That’s not running and definitely not ‘nice’ unless you’re over 70 and morbidly obese.
Kuntfuzied has literally never learned how to run and now says in that video, “at 45, my PR days are behind me”. He thinks that because pros are done in their 40’s after squeezing every drop from the lemon for decades, he must be too after jogging around with a selfie stick for a few years…..What an idiot.
1:25 is racing, very few non LRCers or Reddit/r/AdvancedRunning r/ARTC types can hit that time.
If you're over 70 and/or obese, your 1/2 time may be closer to 2:10-2:20.
Nick Bester saying the other day he's a bit concerned about pain in his left quad and is having to run tentatively when going downhill, having run 35km the day before simply because that's how old he is, and then still proceeding to run 10*200 in the run where he noticed the pain. He's still feeling some pain so this morning he's made the very sensible call to only run a 6 and bit mile shakeout before still racing a 5k later...
Previously I'd have said that he's never really seemed to struggle with injury that much so he must manage himself well but frick me this seems like one of those 'subtle foreshadowing' memes. "I did a long run yesterday for no rhyme nor reason, and now my leg hurts a bit. I should probably do some long strides and then race 5k tomorrow hey?"
I love how they're taking on supplement sponsors too - makes me really trust their advice
I think the peak of this is the people who are sponsored by various electrolyte companies and push I always get really bad cramps and that's why I use drink tablet X, not noting that they've ever stopped getting these cramps so how effective are they, or the varied research around them.

That femur is going BOOMSHAKALAKA!
In all seriousness, I don’t wish injuries on any runner—I’ve been at the wrong end of them myself—but if you completely ignore and even flaunt conventional wisdom on how to avoid them, you’ve got it coming.
Like Callum and think while he does speak out a bit more than other athletes hes still remarkably polite as i guess he has a deal with Hoka to consider.
The podcast generally has friendly banter but he does occaisionally say that some of this things Ben does is potentially risky. I think i always assume that Influencers will ultimately have to damage their health as their content is their life so if your injured as a runner then you wont make any money.
That reminds me of the one time I heard the podcast when BF was returning too fast from injury which CE obviously spotted and diplomatically raised. He then supported BF view that he'd soon be cracking 2.20 as a mere stepping stone and was able not to comment on BF saying he was really aiming for something close to 2.10. Not gonna happen. My impression is that unlike these deluded empty vessels CE amounts to much more than a podcaster.

This is always so funny. It's kind of the same how they start working with coaches or doing all this extra stuff just to run the same times as when they weren't training that seriously. The irony of the shoetuber progression curve.
I'll also call out Ari Klau specifically because I watch and generally enjoy his videos but he is notorious for hocking Ketone IQs and then having some gnarly bonks or fueling issues. I don't know if he stopped drinking maple syrup but he's for sure kept the Ketones in the regimen, no matter how all over the place his results can be.
Fox now declaring he is going to be racing a marathon every month of the year for the foreseeable future..How long will this last
I'm left wondering what Fox is trying to accomplish through this. Is he going into this thinking he will run sub-2:20 at each race? Seems like a lot of travel and wear and tear on the body.

If you ever wondered what would happen if Yuki Kawauchi and Patrick Bateman of “American Psycho” had a baby…

Once a month is in some weird uncanny valley where none of them will be particularly good, but you also don’t get to pull the “50 marathons in 50 days” publicity stunt.
I suspect it probably has a lot to do with race day videos for major marathons reliably being the biggest performers in terms of views/reach. The algorithm loves that sh*t, though I wouldn’t be surprised if that kind of frequently just dilutes the impact and makes them all blur together (especially if you don’t have the big PR/time goal draws, but I’m no YouTuber so I could be hilariously wrong)
If he doesn’t get injured, I think his marathon times will slow down by about a minute almost every time, and eventually, he’ll be back to being a 2:22-2:30 runner who drops out of every other marathon because he lacks the motivation to finish when he’s so far from his personal best.

One marathon he is apparently looking at is Manchester, which is on the same day as London this year, which means the field will be thin and he actually has a chance of winning it (if he doesn't get cramps)
