PAULA'S FIRST RUN WORKOUT OF 2022 - Tempo Run + QOM

Hey everyone! We're Eric Lagerstrom and Paula Findlay!
www.thattriathlonlife.com
We're both professional triathletes and this week Paula is back to doing run workouts for the first time in almost a year! She's had a persistent ankle injury that has severely limited her mileage and completely limited her intensity on the run. The run workout was as follows: 20 minute warmup, 30 minute tempo, targeting 3:50/km, 20 minute cruise to finish. Paula went after a QOM here in Bend, Oregon, held by ex-professional runner Lauren Fleishman. Check it out to see if she got it

Liked the video style. I’d really like to hear what Paulo has to say about the run 😂 In fact a video chatting with Paulo would be interesting to see, or on the podcast I guess?

[@NickGoldston]

Watching paula run fast gets me so freakin fired up. Loved this one.

[@Jessieee11]

Crushing 3:50’s up a trail hill has my insides hurting, so flipping cool. Such a cool look into the lifestyle, your support of each other is also really amazing thing to witness

[@ryanking1460]

[@jeremyw4858]

Thanks folks enjoyed that! Smooth :)

[@darit86]

I'm so happy for Paula to be running again! And this video again is really making the workout look like so much fun! The combination of music and pictures is awesome and carries the vibe perfectly.

[@nathanw.5367]

Yup - dig this style man!

[@donp2366]

Great video like the new style

[@Jono01]

I love the “raw” style! 👍

The new video style is the way to go. Way to go Paula on the QOM!

[@dannybarron8016]

Diggin it!

[@markscholey2101]

Digging the early season leg ripping session!

[@RacingPille]

Video style is just on Point. Motivating to hear just the nature noise while the run.

[@catchpole11]

The tshirt Paula runs in is very nice! Love the style.

[@SB-vs2xi]

Loved the raw style :)

[@Nils_m9]

I loved the cooking part of the video :)

[@robbo3132]

awesome vibein your videos, you just know how to do it! Sometimes its easy to forget that you are not shooting as full time job (or with gimble) because your videos are so on point! I mean check the moods, color grading, shots, music, edit..... you are so talented man!

[@1519Spring]

I like the video style this week.

[@peterv3198]

I wish there was a button in KZbin to mute background music so we could please both crowds. Awesome run!

[@carlosandresgonzalezramire9264]

Love it! More of these please :) Love from Peru

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Will do! 🙏

[@qurtix]

Loved the format, thank you both for the weekly upload! Also, try to avoid the Endorphin Shift - they are a terrible shoe 😉

[@mateusbittencourtmendes2684]

That sweatelite style is awesome!!

[@establishment6959]

Vlog was aesthetic Eric! Greetings from germany

[@nicholasthomas1987]

Great format and if its less stress for you guys, no brainer....

[@maxwellryan9563]

LOVED this style of video! The running shots were on point

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Awesome! Thanks for letting me know!

[@brianfreeman7468]

I love every aspect of TTL! Keep it real and keep it cool and I will keep liking the content.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thanks so much, Brian. Will do 👍

[@sophiaetienne4393]

Love the TTL videos! Such a great way to get pumped to get out and train. Would love to know where Paula's running shades are from!

[@maureenjohnson6671]

That opening song :)

[@jasonbroadbelt6369]

Great job by Paula on that QOM..killer pace for that elevation..i have the Saucony endorphin pro 2 and speed 2 shoes. They are great shoes.

[@olithetiger]

Diggin it

[@theurbanalgorithm]

Liked it !!! 👍👍👍

[@skshain]

Loved the video format. I wear the Saucony Endorphins and love them....shift is too heavy.

[@astridruns1]

Do you! We want you both want to excel and appreciate you inviting us along for the journey :)

[@FunkyFaulc]

I have a pair of Saucony Shifts for easy days and honestly, I don't love them for those ... but they keep me from going too fast. I love the Endorphin Speeds for daily runs and the Pros for Tempo / Racing! Good luck on the upcoming races and glad you are staying injury-free.

