HOW TO TRAIN LIKE THE INGEBRIGTSENS: WHY THEY RUN DOUBLE THRESHOLD DAYS. 

One of your best videos I've seen. Really liked the theme. Great combination of entertainment (very funny intro), along with education - clearly and accessibly explained while still including the specifics and scientific details (HR/lactate). Fantastic balance of very serious training while having fun and not taking yourself too seriously!

Twice per day running has been proven to increase mitochondrial efficiency. This is true even when compared to training in a glycogen depleted state once per day. So there is something special about twice a day training. Thanks for this video.

Having to watch this on mute as my wife is WFH, enjoying the automated captions ‘the anger britsons’ and ‘ingar Britain’s’ 😂 Looking like a great vid and really must rewatch later. Really pleased we came across both of your channels, really makes a change to encounter a very natural couple on socials, informative, friendly and inspirational. 👍

Hi Matt - very nice video. I use the lactate pro 2 and have taken (it seems like) hundreds of samples and technique is key. Ear lobe sampling is much better (a small mirror is needed if doing it yourself). If sampling from finger, use index, middle or ring finger, over the mid to outer aspect. Key issue is skin/hand temperature - in cold weather circulation is relatively poor and readings will be high. Unless it’s a fairly warm day, as a minimum you need to wear gloves. Indoors, if you have a fan/door open to the garage, skin surface can be surprisingly cool and again sampling not very reliable. Also - when you stab yourself, wipe away the first bleed with tissue, allow further small bleed then apply the monitor stick. I also tend to avoid arm/hand with watch/heart rate monitor attached just in case it is slightly tight and slows venous return. Main advice - Ear lobe works best. Hope that helps.

Brilliant intro 😂 I know we talked about it today but this just proved you’re in scarily good shape, this was an absolutely A* video mate 👏

It's either edutainment or entercational 😄 Either way, another cracking video. Your pace on the treadmill was epic.

How could someone dislike this? Amazing video Matt! Loved every second

Loved this. Even my non-running teenager stopped looking at his phone and watched through to the end with me. Engaging and entertaining👍

That's a nice lake loop mate! Surprised there was only one other 'runner' 😏 Would relish an interval workout around that nice backdrop. Funny video especially your girl's laughter! 😄 'double threshold' is just a glorified term for two hard training sessions😆 love the UK, hit up Bristol and Cardiff a few years ago, just right ;-)

What an awesome video Matt, love the insight on their training and showing us yourself too. It just goes to show how far but how careful elite athletes have to be, trying to push themselves to the exact limit but no further. Would be nice to have time for an afternoon nap every day wouldn't it!

best vid so far ive found to break down their training and supplied the resources i was after too, legend!

thanks Matt for this video it was very funny and very interested. I love your approch of the running! Fun and performance! Thanks for Kelly for filming. Thanks to show us things to perform

Absolutely banging content Matt! Entertaining, and loved the training insight

Enjoyed the video and insight into how and what the experts do. So thanks for taking the time to create and publish. One thing I would add, perhaps for consideration for future subject matter, is the subject of rest and recovery. As runners we tend to seek out that killer workout which is going to take us to the next level but neglect what we should be doing on easy/recovery days. There are plenty of vlogs out there indicating how fast to do this or how many reps at x pace. In this video clearly there is total focus on how they should perform when undertaking the intense sessions, so I’m guessing equal discipline is applied to rest and recovery/easy runs. I think it would helpful therefore, to understand this aspect more, particularly how do their easy runs relate, in terms of pace/hr/distance to the faster activities. Indeed gaining an insight into how you perform these sessions would also be of interest.

Fantastic video, with some practical insight. As a vet runner this really appeals as tendency for injury from over training is high. Not expecting super gains at my age but definitely will be trying to adapt some of this into my training. Thanks again for detailed video.

