If you want to learn from the best, you can’t get any better than Eliud Kipchoge.
In this episode, I deconstruct the marathon world record and training patterns of the greatest long-distance runner of all time, the greatest marathon runner of all time, and one of the greatest endurance athletes and humans of all time. I talk about how Eliud balances consistency and discipline with consciously trying to never exceed 80% of his capacity during training, because his goal is to save his energy for races instead.
As you’ll hear, Kipchoge rarely exceeds the MAF pace formulated by Dr. Phil Maffetone, who actually predicted that Kipchoge would become the greatest marathoner in history by training easier than other elite marathoners. Tune in to hear me break down how he trains, runs 110-120 miles a week with discipline and joy, and never gets sick or injured. There is a lot to gain from emulating Eliud’s sensible approach, especially when you consider that the cover of the book Primal Endurance says: “Slow down to go faster.” This episode will teach you how to actually do that.
