Hi there, I’m Floris Gierman from extramilest.com. I talk about marathon running and becoming a faster, healthier and happier athlete. Many athletes want to run a Sub 3 Hour Marathon, Boston Qualifier or Marathon PR, but they do not know how to accomplish this. You’ve come to the right place! I ran my first marathon in 4 hours 11 minutes and it was a miserable experience. 5 years later I ran the Boston Marathon in 2 hours 44 minutes, a PR by 87 minutes and it felt great! Over the years I’ve done a lot of research, conducted countless self-experiments, and surrounded myself with some of the brightest minds in health, fitness and endurance sports. I’ve learned how to become a faster, healthier and happier athlete.

BIG THANK YOU to all 300+ people who answered my question "what more content would you like to see in this newsletter, on the Extramilest Podcast and my YouTube channel?"(Congrats Paul Knight for winning the $200 gift card from PathProjects.com) The most requested content is more videos from recreational, non-elite runners, because it's relatable to other runners. Also several requests for specific training / racing content, elite interviews and movement / running / fitness experts. Today a new Extramilest Show with a recreational runner: "My heart rate is low, I'm not even running in any kind of strained way, I'm completely relaxed, and yet I'm just killing it, I'm crushing it, so imagine what you can do in a race situation." - William Bart on Extramilest Show #92 William Bart, a passionate non-elite runner from Los Angeles, Boston Marathon qualifier, and advocate for mindful training, shares his transformative journey of overcoming injuries, embracing zone 2 / MAF low heart rate running, and finding joy in consistency and intentional living.

Hey Reader, One of my favorite ways to measure my fitness and progress is a MAF test. Here’s how it works: Find a flat course (a track, treadmill, or consistent road works best).
