Deconstructing Eluid Kipchoge’s Incredible Marathon World Record

Primal Endurance Podcast

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 28, 2018 34:19


This episode was inspired by awesome email commentary from a devoted listener, Primal Endurance advocate, and accomplished collegiate level runner Jack McGinness. Kipchoge recently ran the Berlin Marathon in 2:01.39, shattering the previous record and closing in on the previously unfathomable 2:00 barrier. Kipchoge’s pace per mile was an astonishing 4:39. Most accomplished runners would be hard-pressed to match this pace for even a half a lap around a track, but Kipchoge can continue at this speed for 26 miles. This is truly one of the most phenomenal athletic performances of the past 100 years.  What’s interesting about Kipchoge’s story is that, just as Dr. Phil Maffetone predicted in his commentary on the Primal Endurance Mastery Course, Kipchoge has become the greatest marathoner in history by training easier than other elite marathoners. Strange as it may seem, this guy rarely exceeds what we call MAF pace. Oh, Kipchoge runs like the wind, on muddy trails and high altitude in Kenya, but he explains that he tries to never exceed 80% of his capacity, instead of saving his energy for races.   He is super consistent, super disciplined, but he never trashes himself, never gets sick or injured, and doesn’t even taper for races. He runs 110-120 miles a week with great discipline and joy. Hit some of the links in the show notes and learn how wise and thoughtful he is—far more than just a running machine! You will learn some interesting insights from this show, particularly when you compare and contrast Kipchoge’s eminently sensible approach with the ridiculous Type A chronic approach that is still the norm in America, particularly in the collegiate and high school systems. The cover of the book Primal Endurance says “Slow down to go faster,” and now Kipchoge has actualized this concept. SHOW NOTES: In the Berlin Marathon in September 2018 this runner came up with a 2:01:39 time. This computes to an average 4:39 mile!! [00:01:36]  Running is a most satisfying sport.  But you have to do it right. The running community in the past has been doing it disastrously wrong! [00:04:05]  Doping continues to be common in the running world. [00:06:28]  What is Kipchoge training method? He never over-extends himself. [00:09:53]  The only thing that is in somewhat conflict with the primal theory is he has a constant schedule. [00:15:42]  If you are a person who's trying to break the three-hour mark or the four-hour mark, just apply these insights to your relative example. [00:20:28]  The general problem with many American distance runners is too many type A runners who obsess over their workouts and paces and then fail to take care of the little things. [00:21:59]  Kipchoge is going to change the game.

#157: How To Run Faster

Primal Endurance Podcast

Play Episode Listen Later Jul 6, 2018 21:42


Brad lays out a master plan to improve your running performance, looking beyond the obvious and sometimes misguided insights to push harder, add more speed workouts, or run more miles. Endurance athletes often overlook the importance of technique, and often exhibit horrible technique. No excuses are such a simple sport! Golf - plenty of excuses for a lousy swing (it’s very technical and hard to develop), but not running! Some discussion of technique ensues, emphasizing balanced center of gravity at all times and good posture. The listener is urged to dive deep into the running technique instruction, drills and sprint workout videos in the Primal Endurance Mastery Course at primalendurance.fit. Sprinting is great for technique development because the penalty for a poor technique is severe. Ditto for running barefoot on concrete - you very quickly learn how to strike the ground and absorb shock optimally, and generate explosive force with each stride. In contrast, cushy running shoes ruin your proprioception and enable lousy technique to become ingrained   When you sprint, make sure it’s an actual sprint. Even reps of 100-meter sprints are great for the hormonal, musculoskeletal and technique refinement benefits. Brad rarely goes further than this. Sprints are quality over quantity, both in the frequency of workouts (3x/month during intensity phases is plenty) and duration of efforts. Most endurance athletes make their “speed” workouts a suffer fest (ahem, 6 x 800m and so forth). They just get exhausted, don’t really run explosively, and lose out on the benefits of actual sprinting. This show will be a real eye-opener for how to integrate high intensity into your schedule the right way and get you thinking more about good technique instead of just shuffling along.  QUOTES: “The penalty for technique errors and not properly absorbing the impact is severe.” SHOW NOTES: How does one build aerobic base efficiency? [00:00:58]  What is the cut-off point 50-50 performance? [00:05:30]  What are the benefits of doing super hard sprinting? [00:07:19]  Dorsa flex foot is like imagining pedaling your bike over hot lava. [00:08:40]  A good way to teach people how to run is to have them run barefoot on cement! [00:10:58]  How does one rewire the Central Nervous System to be more efficient? [00:13:59]  How often should a person sprint?

