Those who have read all his books and seen his previous talks will know that he states on many an occasion that he is uncomfortable in front of a crowd or audience, and it is always visible. He talks about himself as that is what people are there to see and hear, that is his forte and all he has achieved is his story, and his achievements are his examples of his best self via his performances. It is a story of inspiration to those who have the bottle and determination to try. To criticize him for allegedly bragging and telling of his best achievements is ridiculous. If he just shrugged of his achievements and didn't give them the credit they deserve he would come across as arrogant. He is talking about his best self, he found his best self achieving all he talks about here. That is an example of how it can be done. It is up to you to try and achieve your best. He cannot tell each individual how to better their self, we are all different, there is no one for all answer. The talk title is also likely predetermined by Ted ex talks themselves. The title on the screen in the background is 'Our best' 'Our self'.

I have been a long distance trail runner for a long time. I only run on trails. I only run in the woods. My longest run was The Stump Jump, in Tennessee. The most, that I have run is 85 miles in 1 week. I took a day off in 2012., day before Christmas. The next day was catastrophic. My body, punished me for taking a day off! I blew out my left ankle, then my left groin, then my right quad muscle, after 4 weeks..
@jeffreybrignac18006 жыл бұрын
Is this supposed to be impressive? I've seen some dedicated High School XC runners get close to 85 miles a week training for a 5k. And I know for a fact many Collegiate runners run 85+ miles a week training for 8k and 10k. If you are implying that you have been running consecutively and only took a day off for Christmas eve then your body is not "punishing" you for taking a day off. Your body was "punishing" you for not taking enough days off. Distance runners need at least a day off per or at least bi-weekly or else injuries, such as yours, will be likely to occur. And I do not understand how you can have 3 injuries such as those due to running/taking that one day off, when only one of those injuries would have not allowed you to run for several weeks after.

All the videos on Dean Karnasez are 5/6 years old. I'm going to ask my question anyway. Maybe someone will provide me with the answer. Karnasez' body doesn't produce lactic acid. Therefore his muscles never feel pain from exertion and never grow tired Long-distance runners pace themselves. They know that if they go all out right away they won't have the stamina to win, so they run at a moderate pace and sprint at the end (if there are other runners close to them who might take first place). It seems to me that all Karnasez would have to do is set a very fast pace right from the beginning that would be sure to build up lactic acid in his competitors muscles and since he doesn't suffer from lactic acid buildup he would easily win every time. So, why doesn't he do that??
