awesome content guys, would love more of this in future, one of my fav athletes as well so all the better!

[@pillarperformance]

Thank you @@CalebNoonan83 ! Appreciate your kind words here. Great to have the opportunity to work with Brett on this.

[@laurenmillyx]

Would love to see more days in the life/ full days of eating from other athletes too!

The form coach was a cool thing that isn’t seen often. A lot of people say that you don’t want to change it too much, but I think there’s little chance of injury if it’s done one thing at a time. Over the years, I’ve transitioned from a heel striker to a mid foot striker and I’ve fixed my arm carriage; reduced upper body torsion. No injuries from any of that and I’m a much more efficient runner.

[@pillarperformance]

Glad you enjoyed that section! It was great to get an insight into how @TheBalancedRunner helps Brett. Awesome to hear that you did similar to improve your technique.

[@TheBalancedRunner]

Thanks @ggardner5784 - couldn't agree more.

[@rte4634]

Keep up the good work. When I was a runner, in my mind recovery and nutrition were almost more important than the training. I'm 60 now, live in the States, still going to the gym and run occasionally. Good luck I'm pulling for you.

I love running content on CZcams. The running scene online is so wholesome

[@pillarperformance]

We love it too!

[@YuTubeWeTube]

Excellent video, thanks making this!

[@timawn]

Wouldn't mind a day in the life of Nelson video next tbh 🤷‍♂️

[@ArturKoziara]

Really well done video, it was interesting for me.😊

[@LukasBradley]

Fantastic video. Love the content.

[@pillarperformance]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@user-gj4wn1rl1n]

Great video!

[@Ouga_Official]

Damn, 4k just for the warm up haha, I mean that's half my typical running distance.... like the whole run

[@pillarperformance]

We all have to start somewhere. You've got this!

[@scottcadby5469]

Great video Jarrod!

[@pillarperformance]

Appreciate it Scott :)

[@boss_tum]

what a beautiful place to run

[@luisdeltoro1]

Very interesting to see that even Brett Robinson needs a bit of help with his running technique, if he's working on it I think I should do too 😂

[@giovanbattistafichera8439]

at the level he runs, he needs all the help he can get. I'm surprised he doesn't have a coach for the mindset aspect of it.

[@99cya]

i do some recreational running and i recently started sessions with a personal trainer for general strength and fitness. im glad to see some gym and also stretching routines that we do both 🙂 gives me confidence that my trainer really knows what hes doing.

[@sunnydays5581]

long distance/marathon elite training really is a religion

[@pillarperformance]

It really is

[@uMsubathi]

Cool guy

[@ChristopherHill2293]

I rate the chemex set-up, Brett

[@bodybysoul_]

Have you ever thought of training in Iten, Kenya, with some of those elite runners?

[@forthekudos]

[@EggsForDessert]

This guys dog is like “walkies again….naw naw bro. Imma stay here and watch tv.”

[@pillarperformance]

He was not having it

[@ryngkhlem.5373]

What do you drink before bed time

[@TheBeast-hd9bl]

Anyone any idea how many calories did he consume ? Macros ??

[@szymonpietraszek3295]

What's the name of the app at the beginning?

[@pillarperformance]

WHOOP

[@Pvm87]

How can you eat so often and run so often and not have stomach problems?

[@MR-wh5wp]

He said during his 2nd run that he felt a bit sick 😅

[@MobBless97]

what watch is that he runs with ? Anyone

[@pillarperformance]

Coros Pace 2!

[@MobBless97]

@@pillarperformance thank you !

[@petersunnie6463]

Do your tatts make you run faster?

[@patrickgeorgegalvin7763]

Well the marketing worked. Just dropped 80 bucks on Pillar Training Defence Bundle

[@pillarperformance]

Hope you enjoy it Patrick! Be sure to let us know how you get on.
With the Triple Magnesium: be sure to shake (not stir) 200-250ml of lukewarm water 1 hour before bed. Also if you track your sleep with WHOOP, Oura, Garmin etc, be sure to pay attention to your deep sleep levels. This relates to the physical restoration of sleep :)

[@pagalvin1]

@@pillarperformance Method noted, like James Bond. Shaken not stirred.

[@laurenmillyx]

You know you are marathon training when “speed” is 2km reps😂

[@Daimoku1938]

buy a road bike and stop the non-sense !!!
