Beau Miles
I rarely have “jaw drop” moments, but when I saw the two heart rates side by side - wow!😮
GTN interviewer was still talking in complete sentences despite pulse of 188 - so according to RPE scale we've been preached over and over he was still in zone 2?
@@kennethward9530In Z2 I'm singing, he is breathing hard and those are not sentences. Cmon man
@@kennethward9530hahah I always said the z2 talk test is a load of rubbish 😄
What!!!! Kilian Jornet on the GTN show!! 😱🤯!! I had to stop everything to watch this 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽! Pure awesomeness 😎.
I love Killians' attitude, he doesn't appear to allow ego to determine what projects he does. He could turn up to UTMB every year and be the superstar but he choices the road less travelled and always looks for new ways to grow, physically, mentally and spiritually, thats cool.
"The eagles are flying in circles... It means there's a cadaver here... I think it's you" Savage.
Jornet. - has a VO2 max of 92ml. (One of the highest ever recorded). Most olimpic athletes have 75-85. - and resting heart rate of 32. (Only ones who got lower are few top cyclists). Going up to a max of 205. So he is not just a top athlete. He is someone with the best parameters in history by a big margin. And someone who is pushing far from what humans could do.
Allegedly. And quite a few question marks.
That is a ridiculous spread of heart rates!
no one with a vo2max over 90 is clean, no one! not greg lemond either
@@cypriano8763 isn't vo2max just your lung volume? Not sure Peds change that figure, I would have thought it changes the utilisation of said volume.
@@ln5747 your red blood cell count absolutely affects your vo2max. Oxygen carrying capacity right. Also, recovery has critical impact. Being able to do big blocks of trainings, like 30 to 40 weeks increases vascularity, blood volume, mitochondrial density and size. All this increases vo2max. Stringing consecutive big days together is huge. Does utmb even test anyone?? You see
Super interesting interview and impressive to do an interview while dying with an over 180 HR!!!
Trail runner? Dude's a legendary skyrunner if anything. Insane you got him on GTN!
Or everything… 😂
To win UTMB, Sierre Zinal, Hardrock 100 etc. several times would certainly qualify you as trail runner and ultra runner as well.
As a subscriber from La Cerdanya… watching a video from the channel in La Cerdanya WITH Kilian is PURE JOY!! Congrats, team!! ❤
Great video and really nice to see your different puls and how effective he run . And we all know that Mark is a really good runner. A different perspective. So happy for you to have him as guest.
WOW I love this! Thanks for sharing with us! I was smiling the whole video, very humbling.
Love it! It's outrageous how good Kilian is.
Awesome questions asked and answers given! He seems to be quite a humble person. Cheers to a great video!
probably one of the best interview i've ever seen, Kilian Jornet is the real GOAT and you did really well, there was no stupid question and even if i'm a big fan and i knew a lot of things about Kilian, i still have learn a lot !
I'm building my aerobic base now and seeing Killian's heart rate on that climb is inspiring. His volume (in time) is insane and sounds like an awesome life. I'd love to see you run with any of the elite trail runners male or female. They've all put in so much work and have built such capacity that it's inspiring.
damn. he ran up that hill faster than gravity allows me to fall out of bed
Epic effort💪! Best interview ever 🙌! Good job!
Fantastic format!
Thanks GTN for this video. Always a pleasure to watch G.O.A.T.👍🙏🙏🙏
Mark, congratulations! Nothing wrong with running with an icon!
Excellent video
Absolutely stunning!
Focusing on the connection between our eyes, muscles and feet. An interesting tip!
he's a legend!
Best guest on the channel ever!
Kilian 🙌🏽 🙌🏽 🙌🏽 🐐
Kilian is such a warm and friendly person. It's hard to comprehend just how capable he is. One example would be his time from Chamonix to the summit of Mont Blanc and back in c. 4:45. This is competely off the chart. His biochemistry is also rather odd: he did the traverse from Courmayeur to Chamonx over Mont Banc (up the Innominata ridge, which is a D+ Alpine route) in 8:43 - with just 500ml of fluid and a few gels. I'm sure he would have had the potentual to be a Tour de France GC contender if he'd been interested in cycling.
Amazing to see the epic fitness of KJ! =D
Trail running is hard. I enjoy the technicality it’s a nice stimulation for the brain.
Life complete, indeed! Once you hit the trails there's no going back to pounding tarmac.
Amazing that you got to train with Kilian! He is soooo impressive. Always shocked to see his Starva stats😅
Mark + Killian = Instant Like 😎
Good advice about downhill running. Pick your line and commit. Lightness of stride is achievable on rough terrain. I hike in the white mts of northern nh usa. Slab, cobble and loose rock. Once you hit a rhythm you can really haul. Hes right about ankle strength for sure.
YEAAAAH!! What a time to be alive, GTN AND Kilian Jornet?!?! Haven't watched past the intro yet and I'm already excited hahaha
enjoy!
3years old doing 12k cross country whaaaaaat??? Congrats for making this video while surviving that torture:))
Cross country ski race. He is a legend 🤩
I can't help but feel that Kilian's HR is only going up because he is talking... Well done you for managing to ask some questions despite the HR! also didnt realise it wasnt just me that had watery eyes on downhill so that's also good to know!
