I don't have a medal rack, but I do have all of my race numbers on the wall where they can be seen on video calls - it has actually been a decent conversation starter on a few occasions!
Also, the thing about Hyrox. If that's the thing you do and it makes you happy. Go for it. I run not because I'm great at it or even good at it. It is the thing that keeps me moving, improves my mental and physical health, and brings me joy. I just got a PR in the 5K yesterday - 24:08 - I'm the embodiment of mediocrity, but better than I'd ever done before. I bet most of the viewers are too. If someone's thing is Hyrox (or whatever), cheers. Go for it.
24:08 really isn't mediocre! I think too many people compare themselves to the UA-camrs that in reality are in the top 1% of runners if not top 0.5%... The average 5k time for men was something like 28mins so you're well above average!!
@@Ze-Germanzuk I didn't say it was a bad time and I'm proud of it, but it is far from elite, but the point isn't about my time in the 5K. The point is most people fall into the "average" category range by the very definition of the term "average." Is that a reason to not race, not compete? No. Of course not. And if Hyrox is your thing, why should you let anyone "yuck your yum"?
10:15 my grandma once left her strava running for literally days and accidentally took many many segments by car 😂😂 She only found out after being contacted by some pro runners and cyclists
I had my gps glitch out on mine once and it rubber banded me down the road and back so my average time came out to a 4:15 mile time and people around me were going crazy thinking i was a freak athlete lol
What an absolute delight of a video. It's got everything - humour, jeopardy, savage decimation of Hyrox athletes, superb editing, and the candid and unabashed personal opinions of one of this country's one-to-watch Marathoners. I'll even let it slide that you ripped into me and my medal rack! 😂 Well done, Phily and Daniel.
trail is great...and the Vest is absolutely mandatory, snacks, drinks, shells, and everything else. In most races you have "required equipment" you must bring with you in order to even start the race, or you will be considered "unfit"
Don't forget that most people are average on only running or only lifting weights. Being average on two things is better than being average on only one. PS. I am average on only running 🤣
I don't understand peoples annoyance with the hydration vests for short runs😂I mean I get that its massive overkill but I guess I just can't wrap my head around me being annoyed over what someone else is wearing on their run lol you do you
The reason...😂...Just that look dressed and equipped for a trek across Greenland when they actually do a 5/10K, where even drinking stations are in abundance😅
Hybrid athlete here! 🤣🤣you are pretty much bang on 😅however, I enjoy knowing that if someone were to ask me how physically fit i was, I'd be confident in saying im up there lol. The fact I'm able to lift some decent weight and run pretty fast is satisfying to me. I would hate to be really skinny and super fast, or obese strong and slow 🤣hybrid training is all about loving the grind 💪
Not the five finger socks and the calf sleeves hahaha, I’m genuinely embarrassed and mortified, but that combo prevents so many blisters for me. The calf sleeves allow more flexibility in the choice of sock 🥰
I wore injinjis on the Pacific Crest Trail and never got blisters. Now I always hike in them - so my shoes are sized to them... and it turned into me wearing them all the time when I'm on my feet for a bit. Do 15-30 miles a day for a few months and you'll understand. Soooo many long distance hikers and ultrarunners wear them. You can pry them out of my cold, dead hands, Phily lol
I think with good quality socks the risk of ill effect is likely to be negligible. Interestingly there's some evidence that calf sleeves actually prevent GI upset in Marathon racing.
I'm a physical therapist, and run about 30-40 miles a week. I find calf sleeves are perfectly fine as long as they aren't too tight. Definitely feels good when I face shin splints
I always run with my vest. No matter what distance. Most times I’m not even carrying liquids. I use it to carry my phone and pepper spray because running alone without protection is not an option. So putting on my vest is the same as lacing up my shoes 😊🇨🇦
Same here… it is the only solution to take my phone with me without getting chafed. I do have to admit that I have a very small one for below 90 minutes runs and a “normal” sized one for the bigger work and the trails.
@ time to time there are coyotes roaming very close to the residential area where I live. I’ve also been running in the trails and had 3 deer jump from the woods onto the path very suddenly and sacred the life out of me. I also had a friend who recently got bitten by a dog that was running with his owner unleashed. Having some sort of protection puts my mind at ease.
