It's so cool to see these athletes training, their conversations and how they view training in general. I especially liked when they mentioned that Jimmy was out of shape, but that in 2 weeks, he already looked different. This is what makes the big difference between normal and special athletes. I still thought at the beginning of the video, that Jimmy wouldn't even talk, but then he was very humble and collaborative in the video. Well done Matt! This channel keeps getting better!

Great to see more European athletes! This one looked super hard damn

[@shanegill5091]

I felt like I was part of the group when you filmed that rep from behind.
As real as it gets!

[@philipwood7673]

I'm curious to know what logic, if any, is behind the order of the reps. Is the effect different from doing it as 3 x 2k followed by 3 x 1k, or 3 sets of 2k/1k?

[@prof_Pomari]

From my personal experience it's useful to:
-make the session mentally less boring.
-perform better on the longer repeats and in the workout overall (because you are spreading out the hardest bits).
NB that's just my personal experience, not sure if these top athletes do it for the same reasons hahah

[@jacobreesmontgomery]

oh my this course is wild, seems
horrific for videoing 💀🤣

[@paro_conseil]

Jimmy Gressier started running at 17.
In his first 10k , he ran 40’. Two months later, he ran 32’30, and a few months later, he ran 32’04.

Really?

I do love Saysky and I rock their apparel regularly but you went from Soar to saysky rather quickly😅

Both sponsor our videos 💙

Saysky clothes look really cool but their and Soar's products are incredibly overpriced...

Anyone know what the Nike jacket is ? Green?

ID on that green nike jacket?

Is jimmy running faster or slower than mike?

[@kevingaughan2872]

Do you still get the effects of the shoes running on dirt like that? Aren't they made for road surfaces?

[@JonathanvG-wj1ro]

Very little if at all

[@frannaranjo9392]

Where is this place?

[@hadrienmereau7229]

It's in Font Romeu, in French Pyrenees, near Spanish boarder. Many athletes train there like Martin Fourcade, Mo Farah, Vincent Luis, Norwegian triathletes etc.

Looking at this video tells me a lot about europeans elites🤦🏿
