Hard not to be a Reed Fisher fan.

[@jasonbernstein2]

You would have to be a truly sick f*ck not to be a Reed Fisher fan.

The GOAT

🥰🥰

[@HeyitsGabeagain]

Very very hard.

[@jazzyjay4595]

Talent can be the ability to handle mileage like Reed, not just being fast without putting in as much work. Perspective.

[@reedfischer1894]

Very true! I feel like talent is often viewed as raw speed or ability, but I’ve always said that my biggest talent is durability.

[@jazzyjay4595]

@@reedfischer1894 I’ve always despised that philosophy that guys who can run fast off of lower mileage are more talented. Drew summed it up in his own statements though. His body wouldn’t be able to handle the work involved with marathon training. So drew may be a talented mid distance runner (1500-5k/10k) but he doesn’t have those natural abilities to make it 26.2. At least, not at the moment while his body is still maturing.

[@RoyRosas]

The Reed marathon training vids have been some of my fav content you guys have been putting out lately. Love seeing the rest of the team grind out some reps with Reed as well. I’ll be cheering for Reed come Boston and can’t wait for the race recap video afterwards

Lol freaki 10 miles 🤣 and I do 1k

[@teghsingh1265]

This is all the justification I need to start eating Pop Tarts again.

[@jeromeyourhome]

Trust in your training Reed, I really think you’ll surprise yourself out here in Boston… Beware the first 4 miles though, they will come for your quads it’s so so drastically downhill the whole time. I’ll be there screaming for you when it gets really tough around 22… you got this shit brotha 🤟⚒️

[@reedfischer1894]

Cheers! See you after the hills ⚒️

[@radrunning8535]

Great work. Keep it up. Your training is going well

[@davidstol2792]

Why does Drew view Reed as the least talented and who would he say is the most talented on the team? Brogan maybe? I know it wasn’t meant as an insult at all but just curious for some insight - I feel like durability is one of the most valuable talents for a distance guy

Is vocal fry a key part of being a great marathoner?

[@tm9184]

Dude is a stud.

[@wesleyferguson140]

How does Reed keep his body from breaking down from the massive amount of strain put on him by such high mileage? It seems like he gets very little rest between workouts, doubles, and weights.

[@jazzyjay4595]

The same way every elite marathoner has been for decades? He’s not the first guy to run this kind of mileage. Cam Levins used to run over 180 miles each week with 3 runs per day

[@wesleyferguson140]

@@jazzyjay4595 bruh I just wanted tinman to reply... and with the way Cam Levins trains its a wonder he has not burnt out after his injury. 3 runs per day is pretty suicidal.

[@jazzyjay4595]

@@wesleyferguson140 step 1: proper refueling. Step 2: sleep more. The rest of everything that people do to recover is subjective and doesn’t work for everyone or doesn’t hold up to real studies. Unless it’s sauna, that works too but not everyone has access to that.

Would reed drink/eat anything in the car after the workout before the meal?

[@reedfischer1894]

Yep, I had a Promix protein bar, recovery shake, and just some plain water on the drive back into Boulder.

[@Патриот-и6б]

What is your bodyweight brother

[@johngutierrez9607]

What’s Reed hydration strategy? And what advice do you give a marathoner who doesn’t have access to bottles during a race and has to Rely on carting own gels etc etc ?

[@Paul-M21]

Keen to know about this as well!

[@reedfischer1894]

You can see a glimpse of this in the beginning of the video-I take about 150ml of Skratch Superfuel every 5K during the race, which is equal to about 300 calories/hour. I practice that routine about 3-5 times during long runs in the build to make sure everything sits well. For those without bottle service, I recommend seeing what the race will have on course. If it’s a reputable brand that you can try in training and you find it works for you, then you (in theory) won’t have to worry about carrying your fuel. If it doesn’t work for you, try a few different gels and drinks from different brands and find the one that sits best and go for that. Then find a good pair of shorts/half tights with plenty of pockets, and go race hard! Toss in an extra gel if you have room as an insurance policy for good measure.

[@kylekermgard]

Pop tarts and frozen pizza have fueled some of my long runs too

[@burnsidebrendan]

How long does a run need to be for you to fuel? Like at what point in distance does it really become a requirement?

[@johnreeves3876]

I've heard around 19-21 miles everyone will have used all their glycogen stores without fueling at all.

[@user-22858]

Question for reed is everyone able to achieve this level of running? Does he train a hole year with no weeks off or breaks from running?am 20 and training for a sub 60 ten miler, if I stick with running 50-70 mi weeks one day off plus workouts ect u think it’s possible to run 5:20s for 10 plus miles, I see u guys run these incredible paces am wondering if you guys at some point were running 6 flat and that be considered hard running for you?

[@reedfischer1894]

Hey Ethan-the fun part of running and training is seeing the progress and surprising yourself. I can’t promise that you’ll hit every goal you set for yourself, but if you train smart, recover well, and race hard you’re setting yourself up to succeed. Be patient and let your body become used to increasing mileage and intensity gradually. When I first started running, I took 2-3 days off each week. Now I take 2-3 days off each year. It’s been a 12 year journey to reach this level for me, so don’t feel rushed!

[@ottowotto1]

Your goal of sub 60 10 miler is definitely a possibility. Keep hitting your mileage for the week and make sure to stay consistent, because that’s the key to improving. I dont know what kind of shape you are in now but i think you could reach your goal in no time.

[@bryceherring946]

Good video content and cool channel but as a former runner who has transitioned over to primarily focusing on strength and muscle building excerciaes and dropped a good amount of cardio, I cant help but notice and point out that in this training video, he is basically fueling himself on carbs and sugar and then it's more carbohydrates, also he looks very frail and weak simply because all those endless miles of hitting the pavement is catabolic to the body, which also leaves someone very injury prone, I understand that for these guys to do what they do they have to do this but from a dietary perspective and overall health and fitness, gone are the days of assuming constant feeds and fueling of carbs and sugar and excessive mileage on the body really does alot of harm, focus today should be much more on strength and adaptability vs endless miles, again for someone who is a professional athlete, he sure looks frail and weak, and that's not by any means meant to be negative or critical, I'm just posting about current running and ultra distance culture. I've followed Mark Sisson and Brad Kearns for many years and these two guys are at the forefront of running, diet and their journey as former distance runners.

[@Kelly_Ben]

I'm sorry you're not well. Can you walk/jog one? Crossing that finish line is what it's all about!

[@valeenoi2284]

@@Kelly_Ben Ya, that's what I do. I walk a little bit, run for 1/5 of mile, stop, then do that twice, do my bigger run (1/4 of mile), stop, then do another 1/5 of mile. I'm done after that. Nothing left in my gas tank. I can do this 5 times a week for years and year and years, and still won't be able to run more than 1/4 of mile. I used to be able to do max 1 mile 20 years back, but even then, I would run out of breath. It's like being forced under water for 2 minutes then coming back up, gasping for air. Eyes rolling back, can't hear much. It exerts a lot of pressure on my body. But I do it every single time. Most people would psychologically give up after a week, but I just do it for whatever reason. That's all I got.
