I'm runner from the Czech Republic, so really glad you made this video! Cheers
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
@@goranwinblad Very much! I must also admit I was touched a little bit when you mentioned the soviet invasion to our country and what it meant for our people, at least for those with the heart in the right place (as per the Emil's example). It's great to see this hasn't been forgotten not only in Czech Republic!
He is literally, mi great grandfather, i'm grateful for his genetic legacy.
Not a lot of people know about the great Emil Zatopek. Thanks for making this awesome video.
My pleasure! 😊
I have practised Zatopek training system for years. It is very joyful. I am from his country and we have lots of races for his memory.
This video will get you over the 100k mark. You should start preparing a memorial video next. By the way, love how you train and narrate the story in parallel. Very well done and inspiring! 💪🏼👍🏼😊
Thanks glad to hear 😁
@@goranwinblad And you did it! Congrats Göran! 🎉
Goran Winblad This was very inspiring in more ways than one. Not only have you demonstrated the Zatopek method of training, but you have described the spirit necessary for the protection of our integrity and ethics in these dark times.
Thanks glad to hear 😊
Thank you for the very best running channel. You are so cool. Great video, great imagination. I’m 68 and have run pretty much daily for 54 years. I’m blown away by your enthusiasm and humbleness. You are a great great man. Less you❤️
Wow, thank you, glad to hear, good luck with your trail running 😊
Zatopek is a legend. His training is really great and unique for his time
There is a book write by Jean Echenoz called "run". Is a biography of Zatopek. 10/10.
I remember when I first heard of him from my grandma, back in the days I never knew that I will be into running. She recalled when she watch him run the Olympics and how great he was. What a legend!
And congrats on the 100k subs! very well deserved :)
Cheers!
Ok that’s cool to hear, thanks 🥳
Hi Goran, I´m from the Czech republic living near Emil Zatopek birthplace. Thanks for the very nice and inspiring video!
Hi! Ok that’s cool to hear, glad you liked it! 😊
Nearly on 100k subs Goran. Well deserved!!
🎉
Happy to see his story mentioned in an english video, more people should know him! Cheers from Czechia 🇨🇿
Thanks for this episode. This one of the most beautiful tracks I've ever seen. Nice views and nature around it! I can reccomend czech movie Zatopek (2021) that documents his beginnings and biggest milestones
Well done! The only runner I know of who cam enear to emulating the great Zatopek was Lasse Viren, who in 1976 won gold over 5000 and 10000 and then, just for the hell of it, ran the marathon (his first ever) and finished an amazing fifth.
What a great topic Goran! I'm Slovak, we're neighbours with Czechs and we used do be in one country before1993, I'm not a fan of that milestone when our countries made decision to go each it's own way further as for many of us Slovaks and Czechs too, many of us still feel like brothers. I'm familiar of Zatopek great running story, it was also filmed and it really worth to see. Thank you so much to bring up his story. He's a great inspiration for runners! Like how you decided to try Emil's key workout to show how hard it used to be at that long time ago.
I am also from Czech republic and I also train running. Zátopek is a legend, thanks for your video.
Congratulations for 100k in advance bro 🎉🎉
Thank you so much 😀 🥳
Emil's epic triple will never be achieved again. Nice video Goran.
"I shall learn to have a better style once they start judging races according to their beauty"
That is brilliant!
Great video on a great guy. Part of his nutrition routine was good Czech beer. He played an important role in the Czech freedom movement of 1968 and had to endure the disadvantages imposed by the regime. He was very popular here in Germany - known as the "Czech locomotive"
Thanks and thanks for adding the additional info, such a inspiring guy!
Congrats on 100k subs!
Thank you!! 🥳
Congratulations to 100.000 subscribers!🎉😊
Thank you! 😃
Sjukt bra jobbat Göran, verkligen imponerade!
Tack!
It would be interesting to try Igloi's training philosophy next!
Thanks for the tip will look it up!
More videos like this please. Fantastic! What a man he must have been. Deepest respect for him not betraying his country and submitting to the Soviets. Passion and strength!
I saw Zatopek in the thumbnail and I clicked.
