Great content. It’s impressive to see how healthy both of you and Nico have been, given the intensity of your training. Hope you guys have another record breaking year.
Thanks. I like the electromagnetic stimulation tool. In fact, I am getting one of those PEMF Matts. And your comments about hydration and sleep are totally spot on.
As a middle schooler running in the 11s (2 miles)I need every tip I can get for recovering with my busy schedule outside of running. Thanks for making great content that’s useful and entertaining at the same time! You’re every middle school runners’ dream😂.
@@jacobluecker3313 u guys are hecka fast I’m like way slower than u my mile only 7, but I honestly haven’t done any consistent good training until the past few weeks I’m at 14 miles a week rn building to 25
Just ran a 16:47 yesterday, i rolled ankle pretty bad, but it was a pr and its only the beginning of the season i hope to go sub 16 this year, im a sophomore.
Back in my day the mantra was harder work which was wrong. By race day you were totally burned out. Learning from teaching myself later in life, when running I could do great training every other day, giving myself a day off every other day. I didn't feel so fatigued and was a lot stronger when running.
Great video. A lot of great info compressed into 8 minutes. Recover and been the “secrete” part of every successful H.S. coaches’ formula to success. Most students aren’t willing to do the “work” outside of practice.
Can u make a video of ur times when u were younger and how u trained back then and when u started running. I’m a 13 year old distance runner and I just ran 17:00 for a 5k around 2 weeks ago.I love ur videos and hope that I can become as fast as u guys.
@@cuberunner3289 that’s crazy, I’m only trying to build up to 25 miles a week, lex and Leo where only doing mileage levels in the low 40s in freshman high school
Good Luck this season L&L. Found this video to be useful. Last week and this week have been a busy week for me, since I am packing and moving to TX on Sep 26, which is my bday. Will be busy for six months since I will be working full time at my family business as an intern. One reason I am moving to TX are rent and living expenses are expensive in CA.
Stumbled across this channel just recently and found it so inspiring and amazing. I compete in triathlons but have always loved running over everything else. But i’ve suffered w multiple stress fractures in my shins and was wondering what would be the best way to recover and prevent it from happening again?
This is great information that I will be using to help recovery! I assume stretching is something you guys also do regularly? Also, what is the song called in your video "We Scored 16 Points at the California State Meet!! NEWBURY PARK" during 5:35 - 7:11?
Great tips! I totally understand and agree with all of these. One thing you maybe should have added is the importance of stretching after runs and warming up before runs. Great vid as usual!
6:28. there should be no limit on your sleep but there should be a limit to your minimum amount. you want to sleep as much as possible with the highest quality possible
About your tip on drinking water, some days I'm really good at getting in my water, but others, I'm lucky to get a single 16oz glass in. It's strange to me, but my mother always had an issue with drinking water in the sense that she hardly ever drinks it yet is perfectly hydrated. It seems to trend in her side of the family to feel and function fine with very minimum water intake and to have zero signs or direct test/examination results that tell us we are dehydrated. I am curious if this is a poor habit our bodies have adjusted to at a young age, or if there's more to it - something diagnosable.
I used to feel the same way, and i would only drink water during dinner and after runs in the summer, and I wouldn’t feel dehydrated. I started drinking half my body weight in ounces and soon it felt normal to drink this much more water than I used to before. Sometimes i added flavored electrolytes to make the water taste better, but it didn’t take to long to get used to normal water. Sorry for throwing this paragraph at you so late.
Wow great video! At 4:23 ish you mention how spreading water consumption helps the body but no support is added and I feel like it would be a stronger claim if evidence was given
1) do you think you're creating a risk factor for hyponatremia drinking so much water? 2) been following your channel for a while. Never heard of Firefly until now
Hello! I noticed how you mentioned you use Maurten's Caffein gel before hard workouts or runs. What brand/form of caffein-if it all-do you use before races? Roughly how much do you use? Thanks in advance.
Awesome content guys, any thoughts on PT/stretch routines? I pulled my soleus a while ago and then started stretching like crazy every day which seemed to help Insanely much with my injury and recovery in general
I'm not Leo or Lex but I do run a 4:12 mile so my input might be useful, I personally think active stretching before a run and static later in the day after is one of the best things you can do for recovery and success. Having that mobility enables you to run so much more consistently and have less muscle fatigue. Would always recommend stretching, whatever you can fit into your schedule. Using a foam roller before a run or workout is great too
I could be wrong but aren't free stuff like cold showers, stretching and some fasted training enough? If you're dedicated you should also not let your stressful running limit training hours. Do like Van der Poel and Almgren.
Shouldn’t you have the carbs and protein in your system before the workout so you body can start rebuilding right away? Won’t eating after be worse because your body takes time to absorbs and circulate these nutrients?
Hi Lex and Leo young I am a huge fan of yawls channel I just had a couple of questions I was wanting to ask y’all want kind of Protein powder would you recommend also what kind of electrolyte drink would you recommend to replenish your electrolytes after you run and also in the video I saw some Cliff bars would y’all recommend those for protein bars thanks
You guys have trained well, however, cut out all that sugar from those antioxidants juices and reduce your carb load by 25% and uptake clean protein by the same amount, roughly about 100 to 110g daily while training. Your energy needs to come from the natural fats in the protein, eggs, beef, butter and ghee or Tallow or both. Carbs and sugar like in that smoothie after a huge workout are not it, do 32 oz of electrolytes instead, plain LMNT. If not used for fuel then it turns to a huge sugar spike in insuln and puts the liver thru serious work trying to metabolize it. Great work tho!
You guys are so determined, this is the rise of the fastest distance runners ever.

Thank you for this advice! I will definitely be keeping these numbers in mind surrounding daily life and recovery from exercise.
By far my favorite video of theirs
Because of this I broke 16 (on the slowest course in state) as a Sophomore, Thank You

Stretching is highly overrated to be honest. Lots of evidence shows it’s actually more harmful, as you can overextend your muscles
