Running Training Vlog (TRACK SESSION) That Running Guy - That Running Guy

Aug 13, 2025

Intro: This is a quick summary of Running Training Vlog (TRACK SESSION) That Running Guy from That Running Guy. 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:

After a week off, Chris starts with easy miles, letting his legs decide the pace rather than targeting a specific speed.
He planned a 10‑mile run but ended up with a 10‑km (6.2 mi) field run, noting how the second half felt heavier and he cut the session short to avoid over‑reaching.
The main track session is his first in over a year: 15 repeats of 500 m (or 1 km) at a hard effort, aiming for an average heart‑rate zone of 143‑148 bpm.
He stresses listening to the body, taking extra rest when needed, and keeping the week flexible around a medical appointment (Kobe jab).
Practical recovery tips: keep runs gentle after a break, avoid “flat‑out” efforts on the track, and use group support to stay motivated.

Workout Example:

Easy run – 4–5 mi at a comfortable, conversational pace (no set speed).
Track session – 15 × 500 m repeats on the track.
- Run each 500 m at a hard but sustainable effort (roughly 5‑10 seconds per lap faster than your normal 5K pace).
- Keep the average heart‑rate between 143‑148 bpm.
- Take a short jog or walk recovery of ~30‑60 seconds between repeats.
Cool‑down – 1–2 mi easy jog.

Closing Note: Give this mix of easy miles and a focused 500‑m repeat session a try this week, and feel free to adjust the paces to match your current fitness in the Pacing app. Have fun on the track and keep listening to your body—your next run will thank you! 🚀
