Did you know that Kenenisa Bekele was doing thirty 100m strides EVERY day leading up to the 2020 Olympic Marathon?
I'll teach you how to use these two powerhouses in your running. You'll get some coaching on how to use sleep to increase growth hormone, and I'll also cover:
- what pace to run strides at
- how many to do
- why they work

Love this training! Strides have transformed my training. Surprisingly, increased sleep has been one of the hardest things to incorporate for me. Thank you, Andrew!

Sleeping 9-10 hours would be lovely. However, I have four kids, a wife and tax seasons to contend with so my only time to run is when they are sleeping at 4 am. I’m happy with 6-7 hours and the occasional eight.

Awesome!
-
You sure love your strides.

I tried strides for the first time today. I must say I feel fatigued. They felt good during the run though
-
Some of us also have to pay attention to the temporal distance between the last ingestion and bedtime so our bladder doesn't wake us up.

If I sleep for more than 7 hours, then I have a problem falling asleep at the right time. I lie in bed and toss from side to side. I would like to sleep more, and I also have time for naps in the afternoon, but it completely disrupts my biological clock. Do you think using sleep aids, like melatonin, does affect the quality of sleep, and consequently, the quality of regeneration during sleep?

Good luck to those people sleeping only 3-4H/day even if they can sleep up to 7-8H. It's gonna bite them one of these days.

How can you sleep 10 hours? Must be a skill, even on the weekends when I don't use my alarm to wake up, I wake up at the 7hour mark to go to the bathroom or something and am up from then. Is it that you just force yourself to stay in bed and catch 3 more hours?

I know sleep is very good for mental rejuvenation but for physical recovery, how is sleep different from just lying down? Like lying down working on a laptop, reading, etc.
