20 Mile Long Run in the SC Elite v4 & Training Q&A

The New Balance SC Elite v4 is a top-tier racing shoe designed for comfort and speed over the marathon distance. In this video, I take it for a 20 mile long run and give my thoughts on its performance and who it's best for. This was also my last 20 mile long run of the block and end of my 12 week 100 mile streak as I enter the sharpening race phase. To mark this, I answer your training questions and break down my philosophy behind high-mileage training. 0:00 - Intro 2:31 - Long Run Preparation 5:02 - Long Run Fueling 7:59 - SC Elite v4 So Far 9:44 - VDOT & Why I Train By Feel 13:28 - Plan for the Run 15:41 - Post-Run Thoughts 19:43 - Goodwill Haul 20:29 - Post-Run Hydration 22:32 - SC Elite v4 Long Run Review 28:26 - Thoughts on Coros Pace 3 34:00 - How I Re-Fuel After a Long Run 46:06 - Alternatives to New Balance SC Elite v4 48:46 - Training Q&A 55:25 - Thoughts on 10% Rule (from Katrina Tucker) 59:49 - Recovery Weeks (from Mike Doyle) 1:03:22 - Strength Work (from Chris Simmonds) 1:06:07 - My Running Journey (from Nick Santos) 1:07:49 - My First 100 Mile Week (from Nick Santos) 1:09:54 - Making Time to Run (from Jeff Smith) 1:12:24 - Intensity While Building Mileage (from Corey Adcock) Find your next running shoe at Supwell.io: 1.
