OMG I absolutely love this!!!!! I’m looking to grow my small business and I also just started the second week of training for my 15th marathon……I guess over the years I’ve sort of forgotten “if I can run a marathon I can do anything” so glad I got that reminder from this video!!!
What an effective way to teach and apply business concepts with students and keep them motivated! Wish you were still teaching this course so my son could take it but I will be encouraging him to run a marathon and support him all the way as I couldn't agree more in the valuable lessons learned from this to teach all those life skills!
Yes, your life doesn't have to be based on chance; life can be a choice. It's how you shape your life that matters. As Oscar Wilde would put it, "To live is the rarest thing in the world. Most people exist, that is all."
As much as I love running (I do), I wouldn't recommend anyone "to set scary goals" week after week... that's a recipe for disaster - shin splints, stress fractures, etc... Same thing with going from "out of shape" to "complete a marathon in 26 weeks"... Take it easy. Enjoy your training sessions. Plan resting weeks with half the distance to ensure your body adapts and builds strength up. There is no rush! The marathon will be equally satisfying to complete if you training safely for 40 weeks instead of 26.
Hal Higgins has an 18 week training plan for Novice Runners, I assume as a runner you know who that is. He is not telling people to Qualify for Boston, He is saying just complete one. I feel like you missed the entire point.
Higdon's plan assumes a bit of a running base just to start. You have to be able to run a 6 mile long run the first week. The point of this message is, in part, to set smaller, manageable goals that seem difficult, and then meet them.
You missed the point. It's about business and perseverence. It's about changing negative habits and instilling good ones. The running of a marathon is just a tangible example that consistency, dilligence, and resilience in small steps each day can achieve massive results in the future.
I traing to find this clear mind set that what is best way to teach youth to discover their highest potential. Fainaly I fund in this video that tacnical skill , tacnical training will give you job But if you develop character skill, life skill, you will find work that will you of life. Now I am 100% what I should to teach to youth in the world
I am watching, When I recieved the Marathon, announcement, at my city of Keeramangalam. Please reach me, if anyone of here practicing for marathon first time
Eylon Mogilner You are wrong and right at the same time. You are wrong because humans survived for hundreds of thousands of years by being the best long distance runners on the African savanna, approximately running from 4 to 8 hours per hunt. You are right because many of us have done so little training that a marathon is just too far, especially without training.
Not sure what your argument is. Of course Africans knew you couldn’t sprint for 8 hours straight, but more or less continuous running for many hours is still very natural for humans. (Running not sprinting). Search BBC endurance hunt or read the book born to run for further information
I was thinking the same thing, but at least for me, realized that this was just an excuse. There are many marathon training programs and groups surrounding them that offer much of the structure a class would offer. A search of "marathon training group" pulls up examples in most cities. There are also the "couch to 5k" and "couch to half marathon" programs. There, in one short typing session, I have just destroyed all of my reasons for not running a marathon. YMMV.
Whilst the ethics and ethos i agree with here, getting students below a certain age to run 26.2 is not a good idea and could cause long term injuries....what say you?
I think this may only work for those who can't run a mile. There are a ton of people out there who can run marathons in their sleep back to back days. You want to learn patience and grit? Try a 100 mile ultramarathon.
Bro, I am a runner, running everything from 5Ks to 50Ks and I just like running. Of course you need grit now and then but the joy of running is much more important for long-term success
He's talking about people who are not runners training for a marathon. That is a very hard thing to do and will involved quite a lot of pain, soreness and fatigue. Some of them will learn to love running, but all of them will feel the torture of that schedule at that moment in their running journey.
Everyone has it in them to run a marathon. If you can run a 5K you can run a 10K and if you can run a 10K you can run a half and if you can run a half you can run a full.
Я рыдаю! Мужик реальность для меня открыл заново! Увидел себя в режиме многозадачности и без конкретно определённого будущего! и Я так не хочу! Очень интересует, есть ли в Казахстане клубы по подготовке к Марафону. Подскажите, если кто знает?
Attack? I'd place it more between strong-opinion and attack. Proselytising yes, but in his defence, he was trying to make the message simple and fit in to a 12 minute TED talk. Perhaps with a 30 minute slot - instead of saying "run a marathon" - he'd have said "try something tough that you've never done before, that's hard, that you have to set goals for, that will have difficulties and that you can complete in say, 6 months. Maybe you'd choose to complete a marathon, a triathlon, maybe you'd choose to help out at a homeless shelter, maybe you'd ............". Can you imagine the title of the talk?
You did listen to her story, didn't you? Congratulations on being faster than a middle-aged woman who had a hip replacement and was recovering from being seriously out of shape. Her story sounded like quite an accomplishment to me.

