Love seeing the embrace of general fitness in the natty lifting community. This is how you maintain a lifetime relationship with fitness. Being flexible and allowing goals to change - not being insane with specificity for no reason.
I’m so hungry
@@MMAJOEY69 eat
General Fitness is the way to go. There is no rule that reads you have to focus on one particular exercise, that's just an individual's choice to focus on one aspect.
😂

Running is a great partner of lifting. Lifting teaches discipline and consistency. Running teaches you how to get through suffering and know that you'll be OK.
💯
This is how i feel about kettlebell swings. Im a little to fat to do the running thing.
Suffering is not ok for running / weights...learn correct technique / intensity zone 2 and it will even give you gains in the weight room
Most of your running should be in Zone 2 and 3. But you should also do some internal training at Zone 4 and 5. You're going to have to push yourself mentally and physically if you want real progress. That applies to the gym, and the track.
@@tjcogger1974
Hummm zone 2 (peter attia) for health and it wont f your knees up for the weights
Yes I love the mental benefits of just disconnecting and going for a run, it’s really refreshing honestly
Do you use music?
you look great
I don't use music
Alan's transition into Crossfit is almost complete *evil laugh*
@@RpMcMurphy_ But, I thought CrossFit invented all fitness......
He's strong, knows the oly lifts, and can run... He'd be a menace at crossfit lmao
@@jordanbabcock Crossfit has strongman events now too lol
@@jordanbabcock Well, that's the case with all the top crossfit competitors. They don't kill themselves with WODs, they do actual effective training.
Crossfit? Are you nuts?
Rocky III influenced me too. The training montage of Mr. T (Clubber Lang) in his grimy, basement gym, grinding out sit-ups while Rocky was screwing around before their first fight, always got to me.
“What’s you prediction for this for fight?”
“Prediction?”
“Yes prediction”
“Paaaaaaaaiiiiiiinnnnnn”
"I'mma buss you up"
I’m a collegiate distance runner. Your channel, Zack Telander, and Sika Strength have helped improve my running by teaching me how to get stronger to improve my racing. On top of that the psychology you guys apply to lifting has helped me in running. So thank you for that! You guys were the outside influences to expose me to a method of exercise I will do for the rest of my life. I think people get stuck in labeling themselves As only a runner or a lifter and miss out on becoming a more capable person. Specializing in only one results in missing out on expressing the strength of your body in all of its forms.
I used to argue with my cross country coach, she thought runners didn’t need resistance training. I think it’s vital to be strong as a runner
Sikastanian
You should look up to Nick bare.
Do you also follow any running TH-camrs?
Zack has a multisport background, growing up swimming and playing lacrosse. He's been the strength coach for 2 different NCAA swim programs... his ex is an Olympic swimmer 🇫🇷
The hybrid athlete was always my favourite book when I was studying as it was proof you could be a multi sport athlete with intelligent programming.
Check out Fergus Crawley for pushing hybrid athleticism to it's very limits. Dude does ironman-length triathlons and competitive powerlifting.
I've recently started running again as well, love your content and nice to see so many others in the comments on the same journey!
Amazing to hear this from you. I do both running and powerlifting and this coming from you really helps. Looking forward to more running+ strength videos
Time after time, you keep inspiring me to do what I feel like doing and not care about random people's opinions.
Man I am so excited to see this mini series of videos. I’ve been a long time watcher, your tutorials got me on the right track as a beginner and in two weeks time I am running my first ever marathon after months of prep. Live your work Alan - RUN UNTAMED !!!
I'm excited about this series. I have been struggling with running for years now, ever since I started really making progress in the gym.
Really looking forward to the rest of this content! I was a 1/2 marathon runner who moved into lifting 5-6 years ago. Trying to keep up the running but wasn't sure how to move forward with it.
Been a long distance runner/marathoner for 20+ years and just found barbell training a few months ago as a great supplement to training when timed and done appropriately. Really cool and relatable video, finding the same kind of joy in terms of getting into a new activity and reaping those beginner gains. Looking forward to the rest of the series!
