The 4 takeaways from the article as discussed were (How I interpret it):
1. In many cases total volume is most important, not how we break up the sessions to get there.
2. Don't be completely obsessed with specific workouts but rather cater them to how your body responds to them and be event specific.
3. Focus on Recovery.
4. Coming out of injury or illness etc. monitor yourself during a run and don't force yourself through discomfort.
I saw an angry comment that was deleted mentioning how this is clickbait. They used they article as a anecdotal reference point but their discussions weren't at all a mandate. These are takeaway points to be internalized and implemented into your own training according to your own circumstances.

Great discussion guys
I've cut back recently and my numbers have improved ✅

Hard to extrapolate F1 technology to the family auto

Coach Parry and Ntutu, warm greetings from Uganda, East Africa 🙌

[@z0uLess]

it could be the change itself, meaning that doing less is worth the most when you have been doing more for a long time

[@chandraau1475]

Great conversation! I appreciated the breakdown and insight, it certainly helps me quite a bit!

[@jonb9194]

Assuming the body uses the same or similar processes to both repair and adjust (grow) from training, it makes a ton of sense to cut a longer workout in half and do it in two parts with adequate time and nutrients between. In the second half of a long workout, cortisol is constantly elevated, accelerating the damage from breakdown. It's been my sense for years now that it's very easy to reach the body's maximum capacity to productively grow from a single training stimulus. Any diversion of resources and capacity into repair steals from the desired adaption/growth/adjustment.

Good format. Nice to listen to a conversiation.

[@Ivesy85]

Huge difference between a pro with bulk time to train and amateur with limited time not comparable

[@garyknight8616]

100%. I have to stop letting ego getting in the way of an honest assessment of my own readiness to train or race. PS I'm a slow amateur!

[@fewerthebetter]

Same here bro. Been struggling to get better at my running and find that increasingly it's getting regressive the more I am training harder.

[@anthonymwanje8398]

Nice to see Ntutu😅

Going to hazard a guess that his skiing isn't resort skiing, but alpine touring/ back-country- meaning he is walking up the hills, and not sat on lifts!

[@Gillibrand65]

So the guy was still running 180 to 200km per week 😮

[@anwarmoerat2355]

Everyone body is different, everyone progress is measured by our own barometer we set

[@yashpalsingh3085]

What is your opinion about barefoot running as some are adamant for barefoot running

[@zakkie04]

Have you guys ever tried skitouring?

[@henrycook6376]

My wife is a Zumba instructor and ran a 5k with no training at all : 35minutes! She was sore for a week though.

[@dliedke]

Dancing, surfing, weight training, running, cycling, skiing, no sports is the same. Everything is a different impact to the body.

[@chuckschreiber2365]

Come on guys. After being burned numerous times by athletes and celebrities who had great comebacks or remarkable bodies or performances., only to find out later they didn’t achieve it ‘naturally’, you can understand my skepticism.

You still need to do long runs ... I disagree ... chopping off runs will not build endurance as much as if you run for a long time... running 10 miles is different than 20 miles!! I do not trust articles I trust real-life experience as a runner I used to run 10 km every day, and one time I tried 16 KM, I felt lactate in my legs from 12 KM and started slowing down very badly!