Wow, that was a great content, both running wise and fun wise. You nailed it, mate. Never heard about the athletes so it was good knowing their training sessions. Looking forward to your Wrexham run. Liam McIntyre, Ben Parkes and you all racing against each other 😮 ! 💪💪 P.s: Sorry but is your left eye ok, mate? It looked heavy in the last section of this video. Cheers and Good Luck 🙏

Really enjoyed that. Been waiting for a new video and have been watching the Ingerbritsens too so it was a perfect combo!.

You are a lovely running nerd. I greatly enjoy your channel and content. Thank you

Unbelievable content, very inspiring. The intro was hilarious.

Rachel Warren said it all in her comment, excellent video, fun interesting & educational, can’t wait to see you smash a new Pb half & full marathon, 👊🏼🌳🍀🌴☘️🌲👍😀

These vids are getting better and better, Matt. Really great stuff. I’m also just jealous your body can actually do this whereas if I try one threshold session my body turns to flubber 😂

Your style is perfect ! Many greetings from Germany.

I am a data nerd, loved the video you just went to a new level with those lactate measurements. No idea how some ppl dont use hr strap when its a really cheap option to track your training efforts.

Great work 👍

Really like the "going the extra mile" with the makeover. :D:D

i’ve got a lactate pro 2 and also did sports science at uni so have had a bit of experince with it and i think its surprising how slow you have to go to keep the lactate under threshold. I think looking at how the heart rate was creeping up in your reps you were probably over lacate threshold. Also i would suggst doing a ramp test to really define your lactate turn point as this could be higher than 4, for example mine is aroud 5mmol.

Great work and really interesting, running is a science! Love watching them run, bring on the Olympics!

Manshallah Matt well done

Refreshing perspective!😂👍

Brilliant video! The intro really cracked me up and if other viewers laughed as much as I did, then growing the tache was totally worth it! Will you be shaving it off now? I got the impression that Kelly rather liked it!! The rest of the video was really informative and enjoyable. I can't imagine doing doubles yet let alone double workouts, but it's good to know the levels of training you can aim for as long as it's built up to gradually and planned carefully and strategically. You really clearly explained the logic of the workouts as part of an overall plan as well as emphasising the importance of control and not overcooking it. Fantastic stuff!

That was brilliant, subscribed!! I think you could do a follow up on threshold training, would be really interested to see it. Cheers, all the best for Wrexham

Cracking video mate and those brothers are special runners.

Really enjoying your journey and the boost it gives me for my training.

Brilliant video as per . Keep up the good work

The Anger Briston's (how they'll henceforth be known) training is very reminiscent of Chris Boardman's, clever & very methodical. I remember seeing a doc about the hour record where he talks about finger pricking after intervals being the best way to measure lactate but too much of a pain! It's worth remembering they are all middle distance runners and while they're very good at cross country, not that unusual at 8 to 10km XC for good milers, I think they'd have to strip back those recoveries and bump up the long runs to excel at 10km and above. You can bet your bottom dollar Joshua cheptegei ain't stopping after 80mins of a long run.

Wow great video and great sessions. Thank you for sharing.

Great video Matt ;)

Just fab 👏🏻 Laughing while I was learning.

Great video Matt, fun and informative, hope you are going to keep the moustache!

They are quite a family!

Really enjoyed this.

Epic video, solid days work! Interesting to note their longer run is only 20k. See you at Wrexham ;)

LOL! LOVED this video! A true runner with the stash. Haha I wish I had time to do doubles (no every day, but once or twice a week). Actually, I was just thinking of that this morning!

Great vid!!

All in! That means speed suit around the lake.

Loved this Matt 👌

Totally brill..gogglebox next for you two!!!

I’m doing a video just like this!! It’s currently in the editing phase. I did 5x6 min off 60s rest like you in the am, but 20x400m off 30s rest in the pm😀 mental to think they do that every week twice a week🤯

The Reason why they do so much threshold pace is, that they have already a "perfect" VO2max so they don´t need to work on that. They just want to be more efficient at threshold pace.

That look your wife has cutting your hair is the exact same devious look my wife has when cutting mine.

