Thanks Floris, great video :) Favorite lesson from the video: "the most important person you're running for is the person you look in the mirror. Be honest with yourself and love the journey you're on."

Thank you for bringing John on your channel. Love John's candid sharing. I'm 52. No sports as my hobby until 45 I picked up running and ran my first marathon. Absolutely brutal for the first one, but I continued my attempt and started my WMM journey from a year later. Fast forward, I got all six stars and finished strong in Tokyo and Boston earlier this year. John inspired me to run a sub 3:30 with hope. I am currently training on 5K and 10K pace which takes time for me to adjust. I set my time horizon for two years and will see if I can run a sub 3:30 two years later. John's experience is encouraging for me to press on. Thank you.

Great interview. Very difficult to run in groups and do zone 2. I used to run on my own but its become dangerous. Found the part of HRV and alcohol very interesting.

The most important takeaways are strength training is critical and that no one really cares what your Strava time is as ur running against urself and just better urself !!!
