About 6 months ago I interviewed a former Olympic Runner named Marius Bakken from Norway. To make a long story short, he created a marathon training program that I got to preview before he put it for sale. Now it is for sale so I interviewed him again on why its a good program. Check out the interview and see if it interests you. He knows his stuff when it comes to running. I can say that for sure.
It sounds good I guess, but what are some other marathon programs out there? Has anyone followed this one, or a different one?
This program just came out in July. It only costs $47. I always wonder why people are reluctant to spend money on a training program. Sure there are other free programs out there, but why not be on the cutting edge. I bet five or six years from now when people start to realize that it really works, they'll be more than willing to spend the money. Plus, spending the money kind of will make you commit to the program. You figure, well I spent $47. I'd better make it worth it. And guess what, you'll probably run a hell of a lot faster than what everyone else in the world is doing too.
I paid 77USD and those videos just doesn´t roll :(
If it helps me qualify, It would be worth it.
Marius: You heard of this thing, the $80 marathon program?
Ted: Yeah, sure, $80 Marathon program. Yeah, the exercise video.
Marius: Yeah, this is going to blow that right out of the water. Listen to this: ... $47... Marathon... Program!.
Ted: Right. Yes. OK, all right. I see where you're going.
Marius: Think about it. You walk into a running store, you see $80 Marathon Program sittin' there, ... there's a $47 Marathon Program right beside it. Which one are you gonna pick, man?
Ted: I would go for the $47
Marius: Bingo, man, bingo. $47 Marathon Program. And we guarantee just as good a workout as the $80 program folk.
Ted: You guarantee it? That's - how do you do that?
Marius: If you're not happy with the first $47, we're gonna send you the extra $23 free. You see? That's it. That's our motto. That's where we're comin' from. That's from "A" to "B".
Ted: That's right. That's - that's good. That's good. Unless, of course, somebody comes up with $26.20 Marathon Program. Then you're in trouble, huh?
[Marius convulses]
Marius: No! No, no, not 26! I said 47. Nobody's comin' up with 26. Who works out for 26 dollars? You won't even get your breathe-rite strips in a bunch, not even a mouse on a treadmill.
Ted: That - good point.
Marius: 47's the key number here. Think about it. Dial Norway, where do you start? 47! Scotty saved 47 El-Aurians, AK-47, P-47, Silver, Michael Irvin. Talledega Nights. 47, man, that's the number. Prime/Fibonocci/Carol Numbers! 47 crucifixes in The Omen, 47 chipmunks twirlin' on a branch, eatin' lots of sunflowers on my uncle's ranch. You know that old children's tale from the sea. It's like you're dreamin' about Gorgonzola cheese when it's clearly Brie time, baby. Step into my office.
Ted: Why?
Marius: 'Cause you're f***in' fired!
