"I'll never forget one race, one of my best 5km races was last year at Payton Jordan (2019) and that was when I was really at the height of my mindfulness practise. I was meditating every day - I would wake up and meditate for 10 minutes, I was so aware of what I was doing and how I was feeling throughout the day through mindfulness. I would meditate at night. There was so many moments in that race where I wanted to give up, I was not in shape to run 13:22 for 5km that day, hell no! But I kept giving myself opportunities. I kept giving myself opportunities to keep pushing. Every moment I wanted to give up and let off the pace and let that gap open up I just gave myself one more step, I gave myself one more breath, and I just kept going and going. I kept telling myself that this pain that I'm going through, it's okay, it's not something that I possess, it's just something that's there. It's not a part of me, it's just something that is present currently and that was the huge breakthrough for me. I was like "Holy shit, if I can learn to continue to breath through things, I can push myself to a whole new pain tolerance and to a whole new place that I never knew I could get to before."
Sam Parsons (Tinman Elite) is back on the Sweat Elite Podcast to discuss everything mindfulness with Sweat Elite's Tait Hearps.
"You can achieve these certain states of being through running. Running can be such a meditative endeavour. It can be a way to free yourself from darkness, anxiety, stress, whatever it may be. Running is an escape for a lot of people. That hour that you head out your door can be the best hour of your day. It can be the one hour where you're not stressing about the test you have the take, or the work that you didn't do or whatever might be coming up. Learning to take moments in your day just to breathe. I always had this huge misconception with it."

Alex Hutchinson is a Canadian journalist, Cambridge University trained physicist and ex-national level runner. He is also the author of a fantastic book called Endure – Mind, Body, and the Curiously Elastic Limits of Human Performance. The book is the product of a decade-long quest to explore the limits of human endurance, collating the experience and data of hundreds of athletes, explorers, scientists and experts in the field.
In our conversation Alex shares some of the findings from his work exploring the factors that determine the limits of endurance, as well as how we can do our upmost to push beyond the barriers that our minds and our mounting sense of effort can begin to erect when we are approaching our limits.
“The essence of pushing your limits in Endurance sports is learning to override that instinct so that you can hold your finger a little closer to the flame – and keep it there, not for seconds, but for minutes or even hours.”
Some of the topics we cover in Part 1 of our conversation include: * The Central Governor Theory and why our brain stops us from going over the edge. * The trainability of pain tolerance and why embracing discomfort is integral to endurance performance. * Fallacies around hydration and what the science says. * Nutrition – why low-carb high-fat diets have been promoted so heavily in the world of ultra-endurance, why glucose is still the fuel of choice for the top marathon runners, why making binary categories like I’ve just done is completely wrong when discussing fuelling a run with carbs/fat.
In Part 2 (coming next week), some of the topics discussed include: * Ways to diminish your perception of effort and therefore enhance your performance. * Why self-belief and positive self-talk can be so significant when trying to push to your limits. * Alex’s involvement with Nike’s Breaking2 Project.
* Where does technology fit into all of this? Where does Alex see marathoning in the future?

German Silva is a retired Mexican Olympic distance runner, winner of the 1994 and 1995 New York City Marathon and the Mexican half marathon record holder (60:28).
Silva made a name for himself after his dramatic 1994 New York City Marathon victory. With under a mile remaining, Silva was running stride for stride with co-leader and training partner Benjamin Paredes. As the pair ran through Central Park, the camera car veered right, pulling off the course and Silva followed. Silva calmly turned around when he realised his mistake, mustering the strength to regain the pace he had been setting, and set about reeling in the twelve second handicap he had just given himself. Silva timed his surge perfectly and passed Paredes with only about 100m remaining to claim his first World Major Marathon victory. This win changed a lot of things for German, it also earned him the moniker ‘Wrong Way Silva’.

Some people defy what we can conceive to be within the realm of possibility. Some manage to do it again and again.
A hero to many, one of the most accomplished and inspiring athletes in the world, a man with a beautiful message. Kilian Jornet has been an enigma since he took the world of mountain sports in the late 2000’s (I can’t just say mountain running because he also was winning world championships in ski mountaineering and taking on FKT expeditions).
Having the opportunity to sit down with an idol was such a privilege, and Kilian did not disappoint. From his home in Norway, Kilian generously gave a few hours of his time to discuss his adventures, the training that powers these incredible feats, and what is driving him. Kilian is a long-time subscriber of Sweat Elite and he was happy to delve into the specifics of what his training looks like (more of that in Part 2). He is charming and beautifully expressive, with a humility that belies his jaw-dropping list of achievements.
This is Part 1 of the interview with Kilian Jornet.