Your videos are getting more and more wholesome. Thanks for recording and sharing these.
This is great! I used to only lift weights then 2 years ago my wife got me running and I completely stopped lifting. Now I am trying to figure out how to balance both. Looking forward to your upcoming videos.
i started running then got into lifting, i find myself constantly trying to balance both out like having a good mile time and trying to get my deadlift as high as i could lol it has been really difficult for me and I always go back and forth and ill have periods when ill ease off running and focus more on weight training and then do vice versa. Anyways at the end of the day I just love running and it has helped me out in so many ways and I use that as my way of dealing with stress and it helps me process things and just think things out.
I'm glad to see you touch on running Alan! you have always been an inspiration to me, and you got me into the strongman rabbit hole haha. If i could say one thing I highly recommend you look more into trail running, theres so many trails all around sacramento and tahoe is not too far out. Its a whole other beast compared to the track or running around the city and its just amazing being out there
RUN UNTAMMEDDDDD!!!!
I love this video so much. I constantly hear from people at my gym that I can't or I shouldn't be a powerlifter and a runner. I've done a handful of half marathons and I have another in October but at the same time I'm still hitting squat or deadlift PRs every few months. Honestly I love doing both and I can't imagine giving one of them up but it's still really encouraging to see an influencer that I admire as much as Alan talking about running in this way. I really wish more people would be open to doing both.
5-3-1 was my first powerlifting program and it's also when I stopped running and last winter I started running again after years and I'm loving it. I still lift but running is back in the menu and I feel amazing having my cardio back.
I'm doing my best to incorporate both. Currently have a half marathon coming in November. Was exclusively running when I started watching your videos to get back into lifting. Great to see you get into running.
Dude I absolutely love that you're talking about this. You're such a well-rounded athlete.
I just started running again after 17 years on not running more than 30. Thanks for making this series, most channels about running are a little too about that running life.
Great stories, I've always been a larger guy, 230-270ish powerlifter and last tear got into running especially trail running, my first race ever was a 50 mile ultramarathon and the feeling of accomplishment when finishing was unlike anything else I've ever felt as far as fitness goes. Running is a great tool for everyone to add in.
I subscribed 8 years ago when I was learning to squat. Happy to see your approach to wellness evolve over time
I have to say Alan, that joy you’ve found should inspire other people to go out there and find what makes them feel that way. Great job bro!
How do you structure those stories.... It's crazy how you go through all this in a understandable order without even having a paper to read from. And big props to your honesty and transparency. It's inspiring how confident you are to talk about all that stuff. Looking up to you mate.
Awesome!!! As someone trying to combine running and strength training, I’m really looking forward to this
Awesome Alan. Nice to see your progression into a older man and embracing things you enjoy regardless on what others think. You live #1 time. Keep it up brother!
Would love to hear:
1. How you’re balancing weight lifting and running
2. How/if your weight lifting has changed to accommodate running
2. How/if you feel that they are affecting each other
I like to know how your lift is pre vs post running into your routine.
I love Alan's self-awareness. Terrific video
This is fantastic to hear Alan. I run 20 miles a week and I lift for strength. You're my go to channel for all things lifting; keep it up!
I like what you said about the "being stuck".... I've been so committed to work, family and other things that it's been hard to get back into lifting (or any exercise). I'll use this video as inspiration to get back into the gym (ironically I have a full gym room in my house). This is my official commitment. I know Alan won't ever read this message, so it's a commitment to myself. I hope I'll find this comment in a year will have run over 300-miles by then and with time get back to squatting over 500lbs again. Thanks for the motivation, coach!! :)
I'm in the exact same situation. Thanks for sharing your experiences with strength training & running.
Awesome! Really looking forward to the following videos on running.
Totally feel ya!
I do enough weights help my trail running, that preps me for a bike ride, that sets up a swim, which is perfect recovery to go lift.
Running/ hiking in the middle of nowhere has done more for me than any doctor, therapy, life coach, job, school could do put together.
Big fan! Looking forward to the running videos
Trail and cross-country running is so pleasant. Glad to see you coming back to it!
