While the world was shocked at the sight of the WR and of him ripping his shirt, Leif has seen it many times before and thought it was commonplace after such an unbelievably hard run.
Jeez, wonder how many shirts this guy goes through. It's good to be sponsored
His contract stipulates that he can have at most seven workout shirts and can’t get a new one unless at least one of the existing ones rips, and Norway being an environment conscious country, ripping shirts is only permitted after meeting the requirements of a hard workout day.
I have a tough time believing he spends 9 hours (minus 30 minutes for lunch) training on his "hard" days. You figure one hour for weightlifting, one hour actual running workout - maybe hour and a half. That leaves about 6 hours of warmups and drills. That ain't happening.
Yeah I’m not reading all that, anybody want to summarize it for me?
Basically his pro athlete life is like a regular "9 to 5" job. He goes in to the office (the gym/training facility) and is basically working all day with a lunch break and a few "coffee breaks". There is no morning workout, go home and sit on arse playing Fortnite, then evening workout. He works like this 3 days a week and the other 3 he does basically half days. One day a week he's sleeping it all off like a champ.
It's actually a very interesting way to look at training for a full-time athlete - it's truly "full-time".

If a pro athlete like him trains for 9 hours a day, how can a college student like Julien Alfred who might train 2 or 3 hours a day be running all-time great times?
A moderator/regular poster a couple years ago stated K W would sprint 42-something, 400m dash. Can I see K W at least sprint sub-45 400m? I'm sure many of the hours, "At Practice" are film study which is s.o.p. for hurdlers.
Good look into what Warholm does. Obviously you can’t get a too specific look but the important gist is the attention to detail of what they do in his camp. How does it compare to what other intermediate hurdlers do? Of course Benjamin shouldn’t train like him or vice versa, but does his camp put in this much detail? I ran into that IG post way back and if you combine it with some of the stuff that’s out there for Bol, it just shows that the euros are different and it would benefit US coaches to learn some of that methodology. Magness and Marcus are up on this.

his PR is quite literally literally 44.86
that said, i don’t really see him going any lower than 44.5. definitely a strength based 400 hurdler.
Interestingly I think they may have started doing the threshhold intervals because of the success Dalilah has had with similar interval work (though I might be misremembering)
No human can train like this. A body can not recover in time to keep this up for a week. Live in Reality folks.
The more I think about this the more I think it is just a bunch of bunk. No one can train for 8.5 hours. He maybe spends 9 hours at the facility but much of that is eating, getting massages, ice baths, napping and the like. Kai Benjamin ran one second slower while being a college student. I ran at a top D1 school and the sprinters did nothing like this.
Why doesn't LRC have more interviews with people like Warholm? Most podcast guests are school or college kids. I'd rather have more interviews with top pros who are going to be competing at the big events and DLs.
Because most pros steer clear of Let's Run. When a site allows angry old men and middle school kids to run amok with made up stories about you, your agent and your sponsors direct you to not speak to the Johnsons or Gault outside of the mixed zone at a meet. Give them a canned quote and then get as far away as possible.
Pro athletes don't share their training, and when they do it's all lies.
Remember Phleps 12000 calories daily?
Schwarzenegger training methods?
Only stupid people buy into this.
I tend to think its an example of an exceptionally heavy/long day, but who knows, he's the wr holder after all.
Yeah...this reeks of a troll job. I can easily see a 4 MAYBE a 5 hour day once or twice a block. There is no way he does a 7 hour session even once a block. I would quite literally put my entire next year's salary that this is a lie or extremely long truth
No coach in their right mind would have an athlete that races for 45 seconds doing a 7 hour workout. That would be akin to having a 10k guy do a 24 hour run.

So you are suggesting Warholm and his coach sat down with a LR intern and just made up a bunch of details? It seems like they would have better things to do with their time.
