0:40 is it Jaycub or Yakub?
1:00 - today's episode is about...
2:08 - what's my background?
3:09 - Will I copy Jakob's training exactly? What adaptations will I make?
3:24 - Time based vs rep/distance
3:35 - F*** the treadmill

4:26 - what's the goal? What are my current PRs?
5:25 - ways I might fail? Injury
5:45 - ways I might fail? Not executing training properly, threshold too fast
6:05 - ways I might fail? Not complying with the actual training
6:21 - What's success besides PRs?
6:33 - What's success besides PRs? Build base towards winter marathon
7:03 - What did I learn from Copying Clayton

13:04 - I'm blue in the face, thanks for sticking around











Jakob Ingebrigtsen’s training is one of the most discussed in distance running: double threshold, high volume, relentless consistency. On paper, it’s simple. In practice, it’s risky, especially outside a professional environment.

Before I attempt to follow this plan, this episode breaks down:

The most likely ways this experiment fails (injury, compliance, intensity errors)

My fitness and training background going into it (recent marathon block, high-volume experience)

What I learned from the Copying Clayton series—and what I’m carrying forward

The adaptations I’m making to account for real-world constraints

What success actually looks like before the first workout even happens

At the end of the video, I walk through the actual 12-week training log I’ll be using so you can see exactly what’s on the calendar before the experiment begins:
