This video sums up the life of someone who is truly dedicated with his sport life. I actually didn't mind the repetition of the phrase, it is a good way of demonstrating how it is to be one of the best at what you dou: repetition, dedication, morning after morning. Great video, really inspiring.
I find this video very motivating, the way in which he recounts his experience shows us that we are all capable of getting up and achieving what we set out to do.
I've just researched it a bit: www.topendsports.com/testing/records/vo2max.htm . Yes it is possible and yes Kilian has one of the best V02 max in the world.
Gustav Thuesen you do know durianrider's vo2max is over 100? Jeez, vegan baby. He could beat kilian with probably a couple months focus. #Carbthefuckup
Ye this video was a bit disappointing. I think the constant repetition just seemed to indicate a lack of actual footage to include. The video should have been a few minutes shorter, or included more specific information about his training without the pointless repetition.
Holy shit I just can't believe how many stupid people are there which didn't get the point of this video. He trains for 30 years out of 30 years he's on this planet. What do you think he was doing for the past 30+ years? Training
Phenomenal athlete. Most people don't really understand exercise physiology, but a V02 max of 92 is beyond amazing. Its almost record breaking. Kilian can consume so much oxygen, even at very high output levels... Its incredible. Training has approximately a 20% influence on overall aerobic fitness, and genetics plays upwards of 80%+. So really, he's a genetic anomaly. Important to note here: He basically says that he trains this hard, 7 days a week, 51 weeks a year, and the week he tries to take off doesn't work. For most humans, this is called exercise addiction, and usually leads to the clinical overtraining syndrome (which is a serious metabolic injury). Again, to sustain this level of activity, he must be genetically programmed for this. The editing of this video was terrible though!!
This is demonstrated by a large percentage of the top level ultrarunners over the past decade all burning out trying to replicate this style of training while Kilian just keeps going and never showing any hint of chronic fatigue or illness. Its incredible and not replicable by most people
Absolutely true. For me personally I only have about 5 really big days in a row before my system forces me to rest and recover. There's growing evidence that superior carbohydrate metabolism is really the key in maintaining endocrine response to stress. Generally, as an athlete tears the body down with hard, consecutive training sessions you see a gradual increase in serum cortisol levels, with a clinically significant drop in testosterone expression. This leads to even more catabolic metabolism, and you generally start to see drops in blood glucose levels at this point as well, EVEN with adequate carbohydrate consumption. As glucose levels drop, endocrine starvation signally commences, and you see a progressive slowdown of overall metabolic rate. Several things to consider: Even if an athlete doesn't display any real chronic fatigue symptoms, this doesn't mean that they are not paying a metabolic consequence. Keep in mind that almost ALL Tour de France athletes live shorter lifespans than their counterparts who exercise at much lower levels. There's left ventricle hypertrophy that is a key adaptation to chronic cardiovascular loads, however, this can also lead to maladaptive cardiac mechanics later in life. Further, I would be willing to bet that Killian displays lower testosterone levels as a result of chronic training, and this leads to lower long-term bone density, as well as a higher risk for insulin resistance later in life. Many athletes who have long hard careers end up seeing very serious metabolic shifts once their careers end, and they see higher rates of all-cause cardiovascular disease rates. All that being said, he's an incredible machine, and its SOOOO rare to see VO2 max levels as high as his. I do wonder what percentage of his VO2 his anaerobic threshold is....Because if his lactate threshold is low, this indicates metabolic stress; But if its high, this indicates that his system is in fact adapting well and still utilizing carbohydrates properly.
This comment is so stupid. You literally don't know anything about the impacts of endurance training on human physiology. And you seem to have missed the entire point in this video. To further illustrate my point: Kilian has stated many times over his career that his VO2max grew over time from training all day every day uphill at high altitudes. He's even shared his VO2max stress test results from when he was younger and they are quite far lower than his best results in recent years. Why is this so hard for you to understand? It's called progression. It is also the same story for many other elite athletes too, people who are so dedicated to training from youth for many years, see incredible gains in aerobic capacity....
I'm not sure I follow the point of your comment? "You literally don't know anything about the impacts of endurance training on human physiology" Without trying to sound arrogant here, chances are I know a whole lot more than you do on this specific subject. I've been involved in formal research in this area for over a decade.. Unless you have a PHD in exercise physiology and are actively conducting the most cutting edge research studies, you DON'T know more than I. Killian gets away with this level of training, and has achieved a VO2 that high, because his genetics allow for it. Genes are the lock, and training is the key that opens them. The physiology of V02max and lactate threshold is extremely well understood. The research very clearly indicates that training only affects about ~20% of an athlete's potential oxygen consumption, and this is from many research studies with very large sample sizes, as well as meta analysis studies on endurance athletes. In addition, V02max is highly variable, and can change significantly throughout the training year depending on training and recovery status. It is true that V02 is built up over years, because it takes that long to pack more and more mitochondria into the muscle cell. In fact, an athlete can continue to accumulate mitochondrial density all the way up until age 40-45, and from there training is more a matter of slowing down the rate of fitness loss with advancing age. Further, the fact that Killian is able to train at such a volume and not suffer an overtraining metabolic injury is further evidence that his genetics are very unique. Every athlete has a breaking point at how much training volume they can adapt to. From a population standpoint, most humans are not able to sustain 7 day per week, high volume endurance training, every week of the year. Most of these guys have clinically, VERY low testosterone values. No matter how much nutrition you're able to get, chances are extremely high that the catabolic hormones will eventually out compete the anabolic systems, and you see what they call a metabolic crash where the athlete is no longer able to adapt to training loads. The underlying mechanisms for Killian's ability to stave off clinical overreaching and clinical overtraining are probably due to genetically determined carbohydrate metabolism and cellular repair systems. To go slightly more in-depth, it really all comes down to liver carbohydrate metabolism and enzyme buffer systems.
Congrats for your performance and your career, but as many others I expected some real info about your training, this is only another motivational video (very nice in the other hand)
we understand the point, we're meant to see that it is very repetitive training and he's been doing the same thing with dedication for many years, that doesn't change the fact that the video is edited badly. Inspirational athlete though.
Tom Valentine apologies if ur are working in VP for a major international client and with a global superstar. Link to ur wk so we can all see how it should be done.
ironman tooltime no I am not a VP but I was just commenting (in the comment section) what I thought about the video. I thought it was an interesting video but that the way that many things were repeated multiple times I did not like. if this is good in the VP world then so be it but I still don't have to like it. that's all I am saying
Tom Valentine the clue is in the title, again and again. It's all about repetition. That's how he does it. Again. Again. Am i annoying you? Again. Enforcement by repetition. Again. Again. 😋

