    Ultimate Running Technique for Faster Speed At A Low Heart Rate | Lawrence van Lingen

    Most runners try to run faster by pushing harder, but the real breakthrough is learning to move better. If you’re a midlife runner struggling with form, efficiency, or recurring injuries—or you want to run faster without driving your heart rate through the roof—this conversation is for you. In this episode of The Endurance Lab Podcast, I sit down with Lawrence van Lingen (movement specialist + structural integration therapist) to break down the simple movement tools that can dramatically improve your running economy, reduce wasted energy, and help you run faster at a lower heart rate.Lawrence isn’t about copying “perfect form” or obsessing over cadence. His approach is about restoring natural movement, improving posture, timing, and coordination so running feels smoother, more powerful, and less injury-prone especially for runners in their 40s, 50s, and 60s. This video provides practical running tips for anyone looking to optimize their running form and technique to unlock performance gains. 📚 Lawrence van Lingen Resources:YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@UC0jzRxCAyA7tTH-85PmFMqw Website:https://www.lawrencevanlingen.com/How to tie a flow rope: https://youtu.be/PaRyU98ulPs?si=O0mKbDBgngXt6tkwHow to use a flow rope to improve your movement:https://youtu.be/5QqiDMrMSzs?si=UgdKqtYEeJv-YY44DIY tire pull setup for resisted walking:https://youtu.be/bjeMevjD59k?si=BY4QRKGL3xhLKu5IBackward walking for running performance:https://youtu.be/qNcwOix9Uac?si=cjmWjfGsRZgS-cgTHappy hip hack:https://youtu.be/vOdqpJjDH_A?si=nPbGX81mTlA4tcA-In this conversation, we cover:✅ Why “perfect running form” is a trap (and what to aim for instead)✅ The #1 fastest way to improve your form: skipping (happy hip hack / chicken wing skipping)✅ How to use the flow rope to clean up symmetry, rhythm, and posture✅ A simple cue that changes everything: “length on one side”✅ Why most runners run from the outside-in (and how to run from the center-out)✅ How backward walking can instantly improve timing, balance, and foot strike✅ Why your hips may be “stuck in reverse” (and how to fix it)✅ How tire pulling / resisted walking activates glutes and restores hip function✅ Why running should feel pleasant once you get going—and what to do if it doesn’t✅ How to build a body that runs better (not just stronger muscles)⏱️ Timestamps:0:00 Improve running form2:40 Who is Lawrence van Lingen5:51 How to run with perfect form9:15 Smartest way to improve running form26:12 Flow rope thickness29:49 Understand the flow rope movements37:58 How backward walking and tire walking helps running44:29 Which tool unlocks the most improvents49:25 Running transformation🎧 About The Endurance Lab PodcastFrom January 2026, I’m releasing 3 episodes per month - thoughtful, evidence-based conversations on training, performance, nutrition, recovery, and longevity for runners over 40.

    Consistency vs Intensity: What Most Runners Get Wrong | Floris Gierman

    In this first episode of The Endurance Lab Podcast, I’m joined by Floris Gierman — host of The Extramilest Show, running coach, and author of Running Breakthroughs. Floris has spent years interviewing world-class runners, coaches, researchers, and everyday athletes. What keeps coming up is surprisingly simple: Build the engine first and let consistency beat intensity. We talk about how runners (especially in their 40s, 50s, and beyond) can train smarter, stay injury-free, and actually enjoy the process without burning out. 📚 Floris Gierman resources Running Breakthroughs: https://florisgierman.com/ Path Projects: https://pathprojects.com/ Personal Best Program (PB Program): https://www.pbprogram.com/ The Extramilest Show: https://extramilest.com/Floris Gierman YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@FlorisGierman In this conversation, we cover • Why “no pain, no gain” often leads to injury, burnout, and stalled progress • The real reason easy running works (and why it’s hard on the ego) • How to balance structured training with day-to-day flexibility • Why stress outside training matters as much as training load • How to use simple check-ins (sleep, HRV, effort) to guide your week • What Floris would do differently if he started running again today • The fundamentals Floris believes will make you a better runner in 2026 Key takeaways (especially for runners over 40) ✅ Go slower than you think at first (and you’ll get faster over time) ✅ Train easy most days to build aerobic fitness and recover better ✅ Strength train 2x/week to stay resilient as you age ✅ Sleep is the most underused performance tool ✅ Journal daily to spot patterns and avoid repeating mistakes ✅ Leave your ego at the door (Strava pace ≠ progress) ⏱️ Timestamps: 0:00 Consistency beats intensity 4:11 Who Is Floris Gierman 7:04 How running changed after 40 9:34 Discipline vs Restrain 10:58 How to train smarter after 40 15:34 If only I knew this when I started 19:42 Running Breakthroughs 28:13 Missing "Chapter" on HRV 31:09: The definitive chapter in running 35:01 Strategy to improve running performance in midlife 36:48 What to do less of in 2026 39:47 Stronger vs Healthier vs Happier 43:47 How to become a better runner in 2026 51:32 What does endurance mean to Floris Gierman About The Endurance Lab Podcast From January 2026, I’m releasing 3 episodes per month - thoughtful, evidence-based conversations on training, performance, nutrition, recovery, and longevity for runners over 40.