Primal Endurance Podcast

Host Brad Kearns talks to Andre Obradovic from Melbourne, Australia. Andre is a highly engaging personal trainer, triathlon coach, and elite level performer in the 50+ ranks at 70.3 triathlon—ranked 10th in the Ironman All World Athlete rankings for Australia, the most competitive triathlon environment on the planet, mate. Andre’s remarkable story of transitioning from a “little fatty carb burner, sucking up food like a pool sweep machine” back in 2011 to a lean, mean, fat burning beast will inspire you to trust the process and be the best you can be. Basically, Andre cut processed carbs, slowed down his training pace, threw in some mobility/flexibility and power training, and started getting healthier and faster. He went from needing an energy gel to complete a 10k run, to improve his marathon time by 17 minutes despite being 7 years older.  Now he is so committed to the primal approach that he refuses to train a prospective client in his gym until they agree to transition from a SAD diet (Standard Australian Diet - yes they wolf down Weetabix Down Under) to a nutritious, primal-style diet.  Andre peppers in some highly entertaining and memorable quotes during this show. Trust the process, don’t be a “muppet” (a blind follower of what Andre calls “conventional stupidity”), don’t fritter time away on “Wastebook”, and when you’re running a marathon, focus on a rapid cadence with balanced center of gravity, and try the mantra “Glutes On! Hips Up!”—yes, technique matters even when you’re jogging along at marathon pace. Try training and even racing without a watch to increase focus on form and intuitively optimal effort.   Andre relates how only two years ago, he was hopeless in the gym. He studied the Maximum Sustained Power concept detailed in Primal Endurance book and Mastery Course and even booked a private Skype session with MSP guru Jacques DeVore to get a custom program designed. Yeah, this dude you line up against in the 50-54 division is going into the gym and hitting the hex bar deadlift with multiple sets at 97 kilos (that’s 213lbs for a guy weighing a buck-forty - amazing!), along with numerous complementary exercises like lat pulls, clap pushups, Bulgarian split lunges (sounds hard), Swiss ball core work, and explosive lunge walks. Yes, friends, this is the picture of the evolved multisport athlete — grabbing podiums spots while training more sensibly and less exhaustively. This is not about flawed and dated “quality vs quantity” debate, but rather about eating right, balancing stress and rest at all times, honoring the MAF heart rate for aerobic development, looking at the big picture of training that includes flexibility/mobility and strength/power as well as endurance, making intuitive decisions (Andre does an extensive warmup in the gym and then has a “check-in” moment before he proceeds with the hard stuff.) Finally, Andre embodies that relaxed, “no worries, mate,” Aussie ethos where you tone down the misplaced competitive intensity and enjoy the journey. Andre reminds us that life is short but we are dead for a bloody long time, so you might as well make your best effort. Enjoy the show.    Andre Obradovic tells us his outstanding accomplishments and has good tips for maintaining health and recovering from stress caused fatigue.  [00:01:20]  Does he really run marathon at his MAF heart rate? [00:04:25]  After gaining weight, he was transformed back to normal healthy weight because of the dietary changes he made. [00:06:52]  Flexibility/mobility training is most important. [00:15:23]  Should you be focusing on your time and heart rate? [00:20:29]  Why are we in such a rush? [00:24:40]  We should be aware how stress affects the family. [00:27:23]  What does he mean by his "gluts and high hips" mantra when he is running? Why should we run with barefoot? 00:29:19]  You ought to be able to race without data. [00:32:41]  How does (MSP) maximum sustained power correlate to endurance competitive goals? What is Andre's workout routine?  00:36:59]  Checking in on our bodies is so important. [00:43:53]  MEMORABLE QUOTES - I go against conventional stupidity! - Don’t be a Muppet…get off the couch! - Personal trainers should be talking about diet before the physical training. - The endurance athlete’s perceived sign of success seems to be training themselves into exhaustion. - You ought to be able to race without data. - Think Wastebook instead of Facebook! - Checking in on our bodies is so important.   Andre Obradovic   Primal Endurance Mastery Course

