Weights & Strength Training | How to Win Like Mo | Mo Farah (2020) 

Eater

Just 4lbs of quorn I’ve heard

Kuroko exactly if he wasn’t eating a lot he wouldn’t be able to do what he’s doing and be exercising this much of course on top of proper training and enough rest

He uses an African diet that’s from his home country where they mostly ate vegetables or healthy foods

mukbang maybe?

Which means the weight work is pretty much a waste of time. For Mo. Sebastian Coe was a beast in the gym and reg squatted 200lbs vs Mo's 90

Lol I'm a freshman cross country runner squatting 225 for 6 reps lol

@@twopoppin3017 no offense tho but that means nothing in relation to your 5k

@@brianbaker5757 true I'm not a great runner... Only have a 18:21

@@twopoppin3017 hay dont get me wrong if you enjoy lifting and it dosnt get in the way of your running all the power to ya and what grade are you in because thats a good time

thank-you no Farah you help me. lot for doing more

Running from the truth his fkn autobiography pack of lies

Running coaches showing runners how to squat makes me wince. As he goes down the bar travels forward, he then is changing his back angle and creating leverage. Wearing squishey running shoes is a no no too. Learn to squat parallel properly.

Agreed ,i want his fitness, i did body building as a kid ,now im fat, lol.😉, but sadly have developed sleep apnia and im desperate to loose weight for my apnias, im walking and doing free hajnd exersizes, but scared to use weights in case i put on weight ,muscle etc....im hoping to have a jockeys body..

for your age it's better to do body weight exercises

Kevin Joshy that doesn’t even translate too well

It’s weakness of your diaphragm muscle which is responsible for inhalation. Run more and build a base before exerting on hard efforts and the diaphragm cramps should reduce in frequency.

gj man, i came also 1st on my highschool cross country

Impressive what was your time?

Wow what was your time? I wish I could be state champ

11:17 was my time

Ben Post and also I am p6 as well as ten years old

Nate Silvers this is way too easy to injure someone bro. Obviously your not gonna do this 4x a week so this isn't intense enough to injure someone

I run between 60-70 miles a week and do weights as well. You should do them after the run since the run is what matters more. You could do the weights right after but you'll be super weak from the run,if you can, wait a few hours before doing weights. I usually do weights twice a week. Like Wed and Sat. I go very light as well. On Wed I usually use the smith machines. On Saturday I'll use the free weights. If though during my 1st set with the free weights I feel like it's not going to well, I'll go lighter for everything else or switch back to the smith machines. Again just go very light. You don't want to get super sore from lifting weights. Just experiment and listen to your body. If the weights aren't your thing,you could just get a kettle bell from walmart and look up a whole body routine on youtube. We just need a little strength training,so anything with some resistance will be fine.

He said it depends how close you are to an important meet, and generally 3x a week in the beginning I think

Did he?

Thanks for the advice but I'd like to know what Mo does since it's his video and he's the elite runner.

"Knees over toes" moves the load from the lower back to the thighs, which makes sense to a runner. It's not recommended in traditional weightlifting since it puts more load on the knees though, so naturally you have to be more careful while doing it.

OhOkay Then ur an idiot ahahahah

definitly pop over mo

Same, I felt like I would have to lose muscle mass and slim down to be a better runner

I mean look at him

He is a world class distance runner he does not need all that muscle and bulk up that would slow him down. Having some functionality in his legs and a powerful heart is what matters not all the cosmetics that come along with weight lifting.

Anthony Mcqueen I didn’t mention his size. I weighed 130 pounds when I was running 16 flat in 5k in high school last year and was skinny and could squat 275 you can build power with no size

Dalton DeSollar exactly. You can even get a strong upper body without gaining weight if you do low enough volume

The og twig

Thanks, mate.

It's range of motion, it's a waste to overly train past the angle you use in the desired sport. Similarly it's a waste to add weight much past the load the muscles will use in the sport. You can get some endurance from added muscle mass but it's a fine line where mass then slows you down by weight or inhibiting motion. For a marathon runner I think the line would be very close, like over 1% added mass would be bad. Then you have to ensure you train that added mass correct as in slow or fast twitch muscle. Doing weight reps very slowly builds slow twitch and is of no use to any runner, the burst he does at the end of squat will build fast twitch. Some of the core muscles may benefit from slow twitch but I wouldn't like to guess what ones.. even experts still don't fully understand the bio mechanics of running.

Check out bully juice on RU-vid he has body weight stuff with no equipment

Федор Сумкин You dont need to fully bend your keens while running aswell. It's important to do short but explosive squats

With this light weight, I would think one should at least benefit from full range of motion. But, I've seen Usain Bolt doing similar half reps (with more weight), and of course, I'm not any where near the world class elite level of runner as either of them are, so I'm sure they have good reason, and it's not due to negligence or lack of coaching.

Nico Nico loooool your a sad pathetic low life commenting on every post with the same thing no one care dummy

Because he trains for running, so, doing a deep squat isn't what he wants because he don't wants strength or muscle mass, he wants to transfer the squat to his running, so, doing that range of motion is enough and optimal for transfering it to the motion of running

Aftab Bukhari they are called 1/4 squats and they are really good for explosive power

Deniz I'd recommend after the run

Saul Iniguez Okay thanks for the advice.
