Nothing matters more than long-term consistency. Consistently small efforts trump occasionally great efforts. You can take a micro-step toward your fitness and endurance right now. It does not have to be a 60 minute run - go run for 10 minutes. Injured - go walk for 10 minutes. Start small and stay consistent.
My longest run to date thanks to this episode. It ain't much, but I am about a month into my journey and just ran 5 miles without stopping. Great, great talk.
Some day I will say : " I have watched this channel since it had 56 K subscribers and now it has more than a million ". Great talks, amazing people! Thanks. Keep going.
Great podcast!!!! I am F 72 yrs old and going after Abbott World Marathon Majors and have 2 races to go. This podcast is an eye opener for me. My favorite message : Consistency over time is the key to endurance. I am looking forward to creating and navigating my own landscape and territory! The idea is liberating for me!!! Thank you so much!!! 😊
This episode struck so many chords for me. Really fantastic. I wrote on my refrigerator “consistency over time will get you there“, but there were so many other quotes that I heard while running that I need to go back and listen to it.
Great discussion. The concept of desire/interest in what to do next. The concept of what do you find interesting to then choose to do it. Not demanding you do it. I've waffled on my childhood and what i did and why. Was i demanded to do it and then did i enjoy it. During or after it. I enjoyed the sports I wanted to play. Not the ones i was forced to play. I've done a few endurance events. One was trauma and I wasn't convinced I wanted to do it. But the collective friends/experience was fun in the end. During, not so much. I was forced to go to the beach and sit in the hot sun or the cold water. I went recently as an adult and wow it was so much better, to make the choice to go and do it. To run for fun and enjoy it, way better. One serious thing to consider is a coach for a true long distance event is nutrition and pace. During the one long event, 4 hours. tough mudder, at altitude and cold temps. People, me too, bonked. Hard and serious. People were curled up on the side with cramps that wouldn't go away. Hypothermia. It is real and needs to be discussed before hand. To understand it and know when to stop and ask for help. Being with a partner is very helpful. A good coach or friend can set you up for better success. But know when to fold and step out.
I have completed a few 5ks, 10ks and 1 half marathon . All within this last year when I started running due to the insistence of my wife. I have never thought of doing such things. The talk about being curious and discovering what my body can do is indeed an adventure. My takeaway....we can do more than we think we can if we give it time and slowly build up to it.. safely. I have signed up to do the 50k dead horse ultra in Moab Utah this November without having done a full marathon 😅. It seems crazy doing this at 46 years old but It is going to be a great adventure.
I am one of those that went from my first 5k straight to a marathon at 46 years old. I trained for my first 5k from July to October. In late December I decided I was going to train for a March marathon. I was a bit disappointed at the time with a 3:41:xx finish but have since realized it was a pretty big accomplishment for that small amount of training. I loved attacking the training block to try to reach a goal, but I fell into that trap of not having a purpose after the race and just quit the running for the most part for the next 8 months. I feel I’ve grown a bit as I picked running back up the January and have run consistently for the past 5 months with no goal or race scheduled. I am trying to separate/differentiate the love of achievement from the love of just running.
When I was in college, we went spearfishing at night. Within 30 minutes we had to get out of the water due to a friend being stung by jellyfish "Portuguese man of war". Things that go bump in the night in deep dark waters.😱
Hi. Today, along my 10 miler, while listening to this one, couldn’t help my self feeling part of that story. Military background, that sense of “caos is another form of organization”. Thanks for what has been done with our brothers who served. Cheers from Portugal
Speaking of consistency, thanks for bringing such consistently good content Floris! I have been so inspired by you and your guests over the past couple of years.
Longevity and consistency are superpowers. This rings so true. It might take longer than expected, but sticking with the work helps you overcome a lot.
Love this podcast, advice and message. “Longevity and consistency wins” … it’s about having the right perspective, Chris is right on there will always be faster, stronger ones. That’s not what it’s about. The conversation about being prepared for the down that comes after a big adventure is impactful, it’s true. “Keep it weird” 🙌 Floris 🙌
Love this! Particularly appreciate the words of wisdom related to mental fortitude. Building the comfort and compassion with ourselves for whatever arises as we take on various challenges.
i loved this! all of it. if i'd choose a specific part it would be the part of self talking to yourself right before you get home to your family, friends, or whoever deciding to wash whatever off and be whoever you want to be at that moment. i am 3 months into trail running and into running in general ( only did a couple of runs and challenges randomly before that but never had an idea what i was doing) and now my eyes are on my Ultra trail debut running a 53km local trail race late in september!

I enjoyed the story how the guys got their marathon running done despite the adverse conditions they were facing, like buying cheap treadmills so that the guys who were detained at the airport could run! 🙌 That's commitment and resilience, alright 😂
Ensuring you're idea's and practices are correct or on the correct path by discussing and lisening to people with different or opposiing idea's is important (validiation or adaptation of thoughts and practices through adversity) That is my favorite takeaway from this podcast, well that is what I took away from it anyhow.
Floris, I am new to low heart rate training and a have 2 questions: 1- I am 73, slim and have always either walked or ran, though never fast. Should I set my alarm at 107, 112 or 117? 2- what is the book you most recommend that can guide me? I love your TH-cam and Podcast and have already experienced quite a few. Thanks!

Crushed it @elliotendures6109, well done on your running journey! This is just the beginning, keep at it. Glad you enjoyed this conversation. Cheers
I feel the same. Thx for sharing. And how is it 10 mths later?

This episode deserves a million views. So impactful, loved every second of it.

Chris Haunt, thank you!
This was my favorite of all your podcasts so far. Very useful just at a human level. Great stuff.
I loved your reaction, Floris, to the swimming in the dark. Hilarious.
haha just the thought of it alone scares me big time!

Listening here in Canada 🇨🇦 while running!! Education and helps me pass the kms!!

Mental toughness is a muscle--I love this! So important to remember at all running distances. Thanks for another fantastic podcast!
Great channel

Spot on Scott, some of the most underestimated tools available!
Another great episode with so many great takeaways! The long-term power of consistency is so underrated.
Great takeaway and happy to hear that!

Love listening to all your conversations while out on my run. Loved comment about consistency, 100% true!
I need to dream bigger, and I need to get out of my comfort zone.
I’ve just started running! With a goal in mind. Half marathon next year hopefully?!
Excellent, enjoy your half marathon training and racing journey ahead. Let me know how it goes!
I love "who is the athlete I want to be a year from now" - that is alot of fun to think about.

food for thought 🤔 thanks

LMNT shipping to EU is very expansive, is there a place where we can get it in EU? The same for Ketone-IQ...
great channel!! Join us for the Authentic Marathon
Floris, I am new to low heart rate training and a have 2 questions:
