Funny to hear the "Run fast regularly" one because some elite runners say if you want to run fast, you must run slow. I've yet to force myself to slow down because I always want to give lots of effort. But I've read only about 20% of our runs should be fast. I'm not sold on this but there are many runners that preach it. Also, as a recreational runner, my number one problem that you didn't mention and I imagine the elites get right, is DIET! I like my junk food.
@@JasonFitzgerald any favorite fuel to pair with LMNT during a long run or marathon? I just did a half and made the mistake of doing Gatorade and Morton’s(sp?) together…. Felt bloated and super full like I wanted to hurl
This was great, thanks!! I know I'll never hold a giant cardboard check, but I want to be the best I can be, with the physical potential and resources at my disposal. I've been thinking of trying to find endurance running psychology talks on TED. Anyone have any favorites?
I’ve been dialing up my efforts lately to get faster and go further. I’m also highly process oriented in general so making that connection to the pros consistency is motivating to hear. Thanks! Also working on 2 and 3, but still struggling to systematize strength training in consistently.
Good stuff. I think these are some great insights, especially as mere mortals we can sometimes feel like the gap between us and the elites is astronomical but in reality natural talent probably doesn’t play as big a role as the dedication and criteria mentioned here. Thanks for sharing.
I would love for that to be true but sadly the evidence says otherwise. If you look at elite level endurance athletes it’s a combination of nature and nurture where “nature” is just getting lucky with your genetic physiology and “nurture” is building skills and leveraging those genetics into adaptations via training from a young age. There is a gulf that is simply unbridgeable for most amateurs.
Really great advice. I'm guilty of neglecting running fast, especially when training for an ultra, but I'm on a time budget at the moment that speed and strength are forming a bigger part of my training. Specific and consistent all the way! Where abouts in Colorado are you?
Love your content! Wanted to ask you.. Would you say it's worth dropping some milage and add more strength training? Been at about 80k the last year (0 strength sessions) now doing 50-60k with 3 strengths sessions adding in some alternative cardio either before or after lifting. Thanks :)
Wow 20-30 miles a week? I'm on the super lower end of like 9-12... To increase mileage... Do you add it to the long run or sprinkle add ons through out the week?
Just be patient. Coming off of a broken foot, it has taken me nearly a year to go from 9-12 miles a week to 25+. My goal is 40 a week in 2-3 more months.
1. Be a consistent runner
2. Run fast regularly
3. Run a lot
4. Prioritize strength training
5. Don’t do it alone

Diggin the specs! On my way to collect some leaves. Will watch it later tonight without the Fall Shineshine calling my name.
I love your Podcast, Jason. I have it on automatic download on my Apple Podcast app, and listen to it while I’m running each week. 🎙
Thank you!
Thanks Jason - need some help as bouncing from injury to injury it seems. I’ll go check ur links out 👍
Great advices which could actually also be applied in business life to some extend. Thanks once again for your great content!
It's eery how many business lessons can be drawn from endurance sports!
Today I added runner-specific yoga to my routine. There's always space left to improve😁
Btw just ordered some LMNT using the StregthRunning promo…. Can’t wait to see if it helps me avoid the inevitable cramping at mile 21 on race day
I'm literally drinking LMNT as I type this. You'll love the watermelon!!

I hate how you mention yourself and everyone else as mere mortals. These elite athletes are human too.

Denver! This video was shot in Wheat Ridge though.
Doesn't this contradict the 80/20 rule, especially when we have day jobs etc?
Consistency indeed!
Great video!
Love your content!
Wanted to ask you..

That could work! Ideally, you'd maintain the mileage and lift weights twice per week 👍
Can your teachings be use for cycling as well?
Thnx sir....what should be mileage for 5k ?
There is no answer to this question. Pro's run 100+ miles per week. High school runners get in 20-30 mpw. MORE is almost always better.
Wow 20-30 miles a week? I'm on the super lower end of like 9-12... To increase mileage... Do you add it to the long run or sprinkle add ons through out the week?
both, but try to add tempos, add it to warm ups, cool downs, dont add it to just the main run then be done
We have a video for that ;)
Just be patient. Coming off of a broken foot, it has taken me nearly a year to go from 9-12 miles a week to 25+. My goal is 40 a week in 2-3 more months.
I run mostly low heart rate runs make it easy to run more miles.. just add abit every week where ever you want
Do you recommend running everyday?
Cause I do 5 times a week and I'm not sure if it's ok to do it everyday
@@jimuelf.gutierrez6381 Yes, that's fine! As long as you can handle it.
Elite Nappers*
You get it
I skipped running and did indoor cycling today. Will society accept me ?!
Yes. Even me.
Why not take off glasses?
Ugh
Did you see the sun? Let's not fixate on what is meaningless. Focus.

Don't know about you, but those glasses are extremely cool and I want one of those. I'd wear it if there's a sun or not.