A selection of three of the most popular articles read aloud from the Sweat Elite website focused on the elite Japanese running scene.
In the marathon distance, Japan comes in third place behind Kenya and Ethiopia when looking at the number of athletes in the top thousand marathon times in history. Japan has over one-hundred athletes that have run sub-2:10 in the marathon. Compare this to the USA: with a population nearing triple that of Japan – and massive infrastructure surrounding their collegiate athletics system – the States have only twenty athletes that have run sub-2:10 (thirteen if you exclude record-ineligible Boston).
Our interest piqued, we decided to plunge headfirst into the Japanese running scene and investigate what was going on.

Tom Evans is an elite British ultrarunner. Having only recently devoted himself to running full-time – leaving the military to focus on athletics – as we got started, Tom said, “I’m really excited to share some of my knowledge, some of my wisdom that I’ve built up over my very short running career so far.”
Tom made an incredible debut on the Ultra Trail Running scene when he placed 3rd in the gruelling Marathon des Sables in 2017 – a 251km multi-stage self-supported race across the desert – which was initially a bet with his former military mates in a pub that he could improve upon their position at Marathon des Sables the previous year.
Tom stunned the ultra world once again in 2018, when he won the 101km CCC race at the Ultra-Trail du Mont-Blanc. Tom went on to place 3rd at one of the most competitive Ultra Trail races in the world – the 100 mile Western States Endurance Run in 2019 and followed it up with a win at the Tarawera 102km in February 2020 against a competitive field in New Zealand.
Throughout this conversation Tom shared captivating anecdotes of his journey into ultrarunning and a wealth of information on his training that has taken him to where he is now.
Tait Hearps, writer at Sweat Elite conducted the interview with Tom and published this article post-recording: www.sweatelite.co/tom-evans-pushing-limits-in-the-world-of-ultrarunning/

“Coach said: “Do you know why we aren’t doing a tempo run today? When you do a tempo run, guess what you do? You get locked into the same form that I don’t want you to run in right now. You’re training for a 5km and a 1500m. When you’re training for those races, I want you on your toes. I want you feeling good, I want your chest up, I want your arms back. If I give you ten four minute reps, you’re going to rest and you’re going to attack going into each one of those reps. You’re going to get in that stride that I want you to be in today. If I give you a 6-mile tempo run, you’re going to lock into 5 minute (mile) pace, get on your heels, hunch over by the end of it and you’re going to look like shit. You’re going to feel great because you did that last mile in 4:55, but it’s not going to be accomplishing what I want you to accomplish today. You’re going to be firing a totally different muscle group that I want you to be firing today.” At that moment, I realised that I just needed to shut up and trust him.”

“Being a great coach is like being a great chef. The food that Gordon Ramsay creates versus an average chef can be significantly different. His tastes better, but he probably uses 95% of the same ingredients. He uses flour, he uses spices – the same as the other trained chef. But he knows how much to put in, when to put it in and at what temperature. That’s the difference. As a coach, i’m constantly refining my skills and knowledge. I constantly hold the belief that I don’t know enough.”
Tinman Elite Head Coach – Tom Schwartz – joins the Sweat Elite podcast this week. This is a long episode, but it will not disappoint.

Scott Fauble (Hoka NAZ Elite) is currently one of America’s fastest Marathoner’s, with a personal best of 2:09:09 set at the 2019 Boston Marathon where he placed 7th. Scott will line up at the USA Olympic Trials for the Marathon this coming weekend (Feb 29 2020) in hopes of finishing top 3 and securing a place on the USA Olympic Team this year. In 2019, Scott was ranked 2nd in the USA for the Marathon on time.
We were very fortunate to chat with Scott just a week before the Olympic Trials about his book – Inside A Marathon – where he and his coach at Hoka NAZ Elite, Ben Rosario document the entire four-month journey to Scott’s 7th place finish at the 2018 TCS New York City Marathon. Scott shares his daily training log and recaps each week from an athlete’s perspective–and includes plenty of humour along the way. Ben recaps each week from a coach’s perspective and gives readers a behind-the-scenes look at creating the training outline for a professional marathoner. In our opinion, it’s a must read for all competitive long-distance runners.
In this podcast episode Scott answers questions we have about the book – Inside A Marathon and he also talks a bit about his training leading into the Olympic Trials.

