2025 Shoe Sneak Preview, Old School Training Logs And Race Wins | Mr. Rubio Used To Run Ep. 24 - Running Warehouse

Intro

This is a quick summary of 2025 Shoe Sneak Preview, Old School Training Logs And Race Wins | Mr. Rubio Used To Run Ep. 24 from Running Warehouse. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the workout today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.

Key Points

• Race‑specific pacing: After winning the 4‑mile Tram Road Challenge (just under 4 mi with 3 000 ft climb) the host ran a 5:20 min/mile tempo and logged a 145 bpm heart rate, showing solid fitness.
• High‑intensity low‑volume training: The team favors short‑rest, high‑intensity days (400‑800‑1000‑m repeats, ladder sets, and “double‑threshold” days) with modest weekly mileage.
• Practical shoe advice: Don’t flex carbon‑plated shoes— they’re not designed to bend. Use the shoe that matches the race (e.g., Endorphin Elite 2 for hilly races, EVO One for a half‑marathon).
• Hill‑training tip: Just run hills; extra strength work isn’t necessary for most runners.

Workout Example

“10‑x‑1 K + Tempo” (all paces in minutes per mile, distances in miles):

Day 1 – 10 × 1‑km repeats at ~5:20 /mi (≈3:15 min/km) with 90‑second jog recovery.
Day 2 – Tempo run 5 mi at 5:20 /mi (≈2:58 min/km).  
Optional: 16‑mile easy run the day after a race, keeping HR below 150 bpm.

Feel free to adjust the number of repeats or distance to match your own paces using the Pacing app.

Closing Note

Give these high‑intensity intervals a try, pick the shoe that fits your race goal, and remember to keep it simple— run, stay consistent, and tweak the paces in the Pacing app to make it yours. Go out and crush it!
