Great interview!! Loved the keep it simple advice. I have fallen into the overcomplicating things trap instead of just running. Thank you Ethan, Kim, and Karl for this episode.
His theory on backing it off early if you feel that lactic acid start to burn is pure gold. I pushed through a small hill within 2km today thinking I can’t slow to a walk I just started and the burn was real now I think of it that really hurt me later in the run for sure. slow early is fast later hey.
George Richard well, for me things like not being tied to a pace or heart rate and just enjoying a run for what it is. Being confident in how it feels instead of what the numbers say. Stuff like that. I think I get too caught up in my pace and stuff sometimes. So, because of this video and his example, I’m thinking about running without my Suunto a few times a week. Just what I gleaned from it. Did you maybe get something else? I’d love to hear your take!
Thanks for sharing. I can definitely see how not looking at your pace can be an advantage on technical trail runs where they are not always indicative of your effort or fitness.
Go for it! In training 'numbers' were starting to depress me (partly because I was OVER training), leaving my garmin home, helped bring back my love and joy again of just moving well in the hills at pace ;-)
I wish Meltzer's internet connection were as cocky as he is. Regardless, Meltzer has great insight for which I'm greatful for him to impart. Thank you all!

One of the best GRL episodes. Thanks for great advice as I train for my first 100.
Thanks for the interview. Karl is a really nice guy and a good runner as well.

One of my favorite things is that he still uses an old-school Casio watch. No GPS... LOTS of lessons there haha. This was a great interview!
What's the lesson?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that 100 miles is quite far to run
