Ko in Flobergs channel is like watching the avengers assemble

[@flobergruns]

hahahahaha

[@gpccchun]

definitely the same feel as the first time seeing 2 MCU characters crossover...

[@kofuzi]

Thanks for making the trip up here. Good to see you!

Thanks for inviting us, Ko! Had such a blast!!

Here we go. Thank you for the support!!

[@borja14pastor]

Thanks for the conversion to metric! Appreciate it. Also, just checked that I'm running Madrid's marathon just 13 days after Boston (even hillier), so your workouts are somewhat aligned to my training plan. Keep them coming, these videos are great

[@flobergruns]

Let's go!! Best of luck on your race!

[@DeeKay1911]

These metric conversion was just amazing! Please make Nick do the same 😂

[@borja14pastor]

[@Cipover]

I didn't really think about it much but when I was young my dad was sometimes out running. He didn't talk about it much but he had a lot of medals from different marathons in his drawer. It was not until I was grown up that I realized that he was pretty good. He had a best of 2:36 I think. If one haven't done a lot of running oneself then the time doesn't say much, but now that I'm soon to be 42 and training for my first marathon I truly get how insane a sub 2:45 marathon is, or even sub 3 hours. Much respect for the hard work.

[@fsdfgwe]

Yeah non-runners can't really relate to times or distance. My mother thinks that me running 20km as training is impossible for the body. My best friend told me that he can run a 40:00 10K after I told him that my time is sub 40. The last time he did any endurance sport or running is 8-10 years ago and during that time his best 10K was a 48:00. He estimated that a normal marathon time is 2:30:00. My girlfriend, who has never run in her life, says she can easily run a 10K in an hour. Lack of knowledge makes you overconfident. A bit like watching professional sport on TV and thinking "I could do that too".

[@milesofwhite]

Thanks for including the metric system conversions, very helpful as often see KZbinrs with mostly miles and to roughly convert it but not always sure

[@flobergruns]

of course! thanks for watching!!

[@flobergruns]

Ha! Amazing!

[@LuNa4Death]

It's Wednesday muh dudes 🎉 I get so much flack from my friends but I highly recommend doing yoga or pilates. It is exactly what you described on being foundational, it helped me out with my slightly uneven gait. Thanks again for the weekly vlogs, it seriously makes the weekday runs more motivating.

[@flobergruns]

My wife is always trying to get me on the yoga train, and I know it would be so good for me. I just don't have any more time in my days to do more hahaha

[@evenhagerupgulliksen9985]

Everytime I've watched a Floberg or a Russ Cook video, it has motivated me to go for a run. Because of creators in the running space, I've signed up to my first half marathon in may. I can't honestly thank you enough Eric for being a huge part of making me want to better my life.

[@flobergruns]

Oh wow. Amazing to hear!! Go crush it at your race!!!

See you there!!

Good call carrying a bottle for the race. You can add zero calorie electrolyte to your carb mix if you arent doing it already. Evan and Cole will be carrying bottles at ventura. Another fantastic video, Eric!

[@koks39.]

Amazing progress since your sub 3 marathon. I would say. Don’t overthink strenght training. A lot of different ways to get results there, but you’re doing functional stuff right now. I you want to feel stronger after marathon prep simple bodyweight exercises like dips, pull ups and bodyweight squats can do the trick (at least for me). Also easy to do besides marathon running. Will follow your journey! 👍🏻💪🏻

Man, 1 minute recovery seems very short for 10x800m at "Yasso pace". Strong work keeping those reps under 2:40

Great video again mate. Couple question - when you’re running the 800’s do you run them to the actual track or program them on the watch, I know sometimes the watch can be out. Keep up the good work

I just keep track on my own. 800s are super easy to track (no pun intended) - just two laps

I wonder if the temperature effect the Cloud Monsters responsiveness. Maybe the cold causing it to react that way?

Don't you think the out lane is faster than the in lane? When you curve on the inside lane you need to break more than on the outside one? See you in Boston on the start line :)...

[@flobergruns]

May be, but then two laps in any lane outside of the first will be more than 800m, so you'd have to know exactly where to stop depending on which lane you're running in.

The most accurate comment yet

Instead of delaying the lifting until after the marathon you could just do very light weight now to get your body used to it.

[@flobergruns]

For sure

[@SuperAaron99]

Just go to the bathroom man jeez. I’d rather lose 30 seconds than 💩 my pants near the end. We’re all just running for fun at the end of day, even pros that are fighting for top 10s stop to use it. And it’s way more painful and distracting to hold it in.

[@flobergruns]

True. I didn't have to go that badly on this run, but I know when I can't hold it anymore.

[@bosox1640]

Just my humble opinion….but unless you’re competing for some kind of deadlift competition. The risk reward for doing deadlifts is not there. That goes for pretty much every sport not just runners.

[@flobergruns]

hmm interesting

I am just a little north of you in WI. Full winter gear on Saturday and shorts today. What do you think causes your ankle niggle?

[@bosox1640]

@@flobergruns Everyone is different and probably have different views. I was a big 10 xc/track guy, and was recruited for baseball, we did strength training but never deadlifts. After school I got really into lifting, I see why people like them, but personally I don’t see a huge gain from them as far as athletes go.
