WORKOUT: CJ Albertson's Wild 22-Mile Long Run Before 2022 Boston Marathon (
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 апр 2022
- CJ Albertson doesn't train like other professional marathoners. In the lead-up to the 2022 Boston Marathon, he won the Modesto Marathon in 2:12 (despite being led off-course by the lead bike - so his 26.2 split on his watch was 2:10) and he did this super hilly 22-miler with two weeks to go until the big race. Last year, the Brooks Running-sponsored pro led the men's elite race for 21 miles and built-up a two-minute lead on the field. He ended up finishing 10th overall in 2:11:44.
What does he have in store for this year's race? This workout and his training on Strava clearly prove he's fit. It's one of the deepest elite fields in the 126-year history of the Boston Marathon but it's a race that has provided countless surprises in recent years. Could CJ be one of them?

Imagine trying to break a guy who willingly puts himself in a torture box
Imagine sending a guy who will question every idiosyncrasy, to film a guy who makes himself a science experiment. This is pure gold.
Imagine running in that torture box while nakey 🎉
What the hell did I just watch
This dudes mad. He’ll run a 2:10 marathon on a treadmill as a part of a training block. He’s the peak Strava flexer.
Flexing is Joshua Cheptegei running a 12:35 5k...
@@waterproof4403 so the only flex allowed is literal world records? Ok. Every 2:03 marathoner is actually a BUM and should never be confident because they can’t touch 2:01.
@@tboss8157 Idk why I said Cheptegei lol. I don't think his WR should even be official anways. But what I meant was this 2:10 marathon for CJ wasn't a good training plan especially just 3 weeks before the actual Boston Marathon
@@waterproof4403 He said STRAVA flexer. Cheptegei rarely ever post to strava
@@banksj54 I see
Dude is literally a local legend!
CJ threw down a super gutsy run last year, wishing him all the best heading into Boston.
the carpet in his heat box must be disgusting
I was thinking that haha
Hopefully he puts a towel down or something when he uses it
I bet many of the pros would struggle with this, he does this solo… he’s on a different level. Imagine the 30 miles he does at 5:30 pace in a 2 mile loop. Mentally and physically fit wow.
I love that he seems so connected to his community
CJ's electricity bill must be so high 😂😂
CJ is an animal! He’s gonna kill it on Monday! So pumped for him 💪🏼🦄 Thanks for including me in the video. I wasn’t sure if I was interrupting but I had to say hi when I saw him (I was the guy who showed up randomly on the mountain bike…I happened to be pacing a group of runners that day in the park who are also going to Boston).
Good luck CJ!! 🥳
Arguably the best part of the video! He’s going to kill it no doubt 😤
@@loganafraser ?
Sadly he didn’t 😞

CJ is basically the budget version of Galen Rupp. Galen has the Nike money machine to give him access to cutting edge recovery aid techniques. CJ reads that science and finds a way to implement it without all that funding
I wouldn't go that far b/c Galen has the same elevation machine is his house. I wouldn't compare him to Galen budget or not because Galen is way more accomplished. But I DO think CJ with the right coach and entering more races could be that achieved, he is truly a beast
@@banksj54 you clearly don’t understand my comment. Galen is always doing something that’s on the cutting edge of research and study. Altitude masks before they were popular, underwater treadmill before Alter-G’s were a thing, blood flow restriction, sauna’s. Galen was always one of the first guys to implement things. He also has the giant bank of Nike behind him. I’m making the comparison to CJ because CJ uses things that are known to work, doesn’t have the giant money pit behind him, and finds his own way to make it work. Hence, the “budget” Galen Rupp. Ye, Galen also uses altitude machines, but he has the bubble that he puts around his bed so that he sleeps in the simulated high altitude. He rarely ever trains on the treadmill using that. Galen has the resources to go train at a high altitude camp for as long as he wants. CJ doesn’t always have that luxury, so he trains on a treadmill using that high altitude simulator. I’m not comparing their accomplishments. I don’t even know where you got that from.