AWESOME!
He's not "one of the best ultrarunners out there", he's arguably the best bever by miles!!. Plus also then best on mountain skiing!!. Pride of Catalunya!!
Awesome 👏
I've ran up this very same hill many many times... It's a short but steep climb! Obviously Kilian is at the top of the segment on Strava 🤣
I liked the video even before watching it 😆
great content :) he seems so down to earth and u Mark did a great job being able to talk with 180bpm heheheh
the dreamed episode ! 🎖🎖☀
Kilian is so great 🦿🦿!
Well, i guess i would go half the speed and have a 180 BPM HR.... ^^ Btw: please show the ankle-part to Si and Dan...
Wonderful video, really enjoyable.. Im curious though towards the session, could someone explain please - I mean, was it climbing for 20min followed by decent for 15? And then repeat or did I miss something. I recon it would be good workout at the gym
Epic 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼🙌🙌🙌
'look far ahead n try remember what coming to your feet' tips seems similar like skiing n snowboarding. we dont look down to feet as we need to pay attention ahead where we are going 🤔
That HR! WTF!
no to utmb no to ironman. support local races that actually support communites instead of vail resorts and private equity.
AND races and organizations that don't advocate for massive global travel at the expense of nature!!
The GOAT himself
watch out for Asia trail runners champion.. John Ray Onifa and Milton Amat.. they are brutal trail runners..
Do Joaquin Lopez in Cuenca Ecuador! He runs trainings for trail running at 8500 ft!
the heart rate difference is a joke, Kilian is an alien
Hello Killian ❤
Heats off to Mark, seems he struggled with HR but didn't complain
Kilian - I mainly just do zone 2/3..... Yeah, but that’s everyone else’s zone 5!
3:09 the bpm difference is crazy !
Kilian is a god.
I'm usually impressed by how fit Mark is so it's rather mind blowing to see him compared to a top elite runner like Kilian
He is not only an elite.. he is the top of the elites by quite a big margin. So, even an elite compared to him would look weak... lol But congrats on the interview. Just being fit enough to be able to train with him is amazing.
Dude’s fighting for his life while Kilian just casually talking. lmao!
😂
Poor Mark is always the Guinea Pig - Great work!
Around min 14 what was Kilian saying? “Nosaltres el que voliem…” jo vull saber que volies haha
afaik the guy has a pretty incredible VO2 max
As big former advocates of the Wahoo ELMNT, curious what you've thought of Coros and how it compares to brand like Polar and Garmin?
🎥👏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
The 2 heart rates = great content
HOW is that even possible? This other dude is fit and he is rocking a 180 HR while Killian is rolling 120? That's not even human LOL. This explains so much:)
Kilian's HR is ridiculous. That's me cycling downhill.
175 vs 125. thats crazy
Where in the Pyrenees is this? It looks gorgeous
Just along from Font Romeu
Dude's redlining at 190bpm while Kilian is at a cool 130. Crazy. I'm sure they didn't send an out of shape dude to do this either.
Killian's pointing out advantages of strong, chunky ankles suggests to me presenters at GCN owe Simon Richardson an apology or two.
Kilian jonet vo²max is 90.2.
A genetic freak and seems like a nice guy. Loved seeing the contrast between chill and pure suffering 😂
Very interesting. I will NOT be practicing hopping on my ankle!
I liked the video👍
Mark: ‘So how much of that is actually running?’ Killian: ‘40-80km per week so basically nothing’ And there was me thinking my 75km per week of running was a strong effort 😭
My question is what is his resting hr asleep!😮
33 at rest, probably close to the hr of a blue whale while sleeping
Kilian: "Blablablablablabla..." Mark: "OK!" Kilian: "Blablablablablabla..." Mark: "Yeah!"
I was impressed that the man could talk at 180+ BPM
Haha that was as much as I could manage 🤣
Sure He is......like a runner and like a people
the heart rate values lol
Most runners would do well to do something else mostly for one season a year.
And my ankle won't do that. Lol.
Kilian has highest ever VO2 max, I read somewhere
Not highest ever but one of the highest.
My heartrate would be zero by the end of all that lol
well done for trying to speak at 180 bpm ))
I love my COROS watch...and their customer support is simply excellent! So happy to see you guys partner up with COROS! ~Megan
Bros heart rate is 114 going up the hill 😂
Avg HR 135 🗿🗿🗿
It’s because all the gear you had to carry you were on a disadvantage 😂
That’s what it was 😂
Watery eyes? That’s called crying😅
"Dacia" Utmb and the ironman organization are beginning to ruin our sports. Yes they:ve done some good for our sports, but that does never excuse what they are doing now
Wtfffffff he has a bpm of 113 running up a hill??? Is that genetic or can I achieve that at all ever with training
Genes with a ton of training I imagine
Genes 80%and tons of training 20%
He’s running every single day since he was a kid, you can’t imagine how many km!! This is insane
His training is legendary. Don’t worry about genetics. You’re most likely not training hard enough for the genetic component to matter.
ITS Fake !!!!!
