This is like watching one of those legendary olympic moments. Today we are witnessing history as the first person to qualify for the olympics from sikastan hahahaha
Shin splints are horrendous. My two pence as a competitive runner. 1. Increase cadence (Lessens impact forces) 2. Play around with the very minor adjustments in the direction you foot is pointing when you contact the ground 3. Control your right leg better as its not following a very straight path, it causes lots of torsion through your left leg.
Even with Eoin as far back as the support car is there a chance his incredible mass contorted the forces at work on your shins? Genuinely awesome effort x
I know this will sound creepy, but it's like you guys are my friends and I was right there with you rooting you on through my phone. Thanks for the inspiration lads and congratulations on your accomplishments Fitz. Im so stoked on you guys!
Not sure if you supplement with creatine but for me it causes severe shin splints. I was unable to run half a mile without getting shin splints but having stopped using creatine I'm able to run 10+ miles with no issue. There's some good research online in regards to it.
Bro a 5.5 minute mile was the best I ever did when I was 165 lbs and ran regularly. Can't imagine what it's like trying to run a 5 minute at whatever weight you are
I look forward to many more Special Olympic events from Sikastan, tren, tren, and tren som more. Seriously though, amazing progress Fitz! Look forward to you and Gurph's future goals and accomplishments!
Lovely video lads, very refreshing to see you training together after so long in lockdown. You should take another crack at it once the tracks are open again Fitz!
get a walking analysis done to figure out what creates the extra tension that causes the shin splints. i ended up getting shoes with pronation support. this completely resolved the issue for me. All the best
Judging by the hoof like sound of his running it is a pronounced heel strike and then his forefoot slapping down on the pavement that is causing it. At this pace he should be quiet and springy.
@@wrf85 Painful to watch. How can someone that "knowledgeable" be this bad at the most basic thing in sports? Pathetic performance overall. Who cares about the ability to squat 500lbs, when you cant even run properly...
@@hansheinerkohlhoff7607 why are you being such an ass? shin splints fucking suck, and while Fitz doesn’t have the best running technique (i will agree it’s quite poor), his shin splints are certainly exaggerating that because that’s exactly what happens to me.
Shin pains are scary. I believe I may have what one could refer to as the Toshiki/Arley injury with a stress fracture to the tibia. Initially diagnosed as a tear in the muscles up front but the lump on the bone makes me suspicious. I'm just getting back to 90+% squats after over a year. Still PRs on the other lifts, some thanks to you guys :)
Back when I was running collegiate track, ibuprofen in combo with acetaminophen made the most intense shin splint pain just about disappear temporarily. This is great in the moment but certainly prolongs the dealing with the stress injury. Your run is pretty bouncy for a big guy, which is also probably not helping your splints. Though I have been out of running competitively for 13 years and my advice may be moot.
Running under 5 in the mile can be trained, but the running training I see in these videos is so far off the mark it makes me question if this is a joke or if you genuinely don’t know what a typical program to achieve that kind of time looks like. Against my better judgement, for the sake of anyone who is interested and doesn’t realize what they would need to do: At least 20 to 30 miles per week, 40 being ideal, spread over 6 days each week with the other day as rest. Almost all of that is easy mileage but with speedwork on 2 days each week: 1 of shorter intervals, the other longer intervals. The shorter intervals day could consist of a mile easy for warm up and cool down and 3 miles total volume at faster pace broken up into intervals. E.g. 12 by 400m at 70s to 72s with 90 seconds rest between each is the sort of workout a 5 minute miler could do once each week. The longer interval day might be a mile warm up and cool down with 5 by 1600m at 5:40 and 3 minutes rest between each, for a 5 minute miler. A normal person would start at whatever mileage they could handle and do 3 weeks at that mileage x, 1 week down at 80% of x, then do the next 4-week cycle at 110% of x for the previous cycle with the 4th week of each cycle at 80% of that cycle’s mileage. I.e. 4-week cycles each one a 10% increase in total mileage from the previous. Do that, with speedwork at an appropriately scaled volume and intensity, for as long as it takes. I ran distance for 20 years, through high school and college, with a 4:27 mile to my name and enough experience to know that isn’t even good: loads of high schoolers crush my college best. But I was a bigger dude for a runner and had to grind to see some success. If anybody watching this actually wants to train running, what I outlined above is a good plan.
That is almost exactly the training I did. I think you oversimplified the Overspeed prescription slightly, and I fear those volume levels may not be perfect for everyone. But yeah, if you think the running training was made up solely of the running which featured in the blogs, I'm afraid you may have taken us up wrong, most weeks were 4-5 running sessions.
@@sikastrength The first video the algorithm pointed me to was your Weightlifting Coaches React to 2014 World Championships video. I watched it in full and stayed around because the commentary was top-notch: informative and entertaining. Great banter. Thank you for your good content. I came here hoping to see you succeed. I am confident that running a sub-6:00 mile or even sub-5:40 mile is something you could just up and do after a bit of training, but sub-5:00 is no joke: I tuned in ready to be impressed. It's enough that you could make it a monthly installment where you describe your training for the past month and measure your progress with a monthly mile time trail. Whatever you decide to do, I will be rooting for you. I am going to go back to watching but never commenting. Good luck.
Please do a video about the plans on the next attempt. How much time are you putting between such attempts? Are you doing to do some feet raises and try again or do a whole training, peaking cycle?
8:55 shit, listen to those foot falls, no wonder his shins are screaming. Amazing effort, next one to attempt this should avoid running down hill all the way though 😉😄
My cross country was a world record holder for the 10k in his time, and he would make us run extra miles everytime he saw us running on pavement. Avoid it if you can.
@@MrDisastard oh, okay! I heard splints, but I thought he had some accident/surgery and he has splint in his leg and that is hurting him. I googled shin splints, and now I know... :) Thank you!
Just based on the video/audio it seems like you're crashing a bit on your foot strikes. For such a hefty fella you might try to run 'softer'. For technique runs in the past I would literally cue 'run quieter'.
You should try running on all fours to take the stress off the shins.
Clarence Kennedy style handstand-running m8.

