leif Inge Tjelta). 
We talk about the different training variables including training frequency, duration, distance and intensity and their importance in formulating a training program. Next, we dive into different physiological measurements such as Vo2 Max percentage, heart rate and RPE to calculate specific training zones. 
Lastly, Brodie touches on different intensity distribution models that the research suggests and also what the elites are doing. This include the pyramid 80/20 model, the polarised model and several others. 
Brodie then shares sections of the chapter highlighting real-world examples from top performing athletes who are documenting their training intensity distributions.

Denny Krahe is a Running coach & the host of Diz Runs Radio. Today, we dive into HR and effort-based training. I and the podcast patrons ask the following questions: 
What are heart rate and effort-based training? And what are the benefits/limitations? 
How do you see runners misusing this form of training and what are some common misconceptions? 
Should HR zones change over time as you improve? 
Is low HR training beneficial for new, unfit runners or runners with higher than average heart rates?&nbsp; 
Does an elevated heart rate or HRV indicate a lack of recovery?

Today we have coach Campbell Maffett on to answer a few Q&A's from previous episodes. Campbell has been coaching for over fifteen years which includes a level 2 advanced recreational running, world Athletics Level 3 Middle & Long Distance and a Triathlon Australian Level 2 performance coaching qualification. 
Campbell coaches the 'Love the Run' group (<a href="http://www.lovetherun.com.au/" rel="nofollow">www.lovetherun.com.au</a>) and a free kids run group called Kids Run Club (<a href="http://www.kidsrunclub.net/" rel="nofollow">www.kidsrunclub.net</a>). 
I throw four questions to Campbell from past Q&A episodes to gain his insight. Here are the questions way cover on today's episode: 
1.) How do you plan a speed goal and a marathon goal at the same time? 
2.) Can low-intensity cross-training be considered in the 80/20 intensity distribution rule? 
3.) What exercises can help increase uphill running? 
4.) What are the advantages and disadvantages of running shorter distances more often versus longer distances less often for injury prevention and marathon preparation?

High-intensity strength workouts for runners

Chad Miller was battling niggles and struggling to see performance gains with his running schedule. After jumping on a free injury chat with me, he learnt the principles of a well-balanced training plan. 
Six weeks later I received this message: 
“Hi brodie. I wanted to send a huge thank you for our webchat a month or so ago. I've been using the excel log chart and my running has massively improved. I am injury and niggle free and for the first time since I started running in 2018. I raced ten kilometres last week and came within eight seconds of a PR without planning it and having more in the tank. I'm only halfway through my training block with this approach but it's really been a game-changer. At forty-two years old I am achieving a lot more than I did in my peak years”. 
I got Chad on to talk about his process including his past training philosophy, his current process and the keys to his success.