Host Brad Kearns welcomes the Brock the Renaissance man from Vancouver, Canada. Brock is deep into the podcast scene as a producer and host of numerous health/fitness/primal-paleo/biohacking style shows, and also a longtime endurance coach. His Workplace Hero podcast helps those with sedentary office jobs make the best of their surroundings and minimize the health challenges of office work. Having been around the biohacking scene for a while, Brock states that he is generally the ultimate skeptic and non-responder to much fancy cool stuff that he has tried. This wide-ranging conversation unearths some memorable insights and clarities for those seeking an effective diet, exercise and lifestyle regimen.   This show covers: The state of the union and future hopes for the medium of podcasting; how Brock transitioned from a strict endurance athlete to hit the gym and get jacked! (including the top secret, highly questionable supplement that he obtained through a sketchy supplier that worked so well it scared the crap out of him!); the new trend of top endurance athletes passing on stretching, icing, massage, and foam rolling, because they’d rather feel the tightness and inflammation that is a fundamental component of the training effect. On that note, post-workout heat therapy is proving to be an excellent way to boost fitness, while cold therapy might be best in the early morning (per K-Starr), at least 2 hours after workouts to not interfere with the training effect, or in the evening (especially when paired with hot, like Brad in wintertime at his parents cold pool, hot spa in LA!). Along these lines, the pair discusses whether the benefits of yoga are overblown, and how pursuing broad-based fitness competency with functional mobility/flexibility exercises and increased general everyday movement might be the best winning ticket for athletes.   Brock geeks out with a great insight about Hebbs Law - where “neurons that fire together, wire together.” Translation: If your swim stroke or running form sucks, training will ingrain these technique flaws further. Enroll in the Primal Endurance Mastery Course and learn how to run with the grace and beauty of a deer! We end with a frank discussion about bio hacks - the pure nonsense out there, how lots of expensive high tech stuff lacks relevance to the average athlete, how bad lifestyle habits will render your hacks useless, and how Brock’s muscles got so big, so fast, he washed his fake essential oils down the toilet and stuck with the basics. This is a very entertaining show with both philosophical questions to ponder and practical tips to implement.  What going on in podcasting in today's community? [00:04:09]  How did Brock transition to strength training from his focus on endurance work? [00:13:06]  Is there a benefit of massage or yoga on athletes who are trying to bulk up their bodies? [00:17:52]  How does one know what level of fitness they have? [00:23:17]  What do we mean when we say the word "fitness"? What are you thinking when you hear that word? [00:29:51]  What holds people back from getting the proper fitness routine? [00:35:15]  How does Hebb's Rule affect technique and how can it work against you if you are learning? [00:36:59]  Don't we just know how to run naturally? [00:41:22]  Aren't there some shortcuts to fitness? [00:42:52]  What about cryotherapy? [00:51:14]  What is the benefit of the sauna?