Wait, so how old is he and how long has he been training?
Yeah, why didn't they tell us? Would have been really interesting...
1:01
That fkr aint no damm 30 years old. Nigga looks at least 40.
@@joseph7132 so you're saying he's a cuban baseball player
Must've missed that part
"If you will not have pleasure when you train, you will never improve." 🙌🏻

I'm an editor and have been editing for 30 years
Just wondering if anyone knows how old Kilian is and how long he's been training for?
30 years
His whole life? 🤨
92 V02 max... mind blown.
...Right???
How possible????
I've just researched it a bit: www.topendsports.com/testing/records/vo2max.htm . Yes it is possible and yes Kilian has one of the best V02 max in the world.

The editing is like a Black mirror chapter!
You and Emelie are my biggest inspiration :)
4:44 Kilian can fall?!? Mind Blown...
This is my favorite video, i watch it all the time hahaha
This edit is choking
We all know how old is Kilian Jornet thanks
VO2 max of 92?! Crazy
love the editing!
Awesome film Killian and team. 👌🏽👍🏼
😍 Quel Bonheur de revoir cette si jolie vidéo somme toute privée. Merci Kilian. Merci aussi à ta Maman pour ce beau partage personnel. Biz 😘...😉
I'm 23 years old and have been training for 1 year hahahaha.
Hi. Are you still training or 1 year was enough? lmao
felicitaciones por todo lo logrado eres un gran ídolo
I liked the editing. It made complete sense with what you were saying.
Always awesome to see you talking about your training but the editing sucks, idk who did this :(
you mean, "Hi I'm .... and I've been training for 30 years !" ;)
Always nice to watch anyway for motivation! Can't wait to go outside now.
Totally agreed. I love Kilian, but this editing sucks big time!
Muy chulo el vídeo, gracias killian!!
Ven a México, sería bueno verte en una montaña por acá.
Amazing Kilian!

Que salvaje. No se como se atreven a medirse humanos contra este titán. Aunque lo mejor de este tío, es su forma de ser y su personalidad.

Nice video!! What is the name of the first song?
Molt interessant!!! M'agrada
Kilian, quins cabells mes llarcs! :D :D Per molts anys!
Anyone knows the nam of the songs??? :0
can you just tell me how you train please?? I want to start sky running but I am afraid of running in steep mountains
Read training for uphill athletes
"i try to do one week easy in the year"

Thanks for the video. A true example of the law of attraction
WOW!!!👻🙌🏻
Song at 2:20, does anyone know?

Hey Martina, thank you so much!
Welcome 😊 very catchy song
Killian cuando haras video en español
SIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICK
I bet ya he loves training
Ets un orgull per els catalans GRACIES
very nice story - but the video is hard to watch with all the jump cuts. Pay your editing guy more ;)
quin craackkk kilian, beeestia!!!!!!
first song in video?
4:43 Fake. Kilian doesn't fall.
??
Recovery 200 to 75 in one minute, holy fuck. 🤘 Just checking I would do 173-132 in 2 minutes 😢😁
What a loop!arggg my head!

Could have been a great video but the editing was so annoying. It's enough if you tell me something two times...
then you don't understand the point of the movie

lol. you dont really get the point of the edit
so you're 30 years old but how long have you been training?
Love the due, but training since 1 month old seems a little too much...
👌🏻
Just whaou
Uuuummmm, where's the actual "How do I train?" part?
mantep
RAH!
the editing really sucks. the entire video could have been cut to about half the time.