[@runforestruntv]

Best video yet. The music had me bopping. Great to see Paula getting past her injury and running so well. The scenery and run trails look amazing. Keep up the great work mate.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thank you sir, will do 👍

[@joeskipper91]

I really liked this video. I thought it was one of your best ones. The gimbal and camera you use really makes it look awesome.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thanks Joe, appreciate that, man!

[@markmcfadden7428]

Love seeing your training. Inspires me when sitting on my bike on the bike trainer turning the pedals.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

we're all just looking for something to watch on the trainer 😂

[@vsrugby]

Nice work on that QOM Paula 🚀 Hoodie ordered 🥳, loved the colour of the walls in the shower clip, raw Style was epic.🎥💡

[@SandraRingelstein]

Raw yes!👍

[@ccuellar6212]

My kind my gal.

[@atrookie1]

Eric you pick the BEST music. Love the videos. Great job Paula.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Nice, stoked to hear that! Thanks Randy

[@toddkearney6464]

I enjoyed the video format. For me, the song choices were the best. The run songs got me through a hard bike interval session this morning on the trainer. It is great to see Paula running healthy!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Music always a priority for us :) Can't get the ski film feel out of my brain

[@garybiffin7002]

So quick

[@ashleynolan580]

Dig it!

[@tylerfox9663]

Perfect format. Just the right length to get some stretching/mobility in!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Killer, thanks for the feedback 🙏

[@donnacunnin2018]

Nice run Queenie

[@medicalerrorinterviewspodc4294]

"Diggin it"

[@laurentlandry9732]

Lovedddd the style of the video, everything you make is interesting to me though 😅

[@tiffanybrantley7039]

Super enjoyed the raw style-I love to watch Paula run (even though, if I remember correctly, Paula doesn't think highly of her run form!) Felt a little kinship as Asics and Saucony are my go-to shoes as well!!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

We're all our harshest critics, right? :)

[@eitanshushu]

great vid. food looks tasty. inwouldnt switch around so many shoes. stick to the ones that fits the most.

[@Terrilyn_Austen]

Great video!! Watch out out Talbot! Curious where do you get one of those stand/foot mobility thing Paula uses?

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

That's called a mobo board and you can find them on the Mobo board website 👍 They're the creation of a nationally renowned, but local PT here in Bend

[@sthi3396]

Raw style perfectly works for me. Super edited is also fine. Maybe a mix throughout the year would be best of both worlds? Would love it!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Sometimes I like getting fancy, sometimes (with a workout) you just need to let the session do the talking. We'll have both :)

[@sthi3396]

@@ThatTriathlonLife 👍

[@benrobbins5480]

A full “raw” day would be very interesting. I always wonder what the hardest parts of the day are for y’all. Those moment where putting the work in is very difficult.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Stoked to hear that! Thanks man

[@davidhelms6653]

Baller vid as always. The opening song sounds like someone singing who doesn’t know the words 🤣

[@bretgreenfield1511]

So one reason I like the hoodie so much, I live in a shuttle bus, however it is to small for the hawii ironman team, so I am building a crown 38ft bus, and the color, same as hoodie, then a wood strip, and off white on the top, just like the hoodie:) thanks really into hoodies, as I aways have the hood up, I do not no why, but feels right, or good, or like I have done it before, maybe another life, but what ever it is, I like the hood up:)

[@WayneWBishop]

Another great video! It would be interesting to get you all’s perspective on that Wahoo triathlon watch. Is it effective and how does it stack up against Garmin and Polar? Thanks.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Hey Wayne! We really appreciate the simplicity of the Wahoo. It's pretty stripped down to features that you want as an athlete, and as a result, we've never had a single issue with ours. They're super easy to change data fields, even while training, and it's nice to know it's not going to need a hard reset ever. We've only swam with them a couple times just for testing, and the lap swim function seemed to work great, but I don't have daily experience with that to relay to you.

[@Sub_Cruce_Candida]

Smashes a QOM by 2mins "That's great", love the understatement!

[@MarceloG..]

Wow Paula... super fast for a first run. Love this style Eric, but I also love when you get all fancy... win win for us either one you decide to do.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

I'll keep it all in the mix :) This is great for workouts and certain days, but my creative side loves going crazy with the shots sometimes

[@peterwilson9330]

What’s the little wooden balance board at 6min to help with specifically?