Grit and Tenacity - The two things that will determine your success as a young entrepreneur.
This was a great talk!

Running marathons and achieve better and better times is a big point.
Powerful talk. This confirms I am on the right track as I have held this exact mindset.
Tonîa Алсу́ Skubala , you are very right
I will run a marathon. It's awesome

agreed!
ahh here come the nay sayers
Like it so much Sir Andrew.
Many thanks from Indonesia.
So true. So, so true.
Great TED

This is fantastic, thanks TED!
Amazing Amazing my professor
Great Job Buddy!!! Thank Youuuu!!
Brilliant talk. Sandy is very inspiring
It's very useful for me
I have done an Ironman, but I still find it hard to apply the discipline of training for that to my career and business in general.
Do another one, and another one, until it sticks
Do a FULL IM and marathon will look like candies :)
Thanks dude!
how to eat an elephant...one bite at a time That is my favorite. GREAT
totally agree!!! thanks!
love it fully, Putting up on my blog
nice one 🌿☘️🌿☘️
I am watching, When I recieved the Marathon, announcement, at my city of Keeramangalam.

Love it!
only that Marathon is not good for your heart.
A physical discipline is important, especially if it is too some extent mindful.

8 hours NON-stop? doesn't sound like an African mentality. They knew to listen to a pounding heart and let it rest for a short while. for sure.
Not sure what your argument is. Of course Africans knew you couldn’t sprint for 8 hours straight, but more or less continuous running for many hours is still very natural for humans. (Running not sprinting). Search BBC endurance hunt or read the book born to run for further information
Good ideas 😉👍
i wish all colleges had this course. I like running so this would be perfect for me.
I was thinking the same thing, but at least for me, realized that this was just an excuse.

thank you
Awesome
Sir my confusion is that
Education is right or business is right what to do
Whilst the ethics and ethos i agree with here, getting students below a certain age to run 26.2 is not a good idea and could cause long term injuries....what say you?
I think this may only work for those who can't run a mile. There are a ton of people out there who can run marathons in their sleep back to back days. You want to learn patience and grit? Try a 100 mile ultramarathon.
Cody L I am on the way to becoming one of those and I can tell you that there are really few who can do a marathon a day for long.
Then dont be so literal. Apply his advice accordingly 😊
Ugh this guy's style makes me cringe at times. But good talk
Lol
cyoungrun1 lol
Very powerful content. But ending didn't click. Don't mind pls.
thank you very intéressent
he acts like running is total torture...but what if somebody actually enjoys running?
The torture is the enjoy :)
Then I guess you're already at the head of the business class.
It's still work and you still have to push yourself through the pain... I have a feeling you aren't a runner lol
Bro, I am a runner, running everything from 5Ks to 50Ks and I just like running. Of course you need grit now and then but the joy of running is much more important for long-term success

True, but the challenge is will they actually do it
Я рыдаю! Мужик реальность для меня открыл заново! Увидел себя в режиме многозадачности и без конкретно определённого будущего! и Я так не хочу!
Очень интересует, есть ли в Казахстане клубы по подготовке к Марафону.
Подскажите, если кто знает?
Looks like your keyboard's broken: all the letters look corrupted. ..... Kidding.
Good message, obnoxious proselytising attack

sweaty
Ringing the little bell on the handlebars? How lame! Get a Zounds Air Horn! (LOUD!)
his voice tone drives me nuts. i had to adjust the volume every f* minute -..-
pipiwaem34 me 2 😂
great message but this guys style is a bit much
QuiteInteresting Too much for you, the problem is with you, i had none.
fair enough
7 hours on a marathon? Are you joking?
I *walk* the distance in 6.5 hours.
The marathons I take part in has a 5.5 hours cutoff.
she had a hip replacement.
You did listen to her story, didn't you? Congratulations on being faster than a middle-aged woman who had a hip replacement and was recovering from being seriously out of shape. Her story sounded like quite an accomplishment to me.
I'm guessing you don't have an artificial hip?
I don't like to run so rip me
goofy............and OVER-REACTING..... obviously his parents were maladjusted engineers lol
