Cam Wurf's 5 Pro Running Tips | How To Progress Your Running

[@walterwaltersen]

Thanks Cam Wurf for sharing these insightful tips. One of the best Pro interviews on the channel so far.

[@paulsolon6229]

Helpful. Thank you Is he not missing a big piece? He’s not doing hill repeats of approx 1:45 No. Post training, don’t eat sugar. Mistake. Take protein then

[@peterh.1521]

Cam has a clear Australian English language, always nice to listen to. 🇦🇺

[@Maverick5588]

Longer videos with cam please. He is great

[@Trenpy]

I have been doing triathlon for a few years and this has been very helpful. I always thought I had to do my intervals as hard as possible (I was basically doing them at the same speed as Wurf while I am nowhere as fast as him, lead to an injury... no surprise.), that was a good takeaway. Thanks!

Oh wow I am so grateful thanks Cam and GTN for such a great video! It confirms what I've been thinking for a long time but goes even further! I was always reluctant to do VO2Max type of efforts on the run because of the recovery needed afterwards and I've done my biggest breakthroughs by doing more threshold type of workouts (tempo runs, mile repeats). That Cam doesn't do any and still is able to run a 2:45 marathon is remarkable! I assumed VO2Max would still improve running economy, but something you could also earn with hill reps which spare your joints a little bit better than that. Definitely food for thoughts thanks!

Great tips from Cam as always, looking forward for cycling and swimming tips as well from Cam

[@Andrew-qo4cq]

Surprisingly good info.

[@barryfield9300]

Great interview, thanks Mark & GTN! This guy's insight into how to improve running for IM training is worth noting. If anyone can improve upon finihsing the 2019 Kona IM in 5th place it is Cam Wurth. It would be great to see him on the podium next year. One last thought, a healthy Jan Frodeno returning to the 2020 IM Kona would be hard to beat.

That’s the first video I’ve seen with so many upvotes and 0 downvotes!

[@georgeevangelos9086]

so true, take care of the body

[@TheHutch000]

Fantastic advise and who doesn't not the Wurf' man :)

[@nuerphil1]

So much better than getting tips from good runners! Thanks GTN!

[@georgeclooney1293]

but running is totally a different sport

Interesting about the shoe alternating. I’m always using multiple pairs of shoes, but one is a workhorse shoe. I’m going to try the every other day thing to see if it makes my shoes last longer. I’m at pretty much zero injuries so it wouldn’t help me be healthier.

[@paulrudd9609]

"You don't need to run fast. Not much quicker than 3.20- 3.30 pace"😂. Wow!!

[@sailingintosunshine]

that is really interesting, since 3'20-3'30 is roughly his threshold pace, what he seems to be saying is he doesn't care about high intensity training (in running) which is integral to building VO2max. Maybe he limits HIT to biking, where the body load isn't as high

[@georgerichard6946]

He mention 3:20-3:30min/km pace in regards to track workouts... which really isn't that fast especially for a professional endurance athlete.

[@leopers9225]

@@georgerichard6946 Exactly. Also he said thats specific to him.

[@georgeclooney1293]

@@sailingintosunshine that is what i was thinking! how can you improve your running withour HIT. as you said he does limits to biking, less stress on the body

[@wissamsoultan198]

great insight

[@wallyontheweb]

Cracking advice! Cheers guys 👍

[@Maverick5588]

Very interesting

[@jonathanzappala]

I would like to ask Cam, did he increase his PR marathon time ability, or did he only increase his marathon speed at the end of a triathlon? Maybe even he doesn’t know. I could see how it’s possible that he didn’t become a better runner, he just became a better one at the end of an Ironman.

[@DontTestTheX]

My two top tips: 1. Train on grass or softer ground. 2. Regular yoga (proper yoga like Iyengar, not the micky mouse stuff)

[@356z]

Is Cam sponsored by Nike? Hes got the most Nike gear Ive ever seen on a triathlete. I love Nike

[@louishill783]

Zach Martinez yeah, he’s with the same coach as kipchoge

I heard the run course in Italy was 41km - not sure if it’s true.

[@ime7371]

Luke Dragstra yeah think it was

[@truthfacts57]

Add 20 or 30 more years to your body and its super easy to hurt your body even more with running . Thats why you don't see many 70 yr triathlete's who run well . I plan on being one of the few who do .

[@Bayo106]

who still wants to be a triathlete at age 70 lol. They probably dont run well because it's easier on their body to cycle and swim at that age

[@georgeclooney1293]

@@Bayo106 exactly:) why still be a traithlete at thatbage, shpıld be max 55, 60

[@thewisi88]

running tipps from Cam? that's like cycling tipps from Kipchoge XD

[@irondoc1251]

thewisi88 😂😂😂 But he ran a 2:45- Marathon in IM Emilia Romana (maybe the course was to short?)

[@jimjamthebananaman1]

It’s the idea that he’s improved his running so dramtically coming from a rowing/cycling background. He’s not a natural runner like the brownlee brothers who have always been good runners

[@brettbale9535]

Move over Lionel.