Awesome video, I love your stories and thoughts on exercise. You are a very motivating person; keep up the great videos, I really enjoy these
Running is and will always be apart of my life. Trail running and on the tracks are where I let me mind wander.
I'm glad to hear you're going to be talking a bit about it. I always loved strength work, and didn't like running. Then I started running and I like doing both and like what they both do for my body for different reasons. But, I struggle sometimes with balancing the two. It'll be nice to get your perspective!
hey Alan I went to your gym for a bit pre covid while I was stationed in Northern Cali. Was 100% in on power lifting. Around the time covid happened I hurt my back. With many gyms closed and my back hurt I turned to running. It has become my obsession. Going somewhere with your feet is the best. I still maintain and lift around 4 times a week. I have definitely lost strength and weight but running has become my primary focus so I fully accept that. Doing a mountain marathon this weekend actually up a 14,000 ft mountain and back down with about 8000 ft of gain. Trail running has become even more of an obsession. Something about it feels so primal. Anyway so happy to see you doing these runs and races and hope to see more! Hope you're doing well buddy!
Bro I was a doc went through recon by soi, I appreciate you sharing everything man I want to get back into running again. Cool that you share
Excited about this series!
Thank you Alan! Looking forward to your next video as I struggle with lifting and running, ended up running exclusively because I prefer it
This is the Alan thrall we’ve come to know and love. Thanks for the inspiration today. Currently training for a half marathon in October and trying to balance lifting weights and running.
I just ran a half marathon with a 1170 pound power lifting total. It can be done! Enjoy. I'm also 34 and natty. You got this.
Love the story. Thanks for sharing. I never truly feel healthy if I'm not running at least twice a week.
I like to run. I like to lift. So I do both. Love your story and totally get the Rocky III thing. Thanks again for all your years of super informative videos.
That you for sharing this! My dad was an avid bodybuilder, and so I naturally picked it up. Both of us took up running, I got to run Boston, and my dad completed his first marathon in his mid-60s! It's completely natural to want to be strong and yet have the endurance that running gives you. Plus, running is a great anti-depressant... Go Alan Go!
I tried this before, and my musculature (being 6'4), deflated completely. Lifting 2X a week with intensity is enough.
Your physique in these running event pictures is tremendous for your age. Very inspiring along with your modesty and willingness to share!
@@almamater8091 the pictures were middle school high school genius
I love lifting weights! But now in my fifties I enjoy rotating running and swimming for overall health and fitness. Keep it going, Alan. Your overall health and fitness will enrich your life when you're my age.
Running and resistance training definitely complement each other, there's no buzz like a good run, keep it up man
This video and the comment section are the spur I've needed to intensify my cardio.
Thanks everyone. 🤙
Dude this is awesome. You are so right about running to become unstuck. I’m excited for this.
I've been getting back into running myself lately. Love that you're not afraid to mix your training up and not get hung up on niche shit like powerlifting.
Really excited for this!
Very excited. I’ve been trying to figure out how to balance powerlifting and running for a while. Can’t wait to hear your thoughts on it.
One of your best videos, Alan. I've recently taken up running again after 30 years off - loving it. BTW, you're looking great!
Awesome stuff. I’m lifting to get strong for footy but it’s good to know that provided I’m sensible I can keep up my running
Excited for you’re video on running, I’ve powerlifted for four-five years (sense 14) and during these past two years of general stagnation on powerlifting progress I joined the track team and have sense fallen in love with running, freshman year of community college I told myself I’d gain weight no matter what 150-163 and now that I’ve done so I’m honestly scared too get back into it, I’ve seen the progress from gaining weight and I fear the added stress of running 3-5 miles a day will kill my strength…but I mean if mike Tyson can do it lol
Haven't watched the channel for a long time. You look better and healthier to be honest. Wish you all the best!
Looking forward to the running videos!
I love this Allan I have really wanted to add a regular mile run to some of my goals.
Really thrilled about this new series 👌🏽
This is great, I've been considering incorporating running into my training for a while but have always been concerned that it'll interfere with my gains as I run a 3 day/week full body program. Looking forward to this series Alan! Thanks for all your awesome videos!
