I also agree with less lifting, way too many program are getting obsessed with this again
QFE. Everybody loves to point to that one study that shows lifting at 80% 1RM or heavier for a few reps improves running economy but in my experience, I’ve seen heavy lifting break more runners down or even make them slower.
The science sucks and usually these studies are doo doo. I don’t like taking data from British park run athletes at applying it to the top runners in the world.
Should be the other way around but that is just my opinion.
Yes lifting makes you stronger, that’s the whole point. Too much of it on top of a ton of running makes everything worse.
Do deadlifts make you strong? Hell yeah they do. Are they risky for skinny runners that aren’t power athlete, yes.
She isn’t at altitude of most of this training, they only did the speed during one period of the training. She is also one of the best athletes in the world and has been at the top of her age groups forever.
1: Professional runner in her late 20’s decides she can try a new type of training that may not be sustainable for more than a couple years in an attempt to break out of continuously finishing mid pack in championship races (May shorten her career but might also win some medals, records, etc.)
You all are acting like she is doing Daniel Komen insanity.
Pro athletes have so much time to recover. They go months without travel. There is periodization. Yea you can’t do this training because you aren’t as talented as she is.
Remember when she beat Nicki Hiltz at NCAAs and she is still better than her now?
She may be doping but folks on this message board act like if you do more than a hobby jogger you are peak lance Armstrong
4k of work at 800 pace at the end of the cycle is the cherry on top.
This.
That is a LOT, even for runners calloused to 800 pace running, most of whom are NOT doing a day like this do cap off a very intense 10-day cycle. This would be a very hard target session for most, and not done that often.
I see from the downvotes that the Aussie astroturf brigade found their way to this thread.
Hey blokes, heard any dirt about anyone remotely connected to Nic Bideau lately? Maybe you can tell us why the coffeehouse that sells him his latte every morning needs to be shut down forever because of their association with him.
A former assistant coach to Alberto Salazar says he saw a document which said US distance runner Galen Rupp was on testosterone medication in 2002, claims which both Rupp and Salazar deny.

She actually mentioned in an interview that training by herself with her dad allowed her to take way bigger risks in her training that she ever has before. She said that in a group, the coach has a contract and a bigger obligation to balance risk/reward. With her dad they take way more risks in training that have big payoff but could also easily overcook her or lead to injury.
There’s an interesting dynamic. This seems like reasonable volume overall but with very impressive quality built in. The results (3:50) are something historically. Contrast it with Georgia Bell who does 1/3-1/4 of the running volume and probably around half of the quality (that might be generous) with only marginally worse results in her first serious season in a half-decade. So which is more crazy?

Did the podcast ask what she would say to people who think her improvement is "too good to be true"?
Just wondering.
Don't be silly, lily-white westerners like hull are allowed to get "medical assistance" and improve times ~7-10 seconds with no questions asked despite years of consistent mediocrity.
This, along with a certain bell of the uk, has to be the most blatant and obvious case of "medical assistance" this year.
The ausie propaganda machine is very hard at work to legitimise thie fraud.