Gleaming videos mate, you've gained another 2 subscribers (me and the wife). We're wanting to buy a treadmill could you suggest a handful of them please as we wouldn't have a who and what to listen to (adverts can seem too good to be true) a treadmill that is smart and feels good on foot? Probably no more than 1.5k to go along nicely with our wattbike. Thanks in advance buddy!!

Great video Matt. Subscribed! Curious to know what your Watts and % of CP were during the first session around the lake. Keep up the good work.

Your mention of chemistry labs brought back some bad memories lol. I'm interested in the lactate monitor but you didn't really sell it. Thoughts?

Great video

Very interesting training. The 3 minute pieces seem like CV pace Tinman elite do. I've always found workouts at just faster than LT or LT really works. Probably a lot less chance of getting hurt.

Really enjoyed this video, it's very interesting. Although only at small levels, when we did the aerobic work towards end of last year combined with sub threshold work, I felt so good and fit & really enjoyed training. Geoff says he dares me to ask for a double threshold day - not happening! 🤣 The hill training is intriguing, what do you see the reason as for the way the brothers doing it in the they do?

Mate how would you compare the Lactate pro2 to the Edge device? And any thoughts on the Lactate Scout 4 or Lactate Plus? Off course The Edge is much cheaper but it also comes with a 5yr warranty compared to the Lactate Pro2 which only has a 1 year warranty...... Cheers

2:01. Henrick, is that you?😂

Usually is difficult to monitoring our effort with a lactometer in the middle of a hard workout this is better to know our evolution trhough a marathon complete cicle of train, two threshold workout in the same day is very hard for most people i try to run in one week 😁

Great video with very informative content, thanks! One question, where did you buy that lactate meter?

Good effort... one thing. I think you are doing the recovery of those 6' reps too short. They are more resting 2' between reps. Check Goran Wimblad's video (swedish guy living in Norway). I have also read their second sesh of the day can also be 20x400 (30" off) at around their 8k effort.

Hi Matt love your channel and it’s helping me so much with my running. Do you ever get sore hips the last week my hips have started hurting when I run and it’s effecting my runs. Thanks

Bloody legend I tells ya! 😂 It's a great look for you to be fair!

Half way in, I have heard you mention "control the effort" 6 times!!!

In which zone are they doing their hill repeats? In treshold? Nice Video!

Quality video mate. Are these lactate testers worth it for the amateur runner, they very expensive!!

Great content “I’ll show her”🤣

😂😂😂😂 you now have the mustache, just add a litle more speed! 😄

Where did you watch the episodes with subs? I can only find season 1 and a few more of each season, but not all of them

Nice! What’s your HR training zones? Curious because we both seem to have high training HR.

As a more intermediate runner would you recommend 4 x 4. So 4min threshold and 3min recovery. Are these still an effective way to improve say twice a week? Thanks

Did 5x6:00 in am at about 3:31 per km, and 8x1k in pm at about 3:24km. Neither took too much out of me. Great sessions. How much does lactate kit cost?

Was that heart rate monitor the Garmin HRM-Run? If it was, how is it? I'm debating whether it not I should buy it (I don't have a heart rate monitor yet).

Having high values even at rest, maybe a device issue... Did your device measure correctly after?

So Matt if i train at threshhold 8x6 mins - is that 80 % of my top speed or what is t ?i don t really understand. Any way you are a beast you up there with the elites

So cool. Is recovery jogging or standing

Matt can you have a look at some of the links you added. They aren't working.

How long are you supposed to be able to hold threshold for?? Is it like half marathon pacing or shorter??

The glasses 🤣

Are you wiping away the first bit of blood? It's important to do this

What watch you are wearing

pretty nutty that they "monitor" you close enough to know if you've gone out for two workouts in a day... i would wear a disguise lol

21km/h threshold 😲

Harry is super 😍cute

🤣🤣🤣 love the intro

1st and looks like u did 6 accidentally 😂

We have far better 5k runners who are in the UK.

Talk about bamboozling your audience. Most of your subs don’t even own a HR monitor. Remember most people follow you because you helped a guy finish a race not because they want to know what your lactate level . Keep it simple .