Host Brad Kearns dusts off the age-old dilemma for endurance athletes: the relative benefits and contribution of intense efforts versus a commitment to aerobic base building to deliver best results. Brad reflects on his recent show with Dave Scott, where Dave advocated frequent brief, high intensity bursts during endurance workouts to flush the cardiovascular system and deliver rapid fitness improvements. Brad stacks this insight against Dr. Maffetone's extensive commentary in the Primal Endurance Mastery Course videos that there is a stress impact of every workout and that pursuing modern endurance goals is generally antithetical to health. Brad mentions his own experimentation with intuitive, very short duration bursts of high intensity effort, such as banging out 100 Decline Spiderman pushups every time he visits a certain dog park, and the idea that keeping things brief can prevent that breakdown and delayed recovery time from a grueling high intensity workout.   Brad also tackles a few listener questions in this show, relating to tapering (reduce volume, maintain intensity), applying the Primal Endurance principles to team sports, and finally a success story from Suzanne where she improved her ironman time by FOUR hours following Primal Endurance principles. Enjoy! How to reconcile the emphasis on aerobic base with Dave Scott's suggestion to include brief bouts of high intensity efforts frequently? [00:01:50]  Todd from Australia asks about having not much time to workout so when he does, his heart rate it elevated above aerobic maximum.

Tim DiFrancesco: Functional Fitness, Injury Prevention and the Customized Future Of Athletic Training

“Rinse, repeat, and live to fight another day.” These are the prophetic workouts that represent the cutting edge of athletic training and functional fitness. I catch up with former Los Angeles Lakers Strength and Conditioning Coach Tim DiFrancesco to discuss matters of great importance to weekend warriors everywhere: how to get the most out of your body and steer clear of nagging injuries and body breakdown that leaves many people on the sidelines or under the surgery knife before their time. Tim has retired from the grind of the NBA with many great insights and a tremendous database of assessments and exercises that help fitness enthusiasts of all levels correct functional weaknesses to improve performance and heal or prevent injuries. Tim’s best insight from his NBA experience is that c *hampions don’t have any special magic formula, but rather an ability to lock into a winning routine,* “nothing earth shattering,” that allows them to maintain an awesome functional fitness baseline. The best athletes establish a comfortable, do-able pattern of the right exercises without overextending themselves and breaking down. Learn more about Tim’s interesting customized approach to client programming at TDAthletesEdge.com ( http://tdathletesedge.com ). It starts with an assessment of how well you perform basic movements (the same thing he did to NBA draft prospects for the Lakers to see who’s been trained well and who has high injury risks before a multimillion dollar contract decision is made!), and then a consequent prescription of exercises to address areas of injury, pain and discomfort ― making them stronger without over-stressing them. Short of getting some custom programming from an expert, Tim offers listeners a cool Top 5 list of areas of most concern/injury risk, followed by a go-to exercise to improve function. Here is the list: * *Ankle/plantar fascia/Achilles:* Do calf raises (off the edge of a step or any elevated surface) * *Patellar/quadriceps area near knee:* The mighty wall sit is the isometric movement here! * *Quadriceps/hip flexors:* The “Sprinter” exercise where you lay on ground, bring knee to chest, and apply counter pressure with your hand * *Adductor (groin):* The “side laying bottom leg lift” aka the “TD Jane Fonda” move! * *Hamstrings:* Partner-assisted Nordic hamstring curl is the best, or a bridge pose with legs extended out instead of the usual near-to glutes position. This informative show will give you a complete understanding of the cutting edge concepts in functional fitness, injury prevention and peak performance. *TIMESTAMPS:* Tim DiFrancesco formerly worked with the LA Lakers, now has a cutting-edge fitness program. [04:58] If you're enjoyable to be around, if you add positive energy to the room, how can you lose? [08:39] Feeling strong in what you do physically is a good way to feel empowered emotionally and in everything else. [08:55] How does one optimize minimizing injury risk? [11:52] One important aspect is the degree of difficulty of the regimen. [15:47] The goal is not to crush you. The goal is to see if we can build you up and make you last forever. [19:46] Twelve weeks is a physiological window for you to be able to feel like you’ve put in the right effort. [23:54] It's not just muscles that get strong and more robust and healthier. The common denominator is strengthening. [25:09] An example is the meniscus of the knee. If it has been overtaxed, Tim would NOT have you working through pain. [33:43] Hip replacement surgery is only the last resort. Even surgery for torn meniscus. [38:27] When Tim films a client, what is he looking for as you squat or do a pushup. [45:06] Each client is different but there are some guidelines that are offered here. [51:22] There’s a golf standard hamstring exercise called Nordic hamstring curl.

