    Floris touched on this but I want to emphasize that a sign of underfueling is poor sleep quality-if you wake up in the middle of the night a lot, underfueling could be why! I think the science says that your body is hungry so it wakes us up ready to feed (hence that extra stress that usually comes with middle-of-the-night wake ups).

In the same mindset, going out with my kiddo is a must. But I would also be super grumpy without the runs haha

    Your attitude and the way you run with such a smile is so infectious. I love how you involve your daughter in some of your training too. I can't wait until my kids are old enough to come out on one of my runs.
    Main takeaway. Your idea of "not too hot" and mine are very different!

    • @FlorisGierman
      @FlorisGierman  11 місяців тому +1

      Appreciate you David. I started taking my kids on the trails the moment they could walk. We'd just call it a trail adventure with dad, bring some snacks and walk. Look for pretty rocks, etc. As they got older, we'd go a bit further, sometimes run a little. Exposing to this early has helped them develop the joy for the outdoors. Enjoy the time outdoors with your kids. Cheers

    @briansleepylee 11 місяців тому

    Great video! The drone footage is fantastic. My take away is having a better understanding of "slow" pace or low intensity. To see you running at above 10min/mile on some of your runs is not something I would expect to see. Mentally this is liberating to not be so focused on pace all the time.

    • @FlorisGierman
      @FlorisGierman  11 місяців тому

      Hi Brian, totally! That not caring about pace so much and going by effort took me a while too. I think many runners struggle with this mentally, especially in the early stages of low HR training. Glad you enjoyed the drone footage.

      @@captaincommodore8901 I've done a lot of trail running over the years. I love the trails but between hornet stings, a broken nose, and several twisted ankles I do a lot more road running lately. You're right though; it does build foot and ankle strength, as long as the trail is not too technical.

      Totally get it, fine line. Once I fear something I often move tight and fall or get injured. When the fear is replaced by a feeling of freedom and pure enjoyment, cross training / strength training outdoors vs in the gym, the positives outweigh the negatives for me.
      Still holding back and not bombing technical trails or trying skateboard tricks beyond my capabilities at the moment. Fine line and everyone has different comfort levels there too.
      Hope your runs are going well Arleen.

I know you mentioned you like to take the holistic approach when available .I recently made the switch to minimalist shoes because i just couldn’t run 3 miles without feeling pain throughout my knees and ankles. So far so good I been enjoying my runs more and also building my zone 2 time . Let me know your thoughts on barefoot running . Thank you and keep bringing the fire content 🔥

    Hi Floris, thanks for this insight, I find it really helpful to understand how you approach a training week. I notice you didn’t have any strength and conditioning sessions included - is that because you don’t do them or because you didn’t think they were worthy of including in the video? As a new runner, the S&C sessions are what I struggle with the most, so any tips or inspiration would be gratefully received! Would love to see a similar video around how you structure your whole training approach, so how many blocks you break it up into, how many base building blocks, speed blocks etc. thanks again!

    Thanks for this great insight into your training week. I have a question about MAF training and nutrition: if I am running a long run of about 90-120minutes, but keeping intensity low, do I need to fuel, or should I experiment with just electrolytes? You've had a couple of guests mention they don't always fuel long slower runs, but would love your take on the science behind this. Keep up the great work! From NSW, Australia

    • @FlorisGierman
      @FlorisGierman  11 місяців тому +1

      Greetings right back at you from California . 90-120 minutes at low enough intensity typically doesn't require calories, when you're fat adapted. For some athletes this takes some getting used to, as many people rely heavily on taking in calories. Don't feel the need to do all runs fasted or without calories either. Some endurance athletes don't take in enough calories in their day, good to keep an eye on this before and after your run too. Cheers

    I like these videos! Really inspiring to see that you can go that fast like 3.54min/k at the end of your longrun with such a low HR. I'm training on that pace for a sub20 5K and I'm in zone 4 and 5 all the time😂. Clearly consistency in your running is key to that! Is that 3.54min/k pace also more or less the Berlin marathon pace you are aiming for? And have you done or planned some 5k / 10k / HM in your preparation for Berlin, to build some confidence regarding your MP or do you rely on your trainings for that?

    • @FlorisGierman

      Pace is just a number and improvement in running takes time. Exciting goal to aim for sub 20 5K. Keep showing up and enjoy your training journey.
      That pace was faster than my goal marathon effort, so that I become familiar with that pace. It's not something I think I can hold for 26.2 miles at this moment. Main goal will be to finish healthy and strong out there. Have fun out there on your runs!

      Most mornings I do mobility. 2 or 3 x a week I do some type of strength training. This video was getting long and during this week of filming and several days traveling, my focus was less on strength training. Indeed life happening :) I don't do much of a dynamic warm up and cool down, I gradually let HR increase and decrease, and easy into my higher intensity workouts with some strides. Sometimes some backwards walking / jogging, but like to keep it relative simple.
      Glad to hear you enjoyed the video.
