Julien Wanders is one of the most promising young distance runners in the west.

At just 21 years of page, he already has 1:01:43 Half Marathon to his name, along with 28:02 for 10km on the road, as well as 13:37 5000m on the track.

Julien is based in Kenya and if you haven’t been following him on social media (where he posts plenty of awesome stuff on his training), he is training like an absolute beast! Long tempo runs of 20-25km at an average of under 3:20/km up in the mountains of Kenya is standard stuff.

In this interview, we talk about all things training. Weight training, interval training, summary of his weekly schedule, diet, living arrangements, coaching situation etc.

This is part 1, available for everyone to listen to. Part 2 is available to subscribers of Sweat Elite only and you’ll find that here. To subscribe, it’s just $1/week and you’ll gain access to this full interview, hundreds of articles on elite athlete training including over 15 articles on Eliud Kipchoge’s training. over 20 articles on Mo Farah’s training, many articles on David Rudisha’s training and much more.

“Just being able to find a sustainable amount of work, is really important for me. Doing 200km a week, I might be a little bit better, but I would have burnt out 5 or 6 years ago and I wouldn’t still be running.” – Max King

Max King was the winner at the 2014 IAU 100 km World Championships and the 2011 World Mountain Running Championships.

On top of this, Max has run an 8:30 steeplechase on the track, as well as a 2:14 marathon!

The guy has serious range.

In this conversation, we speak with Max about all things training, his base in Oregon and why it’s so good for training, as well as his future plans.

Emil Zatopek won the 5000m, 10000m and the Marathon at the 1952 Helsinki Olympic Games in the same fortnight.

This has never been done by anyone else in history.

To add to this astonishing achievement, it was his first time running the marathon.

Zatopek was known to train on his own in the harsh Czech winters, regularly completing insane workouts such as 50x400m, 100x100m as well as carry his wife on his back for resistance training.

This interview is with Richard Askwith who studied Emil Zatopek’s life and wrote the book Today We Die a Little: The Rise and Fall of Emil Zátopek, Olympic Legend. 

Richard set off on a journey to Prague and personally interviewed many people close to Zatopek.
