How Fast Can I Run? | 6-Mile Negative Split Run Workout

While I'm not racing a bicycle at the elite level anymore--I retired from that seven years ago--I still do place a lot of importance on fitness and staying in shape. I work out six days a week. Three of those are in the gym. Three of those are running. For as long as I can remember, I have always had a really big aerobic engine. I loved running cross country in high school (though never competitively) and the time trial was my event on the bike, which made me a very solid stage racer, occasional breakaway artist, and frequent race antagonist.

These days, I get my endurance athlete fix from running. To be honest, running is not something I have always loved. I'm still not sure I really "love" running, but as a vehicle for aerobic fitness and pushing myself physically, it has really grown on me over the past year and a half.

In today's video, I'm showing you one of the harder runs I've done recently--a six-mile negative split run with a ramp up through my heart rate zones for four miles until running the last two at threshold.

I owe a lot of my fitness success to my personal trainer, Rick Kattouf. Back in the day when I was an elite-level bicycle racer, I worked with Rick in tandem with my cycling coach. He was my nutritionist and my strength coach. The results spoke for themselves. A three-time duathlon national champion, Rick is the real deal. He's coached many flavors of athletes from pros to weekend warriors. I can personally vouch for his abilities as a coach.

A six mile run and not a hair out of place. Would only expect that from a dapper guy! Good

[danialurmetbek]

Make a video about sport brands and sport looks for gym or for running. I think it will be interesting for your subscribers.

3:17 That steam coming off of you is so motivating!

Nice workout! I’m curious as to what the temperature was? After your run when you were sitting on the grass, it looked like smoke was billowing from your body. I assume it was due to the variance in your body temp and outside temp? I enjoyed this video and cast my vote for more workout videos in the future. Great job!

Half Marathon do it! Love seeing running, cool.

-glad to see you working hard man, keep it up.
-and i gotta say, your hair looked great from start to end. you can actually have this hair and a bit of touching up and you'd be ready to go out dressed well. i wish i had hair like yours! cheers!

That hurt. Used to be a runner, now a cyclist.

Thank you for sharing! Style videos with self improvement/fitness sprinkled throughout is a format I’d love to continue watching.

At the end you should have said “until next time, stay in shape” #plottwist

Running is my mortal enemy! Well not really but either way. I think it's great you decided to do this video, perhaps it could be a gateway for some content on work out wear in the future.

Omg you train exactly with thsese same schedule like i do, 3x gym 3x run :D two completly different and sometimes contrary sports

[jimmyedmondsjr]

Who knew you ran ? Just thought you were naturally slim.

[kikkerman]

[dereks]

You should wear your Datograph. Maybe that will inspire you a little more. Good run!

[cesarsaucedo]

Nice workout, and your hair remained impeccable!!!

[munja]

[ichbin]

Great video, nice to see you keeping a good shape!

[silvanoschmid]

Can you maybe make a video for cyclists and show how we could connect fashion with our body physiognomy

[MTobin]

Brian, thanks a lot. I've been finding every excuse in the world to not get back on my treadmill. A year ago I lost 45 lbs and after reaching that goal, my enthusiasm to stay on the treadmill waned. So a combination of not exercising and not eating a balanced diet I am now, sad to say, gained back just about all of the weight. Just watching your 5 min video showed me how taking things slow and working your way back into shape is the right way to go. Thanks for the kick in the pants to get going again. Thanks man !!!
