I love that they have to write what he is saying at the bottom lol, kinda funny to me. I guess it is kinda hard for people who aren't from Africa to understand us. Paul is a great inspiration to all of us here at home!!
that's right, I used to be in very good shape and had no problem running with a friend who only could manage 10 min miles, I just hung out and made it my easy day. But I knew others who wouldn't give him the time of day. Not very respectful. One can always train hard any time they want, friendships mean more than a silly run.
I just love watching these guys, they're super class athletes. I will never buy into the crap these Corporation bribe them to advertise. It has been scientifically that people run best on barefoot! These guys are humble runners, they became World Class through effort, not through iphones or the latest running shoes. Please look up Born to Run by Christopher McDougall on TEDtalks etc.
that´s what fartlek was meant for... search for fartlek training methods, it gives you speed, and muscle volume... its good to combine fartlek training (repetitions) with long trainings
Fartlek is Swedish, but it is serious running none the less. ;-) It's a from of spontaneous interval training developed for the Swedish track team in 1937, after repeatedly losing to Finland in the 20's, according to Wikipedia. Literally: Fart-lek = speed-play/game. Swed. "Fart" has nothing to do with the English word "fart", but is related to "fare" as in "farewell". For the nerd herd. And this guy is cool.
I rate Paul with Geb and Kenenisa as amongst the greatest distance runners of all time. I thought he would win marathon gold in Athens. The heat got him and Baldini was too good.
He's just so obviously such a nice guy as well as a beast - what a legend.
Nike+ has changed my life! Went to never running to my first 10K in under a month! Hopefully running my first half this fall and full in spring :)
We shared a rheumatoid specialist doc and he was a very friendly man. No doubt about that! Nice chap
Tergat will always be a hero to many in Kenya. we love him

It would be an honor to meet this man one day!

the best kenyan runner of all time
yeah, he's using 3'20 as "not so fast, steady pace" in another ad, but here I think he cares more about us poor people ;-P

i read a bit and it looks good...thanx
@josielpontocom swedish it means "speed play"
He doesn't use that shit. Mad respect for the man as a runner though
I need this guy for a trainer.
Great!!! W TERGAT!!!
cool guy
thats good advice....but sometimes i feel like starting stron and later rest......is that bad?
Fartlek is norwegian and means speedplay.
Go back to 1984 Olympic Steeple Chase to the present Olympics and see what the Olympic Kenyan runners have done so far.
Tergat is so cute here
@Vanky20000 thanks lad
I rate Paul with Geb and Kenenisa as amongst the greatest distance runners of all time. I thought he would win marathon gold in Athens. The heat got him and Baldini was too good.
@Vanky20000 hehe what are you trying to say? btw i see my post was 5 months ago..my avg pace lays around 4:20 now.
of course he was making a reference to heroin at the end
@josielpontocom Yeah it's Swedish :P
steve prefontaine. best runner ever.
where are all the rockstar runners?
its strange, a lot of olynpic kenyan runners are very good but very few (from what ive seen) win even a bronze medal let alone gold/silver...
5:30 is just above my avg pace
but 3:20... is rreally something...
what's the name of the song at the end?
death metal i would assume
How is it that people run best on barefoot? If runners did that on cement or grass their feet woild get destroyed in no time...
yep:speed play
What? I have been the first to view this? Whoa.
"Fartlek": Finish word? Is it no Swedish??
Heel
not exactly the best physiology lesson but guess what tergat is can run 6.2 miles at 4:16 mile pace so I'll excuse him
hahahahaha nice reply mand hahahaha
@ThatOneGuy1027 There's a reason fatso's don't win marathons
Are Kenyans perfect? Nope we are just better than you! Lol
Fartleks will make anyone faster.
