Willis Training

@taggartvanetten Good job overtraining and hitting 10:01 king your competitors aren't doing this 😤😤😤

[Willis Training @willis_training]

@CatholicRunners Ha I started lifting on my hardest (or at least highest power / speed) aerobic day and just fully switched to always doing an easy ride the day after for this exact reason! Was never sure if that next day "run" was helping anything lol

[Willis Training @willis_training]

@Brady_H Thank god Brady I think this is the first time I've seen you take a picture of your food and it's just carbs. Carbs team unite!

@GuruAnaerobic One friend got actually lean (I'd think 13-15% bf on dexa) and his wife instituted a weight floor for him lol

[Willis Training @willis_training]

@GuruAnaerobic It's weird how being at a healthy weight is considered skinny. I'm 36 and my group of college friends are fit (probably 15-20% bf on a dexa) but have never lifted much and they probably all weigh ~155.

It takes serious lifting to weigh more than that at a healthy weight!

[Willis Training @willis_training]

@CatholicRunners That glycogen isn't going to replace itself!

[Willis Training @willis_training]

@runliftrunlift @GuruAnaerobic And it's funny that it's still almost entirely aerobic! You read Once A Runner and the kind of training he does is what a longer distance runner would do, basically.

[Willis Training @willis_training]

@runliftrunlift @GuruAnaerobic It's been interesting for me to watch you and Guru both train for the ~mile distance. You're obviously coming at it from much different training backgrounds and programs but still able to attack it with excellence.

[Willis Training @willis_training]

@Brady_H lol this is the plot of Vision Quest

[Willis Training @willis_training]

@Hybridathlete Ha yes! I wonder if this is different for different people? I do ~10,000kJ / week and could easily get to 20% bf if I didn't watch what I eat.

My intuitive eating is I intuitively know how hungry I need to be throughout the day to not gain weight because I always weigh myself.

[Willis Training @willis_training]

@CatholicRunners Beautiful graph. 12/10 no notes

[Willis Training @willis_training]

@Brady_H My son somehow cooled on loving berries the past two weeks and I think I can buy a Porsche 911 now

[Willis Training @willis_training]

@taggartvanetten That's my king!

Just curious so that I know how goated this is. What's your LT2, roughly?

[Willis Training @willis_training]

@CatholicRunners Curious! Also, hit 5.5 easy plus strides this morning I think I'm ready for any kind of running race.

[Willis Training @willis_training]

@ZacGoodman_ I have such good memories of being in middle and high school crowding around someone trying to hit a PR in a lift. No better feeling than when you smash it yourself. LIGHT WEIGHT!!!!

[Willis Training @willis_training]

@Alan_Couzens I've been a fan of yours for a while, but everything you say started making much more sense after I did lactate tests on a couple of people who do aerobic work 4-5 days / week but usually too hard.

Each one of them was at ~4mmol 40bpm below their max!

[Willis Training @willis_training]

@GuruAnaerobic My favorite place in the world!

[Willis Training @willis_training]

@taggartvanetten Taggart, my king, I repeat how are you not eating ~800g of carbs per day normally with this training load

[Willis Training @willis_training]

@ZacGoodman_ What do you like for the ankles / feet Zac?

[Willis Training @willis_training]

@GuruAnaerobic A friend of mine put it well. Where he grew up (in the US) there were some elite East African runners.

"When I'd see them run, they were either running 9 minute miles or 4 minute miles."