i wish all
*Sikastan*
a very pleasant
*sports performance*
I read this in Gurph's voice
That was at least a Sikastanian mile (adjusted for strength athletes). Well done! Especially the back squat after all that work.

Some more premium content from Sikastan’s State Committee for Television and Radio Broadcasting. 👌👌
Missed 500 last week. Another squat prep and I’ll have it. Watching this back for inspiration thanks lads

@@rustyshackleford8473 I don't think it was that bad lol
This only just popped up in my feed. Great content as usual lads, I enjoy seeing the camaraderie.
Kudos for not being afraid to share an occasional bad rep or mile. They happen!
Good job daire! Sikastan is proud to have a strong leader such as yourself!
The love of dogs on this channel is also great!
Congratulations! An insane feat of fitness!
A real shame the run had to be interrupted so much because of pain! Great feat nonetheless, especially with the squat too.
Tibia training helped my shin splints!
Bravo. Looking forward to seeing where you go with the next one.

Unbelievable effort lad! Class that you went out of your comfort zone. There will be savage growth from this! 💪👏

I've suffered with shin splints since my teens 45now I know your pain man. Well done with the squat
Good stuff! I really liked the lifting session

Will you give it another go or what? Now you got us all rooting for you.
Great work fitz, the 500 squat looked strong, and it seemed like you had the 5 min mile in you besides the shin splints
Nicely done, gents. Unlucky with the run but you gave it a good shot. How much does Daire weigh?
"Nice little vmo on you, where's the rest of your leg?"

I have had shin splints and still have them, they are horrendous
Ahhh congrats man! Good job!
Please do a video about the plans on the next attempt. How much time are you putting between such attempts? Are you doing to do some feet raises and try again or do a whole training, peaking cycle?
when are you attempting again
Gojira- I see you're men of culture
8:55 shit, listen to those foot falls, no wonder his shins are screaming.
Amazing effort, next one to attempt this should avoid running down hill all the way though 😉😄
This comment seems really snarky, sorry. I really do think it was an awesome effort
How does he run with all the extra weight? 4:27
Were you running downhill?
Did not see this in my feed earlier.
gwan lad
that taller skinnier guy with the brown hair is actually kinda strong
Good job lad
Sorry about the shin splints, that fuckin sucks.
What were those pants Eoin was wearing in the squats? Extremely urgent.
Those are Gymshark women's fitgal power leggings, my girlfriend has the exact same pair, she says they have great flex in the seat
Was Fitz enhanced here? I just dont understand how he squat that 500 w apparent ease....
Do some tib raises for the shin splints. Check out kneesovertoesguy
2:00 "extra chlorine" ?
What language is he speaking?
why did you decide to do the run before the squat?
Lack of Fitz leg hair is totally suspicious!! 😆
Well done tho🏋️♀️
My cross country was a world record holder for the 10k in his time, and he would make us run extra miles everytime he saw us running on pavement. Avoid it if you can.
Your car sounds like it needs some tape Eion mate
Might be a stupid Q but why didn't you train for this wearing running shoes? The shoes you wear seem to always be flat soled
The run was planned to be on a track, but due to lockdown closures, it had to be done on a road.
@Matthew B no not in lockdown
He’s not rolling his foot. Forget heel/ball striking. Roll the foot which ends up being the natural way to run
How much of a difference do you think doing this on a road made?
Aye it would have been much easier doing it on candy floss
Somebody please fill me in: what is wrong with Fitz's shins?
It's called shin splints. It can be debilitating as the pain can be pretty intense
@@MrDisastard oh, okay! I heard splints, but I thought he had some accident/surgery and he has splint in his leg and that is hurting him. I googled shin splints, and now I know... :) Thank you!

You show us the squats but not how much pizza and ribs you destroyed afterwards. Extremely disappointed.
my parents ruin my running life
try to run smoover ur gonna hurt ur joints :c
on da toes
1. you're too fat to run that time
2. you have to run it on a track in real time for it to count - cheater
you are nothing.
Hell yeah! Also running sucks lol
lel
Running is bad for your health.
Rip? Is that you?