Listener Q&A - Banishing Extra Body Fat + Plantar Fasciitis (For Good!), Sprinting, And Should You Stick To The MAF Method? (Breather Episode with Brad)

The B.rad Podcast

We are back with another Q&A show! Today I’ll be answering some more questions sent in from listeners concerning sprint workouts, the MAF method of training, and finally, I’ll share how you can banish extra body fat - once and for all. First up is a question from Sheila, who wrote in wanting to learn more about my cure for plantar fasciitis. Sheila is understandably sick of waking up every morning, unable to put any weight on her foot. Ouch! I can relate to how uncomfortable and painful this can be, as I suffered from mild to severe plantar fasciitis (on and off) for 15 years. It can be so debilitating to deal with, so check out my YouTube video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RRDC8erSNqw ) if you haven’t yet to watch me demonstrate the stretches that cured my plantar fasciitis. Just a few weeks of doing these stretches made a huge difference for me, and being consistent, and holding the stretches for a long period of time, was key. You don’t want to overdo it, but stay committed and try to hold them as long as you can - right up to the point where it starts to get a little uncomfortable. Don’t push yourself too hard and stay consistent, and you’ll see (and feel) the results. Next is in inquiry from Paul, who wants to know how to best balance basic marathon training with the MAF method of marathon training. I suggest doing predominantly aerobic training, mixed in with brief, explosive workouts to challenge anaerobic muscle fibers. But really, if you want to perform your best in a grueling, competitive environment like a marathon, then you have to work on honing your aerobic base. Extending the duration of longer runs will also help prepare you, but keep in mind the importance of rest when you are practicing these longer runs. I then tackle a question from a listener, Jason, who has been going between the keto and paleo diets for some years and is on blood pressure medication, even though he’s only in his 30s. But, Jason has also lost 28 pounds so far! Obviously, his goal is to lose more body fat. And interestingly, he has a twin brother, who has normal blood pressure and is also 20 pounds lighter than him. I understand the frustration of wanting to lose extra body fat as soon as possible (see my past episode, “Fatty Popcorn Boy” ( https://www.bradkearns.com/2019/07/05/fpb/ ) ), but the best method here is simply slowing down, having patience, and staying consistent with aerobic exercise that allows your fat burning capabilities to continuously improve. You really don’t want to stress your system out too much, and sometimes that requires a lot of restraint and patience! But it is way healthier to lose body fat at a slower, steady pace, than a fast, hurried one. And, it’s much more sustainable. To quote the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu, “Nature does not hurry, yet everything is accomplished.” Take your time, stay committed, and you will see results that actually last. That’s all for today, and if you have a minute, I would greatly appreciate it if you could leave a quick review on iTunes, or share a clip of a show you’ve enjoyed with friends. This is super easy to do if you have the Overcast app, because you can listen to your favorite podcasts, make playlists, and also text audio snippets from specific episodes to your friends. Please continue to write in with questions - I love reading your feedback and comments! *TIMESTAMPS:* Sheila asks about Brad’s cure for plantar fasciitis. She continues to do exercises but fears she’ll never get better. [03:14] Paul in Minnesota asks: In keeping with the MAF method of training, how do I lay out my marathon training schedule? [07:54] Sprinting workouts are highly recommended. [17:16] Jason has yoyo dieted, has gained weight, and is on BP meds.  He wants to lose the extra body fat and get off the BP meds.  He is frustrated about sticking to the MAF method.