Excited for more running videos!
I love this video. I try so hard to be a weight lifter or gym rat. But I truly love running. I love the idea of lifting weights, but I can never give up running. Thank you.
Took me nearly 10 years after getting out of the Corps to run again. Idk if it was that it was my job and I just saw it that way, but I'm glad I started up again. Glad you're getting back after it.
I just started lifting but I want to start running to for health, no idea when or how to start. Can’t wait to watch this series.
Great timing - I've just started running again this summer. I dropped 30 lbs bodyweight earlier this year and was feeling weak in the gym. My PR board got erased. Running gave me something to improve on while I adjust to lifting at a lower bodyweight. I'm trying to keep running in the routine as well so I can't wait to hear your thoughts on it Alan.
Bro, i dunno if you are seeing this. 1st thing is you're literally changing weight class. That's mean everything is a PR and new stepping stone to more gain. Walking 30lbs lighter is a blessing for all of your organ man. Keep pushing.
Hey Alan, another runner/lifter here! Can't wait to hear more of your thoughts on how to balance the two disciplines. I probably lean more into running than you but strength training and running compliment each other a lot. Just look at where Ryan Hall is these days!
Really good video, anxious for the next ones
Awesome video Alan. I've always loved running for many of the same reasons as you, but it's definitely rare in most people. I try to incorporate weights with my running, but it's always a difficult balance. I'm looking forward to your next video!
great video Alaan, cheers from Argentina! i'm watching your videos since 2016
Love this! As a college student past high school sports now I have had much more time to devote to fitness. I have always battled with how much running I could fit into my routine, as I love running and lifting. Wanting both a sub 5 minute mile and a 500lb squat at the same time is hard. I was also a track/football athlete and like you, was trying to improve my fitness for summer conditioning while lifting weights--not the best combo, and also didn't know I was hurting my progress. Definitely hard to balance all of the genres of fitness but hey that's part of the fun
I love it! Not many people realize running takes your overall fitness to another level plus all the other benefits that come with it. Great video Alan👌
i think almost every human in existence realizes that
@@YungBapacito lol you can browse reddit fitness and powerlifting community and many people there think running is not necessary and lifting actually enough for your cardiovascular health..so yep, you are wrong. Majority of people dont really understand the benefits of running and cardiovascular training, which is basically a workout for your most important muscle in the body (heart muscle)
@@YungBapacito you can go to any gym and ask any bros there whether they run. I bet 90% of them dont run and afraid running will make them lose muscle. You overestimate how much people understand the value of cardio. Most people think cardio is only for fat people who want to lose weight. If regular gym goers dont want to run, what percentage of average people really understand the benefits of running? You said almost every human in existence? Lol
@@ggh_-ts6pn Tbf the reddit fitness subreddit is absolute garbage
As a 6’2 140lb stick, I respect any jacked folks who run regularly. Impressive
Just curious why do you follow a powerlifting channel?
You must have zero body fat!
@@davecom3 Or thin bones, a lanky physique. Height =/= size.
Unless you're a starving Somalian, I find it hard to believe you're 140 lbs at that height. But if you are, start eating.
Very inspiring video, I did start running at 14 or 15, in Costa Rica ( 36 years ago) because Rocky IV, there was ( still is) very steeped uphill road like Rocky running in Russia. Anyway, running, was my workout, i missed it , not doing it anymore due to arthritis and multiple dislocations in my knees. But, great outdoors exercise , sense of achivement. Thanks, coach Thrall.
When I was 25 I used to run at my old high school. I drive by often and think about those days. Maybe I'll get back to it. Thanks, Professor Thrall.
My story is similar to yours. Ultimately I find improved cardiovascular endurance is more valuable than lifting heavy in my daily life. I still weight train but rarely am I lifting refrigerators or similar but I am constantly running up and down stairs, etc. My colleagues are winded after a couple flights, I have no issues and feel better overall.
you have to think about how humans evolved. For ages our survival depended on running, climbing, dragging objects, and throwing. Our daily lives used to be so difficult and intense that training wasn't even a concept unless it was for hunting. Think about how kids play tag and hide and seek, those are years of evolutionary wiring preparing us for hunting.
