The SECRET Training that’s making me FASTER for the OLYMPICS | My Journey to the Paris 2024 Olympics

We are entering the last couple of months before the Olympics, the biggest race of my life!!
Follow my journey here on KZread. I hope you’ll like it. Sit back, relax, and enjoy :)
This video is about a double workout day, inspired by the Norvegian training method. The double threshold day is said to be developed by Marius Bakken, and famously applied by Olympic Champion Jakob Ingebritsen.
However, I don’t exactly run double threshold. My paces are defined by my feeling, not by lactate measurements, and it is likely that I go over the lactate threshold.
Today’s workouts are the following:
1) MORNING
- 20min warm-up
- 5x2000m, rest 2min
- 3mk cool down
2) EVENING
- 4km warm-up
- 12x400m, rest 1min. Last 400m at 95% of maximum effort.
- 10min cool down

    Besides the running you mostly rest to recovery on these training camps, I assume. Would be nice to see what you do outside of training to kill time (besides editing videos). Do you take naps?Also your food pattern might be a nice thing to cover, especially how you plan you carb-rich meals for specific trainings. What do you take as protein rich meals? That kind of stuff...

  • @Johnheymansrun

    I run very easy. 4’20-4’40/km for about 10km in the morning and 8km in the afternoon. Sometimes with strides in the afternoon as well. All by feel. If I happen to feel great, I try not to exceed 4’20/km pace.
