@csisnandi490 Год назад

My favorite takeaway from this episode, was the fact that Kilian said to all trail runners to don't be afraid to walk, walking is part of mountain running. For me this was one of the biggest inspiration that I could have gotten.

@FlorisGierman Год назад

Perfect, I'm so glad that he said this Csis. Good for athletes of all levels to hear.

@user-bc4un6oj1m 19 часов назад

I really like to listen to Kilian Jornet and I would never think about to compare his abilities with mine. Thank you Kilian and Floris, you guys are a huge inpiration to us. ......Yes Floris, it was worth it absoulutely to mention you with Kilian in the same sentense. It's not easy to listen to potcasts for 90 minutes usually, but I can listen to you for hours. Your youtube channel is a big motivation getting up every morning to go for a run. All knowledge helps us not to fail at races. You are a pain-killer then isn't it? We are prepared going there because of you told us how to practise. Thank you

@samuelabbott6603 Год назад

I appreciated how much he encouraged us to listen to and trust our bodies, especially about output and recovery. His comment, “it’s okay to walk, the running will come.” Is always a good reminder.

@FlorisGierman Год назад

I love that part as well. The consistency, joy in training and good recovery will make us a stronger athlete if we can be patient and zoom out far enough.

@paulpublic2435 Год назад

This interview reveals two extremes. On one hand "weather too good not to go", "ride with the girls", "negative thoughts during the race" etc, show Kilian is just like everyone else. On the other hand you hear what puts him on a completely different level. And it isn't just physical gifts and mad training. He really is a student of every aspect of the game and his place in it. Mindset at the start line (adjusted for an ultra), in tune with his heart rate etc etc while running, testing at aid stations (not for use in the race, but rather for later study) etc. All wrapped up in so much humility. Elite in something quite specific, and yet so universally relatable at the same time. Almost, but not quite, completely normal. I guess that's what Nnormal is.

@FlorisGierman Год назад

So well said Paul, two extremes that come together beautifully.

@Trailrunner1978 Год назад

Best athlete interview I have ever seen. And with one of the best ever athletes. You really have a special gift Floris!

@FlorisGierman Год назад

Wow, thank you Knut, that means a lot to me!

@raulbernal9208 Год назад

I like the part when Kilian talks about failure. Many people believe that failure is the end, but it is the best opportunity to improve. Congratulations for the interview, I really liked it.

@FlorisGierman Год назад

Great takeaway right there Raul! Reminds me also of Kipchoge's first attempt to miss the Sub 2 marathon goal and this became a stepping stone to him breaking Sub 2 the next try he did. Glad you enjoyed this conversation!!

@raulbernal9208 Год назад

@@FlorisGierman It is true. The difference between good athletes and champion athletes is the reaction to failure.

@javierrivas703 Год назад

For me a good lesson is when he coment about his negative thoughts during UTMB is something I've learn trough the years, try to keep away negative and take it easy, step by step until the end. Thanks for the interview is always very fun to listen kilian's experience!

@FlorisGierman Год назад

Great point Javier!

@flyingjjmonkey Год назад

Phenomenal interview! I watched it because of Killian, but staying due to your talent as an interviewer Floris! So amazing to have someone interview and listen and not try to compete for the spotlight while their guest is speaking. Of Killian's comments - a few stand out to me. His comments on adaptations - he has SO MUCH time in through his life where he has adapted. But also was quite interesting to listen to the part on anxiety - it's not what I hear from interviews about him much. He does seem to be very calm so often. How he manages it through lifestyle choices is quite interesting. Also - all the comments on know yourself and enjoy the process. Not new messages, but ones that I always need reminders on. Thank you both for a great discussion!

@thijsvisser Год назад

Kilian adapts to whatever the situation throws at him and then he strategises his move based on this situation and his abilities at that moment. Pretty high level of self consciousness 🤩

@johnalcantara6892 Год назад

How Kilian said 'don't be afraid of walking!" it's part of the sport of ultra and trail running. Forget about the pace, the distance and the time just have fun hiking or walking the mountain. this is why i love Kilian

@angelhristov2933 Год назад

Great interview, Floris! My favourite takaway: the head is as much important in running as are the legs! Kilian put a lot of thought and reasoning in every aspect of his training and races which makes him like a swiss knife tackling the situations that are thrown at him during running.