For all the Hyrox people out there I’m gonna defend you through an aphorism that is often shortened, but means something completely different when the whole quote is recited: “A jack of all trades is a master of none, but oftentimes is better than a master of one.” I’ve never seen the point in trying to be the best at one single thing, but kudos to those who continue to break records. I respect the grind.
Love this 😂 BTW congrats Philly and Daniel, you only have 5k subscribers before your 100k goal before the end of the year 🎉🎉 feel like a proud parent watching you guys grow ❤️
This is gold 😂 However I’m Christina age 53 with a medal rack 😂 In a spare bedroom though, purely for my enjoyment 😂 Although might move it to behind my desk now so all my colleagues can see it when I’m on a Teams call 😂
I'm an ultra runner/ mountain runner and recently exploring the idea of hyrox. Heres my view (nobody asked) I do get that hyrox can be a bit cringe as it's quite influencer heavy. But the main benefit I see is that most weight lifters could really benefit from some cardio focus and most runners could really focus with some weight lighting (both are crucial to a healthy and long life).. so this has just created an environment that allows people to test themselves. Plus the training isn't as intense and it doesn't leave you as knackered. Plus top end hybrid athletes looks better that top end runners/weight lifters (in my opinion) So I think hyrox / hybrid ticks a lot of the right boxes.
This video it is so good, so funny!! I found by UA-cams recommendation and proceeded to watch your 2h25 marathon PB. I love the way you are, you are simply amazing, one of us and still a hell of a runner. I started running (properly training with a coach) 6 months ago and did a 1h33 HM. Your marathon video inspired me to make my first marathon in a sub 2h50 time. I literally was doing an easy jog in the threadmill and I could see my bpm rising significantly because I was so excited for you. It will be 2-3 years of training for that, but I’ll make sure to print this and come back in one of your videos to say “I loved the grind”. Best of luck, you’re the best!!
I have my handful of metals hanging on my wall. I'm just a 40 yo hobby jogger. But I love seeing them. They are just in my bedroom displayed for myself and if my family wants to see them. I've gotten out of running at certain points in my life but sometimes when I wake up and see them it pushes me a bit to get out there and Run because I remember the enjoyment of doing those races. I loved this video and Phily you're amazing!
For me personally I ALWAYS run with a vest but for a very specific reason. I wear Bluetooth hearing aids and the Bluetooth is fairly low power. If I keep my phone in a pocket or belt on my waist or even an upper arm holder my music or audio books cut in and out, especially when I turn my head. My vest has a pocket that my phone goes in that keeps it up close to my head eliminating this issue. Since I’m running with a vest anyway I keep a house key and copies of my ID etc in it all the time so I can just “grab and go”, often without water. So yea, even on a 5K run you’ll see me with my vest! (Of course I total appreciate this is only applicable to me!) 😊
Calf sleeves do make sense and are actually cheaper: as socks wear out much more quickly, having separate calf sleeves you only need to replace the low socks instead of the long compression socks. Don't know if they work though. But I still wear them as can be seen on my profile pic XD
Love the 💕 you gave to triathletes. I just ran a marathon PB at Marine Corps Marathon a month after doing a full Ironman. My aerobic engine was the biggest it’s ever been!!
Trailrunning is the greatest😍 well at least if you live in Switzerland - its just stunning everywhere in the mountains! Much prefer it to running on the street, mainly for the views & the adventure though. There’s some wonderful UTMB-races around!
Had to hold my breath while you debated triathlon - so relieved when it passed the test 🤣 This is even more ridiculous when I reveal that I don't actually do triathlons, I'm just an avid fan 🤣🤣🤣
Toe socks rock if you have blister problems. I had to strap my toes in muddy XC races or they would get trashed. After starting using the injinjis, I never had a problem.
SAME! Started reading through the comments hoping to see others in my boat. Wearing anything but toe socks causes little blisters on the tips of my toes (and I've tried various shoes and the runner's lacing lock) Thanks for the videos Phily - Love the Grind!
