Long Run Success: Unboxing Gym Gear for the Older Runner - Seth James DeMoor
Intro: This is a quick summary of Long Run Success: Unboxing Gym Gear for the Older Runner from Seth James DeMoor. 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:
- Progress your long runs each week, moving from ~7:50 mi pace down to the 7:15‑7:20 mi range as you get stronger.
- Adjust target pace when wind is strong (30‑50 mph) to stay on schedule.
- Pair a core‑strength session with your long run to keep legs stable and prevent knee fatigue.
- Simple gear hacks (knee wraps, balance board, sturdy water bottle) can boost confidence and support form.
Workout Example:
- Warm‑up: 10‑15 min of core work (planks, dead‑bugs, glute bridges).
- Long Run: 20 mi (≈32 km) at a target pace of 7:15‑7:20 per mile (≈4:35‑4:40 km). If it’s windy, add 5‑10 seconds per mile.
- Cool‑down: Easy jog for 5 min, then stretch and note any knee tightness; try the new knee wrap if needed.
Closing Note: Give this long‑run + strength combo a go today, and feel free to tweak the paces in your Pacing app to match your current fitness. Have fun, stay strong, and keep moving forward!
