re: How to break through a running plateau

Time on feet. If your legs are crapping out by 3 miles you’re simply over running your current condition. As far as weight goes think about sticking to 180 or lower. You mentioned being 41, I’m 46 and it’s exponentially harder to get the weight off now than it was 5 years ago. Think in long run do you want to fight weight creep if already starting at high end of “healthy “ weight range. Old wise advice every pound lost can equal 1-2 secs per mile. Hit up Walter white. He’s your size and is blazing runs but he didn’t do it over night. Consistency!

A 5k is a specific distance
Running is specific
1-2 min hard isn’t specific or threshold or even vo2 max.
You need to target workouts that build threshold (5k)
1-2 mi WU
2x2-3km threshold float 1km easy between
1-2 mi CD
Consistent training over a long time is how you run well
If your target race or distance is something else then you target the demands of that particular event !
You can’t be the best miler and marathoner in the same block, the goals are too different
There’s no magic, just hard work over and over
Consistently good, over occasionally great
