Really interesting.

And he said, you know, probably not.

He was like, I should be working at speed.

He said when he was a kid, he used to run, you know, five miles a day or seven miles a day.

I can't quite remember what he said, but he said he used to run it hard and fast.

Yeah.

And over time he became fit and fast.

And he kind of made the simple point that had he ran that five miles really slowly every day, if it ever came to running a really fast five miles, then I don't think he'll be better off for having ran it slowly.

Obviously, this raises the question of,

can you run fast all week long and not get injured and recover properly and, you know, and fuel all of that perfectly.

You know, Stephen was a professional athlete.

So I reckon he probably approached his training differently to how we all approach our training.

But I did find it

It does make sense, right?

And by the way, I don't know if anyone listening feels the same way.

I can't run in zone two, really.

Like, I will drift into zone three for at least half of a two-hour effort, even if I'm trying to keep my heart rate really low.

Like, I have some friends who are really fit who…

Josh Rose, for example, who we ran Tokyo together.

Yeah.
