    Gahhhhh soooo many great takeaways! His energy is contagious and left me excited and inspired. Biggest takeaway was to be willing to pivot in order to stay excited about your goals. Also, the difference between flexibility and mobility and that the more you can load, the more mobile you may become and stronger within that range of motion really clicked with me. Strength training has been such a game changer for me with my training, so to hear these tips was so helpful. Another great interview, Floris, thanks!

    • @FlorisGierman
      @FlorisGierman  2 года назад +2

Your takeaway about being willing to pivot in order to stay excited about training and racing is a topic that came up on tonight’s group run too. Such an important one to be excited and passionate about our training, racing and health journey. 👍👍

    This was the best Ryan Hall interview I've seen. As a strength athlete who deeply dabbled in endurance sports I know EXACTLY what he's talking about when it comes to being exhausted from running and energized from lifting. I've felt the extreme slowdown when running with 50 - 60 pounds of added muscle. When he talks about only 3 pounds adding 3 minutes to his marathon time he's not exaggerating.

    Great interview. Just want to clear things up, mobility is not just flexibility. Mobility is the combination of strength and stability through the full range of motion. You may be able to forcefully stretch a limb through a range of motion, but if there’s no strength and stability then it’s not mobility, just flexibility. Training for strength at the end ranges of motion is way different than stretching at end ranges of motion. They are right, you don’t want to be Gumby as a runner. But you do want the most range of motion WITH strength and stability throughout the full range. Anyway, mobility has been a buzz word lately, and most people think mobility is stretching. Trying to clear the air that they are not the same

    I don't think my attention strayed from this video for not even a split second. This is what not having an ego about accomplishments looks like. On top of that I truly believe he is just as happy passing on his knowledge to see others succeed as he was on a podium. This is a coach you will remember your whole life.

    Fun interview! There are a few myths in here, such as the notion of “ectomorph” vs “endomorph”. There was also a comment about not wanting to be “too flexible” but thats also not a thing unless you have variety of hyper-mobility disease. The ideas about good sleep and nutrition, consistency, planned effort (easy and hard as planned), intuitive adjustments, etc are all absolute gold!

    New subscriber here. I really enjoyed this interview! I’m a 58 year old man who just started training for my first marathon, with an eye on eventually doing an ultra event. Having been actively training for various sports since 1974, and continuing for my various occupations, I consider myself to be in well above average physical condition. That said, I was concerned about if and or how much bodyweight may be a factor. Having weighed 245 pounds in my powerlifting days, I do not consider my current weight of 202 to be “heavy”. However, I noticed that most runners seem to be frail in build. I don’t have a clue as to my body fat percentage, but with visible abs, I am at a minimum. I’ll not ramble on, thanks again for the podcast!

    It’s funny i went other way - used to weight 100 kg, was lifting 250 kg deadlift, squat 182 kg down to the floor. Went down to 70 kg now and running 10 k in 33 min, but still do weight lifting, i just love it, it’s just my thing. I loved it so much back then when i was big but now it’s like a different love, grown love. I know how to squat properly so i don’t damage myself, how to deadlift and not to damage my back.

I'm dusting myself off and revising my plan for my last full in a month at CIM. 🙏

    Having viewed this interview along with a few others pipping the bunch is the one with Dr Mark Cucuzzella from 2019. London Marathon back in the early 80's I wore I think they were called New balance comp 100 and you sent them away to be re-soled after 40miles. Now these were racing flats. Maybe I was lucky but over the next 25 years the injurys I picked up were from trips and fulls ect, and in fairness apart from the odd calf strains through probably 70/80 mile weeks mainly on hard surfaces, to this day with the more cushioned ones, injuries of late have come by dog walkers !!. and the like. Now in my 60's and never been into stretching really and only really do a kind of Maf training ( sorry but what's this 9 min and slower all about and Dr Cucuzzella mentions 11min ) because it seems to be popular on RUclips . Only yesterday a couple of larger chaps went past me in the opposite direction clearly in the early stag of jog walk and I totally admire them and those runners towards the back of a park run. I am lucky in that I can get back to the same weight as I was back in the 80's ie 10st and a few pounds and I like my junk food. In truth I dread the day when exercise becomes a problem. Going back to the Dr Cucuzzelle interview, I will get a copy of Run for your life and watch the interview again as theirs got to be benefits we can all take from it. Ian

I doubled the training weights over that period but it was soul destroying and mind numbingly boring. It helped with running, but 4 months was all I could take. I also hated the gym environment. Career pressures and getting married took over my life so I sadly lost interest in running. Now 35 years later... no need to say what bad shape I'm in

Mad respect nonetheless, not saying he hasn’t put in the work in the gym and kitchen too.

      Hi Sylvain, I think Ryan's point is that cycling is a great way to get additional training load in, without the added wear and tear on your body. Some athletes can get away with consistent high running volume and recover well, while others (injury prone athletes / older athletes, etc) will be able to train more by adding in cross training like cycling.