At the age of 8, Philipp Pflieger told his parents that he would run at the Olympic Games one day after watching Haile Gebrselassie and Paul Tergat battle it out in the home straight of the 10,000m at the 1996 Atlanta Olympic Games. His parents laughed at him. In the following two decades Pflieger endured growth problems in his knees which sidelined him through most of his high school years, multiple stress fractures and surgeries in his early-mid 20’s and was told by several doctors that he wouldn’t run again. Cross training alone at the age of 25, Pflieger considered hanging up the racing shoes. Inspired by his best friend, Pflieger rolled the dice one more time and stepped up to the Marathon distance. Despite not finishing his first attempt at the Marathon, Pflieger managed to clock a 2:12:50 on his second attempt at the 2015 Berlin Marathon and qualify for the Rio 2016 Olympic Games in the process.
We recorded this podcast episode live from Iten, Kenya. In the episode, Pflieger talks about:
– how and why he stayed true to his childhood dream.
– his book Laufen am Limit.
– some of his training.
– his short term and long term goals.
– not finishing his first Marathon experience.
– running 2:12:50 at Berlin Marathon 2015.
– his Rio 2016 Olympics experience.
– collapsing at 39km in the Berlin Marathon 2017.
– altitude training camps in Kenya (pro’s and con’s).
– pace/effort of easy runs.
– long runs (30km+) in the final month preparing for a key Marathon.
– his typical taper (last 2 weeks before a Marathon).
– injury prevention.
– mental training.

In this episode we interview a data scientist who has developed an application that easily and affordably measures an individuals stress levels and indicates when the best time to do harder, quality training sessions is and when the best time to focus on recovery is.
Marco Altini of HRV4Training is a scientist working at the intersection between technology, health and human performance. Almost a decade ago Marco learnt, through studies, the effects of stress on human performance and had the idea to create an application that could easily measure physiological stress using the phone camera. The app combines heart rate variability (HRV) measurements with subjective annotations of sleep quality, motivation, perceived performance during the last trainings and muscle soreness to provide you with guidance on a day to day basis.
In this podcast episode, we discuss the studies about the effects of stress on human performance, as well as the HRV4Training Application.
You can learn more about HRV4Training at their website (www.hrv4training.com) or Instagram page (@hrv4training) or by downloading the application in the app store.

Nikki Johnstone has raced over 16 Marathons in 2019 and has averaged a time of well under 2:30. In addition, he has also raced numerous Half Marathons (average under 1:10), 10k's and even a couple of Ultra Marathons.. Nikki Johnstone is a racing machine!
Born in Scotland and now living in Germany, Nikki began running at the ripe old age of 28, completing his first couple of Marathons “as challenges” in 3:21 and 3:19.
Little did he know at the time that he was lighting a flame that would ignite progressively over the coming years to see him run over 50 Marathons, over 100 Half Marathons, 10k’s and 5k’s and the occasional Ultra Marathon. As of September 2018, he also holds the World Record for the fastest Marathon dressed as Elvis Presley.
Nikki is a full time teacher, trains every day and races “most weekends.” He is the European Yuki Kawauchi (of course, before Yuki went pro).
In this episode, Sweat Elite Founder Matt Fox chats with Nikki about how he manages his racing load, what he does for training (which is quite unusual), his time spent teaching in Ethiopia, where he gets his motivation from… and much more.

This conversation is with renown insta-runner Kimberly Underwood about all things running training. Kimberly recently dropped her Marathon personal best time from 3:38 to 3:11 in under 2 years with a few simple changes under coaching guidance of Elite Half Marathoner Ryan Vail. Kimberly and Ryan have taken a much more relaxed approach to training in many ways: they no longer count mileage, they no longer shoot for PR’s in every workout and they make sure they train with other runners as good as them.. something Kimberly learnt from talking with elite African athletes.Don’t forget to check out our new book: Eliud Kipchoge – History’s fastest marathoner: An insight into the Kenyan life that shapes legends
