Another solo episode, and this time Kristian looks back at 234 episodes and shares the lessons from past guests that he thinks about almost every day on his runs.
He is now up to 150K a week, almost 100 miles, just a year after celebrating his first 100K week. He explains how guests helped him get there, why mileage makes you faster, and how to tell when it is making you slower. Along the way he covers easy runs, running form, double days, cross training, strength work, fueling, women's health and why you should be careful about copying anyone else's training.
In this episode:
- Training for a sub 2:30 in Valencia: 150K weeks, fatigue and race day pace
- Alana Levy: why running is not optional
- Thomas Nobbs: running easy runs truly easy
- Miles (Find Your Stride Coach) on running technique
- Charlie Sweeney and Sofie Haugen: splitting the load into two runs a day
- Felicia Pasadyn and the power of cross training
- Strength training, and why most of us know we should do it
- Jake (Run to Japan) on breaking a scary pace into seconds
- Archie on low intensity training
- Alfie Manthorpe and fueling before, during and after runs
- Jimmy Whelan on altitude camps, McKenna Myler on the female body and Ingrid Kristiansen on Strava
- Why you should take lessons from guests, not copy their training plans
Content note: Kristian shares an update on a former guest who was seriously injured after being hit by a truck while crossing the road.