[@franckykiter]

Bonjour, où vous vous entrainez ? le paysage est superbe. C'est un beau terrain de jeu ;)

[@theprimemethod]

What pair of Saucony’s was Paula using?

[@damu6678]

I prefer your usual cinematography

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

It's not going anywhere. I'm always adapting and playing with new things creatively, which keeps it fun and fresh week in and week out 👍 Thanks for the feedback, much appreciated!

[@damu6678]

@@ThatTriathlonLife Glad to hear that! I appreciate you keeping it fresh. One thing I'd like to see you do is some challenging training with other top athletes, and talking to them about their training and triathlon experiences

[@torinmcfarland9537]

do you count calories, or how do you balance...eating enough without getting outside a raceweight range?

[@jedielnunes1328]

Would love to see just raw footage of a run workout without the music like sweat elite does it. I think it would be cool to see but great video nonetheless. Cool to see Paula is back hitting tempo's again. Saucony endorphin speeds are definitely a better shoe for that type of run than the triumphs. Edit: I totally wrote this comment before Paula mentioned it after the run that's so funny haha

[@ainelehane7700]

Great video! How many miles did Flynn do during fetch? Also Paula, really like the T-shirt you’re wearing during the run. Where’s it from?

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Flynn usually does about a mile during a fetch, maybe 1.5 if it's a long session 😂 Paula's shirt is Lulu

[@billtalleyrealestate2966]

Live pace was good! Question for Flynn. How much slobber is the right amount?

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Slobber directly correlates to how much fun you're having

[@triholl]

Diggin it! You're going to tear up all the QOM's & KOM's, then what? Haha!! Royalty has come to Bend and will reign supreme!!

[@0cerealism]

It'd be funny some time to do the 'splits' on the cooking section.

[@-g-l-i-m-p-s-e-]

that is Endorphin Shift, it is for easy runs...you would be much faster in Endorphin Speed or Pro...under 4/k in an easy day shoe...that is very good!!!

[@heredianos]

Well I don't know Paula, but the Speed or Pro are not really stable, I prefer the Shift for ankle support

[@JohnDoe-sw9zq]

Couples Tri heads up: Tighten up every bolt on your bike and let some air out of those tires. Ft. Desoto is far from smooth but a very pretty place to race.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

80psi FTW, thanks for the tip 🙏

[@Potts147]

Watching Ted King? You guys gotta do a gravel race this summer!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

I actually rode in the Vermont Overland “with” Ted back in 2016 👌 but definitely getting more gravel on the schedule this year

[@scheherazadehaque]

What is the opening music? Is it a Nick Goldston original?

[@scheherazadehaque]

Also, big fan of the raw style. It adds to your authenticity.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

It's called "A man Aman", and unfortunately isn't a Nick Original haha

[@cdnnurse01]

Great video, loved the scenery & hoodie BUT, if that was Eric singing in the beginning maybe some singing lessons, lol just joking.

[@shawnozbun]

I prefer videos like this. More raw training 💪

[@ifonly4486]

you''ve got he wrong shoes paula !! the endorphin shift are heavy slow run shoes the endorphin speed are the ones to get for these kind of efforts

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

I'll just chime in here in case she doesn't see this :) She is still trying to strike a balance between shoes that feel fast and similar to race shoes and shoes that she's confident won't get her injured. Staying healthy is #1 priority!

[@ccuellar6212]

I find a few double IPA’s the most refreshing drink after an endurance run.

[@emilymortensen1606]

I will never stop asking: where are your shorts from, Paula

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

😂 I'm going to go out on a limb and say Lulu. If it's not TTL, it's Lulu in Paula's closet

[@emilymortensen1606]

@@ThatTriathlonLife I think it is Lulu! I dug around for about 2 hours trying to figure it out. I did countless reserve image searches and found nothing. Then I noticed that Paula tends to tag Zoot when she wears it. Well, the shorts are never tagged so that eliminated Zoot. I eventually found a lulu pair very very similar, so my bet is also on them being lulu.