@@jazzyjay4595 okay keyboard warrior, thanks
@@jazzyjay4595 so...they're completely different then...lol
@@banksj54 keyboard warrior? You realize you’re typing on a keyboard too, right? I would say all the same things to you in person 😂 but guess what! We’re never going to meet so it doesn’t matter. Good luck calling everyone a keyboard warrior while also hiding behind a keyboard 🤡
CJ is a beast. Was fun and nostalgic to watch this video. I ran for years in Woodward park as part of the Sierra Express Run Club. There is a great running community there as you can see from how well CJ is known by those running through the park. Good Luck CJ!!
Boss! Can't wait to see what he does at Boston.
I can not believe the workouts this guy’s doing! Boston will be very interesting and I wish CJ the best- admire his determination- mind bending focus- impressive👍
Oh to be running in Fresno, CA. Thank you for this great insight.
Thanks for this video. How can you not root for this guy.
CJ is what we in Ireland define as a 'mad lad'.
insane. good luck cj
fire run montage edit omg
Great moves bro! 🔥
I remember watching CJ albertson dominating the races back in the high school years (early 2010's). I won't forget the electrifying Woodbridge invitational and him pursuing a championship title in the CIF state meet. NOW, he's competing at the highest level of competition and is racing against the world.
Boston ain’t ready for CJ
Facts
@@Notnotcam what?
Huh
Unreal. Hope Boston goes well
CJ is vibing real high leading into the event, it portends well for him.
After so many years of hearing about CJ being #1 in some of the races I've been in, I finally looked him up on RUclips. So cool to see a local legend training on the same ground as me, except he's so fast, I've never run into him once whenever I train there.
this is stupendous
After knowing he won the CIM 2023, the Google AI algorithm brings me here. Nice video 👍👍👍
oh good I thought I was the only one with a DIY bedroom sauna box
Lmao 🤣
Runners are crazy man
these guys never look like they're going that fast, but if you try to do even a lap or two at that speed it feels like you're sprinting
To be honest, even if I sprinted, I don’t think I would be able to run as fast as Eliud did in his sub 2 marathon. And I’m a 2:58 marathoner.
It's great run
Proud to say that I have the same choice of nutrition, SIS is the epitome of gut bff 😁
Safe to say he embodies the "go hard or go home" mantra lol
"5:02 last mile....no i'm kidding, it was 4:32" This guy has a unique, outstanding sense of humor.
What are the arm sleeves? 🙌🏽
Woodward is such a good xc course
He holds an indoor track marathon record. He's great!
Can you post the sauna supply list?
more like "5:02 last mile, no im kidding it was faster than your pr"
I’ll see you at Heartbreak today!
running is metal
Heyyy!!! CJ!!!
Dude goes out damn near 4:40 and his HR is 138. Insane.
You can tell by the lights 😂
🤯
I think it would make more sense to stay with the pack this time.
will CJ be running any "Fall" marathon 2022?
I’m thinking about getting an infrared sauna. Does it actually help/work?
Thanks
This guys gives me all the "Brian Sells" vibes. Really hard worker!
What is the name of the treadmill?
Thats a Peloton tread.
The marathon is gonna be a walk in the park almost. Good luck!
What
Who shot/produced this? Merbs?
Meb
Mac Fleet
What the actual fuck :o
100th!
CJ Albertson should try out Ironman Triathlon.
He has the PERFECT BUILT, mindset, and dicipline to be successful in that sport.
Hope he give it a chance. He's built for that.
I hope someone relay this to him ...
Tem que treinar em altitude igual os Áfricanos. só assim vcs terão chance de vence-los igual o Brasileiro Daniel.
So much for a taper
For running nerds like me this is can't-look-away porn.
Watch Kenenisa Bekele 12:37 5k and 26:17 10k. Also the last 5k of the Berlin Marathon 2019. That is what I call Elite of Elite
Woodward park.. He’s pretending it’s CIF finals
Bro gotta chill
Just use the sauna at a gym rather than that infrared stuff.
What an absolute mad man. I love it