@victorisrunning Год назад

The main takeaway for me was to hear the GOAT Killian saying: "Know who you are... That should be the first question anyone needs to know to plan their training, pace, race strategy and so on"... it is so true... and we forget about it many times and just "copy and paste" some training plan from a website, or running club without really adapting to your own strengths and weakness. Thanks for another amazing interview with Killian, I liked the first one but this one is even better. Great content and preparation for these interviews Floris which are getting better and better

@cathytsai9774 Год назад

My favorite takeaway is "don't be afraid of walking. It's ok to walk and hike!" This is a great podcast. Thank you for hosting it.

@Chemamun Год назад

I have seen this episode twice and the entire show is a takeaway. This is gold information. I´ve never seen Kilian talking so clear and opened about his training and feelings. You nailed it Floris.

@DavidPalacios.540 Год назад

This podcast is simply amazing. To me the best quote is: "Just do what you do because at the end of the day you love it, do not forget that" I am paraphrasing of course, but truly impactful phrase.

@daveellis1592 Год назад

Biggest takeaway - don't train to exhaustion - training is training and racing is racing! What a nice guy...

@FlorisGierman Год назад

Absolutely! Great takeaway right there Dave!

@gudea72 Год назад

"Focus on the process" and "forget the pace" are muy fauvorites takeaways. Great interview

@LucaBaldassarre Год назад

Thanks for hosting another information-laden interview with Kilian. My biggest takeaway is "learn who you are" to understand how to train, race, eat and recover. Kilian did a lot of self-experimentation and it's good that he reminds us to experiment ourselves too to learn what works and what doesn't work for each of us as different individuals.

@FlorisGierman Год назад

Love this, very well said Luca!

@sethmthompson1 Год назад

"Failure is it's there all the time and it's important... That is the way you grow as an athlete and as a person". Seeking failure is just pushing yourself seen through another lens and probably part of the reason many people get into running slightly silly distances (whatever that means to you). I love how many times Kilian points out that you cannot just take another persons approach to these challenges / training, you have to keep failing to learn what works for you!

@catherinemillen7678 Год назад

Hi Floris amazing to see this in depth insight into Kilian. For me the Dad who is obsessed with getting onto the trails but sometimes to the detriment of family time hearing Kilian say that strength training can be a fun activity maybe with the family was refreshing. I listened to a podcast on the subject today and 4 experts didn't come up with this suggestion...Brilliant

@stefh1288 Год назад

Liked hearing Kilian say : " Train well but never to exhaustion. Save your best for race day". And also " Focus on the process not so much the result. There will be failures, learn from them ". I find this difficult, and i tend to beat myself up when races dont go to plan, but for the last 2,5 years i have been highly motivated, listening to my body, when i doubt skipping the hard session, and being able to string along this long period of 5 to 6 runs per week Without Injuries, mainly by finding joy and fun in today's run.

@FlorisGierman Год назад

Love these takeaways Stef! I can totally relate, it’s challenging not to beat yourself up when a race doesn’t go according to plan but these are indeed good experiences to learn from too. Glad you are now able to run injury free and enjoy the process! 👍👍

@elibint8921 11 месяцев назад

Just found your page Floris. love it. great interview.

@praveenravindra5558 Год назад

This guy is so simple! No complications.. Keep it simple, enjoy it... He makes it sound so easy! How can one not like this guy, such a good persona! N kudos to you Floris for bringing such great ppl, asking great questions n keeping in mind how these conversations can benifit a common runner!

@FlorisGierman Год назад

Totally agree with you Praveen, glad you enjoyed it!

@trailrunningforlife Год назад

My favourite quote in this interview has to be: "Well, failure it's there all the all the time, and it's important. It's a part of the game, it's a part of the journey, and it's where probably you analyse better." - great words, and something I need to remember more often. Thanks for this interview series. Brilliant stuff.

@FlorisGierman Год назад

Yes, so good to hear his thoughts on failure, that was spot on!

@schalk-willemburger4346 Год назад

My favourite takeaway also relates to the concept of failure. Especially where he mentioned to change the way we think about failure because as he said if all goes well then we only know that everything was good. However, when we fail then we can actually analyse what went wrong and improve. A lot of times I am afraid of failure and then won't go for something and "play safe" but end up learning a lot less or even nothing. Amazing to learn from Killian's experience and wisdom!

