    Love this podcast!
    I love the all the guests and content of this show. The balance between being informational and inspirational is spot on!
  • Cipri222
    Loved the science based info
    As a runner I got injured quite a few times and now am trying to do things more “by the book”. That’s why I appreciate a science backed approach to sports, and Floris’ podcast definitely helps in the process. I appreciate the guests that bring a wealth of sound information based on their experience and/or research.

    I am a new runner and I love this podcast. It has more than enough information for me currently and far more advanced information for me later on I have been practicing low heart rate training for a few weeks now, and I have really been noticing a difference, highly suggest this podcast to anyone interested in running.

    Love Floris’s podcast!
    I loved Floris’s content on YouTube. The informative, encouraging content helped me to go from a fat, middle-age couch potato to a fat, middle-age runner doing 11-15km in one session, slowly! Finally found the podcast version, so now I could listen to it on my slow, long runs!!

    Thank you for producing this show. I am two marathons in and just switched over to MAF training. Your shows help talk me down when my training runs are embarrassingly long!

    Let’s keep running

    Outstanding podcast!
    I'm an old runner but new to running podcasts, though I only compete with myself I always try to learn everything I can about it. This is a great show, I've been doing a lot of low hr training as well and found this to be a fantastic helpful learning platform. Great stuff

    My new favorite running podcast
    If you’re interested in running - especially longer distances - this is such a great podcast! Floris has interviewed some of the biggest names in the sport, from athletes, coaches, nutritionists, physiologists, and more. He does so with interesting questions, but more importantly, gives his guests room to express their thoughts and ideas without being constantly interrupted or being pummeled into a certain direction by the host. Those kinds of interviews, where it becomes almost more about the interviewer and their experiences and opinions, drive me nuts. Floris has a wonderful interviewing style, brings his own unique experiences and thoughts to the table when appropriate, and really does manage to evoke so many nuggets of wisdom and insight from some truly inspirational and knowledgeable folks in the world of running. Love the show. Keep up the good work!
  • dear running
    Thank you!
    Dr. Cucuzzella summed up this great episode perfectly towards the end of the podcast: “Running is such a powerful mood enhancer.” Every podcast episode is packed with such helpful running information and tips. This one was particular insightful - running enhancing - through the perspective of a running doctor and athlete. Thank you!

    THE podcast for low heart rate training
    I watched and listen to countless episodes of the show over the years. Floris does a great job and has continue to get better as an interviewer! I’m not sure of a better podcast to listen to if you’re serious about low heart rate training, becoming a faster runner, and achieving your running goals! I feel very fortunate to have discovered this show early on in my running career. Keep it up Floris!
  • Drosophlia
    Informative!
    I’ve learned so much from watching and listening to Floris Gierman! All the topics and people he interviews have taught me so much! Thank you. I am watching him to learn and prepare more for my upcoming Ragnar relay race.
  • JKSmith
    Finally committing to MAF
    These podcasts showing me so many wide ranging success stories of MAF training have finally gotten me to buckle down and start running slow. Super inspiring listening to all of your guests share their concerns, lessons, struggles and ultimately successes has been the light in the darkness while slowing down😣. Thanks for having such amazing content!
  • Parker CJ
    Start of sub 3 journey
    Love this podcast! I learn so much and am understanding the wisdom of how to accomplish a sub 3 marathon. I just want to get out and run after every listen. Sadly, Fargo ND IS -25F.

    Excellent Guests & Content
    This is a great podcast to learn about MAF (Maffetone) running, training, and nutrition strategies from accomplished, sometimes world renowned, runners. Much appreciated.
  • Lizarlington
    Always learning from Extramilest
    First-time reviewer as I’ve been hooked on this podcast for the past two months. Playing catch-up with earlier episodes as they remain fully relevant. Floris asks the most informed questions and gives his guests the time and space to talk in detail about their origin story, short and long term approach, triumphs and challenges, mindset and habits. He’s the perfect host who runs an efficient, friendly and information-packed session. He will ask that seemingly arcane question you were wondering about and he shares his own experiences where they relate to the conversation. Gierman’s own running story is fascinating in itself. Pleased to have discovered this podcast gem. It’s given new life to my running.
  • The Raw Warrior

    This podcast is great, It gives me great tips from experienced marathon runners, I really enjoy learning more about low heart heart training, which enables you to run slower which will eventually give you a faster mile time. Please keep the great content coming.
  • Heath in SC
    Good show
    Great info provided by the host and the guests. Interesting content, especially the low HR training.
  • Shrooman777
    Invaluable resource
    This podcast has been the single greatest resource for my journey with low heart rate running. Not only for all the great information how to improve as a runner, but also for Floris’s thoughtful questions about athletes’ struggles and frustration with low heart rate training, after feeling many of the same frustrations despite my starting point being far behind professional athletes. I can’t recommend it enough.
  • Fotfkc

    Extramilest Matt Fitzgerald
    Without a doubt the best podcast for runners. His knowledge and love of running coupled with calm demeanor and friendly tone of voice make Floris the perfect interviewer. Matt Fitzgerald awesome wordsmith, self-deprecating humorist, dedicated running coach and cheerleader. Fun to listen to, knowledge to take home. Thanks for this great work.
  • Persistent Gra
    Floris “gets it”
    These are amazing podcasts with a solid grounding in science and safety with mindfulness. Anyone can follow these concepts of “life long learning”. Running is something one should get into for the long haul with the learning being the goal aiming for mastering knowing you will never truly get to the moment you can’t learn something else. Personally I have an SVT (Supra ventricular tachycardia) that kicks in (heart rate 223) whenever start too fast and I get anaerobic too soon. It feels like a gut punch. My chest feels strange and I get flushed due to additional adrenaline rush when I sense the change. Knowing what triggers the SVT has allowed me to start MAF training so I can progress without the “Elephant in the room” waking up.
  • AdwInNY
    This pod is a gem
    Floris’s enthusiasm for endurance and low heart rate training is infectious. The guests are great and the discussions yield information you can apply to your training immediately.

    Been a while
    Or Atleast it seems like it... Anyway I totally enjoy this podcast and different perspectives on training and further explanations on what easy running truly is in correlation with low hr training
  • KStrobe
    Highly recommended- 5 stars!
    I’m so glad I found this podcast and was introduced to the idea of LHR training. I’m a believer in this approach. Floris and guests do an amazing job explaining the importance and benefits of this holistic way of training. I highly recommend this podcast!
  • Mike Stallone (no relation)
    Fantastic
    I came across this podcast recently when I was researching MAF training and I am so happy to have found it! Floris does an incredible job of interviewing the many guests and really letting them shine. It’s been really helpful in my own training to hear that many of the struggles I am facing are not unique to me. Currently making my way through the entire catalog of episodes and I haven’t been disappointed yet!
  • Jack in MA
    Really goes deep with LHR training!
    I appreciate how Floris always seems to extract lots of useable training wisdom nuggets from chatting with each guest. I have applied much of what I have heard to my own LHR training journey! Great show!

    Informative and inspiring podcast!
    I have enjoyed every episode in this podcast. Floris usually explores the practice, challenges, and enormous benefits of low heartrate training, in particular, the Maffetone Method. If you are interested in this training method, I think you'll enjoy these podcasts too!
