Hi Charlie, are you contactable via email? I tried the address linked to this account but it failed to deliver. I have a favour to ask you in relation to a Waterford man and LA 1984!! regards....

My excuses have become null and void after watching this!

Ha Ha - Golden Opportunity. LOVE IT…

Hello Charlie… I’ve just watched the 1984 Marathon… Your measured approach to it made sure the Smart person won the Race… I admire you so much for that… So I searched you up on KZbin, and here I am… My wife is an advocate of Holistic Wellbeing… so we’ll Subscribe and watch your videos one by one… All the best Charlie, and much love to you, from Hammersmith, West London.

Can’t believe I’m only finding this channel now. All these talks are absolute gold, thanks for the inspiration Charlie!

Thank you for your nice insight on this topic. You said it all. "....What works best individually and you can be able to adapt, less injuries and good health... ( I have seen a lot of training philosophies but what matters is what works best for you!)

Please could I have the link to the Powell study? I would like to have a deep dive! Thanks so much I'm intrigued.

Love the attitude! There's never an excuse, no point in lying to yourself.

Great to see you on KZbin Charlie. Read your book last year and absolutely loved it, such an inspiring mindset and work ethic. Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on here.

Thank you Charlie, great insight. Did an easy run and reflected on your words and reframing through language. It is so simple yet thoroughly fantastic advice.

Another brilliant, personal talk! Thank you

I grew up in an era where you had 3 meals a day, the largest meal being eaten in the middle of the day, the last meal about 5pm. It never occurred to us that we were ‘fasting’ until breakfast. We didn’t even snack on fruit, fruit tended to be in the form of pudding like an apple crumble with custard. We did have quite a high level of carbs in our diet such as potatoes with our protein and a couple of other vegetables on the side. Yorkshire puddings and dumplings were had to fill us up cheaply, but the quantities we ate were smaller and everything was made from scratch. I think even cooking has become more complicated as we only seem to have chefs to to teach us. I learnt to cook from my mother and grandmother, plus I also had cookery lessons at school which lasted half a day. That came at a price though, because we weren’t taught any science or those other ‘boys’ subjects. Now I’m a lot older, I still eat along those principles. We’re lucky that we have a much wider range of fresh produce to choose from, but I’m also struggling to stop the weight increase which seems to be inevitable as hormones change with age. 🤷🏻‍♀️

I ended up here because I was researching why wild animals don’t get fat. Nice to hear a calm, thoughtful and knowledgeable presentation. I loved the CRAP acronym. But the thing is, I don’t eat CRAP foods and I’m still putting on weight at an alarming rate, ever since osteoarthritis in my hip has stopped me from doing the exercise I loved. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Iv been using the caterpillar-butterfly analogy too. Iv considered my years with severe mecfs to be my catalyst/cocoon time Currently rebuilding my body n starting exercise regime

That is shocking! I wasnt good at sports at school, but i loved to dance n ride horses To consider all my peers i was jealous of for being better wouldnt exist today

Love the analogy of birds. I wonder if this is why some birds spit out certain seeds from feeders to get the sunflower seeds

What an video Charlie. I am a supporter of low carb eating and the science behind this. I was advised in the late 80s after having my gallbladder removed to keep to a low fat diet. And my weight has crept up incrementally since then. Despite not eating last amounts of food all feeling particularly hungry. Your video is very easy to understand without too many facts and figures. I find some other low carb supporters have too many facts and figures.

Brilliant set of videos, based on knowledge and sense, as opposed to political quick fixes and drugs, which mainly help the pharmaceutical companies.

Thank you Charlie for inspiring so many of us to become more than we thought possible. The first book my running coach told me to read was Last To First and it changed my life by teaching me how to believe in myself as a runner. I soon learnt that you can run all the miles you want as a runner but without that, you will never come close to your potential.

Thanks. It’s a pity more aren’t listening. The evidence is there. You can’t exercise out of a bad diet. Working in a school you see the unfortunate results of this marketing every day.

Just love the acronym! 😊

Thanks , common sense, is a most uncommon thing. One of the most unforgettable finishes in a race Marathon 1984 LA. 🇮🇪

Thank you i've just started to get into races. This helped alot

Superb... Thanx for sharing your running wisdom...your book is one of my all time Favourite books about running... Cheers...

Excellent, a bit more than just following the Lydiard schedule Thank you

Thank you Charlie. Now I better understand. Looking forward to more. HURRY!!!! In JOY, PattiD

I’ve just googled national Dietary Guidelines and the NHS Eatwell Guide says we should base meals on potatoes, bread,rice or pasta or other starchy carbohydrates. They talk about a balanced diet but the emphasis seems wrong. Good video Charlie your message is clear carbs are the enemy for most people!

Good call Charlie

Thanks Charlie, I would like to lose weight and I will follow your initiative. Can you you let me know the best way of getting a copy of your book, “Stop Feeding Us Lies”? Thanks Charlie.

I've read your book, fantastic read Charlie!

Hello Charlie, I have subscribed to your channel. Looking for to being involved. Best wishes.

Good sharing, cheers... As a runner, I truly understand... I would have done the same thing.

Hi Charlie, always followed your running career and good to hear you voicing a common sense, logical and intelligent approach to health, I hope you can continue speaking the truth.

Excellent thanks

Looking forward to hearing more from you Charlie.

Loved the caterpillar analogy Charlie.
