Walmsley CRAZY Workout - Will Go Sub 1:04:00

I’d say this workout is equivalent to around a 6430 65 min half unless it was run at altitude. I ran mid 64 at Houston, one of the fastest half marathon courses around and did very similar workouts in my buildup. Keep in mind 2-3 min of rest is a lifetime with his aerobic capacity.

For the marathon! Maybe a new WR!

Ohh please. Walmsley fanboys have no clue about running that's for sure.

IN 1978 or 79 the AR was like 65:3x by Thom

Hunt....

They sure don't!

Workout yesterday

3+ mile WU, 4x 2mile with 1,2,1 minute rests (9:52, 9:54, 9:46, 9:38), 3 mile CD - things definitely started feeling easier the second half of the workout, happy with building through the workout. Strength and stamina feel more than ready to go, leg turn over is getting close

15.23mi

1:31:54

6:02/mi

Tremendous workout ! No doubt he OTs just a question if he goes all out and runs 1:01 or controlled and he goes 1:04ish . You heard it from the Hounddog. ? ?

Walmsley is not running a 1:01.

Can't wait until Houston is over. Such a hype about this guy for no good reason.

17 days and 13 hours to go.

NO GOOD REASON??????????

WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?

NO GOOD REASON??????????

The greatest trail runner in the history of the United States is trying to make the OLYMPIC TEAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

That's a good enough reason for me!!!!!!!!

Why does Walmsley always say 'Bang bang' this 'Bang Bang' that...what does that actually mean?

Should someone who beats him say 'I bang banged Walmsey'?

It's a think he does it because of the whole Coconino Cowboys thing. You know, cowboys, guns, bang, bang (as you do the finger gun thing). No idea if this is true, but it sounds plausable!

If that workout is true I think JS can make you to a decent marathoner.