Lol, I have a medal rack, but my husband bought it for me, and it's in our bedroom so nobody else sees it 😂 I'm trying to do a half marathon in all 50 states, so it is a fun visual reminder of my progress, but mostly it's just a practical place to put all of the medals until I'm ready to do something else with them.
My running medals are hanging on nails hammered into the wall - does that go into your bin? Great video, Phily. Made me laugh several times. Love the grind!
I use my vest for all distances, Just because I need to carry my phone with me to track my workout and listen to music (I don’t have a fancy watch)and for my keys and stuff, and any other solution like hip pockets doesn’t work for me. Love the video ❤😂
I love lifting weights and i love running. I feel like Hyrox is a pretty damn good challenge that combines both, so why not? I'm not going to be an Olympic athlete in either disciplines (as you said), but neither mostly of the people who hate on hyrox.
Strava AI: I'll be interested to see where this goes. At the moment you can see it's trying but it doesn't actually _understand_ training. My favourite comment from it was (paraphrased but the last bit is exact words)- "you went faster than usual, good job. But your run was shorter than usual, maybe you should work on endurance." I mean, it's not wrong in that I could always do with improving endurance. But maybe it's just me but I can't do both faster _and_ longer simultaneously... By the way, if anyone does the Berkeleys, surely that's the epitome of loving the grind?
Laughed SO HARD at some of the hot takes! 😂 you’ll have to pry my medal rack full of half marathons out of my cold dead hands. Also so happy someone else is oddly obsessed with the Barklays marathons
I’m always surprised with how many of these we agree on, and it’s about time someone called out US golf course running. Give me Parliament Hill any day. Well, maybe not any day.
whats wrong with being average at everything? id rather behing able to lift and run than being super good at only one thing if im doing it as hobbie, thats me tho
There I was stewing about +30 minute YT videos and then this gem comes along. Riveting for every single second and hilarious. Daniel's editing goes in the LOVE THE GRIND category!
Your comments about Hyrox made me spit out my drink with laughter 😂 if you ever posted that on IG you would have an army of enraged people! This video really made me laugh a lot. Thanks for deterring me away from a medal hangar... in the box they shall remain!
5:00 love you for roadting HYROX. As an athletic but miniature guy (5'2", 1,57m) I'm supposed to do WHAT farmer carries??? As soon as they adjust weight based on one's own body weight I'd give it a try but they'll never do that 😅.
I used to have a wooden ski tip in the hallway of our old house, it had all the medals etc, but after the move it is all in drawer. What I don't have any longer (I'm 67) is knee cartilage & meniscus to avoid bone-on-bone pain while running, particularly downhill. :-( BTW, if anyone thinks just running (track/road/trail) can be boring, orienteering is by far the most interesting way to engage both the mind and the body. EDIT: Since you appreciate Jasmin Paris and her totally amazing BM finish, you obviously realize that being able to navigate while running is good!
Big toe box shoes and toe socks are fantastic. Looks funny but it saves my feets from so many blisters. I'll die defending this on the toe sock hill, they are great! 😂😂
I camped at the campgrounds in Frozen Head and was so stoked to run on the Barclay trail while there. Touch the arm there…. Will I ever attempt to actually do it, nope 😂
@@notarabbit1752 Nope, massage guns are proven to be much more effective. Foam rolling is still nice, but massage guns provide so much more impact and deep tissue massage.
The rise of actual good tasting non-alcoholic beer, wine, mocktails, etc. is a godsend. I LOVE alcoholic beverages, but the research is just so clear about how awful it is for you, and I love that more options are available on the market and they all taste so much better than they used to.
Love running in cities. Each new one I end up in, I lace up and go for an easy run. They're not all like London. Thoroughly enjoyed Porto and Budapest, for instance, and Berlin was also nice. Got me interested in armband HRMs. Will delve. Thanks for the sass!
Recovery boots vs massage- at £30 a time a massage every week is £1,560 per year, so boots are actually far cheaper and can be used anytime you want. Thanks for another great video.
Haha legit thought of our UA-cam legend Mark Lewis when you came for the “Marks” Philly. He’s fantastic I’m subscribed to him too but that was too funny. I hope he sees this, I reckon he’d love it. Also so cool to come home to this; did my first trail marathon today and what a way to finish a great day!
