i start running 2 years ago and my first 5k is 30 minutes, no idea with my heart rate. in less than 6 month i can run 5k under 25 minutes, my pr was 21minutes. My legs and lungs feel effortless running 5k under 25 minutes so i think it is okay to get faster. One day me and my friends doing 15x400, no problem in training. But the problem come at night when i was going to sleep, i cant sleep 3 days straight in a row😂. Decided to going to check up and find out my HR was fukin high, 92 while just sitting and going up to aerobic zone by just walking 5kmph. I bought a smartwatch and start MAF training 2 weeks later. 1 whole year of maf training anf i get a jackpot, able to run 5k under 18 minutes with low heart rate. From 202bpm to 180 in max effort, and way morr effortless running my easy runs

Love the vid, BUT the title is dangerous because, this is not the truth for everybody. You guys gotta stop taking the positive away from ppl with these titles, without giving it a balance, or the tables will turn. Every result doesn't fit EVERY person. You gotta give them a better edge than what your title says, because it can be misleading. Glad you explained it in your video, but the title can drain a person's mentality and confidence alone, just by reading it. Some titles are exactly what the vide9 is about. To beat ppl down. AGAIN, love this vid by the way, so pardon me, because ppl should be strong regardless, but that's a difficult task for us good folk. Evil ppl think all this hard work stuff is easy to do. They're Idiots. 😂 And you are a good guy, clearly; That's why I spoke on it. You explained it well. You weren't saying don't or it can't be done, you explained the wellness of it, and the mental drain it could have.

Great video - you do motivate and inspire - thank you. My niche is “Maui” - travel and visiting tips, and Maui life

Grocery Store, Alligator drink is tumor causing garbage!! I use HAMMER NUTRITION's 'HEED'. No sugar crash. No imitation or GMO crap in it!

Used to run 7 miles now 7 mins of running got me close to vomiting.😢

Going the extra mile.

1. Great vid 2. But there is one more culprit..id you connected your device to more than one account. Garmin support says you can't do that, btw

keep it up

Thank you for your review. I am undecided between asics Nimbus 26 and sky 8. Can I learn your opinion? Thank you

hahah awesome! I was having trouble with not tracking the sleep for two days, just did it. Waiting for tonight results, I'll update if its not worked! :)

Yep!

Because the younger ones are flocking to Tic Tok. I like things that are a bit longer and have some sort of substance to them in the long run. Just so many short mindless blurbs that I can tolerate. I have some videos, although it's really for my own entertainment and 'legacy'. May help some others in the same situations, may be boring as hell. I just do it because I like to. I am approaching retirement, so I need to do something to keep me busy.... I started my channel many years ago to keep videos that I didn't want to get lost when my phone died.

Congratulations!! Very good job on the video production. Very motivating. I may have to look into doing that race one day. 🙂

You still running in the Prince William Forest Park? I may be heading out that way for work in a few weeks. I'm not sure how much downtime I'll have but if you and I have time, I'd love to get in a few miles on those lively trails out there.

yes, many in their 40ʻs, 50ʻs and 60ʻs are becoming KZfaqrs - including me - ha ha ha - GenX here and I just "revived" my channel

I've lived life like there's no tomorrow for so long that I now resent every tomorrow that comes. Tomorrow is waiting for you every day. Tomorrow is relentless

Thinking these would be great post mtb ride and for summer time outside. Are they comfortable to use as an almost daily shoe?

Love this!!!

Ok so what do I do for that bill that's due tomorrow? How can I live like there's no tomorrow if I gotta pay the bills?

I get goosebumps every time I hear Apollo say this.

Misery, boredom and questioning my existence? I am Catholic, so I guess the answer is yes. All the time.

Remove carbohydrates.

Thanks for this! I'm encouraging my husband to make one. I'm under 100 followers.

Thanks I'm 67 running my first 50 miler this coming Sat. I've averaged 6-7 hours a week for two months... includes some walking. Here's to success!! I'm hoping to finish in under 12 hours!!

You had me at "questioning my existence".

Yes... yes... yes .... yes... well, guess I'm an ultra runner! 😂😂 You forgot "would you like to run through the wilderness, then have a picnic with a bunch of sweaty strangers, then run some more??" 😂

There is no tomorrow man, relax.

Tomorrow is guaranteed.🤔

So close ❤

My 8 year old wanted to race today and I pulled my hamstring lol

40 here and happy to see this!

You're the only one who doubted that would happen! 😂 We all knew you'd get there, and beyond.

Keep up the good work man!

Even though this is 5 years old, thanks for the encouragement and...wisdom! 😎

Running slows metabolism, strength training increases metabolism. I herd that on 'Everyday Ultra Podcast' with Joe Corcione the other day. It seems as though it would be the opposite.

That Huricane sat on top of my house for 9 hours. Was a long ride

this hits a bit..

its because I started using youtube 2 decades ago, and all the younger generation don't have the patience and flood tiktok.

Have a look at what you eat. The nutrition needs to stay the same as when younger but the calories need to drop a little. Basically, the quality of what you eat has to be way better than when younger. As a 60yr old runner I can tell you that every decade a set point seems to shift and the weight sneaks on. The only solution is to review what you’re eating and upgrade its quality and eat a managed quantity. The odd blowout, like a birthday, doesn’t do harm but any more frequent than monthly sneaks on the pounds.

John, super to see you finally put this recap together, great stuff 👍 Fantastic job by both of you, especially after what had occurred the year before, you're emotions must have been through the roof. This comes at a good time for me and has added to my motivation of achieving the 100 mile mark myself, one day, in the near future. After having struggled for the past 3 years with long covid, I'm finally back on track, following a training plan, running on a regular basis, and getting stronger by the week.

You might not eat enough or not frequent enough. A nutritionist might be able to help.

I feel this!! 😂😂 But to be fair, I look at running as a way to eat the foods I love. Bread, cheese, nachos (which are just a variation of bread and cheese...)

Amen. 40 miles a week just to maintain obese status.

Such a great accomplishment for You and Joe. A great day to go for a really long run!!! I know Joe is healed and doing well. You looked amazing at the end of race. Both of you fought off the hardships that come along with ultra running. It does hurt. I did a trail marathon back in May and it hurt for a while. I can only imagine the pain of going 100 miles. I was hurting after my JFK race just as much. Great work on the video John. Sound, editing and commentary. Very well done my friend.
