    When I first started running I was bummed out I was so slow. But it didn't take me too long to realize that I wasn't "slow" I was just "weak." And like Sally said, bodyweight exercises are no joke.

    Just found this channel after hearing the Marathon Training Academy interview. Having watched a few videos here, and having previously seen 1000 other ultra running, strength running videos, I cannot for the life of me comprehend how this channel doesn't have 2m followers. Instead of focusing on top ten vegan beet smoothies for trail runners, this channel is simply full of really hard work and dedication to personal development. This is an absolute master class in what it takes to be a world class athlete when you really pay attention to the workouts and movements. Huge fan now.

    What you said about us all being strong, and strength coming from within, was wonderful. That's one of the reasons I love ultras. I toe the line with people who are far more genetically blessed than I am... who have much more expensive gear... who have much more time to train... (I work 65+ hours a week). Yet at the end of the day, I don't feel like an imposter, because I know my grit and determination are first class. I might be slow, and wearing second hand shoes, but I am determined.

    Strength and conditioning coach and former gym owner here. The number of runners that improved their performance after adding strength training to their routine vs declining was always 100% to 0%. Glad you're an advocate and more runners should move away from the stigma.

    You are such an inspiration to me! I got your app and I’m on day 5 of the 30 day program… I am training for a half marathon, and I had a panic attack the other day, thinking that I wouldn’t be able to do it. I watched an interview that you did and you inspired me so much with your words. I am a slow runner and I know I will be in the back of the pack, but I am not doing it for others, I’m doing it for me, so it doesn’t matter where I am as long as I finish.

    Finally I found someone who thinks like I do. I’ve been working out like this for years. I’m 62 and feel fantastic! Unstructured workouts, listening to my body and just knowing what to do and what not to do in detail has always been the key to success. I’m constantly inventing/creating new types of movements that cater to my needs. It’s an ongoing constant editing process that never ends. A wonderful lifestyle that doesn’t feel like work at all. I look forward to working out all the time. My goal is not ultras like you👍 instead it’s just living a life being fit and healthy and injury free. One of many goals of mine is to do half my age in pull-ups every year. I turned 62 last June and did 33 pull-ups two months ago so I’ve met that goal already and just keep on doing maintenance work for pull-ups. Working out is just an awesome activity in life! I enjoyed your video. I could feel your energy. Good job keep it going even if there’s no specific competitions. Exercising for life👊🏼🙌👍

    This video resonates with me so much. I have had two different spinal injuries for about six years now and I was told by my surgeon I would never run again. But through mindset, hard work, determination and the grace of God, I now run half marathons, lift weights, and, I am working towards a full marathon next year. I love your content, I love that you guys are Christians - you can see it in the way you approach life.

      Had serious back surgery after 6 years of miserable pain.After only 6 months the pain returned and I was told I needed another surgery.I had several doctors condemn me to a life of very little physical activity.I decided to fix myself and long story short is I am now 40 and and run,mountainbike,hike with heavy bags,and lift heavy weights.Your mind is much stronger than a doctors diagnosis.

    I really like what you said about building a body for using outside of athletics. I've been going hard the last few months training for my first 50k and hopefully longer distances after. I enjoy the training but I've been having a bit of existential crisis wondering why I'm even doing this lol. I need to volunteer for something that makes me feel like I'm not just training for selfish reasons. I appreciate the inspiration!

(and which you then can give to your grandkids when the parents aren't looking)

    I would enjoy this kind of video on the day I'm not running.

I noticed the squats not being that deep, do you ever focus on deep squats and/or knee strengthening exercises like knees over toes stuff? Been suffering from PFPS recently that's why I'm asking.
    Thank you for being a huge inspiration. Also have Nike discontinued that beautiful yellow cap?