I think what makes Hyrox so ick is that there's this idea that they're trying to make a new running category because they happen to have another hobby. I've seen a few races pop up hosted by hyrox/crossfit clubs that, instead of age groups, have weight groups. It's sooo ick. Why not just do decathlon? Those folks don't separate themselves into weight groups, they're just very good at everything.
How long should you display medals for? Mine seem to be stashed everywhere, clothes draws, jocks and socks draw, still in luggage bags… sums up my house tidying
I think the general point that needs to be made is don't knock something till you try it. You may end up loving trail running in toe shoes and calf sleeves :)
Ok in defense of hydration vests for shorter runs, it be like that in the U.S. south sometimes. You’ll wake up to 70 or 80 degrees F in the summer and it’s not fun 😂
Interesting list. I’m confused about two things - the heart rate monitor being so high (more in a minute) and the massage gun in the bin while the Normax are in the MEH. I would put both of those in the Would Recommend or PB Material category, personally. On cost bases and ease of transport, the gun would probably go higher. I can’t express how much better I feel from a lactate elimination perspective after using the gun, especially, but also the compression pants. As for the HR monitor, there’s so much latency with these things that they’re nearly worthless for judging your current effort. If you want to know what your overall HR is while running a longer run they can be of value. One thing not on your list and should be there in place of the HR monitor, and I would have suggested it had I been an Instagram follower, is a Stryd power meter. Now that Olympian marathoner Clayton Young is using them and promoting them, maybe they’ll catch on. It’s definitely a pardigm shift in how you approach running, but definintely worth a look. (Garmin, Apple or other power meters on watches - avoid them.) Love the Grind!
I was staggered she said the words "sugar" and "good for you" in the same sentence. Getting a carbs/starchy boost after a serious run is absolutely 100% a necessity, but a refined carbs boost?? All you're going to do with that is crash in five minutes.
How can I get to sub 20 5k? Is more either: (A) more zone 2 important; (B) More 1km repeats/500m repeats etc. if so how many, how much faster than 5k pace?; or (C) longer tempo (i.e. 5-10k or longer?); also what is your mileage for the week? Any response would be hugely appreciated!! :)
Hey Phily! I have a question about finding my lactate th. I ran my first half marathon with an average hr of 184 ( but felt my calves starting to tighten up a lot at about 17km), max of 192, all the time above 175. I fear I might do th sessions above my actual th. I did a garmin guided test and the lactate th could not be detected. Any tips on how to estimate it before entering my first marathon training block? Thanks for the fun video!❤
I’ll run parkrun in a hydration vest if I’m doing it as part of a parkrun sandwich (making it the middle of my long run) and/or I don’t feel safe leaving my stuff somewhere! For a proper race 8 miles + is when I start using one
Love this video! Trail runners as the Orcs😂Such a good burn. But I need to disagree on paper towels. They take way longer to breakdown than toilet paper.

trail is great...and the Vest is absolutely mandatory, snacks, drinks, shells, and everything else. In most races you have "required equipment" you must bring with you in order to even start the race, or you will be considered "unfit"

PS. I am average on only running 🤣
Was absolutely going to write that. Being average in both is twice as good as my average situation
Hydration vest - you will want one at any time if you are living in Phoenix. Last time I ran even a mile, mid summer, at 98 degrees at 7am.

Hahahah literally just got back from the shop after purchasing Injinji toe socks to help with blisters
WIth toe socks I don't need to tape my toes before a long run or marathon. I never have any blood in my shoes.
I wore injinjis on the Pacific Crest Trail and never got blisters.

I literally came to make the same comments.
The switch to toe socks has eliminated blisters for me, so....
Commenting as a trail runner who tried UTMB (DNF) and just signed up for a Hyrox race. You nailed it :)
As a nurse I have to say compression needs to be from the toes to the knee. Calf "sleeves" are more likely to impede circulation.
I think with good quality socks the risk of ill effect is likely to be negligible. Interestingly there's some evidence that calf sleeves actually prevent GI upset in Marathon racing.
