About

One random Tuesday (and a few beers in), I heard Green Day’s The Grouch: β€œI was a young boy that had big plans – now I’m just another shitty old man…” Horrified that this was fast becoming my life story, I decided the cure was to chase a sub-2:30 marathon. Some call it a mid-life crisis β€” I prefer to think of it as a wildly delusional quest for glory. Either way, I’m training with the Norwegian Singles approach and documenting every step: marathon training diaries, strength sessions, running science, and the highs and lows of chasing a big, borderline-ridiculous goal. πŸ“Œ Subscribe to follow the journey and see if I can actually pull it off. #MarathonTraining #NorwegianMethod #Sub230Marathon #RunningTips #JimmyRuns

Video Description

After a year of no progress and injuries, I’ve switched to the Norwegian Singles Approach β€” a high-frequency, low-intensity training style made famous by the Ingebrigtsens and adapted by James Copeland. This video is my first fitness test since starting Norwegian Singles. I filmed it POV-style at parkrun so you can see exactly how it felt going all-out after a month of this new training. πŸ‘‰ What you’ll see: βœ… How Norwegian Singles feels in practice βœ… My first fitness test results after 1 month βœ… Lessons I’ve learned so far adapting the method βœ… What this could mean for my sub-2:30 marathon journey πŸ‘Œ Subscribe for more great videos! https://www.youtube.com/@jimmyrunsoz?sub_confirmation=1 πŸƒβ€β™‚οΈβ€βž‘οΈ Follow me on Strava: https://www.strava.com/athletes/jimmyruns πŸ‘‰ Use code JIMMYRUNS for 10% off Movement Vault: https://app.movementvault.com/auth/affiliate#via=james