I’m right there with you. I lifted heavy off and on for years, but I read that regular running literally reduces all chances for death and disease. Running seemed impossible at first for months, but now I crave running more than lifting.
More of a jump-roper and swimmer myself. Really enjoy those. Hey you’re looking super good man. God bless your family
💪🏻❤️👌🏻
I used to box growing up, and part of that training was a lot of running. Because of it, I loved running. But eventually I moved on to purely strength train. Years later, at the start of the pandemic, I got back into running and fell in love with it all over again. Now I'm training for the NYC Marathon all while still maintaining strength. I think a lot of it, at the end of day, comes down to recovery.
really waiting for the rest of the videos i am really interested in that topic for the last 2 weeks cause i think i will talk the step soon
Thanks for the inspiration, man.
We are at eerily similar points in life! We're both roughly the same age and I also had that feeling of "randomly wanting to scratch that itch" as far as running. It's an entirely different ballgame from lifting, but you look great and look healthy! Keep it up brother!
🐐to🐐 communication
I ran my first marathon last April at 39 yo and am currently training for the next one. I love it.
Great to see you grow mentally throughout the years Alan. I'm guessing your kid has a lot do with that as well. I'm on a similar path, yet a couple of years younger. Looking forward to where the road takes you.
Looking forward to the next one,
looking forward to this series as a track athelete who started lifting heavier recently(ish)
Resubscribed: I unsubscribed about a year ago because your channel's content no longer interested me. I was getting into running , I don't own a gym, and your content didn't reflect my goals at the time. Now that your content reflects what I do -- running and lifting -- you've won me back. Cheers and thank you :)
Trail running and lifting is my jam with some yoga thrown in. Cannot beat a good long Sunday run to clear the head. My only problem is trying to balance it all!
Love that youve incorporated running A-lander. I mountain bike as well as lift. As i get older I realize my heart needs the cardio and getting "bulky" doesn't age well.
thanks for the video!
Hey Alan, I lost 100 lbs once. It is why I run and can’t give it up in my adult life. When I was a kid, I was always chunky and could never seem to get in shape. Once I got my diet together, and started running and working out more consistently the weight came off. To this day, my wife doesn’t understand why I want to run so much, and why I equate my ability to run with being “in shape” - but that’s the long and short of why I enjoy running. Its Cool to hear your story and perspective on running, and I’m really looking forward to this series.
Why run?
Why be able of Moving your body one place to another.
What a disturbing culture we have here.
Love the content you put out. Nice video
You're the man Alan
Looking forward to hearing your next video. Most content I've consumed regarding running and lifting is from a (generally a lifelong scrawny) runner's perspective.
Started running in November? You clearly did it bc you’re leaner now and get super pumped around our birthday! It’s in our DNA! 🤘🏼
Awesome video man. I had no idea you were such a good runner even before YT, and I'm looking forward to what you have to say about balancing lifting and running, as I personally have been getting into running for the first time for a months now.
So been running and competing in strongman lately and my world changed when I switched to minimalist shoes, and wide toe box shoes, and doing a lot of knees over toes movements.
Thanks for this video. I have been flip flopping over this for awhile. I was running around 3 days a week. I then found bodybuilding and was told by trainers that it could be to jarring for leg development. I now realize I should never have stopped. Bodybuilding has been mentally taxing due to my body dysmorphia. My mental state is what should be my priority. This was a good reminder.
Bodybuilder: cardio kills your gainz
Bodybuilders heart: kills the body builders
@@jackmehoff2363 Yes, to a point, but I am not a PED user, my hormones are in check, I have no aspirations of competing at a pro level. My cardiovascular health is great. Sometimes you just need to decide what is more important to you, my mental health is, running helps clear my cobwebs. I also do not plan to run marathons. If competition at a pro level becomes a dream, for sure, I will cut it down.