Siemce also says ist has no effect
I like them for shin discomfort
I'm a physical therapist, and run about 30-40 miles a week. I find calf sleeves are perfectly fine as long as they aren't too tight. Definitely feels good when I face shin splints
I use them to avoid nettle stings and bramble scratches trail running. Socks don't cut mustard!😂
I always run with my vest. No matter what distance. Most times I’m not even carrying liquids. I use it to carry my phone and pepper spray because running alone without protection is not an option. So putting on my vest is the same as lacing up my shoes 😊🇨🇦

where do you live in canada where you feel threatened at all times while alone
@ time to time there are coyotes roaming very close to the residential area where I live. I’ve also been running in the trails and had 3 deer jump from the woods onto the path very suddenly and sacred the life out of me. I also had a friend who recently got bitten by a dog that was running with his owner unleashed. Having some sort of protection puts my mind at ease.

I'm a male, but I hate running with stuff in my shorts pockets because they bounce around. Hydration vest provides the solution there.
Me too I'm quite well endowed so there is a lot of flopping around but now I use a twist-tie and secure my package firmly before an intense session.
just no. You have something that is called belt.

Not everyone wants to be a top level bodybuilder/runner.
People can actually have goals to have both decent physique and cardiovascular health.

Same!!! 😂
Was poised over the unsubscribe button while she discussed triathlon!! Top video this, she’s great!
Triathlon is just the natural result of crosstraining for running just a tad too much.
Amateur triathlete is my whole identity. So glad she respects it. I of course would still watch her content because she is awesome, but spitefully.
At the high school level, cross country can be a very muddy experience. The golf course thing is really centric to the college level
except for woodbridge lol
Toe socks rock if you have blister problems. I had to strap my toes in muddy XC races or they would get trashed. After starting using the injinjis, I never had a problem.
More of these please 😂 they're hilarious! Also looking forward to my PBRC t shirt
New runner just starting out, this is great had me cracking up the whole time! 😂
Love those toed socks. If I wear anything else, I get blisters. Absolute god-send
Yes, that's what I heard about these. So in that case PB material for you!
SAME! Started reading through the comments hoping to see others in my boat. Wearing anything but toe socks causes little blisters on the tips of my toes (and I've tried various shoes and the runner's lacing lock)
Thanks for the videos Phily - Love the Grind!
Lol, I have a medal rack, but my husband bought it for me, and it's in our bedroom so nobody else sees it 😂 I'm trying to do a half marathon in all 50 states, so it is a fun visual reminder of my progress, but mostly it's just a practical place to put all of the medals until I'm ready to do something else with them.
My running medals are hanging on nails hammered into the wall - does that go into your bin? Great video, Phily. Made me laugh several times. Love the grind!
I use my vest for all distances, Just because I need to carry my phone with me to track my workout and listen to music (I don’t have a fancy watch)and for my keys and stuff, and any other solution like hip pockets doesn’t work for me. Love the video ❤😂
I love lifting weights and i love running. I feel like Hyrox is a pretty damn good challenge that combines both, so why not? I'm not going to be an Olympic athlete in either disciplines (as you said), but neither mostly of the people who hate on hyrox.
The fact that my participation medal display is visible on Zoom is PURE COINCIDENCE 🏅
Lmao I love this kind of sassy Phily. More pls
Glad this video was put in my recommended section. Will definitely watch more videos! From a running hobbyist!
Strava AI: I'll be interested to see where this goes. At the moment you can see it's trying but it doesn't actually _understand_ training.
My favourite comment from it was (paraphrased but the last bit is exact words)- "you went faster than usual, good job. But your run was shorter than usual, maybe you should work on endurance."
I mean, it's not wrong in that I could always do with improving endurance. But maybe it's just me but I can't do both faster _and_ longer simultaneously...
By the way, if anyone does the Berkeleys, surely that's the epitome of loving the grind?
Pls more of that😂😂 crying, laughing, dying on the floor
40 male sitting here glad my medal rack fell of the wall the other day 😭
Humblebrag much? Haha
@@scriptosaurusrex 🤣
Laughed SO HARD at some of the hot takes! 😂 you’ll have to pry my medal rack full of half marathons out of my cold dead hands. Also so happy someone else is oddly obsessed with the Barklays marathons
Well done both ! Phily and Daniel..!! Raw, honest and funny
toe socks for running are amazing if you are prone to blisters around the toes!