@FlorisGierman Год назад

Learning from our failures is indeed super valuable, great takeaways!

@thecasualrunner67 Год назад

Awesome interview. So much of you as the individual gets to define what’s possible

@sabineehrstrom6160 Год назад

It's so touching and interesting to hear how he progressively learnt to deal with anxiety, thank's for the sincerity !

@FlorisGierman Год назад

Yes it really is, I found that part touching as well!

@lukashuss7617 Год назад

The whole interview contains so many valuable lessons, thanks fo that! If I had to choose, my favorite lesson would be "not to be obsessed with the result, but to try to see whats been good, whats been bad and how you can do better next time" :)

@markusmillfahrt7780 Год назад

Thank you, Kilian, for sharing your experience and insight into your physiology and psychology during and after the race. Much appreciated 🙂

@ricastc7037 Год назад

Love this interview 👍 Enjoy training/ nature Learn from failures Adaptations take time( do not Rush) Learn to listening tour body( acceptes volume or intensity?) Ok to walk No need to overly complicate the process with streght training, suplements, fancy tech to recover... that have minor performance gains... Kilian the best 💯

@FlorisGierman Год назад

Great lessons right there Ricas!!

@bobogdanov1761 Год назад

The most valuable lesson ''Try to understand who you are '' !!!

@anneliesleeuw Год назад

So many insights to choose from, but my favourite takeaway was the reminder to focus on and value the process, and to not get too hung up on outcomes and results. Applies to much in life! I was impressed with Kilian's confidence in his process and preparation, and his positive mindset in the face of a setback like catching covid. The result of not just incredible talent but also years and years of dedication to the sport, of experience and learning. He continues to impress and inspire.

@paulm706 Год назад

Always impressed by Killian’s humility. Takeaway - just enjoy being in the mountains, listen to your body, train sensibly, be patient and concentrate on process rather than outcome.

@FlorisGierman Год назад

That summarizes it very well Paul, great takeaways! Thanks for sharing

@jherizaldo11 Год назад

I really love to watch interviews with Kilian and how he explains things about what he learned in the past. Very insightful as always and 'simple' in a way that even someone who's new to running would understand. My takeaway would be, that no matter how bad you want to achieve something, don't forget to enjoy the process. Just run, because that's the first reason you love it.

@fiasco7617 Год назад

The most amazing is that he still talks about training and recovery with the most simple solutions/approaches. Like the ABC of how to workout. The rest of us think that it must be a super sophisticated plan to be a top athlete…

@FlorisGierman Год назад

haha, yes I loved that part! But then again when you look into his approach to training and racing over the years, he has definitely put a lot of time and effort into coaching himself for optimal performance, with lots of experiments, journaling, finetuning, etc.

@fiasco7617 Год назад

@@FlorisGierman True! But for people just starting this is a great lesson. If this is the first interview they watch that’s a great start! For the beginners this can be a big boost to their confidence but also a good reason to slow down when they are overdoing it…. Very nice interview by the way 👍

@jarekbatkowski9039 Год назад

I really enjoyed listening to the interview again and I must say that listening to Kilian stops me breathing at times hahahaha.....Very interesting hearing him and sharing all his experiences. Definitely inspiring! For me listening to him and trying to pick one of the most important thing, topic or take a way is impossible! It's like asking me which Metallica's track is your favourite. Impossible! If I love doing something, love it with your heart and give it all you have. .....failures are more important than any success in terms of learning. So let it be the take away. I supposed to run Tamadaba trail marathon this morning but instead seating on the sofa, recovering and watching/listening to the basics by Kilian. Hahahaha. Thumbs up for your podcast Floris. Greetings from Gran Canaria

@jimkwan1807 Год назад

I like the way Killian encourages to enjoy running. Does not always have to pressure even in the training. Good podcast!

@FlorisGierman Год назад

So true Jim! Important daily reminder for us 🙌 🙏

@niclaskullgard9946 Год назад

Thanks for a great interview. The level of questions and also Kilians answers is really adaptable for me as a non elite ultrarunner. My primary home takes are that of learning to know your body and not be afraid to take it slow.

@dastolh Год назад

"Don't focus on the outcome, but the process" is my takeaway quote from this episode!

@didoma73 Год назад

Everybody says that now, but what happens when the outcome doesn't produce the result that the process predicted?

