Thanks for this one! An excellent point (amongst the many others) on self-punishment. Putting it another way: it's totally OK to change points of interest and not hold on to some arbitrary/superficial label on oneself. Explore and be curious, as said! Also: rarely does Warhammer get mentioned in this type of content, it was a pleasant moment. Looking forward to the big video! 🎉
You’re spot on with every point here! Felt until the post-event hole deep last year and took me a good 2-3 months to get excited about triathlon again. Picked a very exciting triathlon this year to get me going again, so it’s all good again now! But will plan my post-event plans a bit better this time. Looking forward to the 250km video!!
fergus, you show incredible insight not just for hybrid athlete but for an athlete full stop, its obviuosly taken experience and a great deal of self awareness to be where you are now and its a privelege to be able to share that with you. Thank you.
I read somewhere that 1 day of recovery for every 10 miles raced. Also avoid alcohol and other drugs all together. Keep moving. Walks, light exercise, stretching, cold plunge, sauna, whatever you enjoy. Just keep it light.
Such good observations! Systemic impact of the effort, and lack of sleep, is so much bigger than we ever realise. In 2015 - I did the Hardmoors 110 (miles) as part of the Grandslam. Great event. 4d later ran fastest 5m for years. So niaive....felt great for a week then went downhill for the next few months. Kicked off a downward spiral that overlapped with workstress etc and took years before I could attempt another event.Take the time, recover, return.
I just completed my first marathon on April 7th, the Paris marathon, and this video was released at a perfect time. I’ve been journaling about my mental state regarding the post-event blues. Looking forward to applying some of these insights, thank you Fergus!!
Recovery after a tough event is challenging, and I find now in my sixties it takes a bit longer to recupe. Especially my heart needs more time to rest IMO. Congrats on your amazing run!
love this, so true, currently going through it a bit myself, however I got a DNF so part of me feels I should be ready to go again, its taken a lot out on my mental, thanks as always for your core truths.
Did a SUP,BIKE,RUN triathlon last summer and worst mistake I made was not signing up to the next challenge to continue training. Stopped everything and really struggling to get back into it now
Would love to see all your Whoop data from during the event through the week after. I think it'd be fascinating to look at. The sleep and recovery data I think would be very interesting to look at. I know it's to be taken with a grain of salt, but would still be very interesting
I'm 60 year's old lady. And is Obest I won't run outside I don't have the confidence because I'm big. So I wake up at 4,30 am and Start jogging watching a viral video of running I have playing in the background 5k I did the 9 weeks and now on the 40 minutes run which I have do twice I really Enjoy it. But my son said it doesn't matter about jogging because I won't lose weight because I run in the house and not outside. I've heard this before but I didn't take any notice. I'm asking do you think I will lose my weight from jogging at home. Or should I look into something else 🤔 I'm desperate to lose my weight.
Diet is way more important than exercise when it comes to losing weight. It is better to run in the fresh air but for losing weight it is all about diet.
Well done! And welcome to running! 😊 It doesn't matter if you run inside or outside, as long as you feel safe and you're enjoying your runs. The more joy you find in movement, the more you will move. You might find that one day you're ready to run outside. Congratulations, I hope you feel good, drop weight and gain a fitter body.
@kathrynhilder9609 Thank you so much Kathy. I'm not going to stop Ever. I do feel great later on in the day after I ran. I really didn't think I would Enjoy running And it took me a while to do it because of my son. But now I'm not going to stop. Hopefully one day I will run outside 👍 thank you Kathryn for your lovely word's 👍
There is some really great advice there. Would the same things apply when I've got a quick turnaround between 2 Ultras? 🤦♂️ 3 weeks apart, to be exact. It's a very unique opportunity and that I couldn't say no to, 3 weeks after the one that's already locked in.
I actually cleared my schedule for the vid 😂. Either way was genuinely a useful vid given I signed up for my first ultra this year having never run a race
I'm interested in a training plan and currently workout 5-6 days/ week running/ hiking/ lifting/ HIIT. I can't run in zone 2. It just means walking! Can you post a video on how to build up to zone 2 running? Maybe you already have this and I missed it.
If walking puts you in zone 2 then just walk. It's great because it's relaxing and low impact and you can wear normal clothes so you can do loads of it! Things that help keep your HR down when running: run fasted first thing in the morning and before caffeine, avoid hills, make sure you're hydrated, keep your stide short and cadence high.
250km Q+A going live on Monday 🎙
next monday that is, eh? was hyped for it today, but i can wait

Thanks for the insights, just completed my first 40k trek on Saturday so will definitely be applying some of this.

@@rl7012 thank you for replying I am on a diet. But not losing weight as fast as I would like.

fuck wat anyone thinks. also try intermittent fasting or straight up fasting to help lose weight
There is some really great advice there.

It's a very unique opportunity and that I couldn't say no to, 3 weeks after the one that's already locked in.
I reckon ur goin for a power-lift meet next.
September 🤔….triple brutal? 😱
The final year of Brutal Events sadly! 🥲

Awesome! All the best with your prep!
What was your whoop data like during and after this epic mad man challenge.
