      Honestly though. It's okay to go your own pace, rather than "kill yourself," trying to go a pace faster than your current fitness allows. It's patience and listening to your body that will help you improve, not just hitting certain splits.

      Seriously. It's bizarre watching these elite level runners eat like shit. If you're going to train like a champ you should eat like a champ. Salmon, steak, eggs, organ meat, fermented foods, clean foods, clean water, grass fed animals, bone broth, deenz, etc. I can't imagine the level TAS would be at if he ate cleaner.

Would love to hear a conversation between you two and how training is, his philosophy, and what makes this group different from the rest as your career with the Beasts progresses.This was a really cool video thinking about some of the little side conversations you could hear especially towards the end. They call you the King for a reason because you come up with the goods like this video 👑😂. Keep going keep inspiring

    The ending really stuck with me, as I am not at the same fitness level of a few of my teammates and tend to fall behind in all of our runs. You have to find the balance between pushing yourself and overdoing it, even if your teammates run faster. Also a good teammate encourages their teammates to be the best they can be, no matter where they are at
