The flip side of that is people who refuse to acknowledge the internal signals and use things like bad heart rate and lactate data to guide them, “trusting the science”
Got a chance to speed through the last episode. I had it on 2x and was skipping through it at parts, but afaik he didn’t address that his float recoveries turned into jogs? Though those splits are proudly displayed.
Sabriah again brings the best content of the series “fittest I’ve ever been”. I must say that Sabriah time flopped as far as its serious/stated purpose, which was to hold Floberg accountable to his wife and kids. A few episodes back she made the situation pretty plain with “we are like two ships passing in the night” and “when we watch tv at night you just fall asleep”.
I never wanted to know or speculate how well he keeps up with his intimate duties to his wife and yet he throws it in our faces. Then instead of it being legit accountability (which btw how awkward would it be if Sabriah were actually really upset and decided to air it out?), it turned out to be more performative than substantive, and devolved into abs and jokes. I think he had good intentions with the segment but it was poorly executed. Reminds me of his training.
So coy about his goal pace ughh
The BPN shakeout is one block from my hotel but I’m here with my family so we will be on our way to a museum while that’s going on. I wouldn’t ever sacrifice family time for a BPN shakeout.

I know there’s a lot of flak coming Floberg way on here but there’s no denying he has a talent at using music well within his videos. Excellent picks generally which work well within the video.
I also don’t really get a lot of the stick coming his way. He’s not perfect but there seems to be a lot more cringey, narcissistic people in the space than him (Mr ‘rant about net hill marathon talk’ for example).
I wish him well at Chicago. Hope he achieves his goal.
Floberg videos play like Teen Mom or Catfish episodes. He uses similar music and is , like them, trying to create false drama from absolutely nothingness

Yeaaaahhhh I didn't even know this guy had a YouTube channel. But wow. How annoying is this guy lolololol. "People care so much, why do you care so much?".... You are putting your content on the internet. So yeah.
Also you are on some sort of gear. You just laughed about being on steroids... but you never said you weren't using gear.
What a loser
Trying to 'address the haters' is almost always a zero-sum game and looks silly.
My man you are a grown adult, you can race as many downhill marathons as you like. Not everybody will, or is obliged to be, impressed by this, and nobody's convinced by a 'why do you care' argument when your entire lifestyle and livelihood is borne off the the interest and engagement of the same audience. Your entire time in the sport is a jeans advertisement, you know exactly how that works.

My biggest issue with him, and many runfluencers, is that they know so little about training but will happily coach others just because they are 'fast'. I would much rather employ FOD Runner to coach me, as he clearly understands running and has experience with different methods, over Floberg. I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if you could leave Floberg stumped by mentioning LT1 and LT2.
Still, I guess you could do worse than Floberg. Fordy is both slow and uneducated.
Good luck to Ben and Eric tomorrow from a fellow YouTuber.
Go prove this particular corner of this particular forum wrong. Us vs them. Do us proud .
Absolutely adore that Floberg/Felton collab on the shakeout run this morning. So stoked that they are friends irl. The Chicago videos from these guys are gonna be next level.

excited to hate watch it! =) truly two of the most cringeworthy and insufferable morons in the tuber space. it's gonna be epic content thats for dam sure!! cant wait to see floberg run over 2:30 tomorrow and provide a pathetic excuse. he's insufferable these days and i really dont want to see him succeed with his silly training and robbing folks for his 'coaching' services. i really cant tell if the local running community actually likes him or if he just has mindless drones or bots that just post positive comments on all his media, it almost seems fake some of the things people comment on his videos and strava. think felton will run better than london which isnt saying much, but he will blow up if he tries to pr and probably won't run under 2:25.
One channel that I think is pretty decent is FlobergRuns. He's trying to break 2:40 at Chicago this weekend. He has a wife/kids/job and doesn't take himself too seriously. Obviously not a great runner, but he doesn't train like a dips*** and shows improvement. He does videography professionally, so his videos always look pretty good. I've enjoyed following him and he doesn't piss me off like a lot of these other YT weirdos.
One of the first comments on this thread. This received 34 upvotes and only 1 downvote. You all used to love Eric but then followed like sheep when he became less cool cause there were new kids on the block like JakeRantoJapan (who is also awesome btw). In 2 years people will probably be slagging him off here too.
Oh and as for Ben - he just ran a sub 30, 10k at Vitality London. On an obscenely muggy and hot day. Clearly in sub 2:20 shape. If he doesn’t PB then it won’t be for lack of talent or poor training/race execution. It will be because the weather forecast for Chicago is currently saying it’s full sun and roasting. Fingers crossed for them both .
Astonishingly, Bester joins the proper UK club scene and gets his arse well and truly kicked at the first Surrey County XC League fixture of the year. Can't wait for the video on the brutal conditions. Boomshakaplonka.
