💥💥80% of Runners are Injured EVERY YEAR 😲 But it Doesn't Have to be You! Avoid being a statistic & sign up for the FREE 5-Day Injury Prevention Challenge mailchi.mp/runsmarter.online/5-day-challenge
Dan, After emailing with you so many times, great to see you 'live' in this video and thanks for mentioning the Easy Interval Method. Anyone interested in easy interval training and a part of Dan's schedule: it is all in my book Easy Interval Method
At 55 doing off season 2 x run 5k per week, 2 x bike minimal 70km per week total, 1 x weight training. From januari I add swimming again. Key is have fun and take it easy. Every 2 weeks an intensive session run or bike, means 1 intensive session weekly. Februari to May longer sessions. Lots of walk run just to avoid injuries and HR under 135 (Karvonen). Last year trained for 70.3 Ironman. Next year for multiple Olympic Tri's just for fun. I'm a recreational athlete. Max 7 hours training a week. Not fast, just average. Keep smiling folks. Totals 2023 : Run 500km, Bike 4000km, Swim 60km.
That is an amazing achievement. Makes a lot of sense to me, someone who is getting back into running after years of cycle racing and various (running related injuries.)The regular weight training ,and starting with a run/walk program . I still do the run /walk on super easy days . My challenge is combining my run training with my cycle training and racing which involves a lot of high intensity interval training. I look forward to hearing the Podcast with Dan. 😁🏃🏃🏃
I love Dan's mindset... I think a majority of people hit a certain age... 30, 40, 50, and think "That's it, time to throw in the towel, I can no longer consider myself an athlete. " He just keeps reinventing himself, and his training methods, and is still out there setting and crushing goals. Being in my 40s, and having transitioned from short road races to trail ultras, this is just as motivating to me as Goggins. Just found your channel. Subscribed and looking forward to binging!
Thanks for taking the time to write this Kelly. Your reaction is exactly what I was aiming for with this video. I am glad you found it useful and really look forward to your feedback in others. 🥰🥰
I appreciate Dan sharing his training experience. I've had the opportunity to run behind him a time or two at the USATF Club Cross Country Championships. As a 66 year old I'm also backing off milage and doing more strength training. Even if I don't get faster, I feel like I'm getting fitter, which is now a greater priority of mine.
LOVE this Brodie and thanks for sharing. Being a 62 year International Masters Athlete i would concur with everything Dan says and would love a chat with him also.
Wow this whole video is 100% aligned with my channel documenting my Duathlon journey targeting the British 2024 Duathlon Champs. I turn 60 in 2024 and turned the clock back in 2023 to run 5k 18:09 and 10k 37:31. The secret I felt was strength & Conditioning and only running key sessions. I rarely run more than 25k per week but cycle around 200k per week plus strength work. Great content in this video; thanks!
Fantastic interview. I like how you get into the details of the workouts. I learned about Dan King when researching Easy Interval Method. I have started to incorporate these types of aerobic intervals into my training as an old guy. Very interesting concept. One thing I've learned though is that I became a little too accustomed to the breaks between the intervals lol
A lot of people will agree with you. I get too accustomed to breaks in between sets of my gym workouts 😅😅 thanks for watching several of my videos. It helps me out a lot 👏
I was eagerly awaiting your podcast episode for this one and it was totally worth the wait , absolutely fascinating and motivational too, especially being 61 myself!! Btw Brodie, I read an article in New Scientist (1 July, 2023) by Carissa Wong called "Night-time meals may help you run for longer"... the study she cites was only on mice but still quite interesting and it might be something worth looking into if you don't know about it. Plus I couldn't help wondering about that concerning us older runners who definitely tend to favour endurance.🙋🏻♀
Very interesting I’ll check it out. My next video is keto vs fasting vs carb loading but I have already made the video 😅 still, would be nice to explore
Great video, thank you for sharing. I have recently started at the age of 59 to see how close I can get to every 60 year old male world record from 100m, 200m, 400m, 800m, 1500m, 1 mile, 5km, 10km, half marathon, full marathon and Ultra Marathon over the next 12 months
It's good Dan credits Klaas Lok's Easy Interval Method during the podcast. Perhaps changing the title to reflect who actually formulated this system is warranted? cheers, love the channel.
GREAT video! The following is not a criticism of your video, just additional thoughts. An earlier comment mentioned genetics, and I would say that extends beyond things like handling lactate and Vo2 max etc., and that is the fact that some people's bodies are better suited for different sports, and some have more fast twitch or more slow twitch, AND, if you didn't develop a strong 'system' when we were young, so it's hard to develop later. Now that I am older, I am very familiar with older elite athletes, and 'most' of them have a background of developing their 'system' at a young age. There is probably scientific evidence of this (I haven't seen it), but I sure believe it's (empirically) true!
@1:30 when he says he ran “500 miles” in total, its hard to believe that’s for 365 day/year?? that’s only 10 mile/week on the road. I understand the emphasis on cross training, but did I miss something?
You heard it right! Listen out for the podcast. That year he did have to reduce his mileage due to plantar fasciitis. So there was probably chunks of time within the year of no running
Do you have any paid program that can help me to heal my patellafemoral pain syndrome ? I checked your website found none..30 min chat i dont want to do after that maybe you will offer 1 on 1 mentorship i am afraid if i cant afford ....
Some good info, but be careful about emulating the training of others. I know Dan. I've raced with (behind) Dan. However, I don't have his genes or physiology. Dan almost never races > 1hr, whereas I've raced 100s. I have endurance to spare and am just warming up at 30min. I have very little drop off in pace from 5k to 10k, and from 10k to 1/2, for example, and a relatively small HR diff from LT1 to LT2. I can't race 5k & shorter well without training at higher intensities. I ran my best times at longer distances when I spent the winter training like a 5k runner. Adding (more) strength as we get older to counter sarcopenia (see Seiler, for example, th-cam.com/video/kC5_0qOJhDk/w-d-xo.html), sleep, and a big aerobic base from multiple methods including low impact make sense. However, if racing longer, it's hard to substitute too much time on feet to train your legs to handle the impact. Also, Joe Friel and Ned Overend (Fast over 50 book) might disagree with slow intervals. Find your own limiters and work on them.
Always a good reminder Adam. Thanks for sharing. Your comment and experience will help others. Your point is exactly why I wanted to add ‘this is just one case study’ at the end.

As always, great information and most importantly actionable information....thank you Brodie! Going to share with all my Hyrox and DekaFit friends.
Thanks Joey!

Very true! Thanks for sharing mark and adding to the conversation. I am glad you enjoyed the video 😇
I feel better about being stuck on the gym cardio in my base building, while working out some lower back/nerve problems.
Hope your recovery is swift Ben. Well done for keeping proactive

He mentioned doing faster work up hills, and the reasons why. One of the best short videos on this topic I have seen.
