How I Trained For A Sub 80 Minute Half Marathon 

100% - Training age makes a huge impact 😄

@@hynekjanousek7887 Hi 😄 You are 100% right. I don’t recommend anyone to run with sickness. It can be very dangerous. This was a very important race to me in my hometown and I’ve been a professional triathlete for 10+ years and know my body extremely well, which is why I chose to run the race. It was not for the title of the video (I did not decide to race as a video idea, I just decided to document what I was doing anyway) It’s great you bring attention to it. I should have done a better job pointing that out in the video 👍

@@davidosolo Thank you so much for that comment. I forget that sometimes. I guess it comes from years of always trying to be the best 😄

@@NicklasRossnerPT Cheers mate! Keep those vids coming. Looking forward to them!

@@davidosolo Cheers 😄🙏

I was about to comment something very similar, so I just second this 👍

Especially the playlist thing, we need it!

Thanks man! And thank you for the questions. I’m gonna answer in reverse order 😄 3. 100%. I’m gonna be sharing a bunch more of specific training sessions and protocols in the next video, so look out for that. 2. I’ll make sure to incoorporate that and actually wanted to do it here. But for this race I was throwing up for 24 hours prior so I just ate whatever I could stomach. Mostly white bread and then a bit of oats. Because of the stomach flu I drank nothing but salt tablets mixed with water (Zero tabs) the entire day leading into the race, to try and get my fluid balance back to normal. And I probably drank close to 3L (not recommended). I know my body extremely well, so it helped me a lot. 60 minutes prior to the race I ate 30g of carbohydrate in an energy gel. I did not take caffeine (which I normally would) I will try to include more specifics about nutrition in future videos 😊 3. Gotta bunch of different playlists - Will probably share a whole bunch to my e-mail list soon. But for the past few weeks I’ve been obsessed about hip-hip playlists for some reason, so here is the one I’m using at the moment (not all songs hit exactly 180bpm, but they are between 170-190 - or they are half that - so if I double the tempo it’s 170-190) "'03 Bonnie & Clyde" Jay-Z with Beyoncé "Can I Get A... (Soundtrack Version)" Jay-Z with Amil and Ja Rule "Get Em High" Kanye West with Talib Kweli and Common "In da Club" 50 Cent "Definition" Black Star "Memory Lane (Sittin' In Da Park)" Nas "In the Summertime" Shaggy "Irreplaceable" Beyoncé "Lose Yourself" Eminem "Umbrella" Rihanna with Jay-Z "Ghetto Pop Life" Danger Mouse and Jemini The Gifted One "Karma" Alicia Keys "Passin' Me By" The Pharcyde "Break You Off" The Roots It’s possible to download software that makes every song 180bpm, that I’ve used in the past. But I feel like I need to listen to it the “normal” way to really enjoy it these days 😄 I hope that answers it all - if not feel free to reach out.

@@NicklasRossnerPT thanks for the detailed answer, appreciate it!

Thanks 😄 Yeah I really didn’t think I was gonna race and ended up just going to see if I could finish for my daughter. But somehow my body responded a lot better than I expected. There is no doubt that all those years training makes a huge impact - Which always makes me so amazed to see what the body is capable off. If you reach a certain level, that level is so much easier to get back to. Going beyond that however requires a bit more 😁

The time is hard for most people in 10 weeks 100%.. but hopefully that’s not the take-away of this video. At least that’s not my intend 😊 Hopefully the strategies, set-backs, motivation and lessons learned are the take-away.

Hi! @swaginfinite9165 is right that the most determinative factor is genetics (talent). But there is absolutely nothing we can do about that. Once we accept the envelope that we have been given and learn to be okay with that (for example by stopping comparing ourselves to others), then we can start to work on improving within that envelope. That is where the lessons, advice and tips from Nicklas Rossner may come in handy and might be just as applicable to @swaginfinite9165 and a lot of us as to @NicklasRossnerPT.

Tusind tak, Julie 😄

@@davidosolo 100%

Thanks man 😄😄

Thats awesome man! Unfortunately not right now, but I plan on releasing some in the future if people want it 😄

I have a tendency to do an inward rotation at my hip (on both sides). If you run optimally (from a biomechanical stand point) the hips should be in neutral position, so that I don't cross over my center line of gravity.

Thanks man! 100% a balancing act & ended up challenging me in a bunch of way I did not expect :)

Thanks 😄 It felt amazing tbh. Have already signed up for the next one.

@@heinrichh.6369 No, but heard a lot about them. Are they any good?

I had really good experience with them. They taste more "neutral" somehow, which makes it easier for me to get them down. They are however a little bit more on the expensive side, i must say.

@@heinrichh.6369 I’ll get a few and see how they feel 😄 Thanks for the recommendation

I eat jelly babies during long runs. V helpful and tasty. No gells needed.

@@onlineo2263 Sounds delicious 😄