Thank you for this video, as another runner from Czechia :)
I also recommend checking out movie about him from 2021, called simply "Zátopek"
Thanks for the tip, do you know we’re it can be seen with English subtitles?
@@goranwinblad I think it should be available on apple tv
I didn't know about how his career ended. What a legend!
Training wise it was always his CO2 tolerance training aka breath hold training that stood out the most to me. Maybe an idea for an upcoming video
Also I just need to express my envy. You can have a track day and still get the beautiful views of a rare trail run. That must surely help motivation 😅
The army boots is actually sort of a myth. It was most likely so he didn't sprain his ankles while running during evenings and nights as that was the only time he had time for training during army training/service.
Yeah it was probably more out of necessity than that it actually is any training advantage of running in boots.
@@goranwinblad I don't think so. In one of the books about him, the Army Chief of Staff was often giving him time off to train when others have beaten his WRs.
@@goranwinblad Yes, he needed some kind of shoes that were better then the running shoes of the era or even the high top basketball/general sports shoes of time even if the person had the training shoes. As he did this running in winter too when most road runners until March would stop running in winter or were track exclusive running the indoor events of the era and training in places that had the old indoor 10 to 12 lap tracks. Very few track people did the Marathon except as a fall back event for the Olympics as there was no limit to the amount of qualified runners from a country for the Marathon as that event was not really raced except in the Boston Marathon that did not adopt the standard 26.2 mile or 42 kilometer event until 1920 when almost all true Marathons by that point used the current distance.
I am finally injured again. After many years I fell in the garden (yes...) and torn a ligament in the foot. 6-8 weeks break from running ahead.
In this sense, I'd appreciate a video on how to keep fit for running while injured.
My season has not yet started and is already over 😢
Sorry to hear about your injury! Thanks for the suggestion maybe in the future I will do a video like that 😊
Really sorry to hear about your injury. I've had many ankle ligament injuries over the years, re football / squash, that would put paid to any load bearing/high impact activity for a month or two. What worked for me is to continue with good cardio "non-load bearing" training i.e. Concept2 rowing (was able to do a Half Marathon with a swollen foot!), or cycling (indoor maybe?) if possible. Anything that a) doesn't cause any problems to the injury but b) will work the Cardio system to reduce atrophy, enable an easier return to running when you're back. Also, I'd have a bucket of cold (not too icy water) to place foot in whilst watching TV. Easier then messing around with ice-packs etc. Best of luck and hope you recover soon.
@@halley4032 thank you so much for the kind words and advice!
I love your contents!
Is so so helpful!
I was wondering whether you'll mention Zatopek's training sessions one day as I'm from Czechia too 😃 thank you for another nice video, Gorän 👏
Of course I had to do a video about him such an inspiring person 😁 Glad you liked it 😊
Great video! Now teach us about Arthur Lydiard!
Thanks! Will do probably do a video about him in the future!
good job for your 100k subs 🥳
Thanks 🥳
Thank you for introducing the Legend to the new generation. Thoughts of doing something for the great Finns, Nurmi and Viren?
Goran, I'm a football player who is used to doing sprints and power lifts. I'm getting into distance running so my plan is to do slower jogs a few days per week and one interval training session per week. Thanks for the videos.
Wow that was so great 🧡 I would love to see this kind of video about Stylianos Kyriakides and Yiannis Kouros 🤩 keep up the great work! Subscribed 👍
Glad to hear 😊 Thanks for your suggestions 😁
Really interesting. Great work 👍🏃🏻♂️💪
Thank you 🙌
Excellent video as always … really nicely put together 👍
Many thanks! 😊
About the whole “running while carrying his wife on his shoulders” rumor: Zatopek’s wife was the Olympic javelin gold medalist in 1952. She was bigger than him.
Well ,growing ip in Czechoslovakia ,this was part of pre season in football training ,to run with other player on your back .
Logicaly you are not going to run 400m like this ,but short 3x 10 meters repetitions .
Hana Zatopek was not huge ....🤣 and with Emil's determination he will cary her on his back 100%
Our biggest race in Australia, is...the Zatopek 10,000.......that's how good he must have been, to have his name as a legacy, on the other side of the world !!