@FlorisGierman Год назад

Great point, many athletes can be hyper obsessed with the race day outcome only, vs looking at the bigger picture and seeing what things went well and what can be improved for the next training cycle.

@stevecoutts2740 Год назад

Great interview Floris, and so many thoughtful answers from Kilian. I liked his comments on energy management, especially the importance of being calm at the start of the race. At UTMB with all the noise and hype and excitement at the start-line it's easy to see how it could be an energy drain.

@FlorisGierman Год назад

Spot on takeaway Steve, energy management is so key. He mentioned in the first interview something about energy as well, with life / work stress, this was a great addition to that point on race day.

@andreacamozzini2705 Год назад

So good interview! Kilian is the best

@FlorisGierman Год назад

Thank you thank you, yes he really is

@josephlucassi4650 Год назад

This was such a great listen! My biggest take away has got to be not putting so much weight/pressure on ourselves and reminding us that we’re fortunate to do something we love and enjoy it! It’s so easy to go down the rabbit hole of comparing previous achievements, abilities & statistics etc. Thanks again Floris 👍

@erwinschulz8418 Год назад

I appreciate the interview with Killian, and I was both encouraged and challenged about his comments near the end of the video about enjoying the race because this is what you chose to do, and that it's all part of the process. I had a race shortly afterward and I kept reminding myself of these facts, and it made the race much more enjoyable because, even though I didn't do my best, I did the best that I could where I was at. I am more encouraged to keep going realizing that this process will pay off the next time.

@danielweststeyn2085 Год назад

Thanks Floris for another great conversation with Kilian. I'm actually a bit surprised to see how high his low intensity heart rate zones (AE and AP) are compared to the 'default' zones for someone of his age. Inspires me to take a lthr test and see if there's a deviation for myself as well. Interesting stuff!

@williambarksdale1235 Год назад

It's refreshing to hear him speak of listening to his body. If he doesn't feel like running, he doesn't. That coupled with the importance of sleep is crucial. Thanks for the interesting interview!

Perfect podcast Floris, I loved to hear that every trainig is a part of a jorney, even a race it is a part of our journey through our running life. As he metioned training at High Intensity must be only a bit compared to Low Intesity what I train as well. 80/20. All the best to you and your podcast. Stay strong and healty.

@EduardoAnguloMW Год назад

@WWROABM Год назад

It was interesting to hear how he modified his race nutrition. Seems he is really listening to his body. And thanks for the piece on strength training. He sounds like a really functional strength trainer as he does many activities. Personally, my time in my home gym is like a haven and rejuvenates my reservoir. That said, his talk about skiing brings me back to snowboarding and the joy I used to get from doing it. I have to get back to snowboarding. Thanks for doing this again. He talks so normally and accessibly one could forget that he is the best of the best. Oh, good luck in Chicago!!!

@jjlopez5764 Год назад

@@FlorisGierman For sure, as a 48 year old trail runner, heart rate is important to me and while our Zones are different, the take away is about pace and strategy as it relates to HR Zone - stellar calculations. And stellar interview as always!

I really appreciated the answer about strength training: choose something you enjoy to compliment your running sessions and go for it! The fact of involving family or friends during training was amazing as well. Kind of: share your happy place with people who make you happy =)

@FlorisGierman Год назад

Well said Elisabeth, I loved that takeaway as well!

@sebastiangrolein247 Год назад

Thank you for the great interviews. Love your way of handeling the conversation and Kilians down to earth honesty. Hard to pick only one special takeaway as there are quite many. Have to give it to Kilians way handling failure and keep looking at the long term journey instead of the short term outcome

@FlorisGierman Год назад

That means a lot, thanks Sebastian. Kilian's way of handling failure and long term vision are definitely great takeaways!

@herbieyau Год назад

Thank you for this great interview episode. My favourite quote is "it’s okay to walk, the running will come". Kilian's internal emotion of accepting slow and fast is very important when we are in the trail.

@FlorisGierman Год назад

The intensity discipline that Kilian, Kipchoge and Dr Seiler talked about in recent episodes is definitely a great take away! 👍👍

Thanks for both of you to take the time and sit down for this open conversation. I liked the whole discussion but if I had to mention a part, I especially liked the UTMB review section where you discussed how the race went on. Interesting to see the feelings and the data in comparison and how the plan goes out of the window. Even elite athletes need to adapt their strategy on race day. The key takeaway if to assess yourself: where you are in your training, how fit you are, what are your ambitions, how much time do you have, what are your weaknesses. The other important lesson is that no race is too important (this is hard to digest when we train for years), but consider it only as a part of the whole journey. Two very nice persons talking, enyojable conversation, will listen again! Thanks for all the editing and compiling job, Floris! Also, the best luck for Chicago!

@allofthemmilkingwithgreenf7493 Год назад

Great interview. I always appreciate Killians reminder to listen to your body and never push too hard. Like: put in the effort, adapt slowly over the years of training. Never rushing anything. Also mixing things up. Patience is something to hone and it makes you appreciate the process. This might be more than just running advice tbh.

@FlorisGierman Год назад

Definitely more than just running advice indeed, well said!

@gerardsolermampel8427 Год назад

I loved both episodes! Thanks for such in-depth content :) My takeaway is to try to make strength and mobility training a funnier activity with other people, I like climbing but never considered it a way to train strength for running.

@FlorisGierman Год назад

Climbing is indeed such a great way to add strength and mobility! Glad you enjoyed both episodes Gerard!

My favorite, I've copied and added it to my quotes page on my phone: "...at the end of the day...a training session is not a race...a lot of people are racing the training session, like you are having the goal of a session is to break a PB. I like a session where I'm running a six minute mile after fasting, and after a 15 mile run at zone 3 rather than being able to run one mile at 5 minutes being fresh, and having good recoveries and eating. Because the adaptations will be very different, and for ultra running and races it will be much more effective." I love group runs because I can touch base with my running friends, but I rarely run the same pace as them. So I'm usually running faster than I should. Which works fine for 5K training, but I make it a point to do my long runs solo, so I can better control my pace. Did my first 50k trail race in April 2023, and am planning a 30 mile unsupported unmarked trail race in September. I didn't train smart for my first ultra, so I've taken a lot of mental notes for the next. Thank you for this interview!

@oriolguillen5097 Год назад

Floris, thanks for the interviews! I've heard a lot of interviews with Kilian, but these ones are different. Top world class for both of you. I really enjoyed. It's really difficult to choose one simple quote or lesson, there is a lot from this hour, but I would say: "Don't focus on the outcome, on the result, focus on the process, on the whole journey". Good luck in Chicago!

@FlorisGierman Год назад

That means a lot Uri, I tried to discuss some topics that will still be relevant in 5-10 years from now as well, vs going too deep into specific timely events. Love that takeaway, spot on reminder for everyone! Thanks!

@ilijadobre Год назад

I liked the most exactly this advice you have put at the beginning of the video. Being an amateur runner it's sometimes difficult to relate with elite sportsmen like Killian. To hear him giving such fundamental advice that can be applied literally to anyone who is into running is so reassuring. And on a side note, he has such a nice personality. 🙂

@FlorisGierman Год назад

:D I often try to edit a few takeaways at the intros to give an idea of what the podcast is about. Totally agree it's nice to hear the relatable fundamental lessons by Kilian that apply to pretty much every athlete!

@craigbarth7474 Год назад

Great interview - thanks! Incredible to hear he was likely racing Sierre Zinal whilst fighting Covid. Soo many great takeaways and my personal reinforcement is - 'it's like f' yeah it doesn't matter how you start, it doesn't matter the first half of the race'. I have a tendency to always start too fast (regardless of the distance) worried that otherwise I'll leave a lot of time on the course even though I usually struggle in the last 1/3... work in progress as even when I think I'm going slowly/easy I probably should still try to run even slower 😀

@FlorisGierman Год назад

Yes so nuts he raced like that at Sierra Zinal! slow down to speed up is real in training and racing!

With six months to go for my toughest 50k ultra run in the mountains with killer elevation, I finally got tempted to see this podcast and I was amazed by the experience and suggestions by Killian. There isn't one but are so many takeaways in this master piece but my favourite is towards the very end.. Forget the training and pace.. The weight of it and just remember why you're doing it because you're doing it to enjoy 😍❤️ I love it more because it resonates with my motto.. How much fun a running can be. Thank you Floris, love your efforts to bring such valuable sessions to us.. Much appreciated 😊🙏🏻
