@cfarivar @Strava @stravawanker @Forbes Happy to will email you 👍

Brace yourselves @Strava is going full on @stravawanker with this ‘Athlete Intelligence’ feature 🤣🙄

A 1km is NOT a SPRINT - that’s a 10/12min steady effort - this is going to make the average recreational runners more idiotic 🙄😬🤣

If you don't fancy the workout or your time has been pressured by other commitments, leave it. Change the plan. It can be done on another day that works better. Flexibility in your approach is likely to keep you in the game for longer.

New Zealand wants to host 2028 World Indoor Championships.

With the 200m 'short track' no longer confined to an indoor arena, the championships could take place at somewhere like Eden Park.

"Lydiard's way of starting everybody on week 1 was doing 100 miles and on day 7 doing the 22 mile tough Waiatarua. That was a shock for many and some did not come back for week 2, but some of us did and most who did became champions." B Magee 2016 email to TOF

@stevemagness I’d love to take this guy on a 90min steady effort run on hilly terrain & see how long he & his Vo2 lasts 🤣🤦🏻‍♂️

It's 24 years to the day since Cathy Freeman won Olympic 400m gold in front of around 112k people at Sydney 2000 🔥

Freeman clocked 49.11 to claim the title and the reaction of the crowd said it all 🇦🇺

@stevemagness Thank you 🙏 this is amazing and what everyone should hear / learn!!

There was a time a few years ago where people discovered their local countryside. They walked, they exercised. They got the idea that simple stuff was good. Being healthier is often about doing simple things.

@TheRealMerb Home track, basically been training there ever since he was doing school athletics, plus this is normal Wellington conditions 😆

@SarahCowley3 @bopman1 Honestly if that isn’t enough for the young lad to represent NZ in Paris I don’t know what would be!

[74Running @74Running]

@stevemagness The Truth! A few years ago I got a plan from the great @nickwillis Miler Method - not only did I run my best mile, it also cut 10mins off my Marathon time - everything is relative for longevity & running

[74Running @74Running]

Total training duration ~12/14 weeks, broken up into segments of build up. Consistency is not easy as it sounds. She kept showing up did the work & never complained.

One of the people I coach won the 60 year female age group NZ National Marathon title in Rotorua, when we started working together at the beginning of this year, she said, “I’ll be happy to finish in 4hrs 15” - she ran 3:37 wining an age group national medal.

[74Running @74Running]

She has not run a marathon for many years. We worked on consistency & strength followed by more conditioning & running to feel. No “workouts”. Basic premise was getting to the start line healthy. She didn’t wear a watch for the race or in training, ran to feel.

The "Waiatarua" long run t. It might not change your life immediately, but it might help out in the long run.

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

An all out fitness test on a novice is a bad idea:

1. They won’t get anywhere near actual max because fatigue is a foreign

2. It will scare them away, making them think exercise sucks!

Start where people are at. Which is often a walk around the neighborhood. Progress gradually

[Steve Magness @stevemagness]

Tip to the fitness bros:
An 800, mile, or even 5k might feel like sprinting to you... but they are all primarily aerobic events.

All are controlled paces, even the 800.

Learn the nuance of speed.

If you don't understand, then you don't understand interval training!

10 years ago, I won the most significant race of my life. I still get chills watching this video 10 years later. Thank you everyone who celebrated this special victory with me in Boston last week.
