It's so important! I always dismissed strength training and when I increased my intensity/mileage...tore tendon behind my knee/lateral. The strength training isn't just about the nerves, muscles, but after 6 months the tendons get much more resistant to tears/injuries.
The final exercise for the tendons between the glutes and hamstrings was exactly what I needed as I also experience a bit of sting/tightness there as well. Super helpful video.
Hi John, amazing video!! Really interesting! I think a video quite similar but very interesting can be a Gym workout routine but at home with only the classic material. I think it will be very interesting because every because not everyone has the time and desire to go to the gym. Thanks a lot. Sportivement!
Hey John, great videos!! Perhaps in a next one could you maybe show a general overview of what an average training week looks like for you? Just like what kind of different training sessions you do and average volume/mileage in a week. Good luck at the olympics!!
Hey John, in the previous video you mentioned going by feel for your threshold pace. Could you talk a bit more about this - what do you pay attention to, to you adjust your rest time, how do you tell between intervals being harder due to fatigue, do you adjust for fatigue etc. Great content, hope you do more!
Thanks, seems like a routine that hits the important muscle groups for running without being too complicated. Would be v interested to hear how you think about weights - how heavy to lift? What's good enough?
Salut john je voudrais intégrer cette routine bas des jambes et je voudrais savoir pour tous les exercices on peut en faire combien de série et de répétition ? Ps j’aime beaucoup tes vidéos elle son motivante 💪🏼
Very cool stuff! I think it's important to note that form is of utmost importance. To try using weights with these exercises before getting the proper form nailed down could lead to injury. Common sense I know but important to note.
Not yet! Plyometrics is something I have thought about a lot. And it is beneficial for a lot of runners. That’s probably something I’ll add in my routine in the future
Hi John, really liking your videos. One question, you mention you do dynamic stretches and mobility to better your ROM. However, when you're executing your barbell squats, you do not do a full squat, rather a quarter squat. Is there any specific reason for this? Thanks and good luck in Paris!
Hey Michiel! I do not believe deep squats are necessary for (middle-)distance runners because these are angles that we do not use while running at our paces. Half- and quarter squats are more than enough
Hi John! I've been running track for a few years but only have decided to take it seriously the past year. I was wondering what kind of diet I should maintain on a daily basis and leading up to races. Could you make a video about yours?
Hi Charlie! Very good idea for a future video. However, nutrition is still very personal. I think everyone reacts differently to different types of foods, and can therefore benefit more from different food types. Btw, I’ve a free ebook on nutrition on my website (via link in bio on my Instagram), if that could be helpful to you :)

I had the same issue before strength training: little itches everywhere. Strength can definitely help with that
Hey John, great video. A video on what drills you do before a race or workout would be great!
I don’t do special drills before a race. I do these mobility exercises that you see at the start of the video ;)

Good idea! I have already such a gym routine included in my training program on my website by the way

Very good idea 😊
Very nice.... Thanks... I work with Jean Paul and he never told you these nice videos...
Good luck in Paris!

I’ll make sure to discuss that in a future video 🔥
love your videos coach !
Thanks for sharing these tips with us!

Thanks 😎👍
Merci beaucoup ! Super
J'essaierai ça
Top ;)
Great video and routine. Will be trying it out. Thanks

Indeed, thanks for sharing 🙏 Personally, I have done months of exercices without weights before starting to incorporate them in my gym routine
Great exercises and well explained 💪Do you convert the strength gained in this training into power through plyometric exercises?
Not yet! Plyometrics is something I have thought about a lot. And it is beneficial for a lot of runners. That’s probably something I’ll add in my routine in the future
Good video mate
Hello John! Thank you very much for demonstrating the preparation for the Olympic Games.
Interesting to watch you, what is your VO2max?
Hey Max! No idea, never tested my VO2max…

Hi John, informative video 👍. Just wondered what barbell accelerator tracker you used? Thanks
The ‘Enode’ sensor :)
Gracias 👍
Good video! Would you mind sharing what is your iphone case?

Thanks a lot!! 😃

@@Johnheymansrun Hey John. Thank you so much, I'll definitely read it. Looking forward to your video(s)!
Sets and reps?
how many reps do you do in the warmup?
Post a Video about a Double Threshold Session
Reps? Please
Hip rotators?
maybe i missed it but how many times a week do you do this routine?
About 2 times ;)
Do you run hard the day after your gym session? Cause I can’t do any type of hiit the day on or after my gym session due to my muscles being very sore
Yes, I do. But that’s because my strength program is very light. If I had a hard one like yours, I wouldn’t do it
@@Johnheymansrun thanks for replying! I hope you win the Olympics, your videos are very inspiring
Do you get stiff after the strength training?
It depends. Not with my current routine as it is light weight. I get stiff when there is a change in exercises and when the weights get heavier
How many sets and reps do you normally do?
Can’t say that right now… Please don’t hate me for that 🥹
@@Johnheymansrun 😭😭
Thx voor de oefeningen .... maar op 6min35 is er daar toch 1 een rare oefening aan het doen hoor ;-)
😅😅
What is your weight?
No idea!
Hi John, informative video 👍. Just wondered what barbell accelerator tracker you used? Thanks
The sensor is called ‘Enode’ :)