Hallo from czech rep ❤🇨🇿 thx for this content 🥰
Hello 😊 glad you liked it 😁
Hi from Canada Goren. Zatopek is one of my heroes. Not sure the opening video is of him though.
Hi! You are absolutely right a mistake by me, have changed the intro of the video now, thanks for pointing it out!
Paavo Nurmi 9 Olympic gold, 3 Olumpic silver. He is Greatest Olympic Runner of all time!
Great video Goran! That's an amazing track, where is that?
Thanks! Yeah it really is, it’s outside of Sarpsborg in Norway.
Good vidéo 👍
Thanks!
Hallo Göran, Where is that wonderful track in Norway? All the best with your great channel
Hey! It’s outside of Sarpsborg
Almost 100k subs!
🤯🥳
Австралиец Алан Лоуренс ( бронза на 10000 м в 1956 году) также тренировался, бегая интервалы по 400 м. Только один раз в неделю он позволял себе бежать их быстро, в остальные дни он не бегал их быстрее 80 секунд. И бежал 10000 м быстрее 29 минут по земляной дорожке. Отсутствие длительных пробегов не позволяло ему бежать марафон быстрее 2.23
Similar is Runner Roger Banister, a training like him would be very fun to see.
I always look forward to your next video🌈👍🏻😘😊
Yay! Thank you! 😊
Cool story! Thanks.
Glad you enjoyed it! 😊
Very nice video!😊
Thank you! 😃
People talk much in running channels now that you gotta run slow to run fast, I've not put that to a test myself but made great results from running pretty intensively all my runs (even recovery runs).
I AM TRANNING LIKE EMIL.
I meant “Bless you.” I run trails and never concrete if I can help it.
Hey Göran.
Nice video as always :-)
You should check Kilian Jornet out(im sure You know him). Maybe making a similar video with he’s training methods.
Kind regards from a “Old” orienteering-runner from Denmark ;-)
Thanks! Yeah I'm a huge fan of Kilian and will probably make a video about him in the future, thanks for the suggestion!
Didn't he also once donate one of his medals to another great runner who had never won his own medal? Ron Clarke?
youtube compression hates you lol
What do you think about running barefoot and would you do it
For the first time barefoot users it is quite hard on the calves, but the body will get used to it over time. When I ran first time in barefoots ( only easy 5k on a track ), my legs were destroyed at least for 3 days, and I wasn't able to run. But my friend from athetic club runs only in barefoots, since winter 2022, and he managed to run great times in them - 3000m about 9:30 on road.
but I recommend running less in them at the beginning, and gradually increasing the distance, pace and load, according to your feelings - It shouldn't be painful
For some people it's very suitable ( maybe for their running anatomy - as for my friend ), but for me it wasn't for sure
@@matejkapral don't your feet change shape over time too
@@whitecloudmountainminnowpr6353 I don't know about changing shape of your foot due to running in barefoot, but I know that your foot fingera will be in more relaxed position, and your running anatomy and the impact of the foot on the ground will be better, healthier and more efficient
I thought this was referring to Paavo Nurmi! Zatopek was also great, but I have to stick with Paavo Nurmi as the best ever. He won 9 gold, 3 silver in 3 different Olympics. Whereas Zatopek won a total of 4 golds and 1 silver.
Yeah we all have our favourites and different opinions and Nurmi was for an incredible runner and for sure is the most winning Olympic runner, but to me greatness is not measured in number of medals. What makes Zatopek the greatest in my mind is the way he was and the impact he made both as a runner and person.
@@goranwinblad Jag förstår. ; )
@@goranwinblad100 % agree
100k inspired people 🏃🏻♂️💨
Soon 😁🥳
Can you make a video on barefeet running and the whole barefoot thing in general??
Sir plz make video on sub 3:50 min workout and plz suggest me to what i do that to achieve sub 3:50 min target plz reply
Should that not a black dude?
Great video Goran. And congrats on 100k in advance! Well deserved, super content
Thanks a ton! 🥳
Very cool. Did not know about this runner. Very inspiring!
