As a former motocross racer and a fan of the sport for 15 years, and now taking an interest in running myself the last few years, these videos are fantastic to watch. Thanks for putting in the effort to make them!
I raced motocross for about 12 years and stopped at 21. I became a couch potato, became miserable and didn't know who I was anymore. I've run my whole life, to stay in shape for motocross, baseball and football. I started running again, racing almost every weekend then picked up triathlon. To me it is truly the best sport now. Watching how ya'll bond over every part of life is awesome and something I wish my little brother and I could have. He raced for a while before picking up golf and is now and pro instructor. So yeah, he's the talented one, but also worked his ass off for years. You two are awesome. To Jeremy, I'm a huge fan of yours, you'll always be a champion, do whats best for you brother. And 1:15 first half?!!! Oh, good job Alex also with 2:54! Keep up the hard work like always.
And to echo what others are saying - I love watching and listeria to the details of your training and nutrition. The sport of MX does not leak those details ever, so this is great.
Big Al you my friend are an animal! Going from SX & MX to marathon running is a big step! Going from a 20-35 minute all out sprint to a long 3 hours high heart rate activity. I know all that moto fitness work helps big time. But running for 3 hours, wow. I used to run a lot in Jr high and high school. Did a bunch of 10k races. But I didn’t really have to prepare my body much. Good dinner the night before and hydrate cause most of my races were in the high desert of California and the heat was pretty high. Seeing you and your bro running is inspiring. I raced BMX as a kid all the way up until I was 18, I just recently built a 24” BMX cruiser. I tried to replicate my old BMX bike and I am super stoked with the build, I’m ready to take it to the local track and ride, and who knows 🤷🏻♂️ I might just sign up and race the 50+ cruiser class. I’m 54 and about to be 55 next month. So why not. I’ve been going out for rides around the house just to get myself loosened up and do a few sprints. As we get older we still have an itch to scratch whether it be running, moto, BMX it keeps us feeling young. Great video btw. You are killing it my man!
Soooo fit, also I feel lucky as hell being a big troll train fan and a runner since 2013 even though I only have 1 full marathon under my belt (Pittsburgh) that I can continue to enjoy your vlogs after your racing career. Also thanks again for signing my split box at Detroit Supercross in 2022 it made my weekend!
So glad you are enjoying the content and following along as we continue to incorporate running into our training lives! Do you have any race efforts in your pipeline?
Awesome - and great to see your Strava progress. I was an Aussie weekend warrior MXer in the 80's, and switched to marathons, then Ironman after being "brought back" after shattering my skull. Man you guys are fast! I'm happy to just tuck under 3hrs.
Cool episode! Awesome to see a couple of pro Moto athletes showing what’s capable when pivoting to endurance sports that are more relatable 👏🏻 but when is Team Troll Training taking on a 70.3? 💪🏻
It’s amazing how much of a beast Jmart is just by his natural default. He’s such a physical mess but such a beast. So impressed with both of you two. But Jerma is a freak.
Nice run, I went from full moto weekend warrior to running Boston last year. You’re gonna love Boston, standing on the start is gonna feel like A1 gate drop. You should hit some 5 or 10k track races this summer! I’ve stepped down in distance since I crossed Boston off the list.
I was heading down to Spring Creek MX park at 6:30 am a few weeks ago for race day, and passed Alex about 10 miles from his house. I gave him extra room and a little toot of the horn as I passed him, he waved back, super nice guy and a great family in general.
Not sure if hed like too reach out to him, but Ferrandis talked at length about his head injury, symptoms and the treatment he went through in France. Some alternative methods, but he spoke on its success to help any others who may be suffering as well.
Seems like you're a fast dude no matter the sport! As a C class motocrosser and a 4 hour marathoner I wonder if the performance correlation is strong for everyone between the two sports.
Must be so weird going to a event with so little. Motorcross you need so much stuff. Concussions suck best of luck with that Jeremy, my last one took just over 2 years to get back to some normality.
Motocross racers are an absolutely ridiculous shape. Take another sport. Any other major sport. Basketball football baseball and put them in a marathon and see if they can finish under 3 hours.
NO WAY COULD I DO THAT AFTER 3 KNEE SURGERIES AND A TRASHED HIP FROM DIRT BIKE RACING. THOUSANDS OF MILES WALKING AND ON A BIKE AND RUNNING IN A POOL WHEN I CAN GET IN ONE.... GOOD LUCK!

It's awesome watching your post mx/sx career journey into marathon running. I hope Jeremy has a complete recovery from his brain trauma.

Go Jeremy. Martin Brothers both class acts..humble opinion..

Amazing you have the knees to do this after years of racing moto!
No need to apologize, perfect content for my evening stretch and foam roll 🤘

Dude, that's a lot of running! Congrats on pursuing a new passion and thanks for sharing your journey online and for your article(s) in MXA.
Martin brothers rule 🚲💨
Holy shit... the scars comparison is eye opening.....

Martin Brothers are the epitomy of guys you just want to hang around.
The Martin brothers took more steps then anyone with there short stature lol
Troll Train!!! Let's gooooooooooooh!!!!
I was curious about the knees!? I like running but worry about killing my knees so cycling is my go to. I still would like to run though👀
dude BAMF crazy fast times
1:15 FN A that's fast
Seems like you're a fast dude no matter the sport!

That is an awesome time !
Good job big Al!!
Thanks 👍

Awesome job
impressive times. i have done 10 and in the 2:50 range is impressive
Wild!
Bro needs a BPN collab
I hope Jeremy transitions to MTB or maybe even Lifetime Grand Prix.
Here i am, struggling to run for 20minutes a day😂😂
Try an Ironman 70.3 boys!! Right up your alley
How are the knees and hips. This would destroy me, I can barely handle 5 mi
Anyone you doesn’t think Mx/SX isn’t tough and hard on the body. 😮
My son runs college division 1 XC and track, and the toll it takes on his body is insane. good job.
Majority of us are just Alex Martin fans!
Appreciate that!!
Taking screenshots of your wife's Greek bowls so I can copy them!😃
How you survived with good knees? u got lucky amigo.
Has what you learned being a runner changed how you might have trained as a motocross athlete? If so, how?
Yeahhhhhhhhh buddy!
Ironman next?
Alex has 6 quick steps to everybody else 2 steps
