Bruh. This guys doing a PowerPoint presentation in his head running 6 minute miles during a marathon.

just a casual sub 3 HR marathon 😪

I don’t think you guys understand how insane this is. Bro ran a sub 3 marathon CASUALLY while having a conversation with us the WHOLE TIME.

I like how you can jog a sub-3 while delivering a lecture on marathon training. Nicely done.

I have watched this video multiple times while I am training. Today, I broke 17:00 mile. At 50 and obese. Thanks Floris!

Let me tell you about low HR while I run a sub 3. So badass 🔥🤜🤛 Great content! What a gem ❤

My biggest takeaway is that with my 9-5 job, I've found that integrating Zone 2 running during lunch hours has become doable and genuinely invigorating. It's a game-changer to complete a run and still feel energetic, rather than being wiped out and needing a nap. This has turned my midday exercise into a productivity boost rather than a drain. Highly recommend this for anyone trying to balance work and fitness!

Most people just talk about what they preach... while this guy does what he preaches while preaching! Huge respect and inspiration!

Stuff of legend - making a sub 3 hour marathon look like a casual walk in the park whilst delivering the most comprehensive, evidence based video on zone 2 training. Amazing!

I cannot believe he gave this well organized video lecture WHILE RUNNING a marathon, and ON A TRACK the whole time 😭😭😭

8 miles in and 147 heart rate at a 6:42 pace!!! I have faith that I will reach that point! I know that I will, just have to keep putting the work in everyday.

This is beyond impressive! Sub 3 marathon at low HR and delivering a high quality, concise and top training lecture is simply amazing. For majority, doing a sub 3 is a dream.

This is quite possibly the most passive impressive YouTube video I have ever seen. To give an excellent talk about zone 2 training which pretty much covered everything we need to know, whilst completing a under 3 hour Marathon! - quite incredible. I most certainly am not an athlete but have pushed my speeds resulting in injuries and setbacks. So I'm giving this a go for a few Months, I now understand the logic behind it. Thank You for the excellent delivery & information.

I love the concept of low HR training, especially the emphasis on being humble and not worrying about how running slow looks to other people. Also, I'm so impressed that you delivered all of this info in such an organized manner while running a sub-3 marathon. Bravo!! 👏👏👏

He could have said, "eat toothpaste sandwiches every day for a lower HR" and I would have believed him just because of this method of info delivery. 😆

I'm 61 and have been training at a low heart rate for 6 months now. I usually run outdoors but my last run was on a treadmill because it was pouring outside. To my surprise I ran a PB at 7 miles and I could have gone longer, except I needed to pee! I was shocked. Granted, the treadmill was much easier, but still. I loved it! Thanks for all you and your wife do to help us regular folks!

Thank you Floris! Love your videos. Had my biggest mileage week this week (144km at age 68) and could never have managed this without LHR/Zone2 training. The great thing is I wake up feeling quite fresh each day. Hoping to break my age category record at Gold Coast HM (Australia) in 2 weeks time and then run the marathon the next day - as a starter for Comrades 2024 training. Won my age category at Tokyo Marathon this year and broke the Australian single age category record for 67 years. I have learnt so much from your videos (and Stephen Seiler) over the past few years. Thank you again!❤😊 Best take away? Be guided by HR on your watch and stay in the range you have chosen.

Loving this channel and podcast. In 3 months, I’ve gone from 11:27/mi at 145 BPM to 10:05/mi at 140 BPM for 6 mi. Age 40. Biggest takeaway is be content to go slow and ease into speedwork slowly too. Thanks for the awesome content Floris!

11:46 definitely what I needed to hear. I just finished a Z2 workout and I was frustrated that I was basically on the verge of walking just to keep my heart rate down. Happy to know that it’s part of the process, thank you!!