Glad you liked it! 😊
Woah! I'm so happy for this video! Thank you for putting time and effort into it! Greetings from Czechia :)
Glad you enjoyed it! 😁
Great to learn a legend from Czech. It is amazing to know that his last Olympics medal was a last-minute decision of his first marathon race. It just pays out for what he believe about the hard work 👍
Yeah what he did on that marathon is so cool!
Zatopek had never raced a marathon before, so his plan on race day was to cheerfully introduce himself to the world record holder, Jim Peters of Great Britain, and ask if he could run alongside him. Sensing his new rival’s inexperience, Peters chose to set an aggressive pace in hopes of breaking the Czech runner. Around the halfway point, Zatopek asked Peters, “isn’t this pace a little fast?” Attempting to play mind games against his seemingly discouraged foe, the Brit responded that their current pace was too slow.
Zatopek took that as his cue to leave Peters in his dust, and ran away to the gold medal in record time.
@@fishflake1209 epic
@@fishflake1209 And that's why you don't mess with the Zatopek.
"You must listen to your body. You must feel hard, and you must feel easy." Wonderfully profound, especially when in a race or intense intervals. Knowing how to make hard efforts feel easy is such an amazing skill!
Wow, thanks for this! Really beautifully done and interesting video. Especially interesting to me was how you showed his training regime. I read a book about Zátopek's life called Today we die a little, it was amazing read and I really value him for his character and ethics. I loved when he said this, which I think also describes how he lived: “Great is the victory, but the friendship of all is greater.”
Congrats to 100k Göran!! 🎉
mr Zátopek = ,,lokomotive" Zatopek . . . ; they name after 2010 new czech Lokomotive from Skoda - Pilsen (Skoda E380 Emil), new 3 system electric loco
mr Emil was doing marathon first time at his life - when he won
Not only did Emil have a slightly inefficient stride lots of greats do not have a super efficient stride like Paula Radcliffe with her head was as if she had no internal mechanism for stabilizing the head ever with her known to have thrown her head out of alignment hand have it stuck in a kink while running and was known to weave during some marathons she ran if she was struggling yet somehow would pull off the win most of the time unless she was weaving with her body where she would then often collapse and not her running line she took where she was struggling for different reasons due not to the hot weather but the competition and her fitness on that day.
Does zatopek running intervals everyday?
If I ran in my old army boots, I'd break my ankles.
100k!! Congratulations! 🎉 you have earned it, i always enjoy your content and cant wait to see what's next!
Thanks so much!! 🥳
Running with hiking boots or add weights to the legs?
One of your best videos yet! One of the Emil stories that really struck me was how he gave away gold medal to Ron Clarke. Amazing person indeed. You may want to look into Easy Interval Method by Klaas Lok, a Dutch runner. It is based on same interval principle, but intervals are run at much more manageable pace to keep you fresh (often 3-5k pace).
Thanks! 😁
This video is of such great quality! The amount of angles and nice transitions is unbelievable. This kind of topic is very interesting and teaches you about the history of running and the culture. Now, I’m of to a slow run in the park. 👍
Thanks for your nice comment glad you liked it and hope you had a great run!
One of the beauties of training in ways others are unwilling to, is that you don’t need to keep it a secret. Nobody will copy you anyway. A lot like Pre in the race. Pre welcomed competition because he believed he was more willing to suffer. Emil was likewise more willing to suffer (but in training).
Yeah that’s true 😊
So, Ive been doing this running thing a bit more seriously a couple of years. And it seems like you dont really need easy/distance runs but could rather be at threshold almost every run when you listen to for example this. I run about 50km a week- should I rather then increase distance increase intensity? There seems to be different perspectives on this 😅
George sheehan said, you are an experiment of one. I suppose he meant do what works for you.
Love the info on a great historical figure.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Congrats on 100k, keep up the good work
Thanks a ton! 🥳
Fantastic episode ❤
Thanks 😊
so close to 100k subs
Yeah hoping for tomorrow 🥳
Great!!
Thanks 😊
