Running 26.2 miles while filming, holding a camera, with a backpack on your back, and talking the time, and still finished sub 3 hours...much respect to you my friend👏. That is "legend status". Excellent job.👍🏃♂️

This guy is super fit. Running that fast and not even breathing heavy. I would be finished in 2 minutes at his pace. Respect to you.

How amazing that you ran it under 3 hrs, nonchalantly talking to us through it. 👏

Biggest take away: Validating that getting passed by grandmas and walking up hills and looking at HR/time instead of pace/distance can still lead to massive gains. Seeing your pace improvement over time is amazing and the fact that you can run under 7min/mile below MAF is inspiring. I love the idea of easing your body into it, and it has been a turnaround for me as a runner. Before I learned about low HR training I truly hated running. Thank you!!

You captured it succinctly in 25 words: "The concept of low intensity running first, building aerobic base, then adding in some high intensity running. Watching your nutrition, stress, sleep. Everything is connected."

What a freaking legend this guy is. I never thought I had a "big ego" until I started low heart rate training. Told myself I would not increase my pace if my HR crept too high, but that meant a 14 MINUTE MILE to stay under my HR goal. It was this awkward speed that was almost too slow to run but just barely too fast to walk. So I quit. Here I am two years later, still frustrated after only zone 2 training getting absolutely nowhere. Kicking myself because I could be in such a better aerobic spot if I had just kept with it. But this video inspired me to start again, ego aside.

Hands down the best video on how to achieve all your running goals, in a healthy, positive and fulfilling manner. If there is any doubt in your mind, simply watch Floris share all the golden nuggets of MAF training, while “easily” running a sub 3-hour marathon. Listen to how he can talk, how his breathing is and ask yourself “are you like this one your race day?” … if not, follow Floris’ advice and learnings … this is revolutionary and successfully counters the no pain no gain. I’ve followed MAF for a few years, and have improved from a 5-hour marathon, where I could barely stand afterwards to 3h52 and finished dancing. As part of the Personal Best program, there’s still more to chip away at my marathon PB. Thank you Floris! Patience, consistency

I totally share your heart rate disbelief when I first started running! I used to have to run/walk a 3k to keep myself in zone 2 or easy effort, or had to run so slow I was almost walking. A few months later (of very consistent training) I can now do an easy 5k! For anyone new, it does get easier! 😅

Running a marathon while making a content-rich, helpful training tutorial is a legendary move!

20 years ago, at age 35, I started running consistently and finished my first Marathon just under 4 hours. The following year, I finished in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P_VNQ6UIbS8&t=211">3:31</a>… and then… well… I somehow dropped the ball, allowed “life” and other excuses to not train consistently anymore and within the shortest amount of time, my form deteriorated dramatically. It was demoralizing and I almost completely abandoned running for many years. What a shame. It’s just recently that I took it up again. It’s heartbreaking to realize how bad of a shape I’m in now. But I remember my training, my mindset, my experience from back then and now am fully back. It feels absolutely fantastic. Your video, which I stumbled upon randomly, was yet another motivator tog et back into running and even doing marathons again. Thanks man.