Mark Lewis has a medal rack and loves hyrox 😂
I got the feeling, from his last few videos, that he's given all that up now though. He doesn't even seem to run much these days.
But he is in his fifties no?
Lost a lot of respect for him when he started using weight loss drugs.
I’m always surprised with how many of these we agree on, and it’s about time someone called out US golf course running. Give me Parliament Hill any day. Well, maybe not any day.
I love this video, simultaneously I feel attacked. Great combo, so I had to subscribe. Great Work!
whats wrong with being average at everything? id rather behing able to lift and run than being super good at only one thing if im doing it as hobbie, thats me tho
There I was stewing about +30 minute YT videos and then this gem comes along. Riveting for every single second and hilarious. Daniel's editing goes in the LOVE THE GRIND category!
Strava segments motivate me to run really painful hillsprints. I do it 60% for the training effect and 40% to get the segment.
"I'm not a scientist. *no sh*t, Sherlock!* - Daniel, your editing always makes me laugh =D
Your comments about Hyrox made me spit out my drink with laughter 😂 if you ever posted that on IG you would have an army of enraged people! This video really made me laugh a lot. Thanks for deterring me away from a medal hangar... in the box they shall remain!
Don’t want to cause a war with trail runners, meanwhile Daniel sets the graphics 😂
Great choice of mug by the way. I literally got the same one this week. Great size holds perfect volume, would recommend. 16:29
5:00 love you for roadting HYROX. As an athletic but miniature guy (5'2", 1,57m) I'm supposed to do WHAT farmer carries??? As soon as they adjust weight based on one's own body weight I'd give it a try but they'll never do that 😅.
Just have to share my excitement. Bought a vest 🎉🎉 love the grind
This is toooo funny - love it!!!😆 More sassy Phily please!🤭🤗
I used to have a wooden ski tip in the hallway of our old house, it had all the medals etc, but after the move it is all in drawer. What I don't have any longer (I'm 67) is knee cartilage & meniscus to avoid bone-on-bone pain while running, particularly downhill. :-(
BTW, if anyone thinks just running (track/road/trail) can be boring, orienteering is by far the most interesting way to engage both the mind and the body.
EDIT: Since you appreciate Jasmin Paris and her totally amazing BM finish, you obviously realize that being able to navigate while running is good!
This is definitely one of my favourite videos you've put out - and I do Hyrox!
Big toe box shoes and toe socks are fantastic. Looks funny but it saves my feets from so many blisters. I'll die defending this on the toe sock hill, they are great! 😂😂
Phily, love you. Love the grind. Two ageist comments. Giving me the ick.
Right! This video was not it
Yea did not like the condescending tone of those few comments, made her sound a bit smug and out of touch.
Never mind ...just keep enjoying your running, be proud of yourself & stay well.....👍👍👍🏃🏃
I ran my first marathon (age 30) this weekend. Calf sleeves actually saved me so much pain. Same for toe socks!
This was a lot of fun, even if I did disagree with a couple of things, great video! Running from London, and enjoying it 😅
Coming from the cycling world where sniping segments is typical; i will continue to plan an entire workout around doing it 😅
I camped at the campgrounds in Frozen Head and was so stoked to run on the Barclay trail while there. Touch the arm there…. Will I ever attempt to actually do it, nope 😂
The only one that really surprised me was the massage gun. In the bin without explanation? I love my massage gun.
its the same as foam rolling and she foam rolls lol
@@notarabbit1752 Nope, massage guns are proven to be much more effective. Foam rolling is still nice, but massage guns provide so much more impact and deep tissue massage.
The rise of actual good tasting non-alcoholic beer, wine, mocktails, etc. is a godsend. I LOVE alcoholic beverages, but the research is just so clear about how awful it is for you, and I love that more options are available on the market and they all taste so much better than they used to.
I started running at over 200lbs(male,top heavy) the toe shoes really helped strengthen my feet…. And also made me walk my dogs more 😊
I drink chocolate milk after every run and I love it! lol
Love running in cities. Each new one I end up in, I lace up and go for an easy run. They're not all like London. Thoroughly enjoyed Porto and Budapest, for instance, and Berlin was also nice.
