Any questions? It's all in the video from Maxime Lopes.
This French kid, Daguinos takes MANY days off. Many athletes are scared to take rest days, but this French monster is guided by his coach (a kind French mother) to focus on quality rather than quantity.

A lot of easy mileage can be replaced with cross training, especially with modern super shoes. It will just take more time, but it is well worth it if you're more injury prone.

I'm not sure it's fair to say he focused on quality over quantity. The total quantity of aerobic training sounds pretty high if you include the cross-training.

most athletes are very insecure closet nutcases, and to feel right they have to train and over train, be tough, not the worst condition in the world compared with the average citizen who can't stop stuffing their pie hole and feed 10 addictions.
and the true competitor, ambitious athlete, will want to get at it, and push the envelop.
the coach moderates the athlete, and ideally, mentors the mind, identify the fears and insecurities and creates a stronger mind, through reason, realization and above all else proper training and healthy lifestyle.
for if your training is good and you're strong, you will be mentally strong, and any mental deficiencies won't be in play, unless there is some crazy blockage under stress, like when you are fit to win but choke needlessly. if you choke, look at it, and dont' do it again, just run.
I was concerned as a little kid about monsters and Ghost seems to confirm their existence.

Sir, this kid, Étienne Daguinos, is the real deal. A very intelligent monster. Watch the videos. Running for him and his coach (a motherly French Maman), is a chess game of optimization. A lot of rest days to be 100% for the quality sessions. The long bike rides reduce trauma to the legs. Quasi perfect biomechanics (subjective opinion here).
In my book, even more talented than Dr Yann Scrub.
Ghost picks out the one guy every time who does less.... And ignores the huge numbers doing more.

Agree. The people he writes about are really good but a ways away from being among the very best. Still, I enjoy what he posts and think it can be useful especially for people who are maybe a bit fragile or really cramped for time or some such thing.

Hated her talk show!
Good for him! Not everyone is the same, great to see a different approach.
I like that people are trying different things. Think about how much double T has changed everyone’s idea of what is possible.
Keep experimenting!!! If everyone did the same thing it would be really really boring.
I will say, I think lots of college train the same because the structure is the same with rules/ practice time/ schedule/ classes etc. hard to do lots of unique training with that framework
