The worst thing about him is that he pretends he is different and isn't a shill. Guy is a complete clown and pretends he knows everything and just gets his news from r/runningshoegeeks and his low iq followers lap it up.

Tim Grose - if you are reading this, Mick Jagger recently posted pictures on Instagram of his travels in Portugal wearing a pair of Pegasus Plus’s. Further browsing of his account show him in other high end Nike running shoes, including the invincible 3. Potential topic for a future video?
I want to hear what happened. He was in like 25th place at the halfway point when he quit. I’m sure Robbe, who was somehow supposed to pace him, was relieved.
No one is better at wasting influencer bibs than the BITR crew (other than Meaghan who actually trains and is good). They constantly blow up and miss their “goals.” They are “leading” a sub 4 group at NYC. Unless Meg is in that group (she won’t be) I wouldn’t trust any of those guys to reliably run a sub 4 on that course.
Didn't Robbe "pace" an "unofficial" 4 hour group at NYC last year and blow up?
floberg is so so pathetic with how clearly obsessed he is about being “fit” and looking good. you can tell the guy has an addiction to getting abs and looking good physically at this point it’s bizarre. I truly wonder how his wife feels lol. seems to be a full time caregiver for multiple children and floberg is just a running maniac and going on dope runs with his “bros” in Chicago and across the country.
shirtless posts and references his physical appearance in every Strava activity daily. The level of cringe is wild and I feel like I’m in the minority. I’m amazed how many fans and mainly grown men in their 20-30s keep feeding his ego with positive commentary. It’s almost like they’re bots but I realize they’re real people. I just do not understand how people can fan over a very average male runner (and a cynical annoying guy at that). the whole bpn cult is freaking weirdo man
Yesterday's workout for Broberg
2 up 4xK (60s walk) - 3:15 avg 5x800 (60s walk) - 2:36 avg 400 jog (accidentally started next set) 2:00 break 6x600 (60s walk) - 1:55 avg
1 down
This coach presumably knows more than me but personally I'm unsure that running super, super easy all week then having 1 workout a week like this is going to dip Floberg under 2:30.
Are we saying he lacks speed so he needs this session? If so why didn't they do a speed block? Anyone here experienced at running a successful marathon want to chime in?
Looks like it could be a stag do, don’t be surprised when you start seeing runners off on their final night of freedom dressed as a full kit wanker Bester as the ultimate way to ridicule your stag
no training, no advice, no top 5 lists, no shilling products. just 3 guys that absolutely rinse themselves on a regular basis.
CMR has played it well by having 3 dudes racing in the channel, it gives each of them time to properly put in the training in the background while another races. Unlike solo channels there's no pressure on them having to race every week for content
Crown My Run now promoting Crown Plus for £4.99 a month.
Has the shark been jumped?
Apparently YouTube gave them £800 to turn the premium package on (they apparently will invest in the channel)

Completely agree he barely does any work at threshold and marathon pace, just jogs on the treadmill and says I’m so fit man
I agree as well it seems that Floberg usually just has one workout a week. I used to have Jeff as my coach and I always felt like he never gave me more specific LT or MP workouts and it was usually just one speed workout mid- week. As we got closer to the marathon (7 weeks out) that is when the first real long run workout would be.

His training is bizarre as someone that is basically clocking the same times. I'm doing 2 dedicated speed sessions a week plus another session within my long run. Basically a modified, more aggressive, Norwegian singles approach. All his efforts appear to me to be far too hard. Can I do 5 x 1km @ 3:15kmph? Sure. Would I rather do 10 x 1km @ 3:20-3:25kmph? You bet! We are training for a marathon, not a 10km. Of course there is no one approach to running, but I would rather do my speed work a bit slower and get 2-3x the volume over the course of a week. I also never need to vomit during a workout which is nice!

Wrong thread for this but it's great to see someone who has modified NSA for themselves, actually describe it as a modified version and admit that it is more aggressive. So many people repeatedly asking "Can I do my third subt session in the long run so I only need to run 6 days?" Sure you can, nobody's stopping you, it's just going to be something different now. "Aww but I wanna train like sirpoc." Okay, run 7 days a week then, three separate subt sessions, and keep the long run easy. "Noooo!"

I’m convinced his new abs obsession comes from that photo someone posted of all the bpn bros shirtless and bloberg was the only one without them. Probably Nick himself told bloberg to shape up or else
Well, Welsh Runner’s latest masterpiece was as dull as dishwater. Helped me get a power nap in though. I’m sure he’s a nice guy, but crikey…I can’t stay awake through that drivel. He’s just hasn’t got the personality to make it work, and of course we all know the ‘all in’ rubbish is likely to end in injury, a DNS or a jog in at the finish of Berlin as he starts of too fast.
Regarding Edd Budd, what is with his bizarre shoe scoring system? ‘I’ll give them a 2.7 out of 3’. Utterly meaningless - has he ever given a score of 1.something or 0.something? If not, what is the point? And his durometer scores. He’s no Seth, that’s for sure, but yet trying to copy him. And Seth’s reviews are useless as well, which makes Ed’s around the same level. Utter rubbish, in other words. 0.4 out of 3 is being generous. I was about to say ‘must try harder’, but actually Edd, if you are reading this, ‘just give it up’.

That approach worked really well for his baby-faced Mormon mate Clarke, he did 1 workout per week and got either sub 2:30 or damn close to it. Same coach too.