Got me interested in armband HRMs. Will delve. Thanks for the sass!
Recovery boots vs massage- at £30 a time a massage every week is £1,560 per year, so boots are actually far cheaper and can be used anytime you want. Thanks for another great video.
But recovery boots wont offer the same benefits, its just compression and placebo.
Absolutely loved this video! I have now removed my medal holder 😂
So much fun watching it! Thank you.
Haha legit thought of our UA-cam legend Mark Lewis when you came for the “Marks” Philly. He’s fantastic I’m subscribed to him too but that was too funny. I hope he sees this, I reckon he’d love it.
Also so cool to come home to this; did my first trail marathon today and what a way to finish a great day!
if u r going to continue doing the 90 (30) as training means its it should be top tier LOVE THE GRIND cos u know it will help u
I think what makes Hyrox so ick is that there's this idea that they're trying to make a new running category because they happen to have another hobby. I've seen a few races pop up hosted by hyrox/crossfit clubs that, instead of age groups, have weight groups. It's sooo ick.
Why not just do decathlon? Those folks don't separate themselves into weight groups, they're just very good at everything.
First video I've ever watched of you, immediately a fan! Have heard of you through Kofuzi
How long should you display medals for?
Mine seem to be stashed everywhere, clothes draws, jocks and socks draw, still in luggage bags… sums up my house tidying
I laughed way too loud @ 29:15 😂😂😂
I think the general point that needs to be made is don't knock something till you try it. You may end up loving trail running in toe shoes and calf sleeves :)
Ok in defense of hydration vests for shorter runs, it be like that in the U.S. south sometimes. You’ll wake up to 70 or 80 degrees F in the summer and it’s not fun 😂
Sat down to watch this video with a cup of tea. What mug do you pick up but the exact one I have in front of me!
Great content Malfoy!
Interesting list. I’m confused about two things - the heart rate monitor being so high (more in a minute) and the massage gun in the bin while the Normax are in the MEH. I would put both of those in the Would Recommend or PB Material category, personally. On cost bases and ease of transport, the gun would probably go higher. I can’t express how much better I feel from a lactate elimination perspective after using the gun, especially, but also the compression pants.
As for the HR monitor, there’s so much latency with these things that they’re nearly worthless for judging your current effort. If you want to know what your overall HR is while running a longer run they can be of value. One thing not on your list and should be there in place of the HR monitor, and I would have suggested it had I been an Instagram follower, is a Stryd power meter. Now that Olympian marathoner Clayton Young is using them and promoting them, maybe they’ll catch on. It’s definitely a pardigm shift in how you approach running, but definintely worth a look. (Garmin, Apple or other power meters on watches - avoid them.)
Love the Grind!
Hi philly! Can you do a video about your marathon recovery routine? Just ran my first and feeling pretty out of sorts
chocolate milk? i earned this treat...
I was staggered she said the words "sugar" and "good for you" in the same sentence. Getting a carbs/starchy boost after a serious run is absolutely 100% a necessity, but a refined carbs boost?? All you're going to do with that is crash in five minutes.
How can I get to sub 20 5k? Is more either: (A) more zone 2 important; (B) More 1km repeats/500m repeats etc. if so how many, how much faster than 5k pace?; or (C) longer tempo (i.e. 5-10k or longer?); also what is your mileage for the week? Any response would be hugely appreciated!! :)
Hey Phily! I have a question about finding my lactate th. I ran my first half marathon with an average hr of 184 ( but felt my calves starting to tighten up a lot at about 17km), max of 192, all the time above 175. I fear I might do th sessions above my actual th. I did a garmin guided test and the lactate th could not be detected. Any tips on how to estimate it before entering my first marathon training block? Thanks for the fun video!❤
I’ll run parkrun in a hydration vest if I’m doing it as part of a parkrun sandwich (making it the middle of my long run) and/or I don’t feel safe leaving my stuff somewhere! For a proper race 8 miles + is when I start using one
Love this video! Trail runners as the Orcs😂Such a good burn. But I need to disagree on paper towels. They take way longer to breakdown than toilet paper.
