Intro
This is a quick summary of How To Get The Best Result Possible from Lee Grantham. It’s a great watch — we’re breaking it down so you can try the workout today. Be sure to check out the full video for all the details.
Key Points
- Racing at high altitude (2,400 m start to 3,350 m finish) with an 8.5‑9% gradient challenges your calves and oxygen delivery, so be realistic about what you can sustain.
- When you hit a wall, Lee turned the 11 km race into a series of short repeats: 3 km run, 200 m walk, three 1 km repeats, then 5 × 500 m repeats with 100 m walk breaks.
- He stresses adding 10 hours of cycling per week and more easy runs to rebuild volume without over‑stress, especially in hot or steep conditions.
- Prioritize rest, recovery, and a solid diet; these fundamentals let you keep training quality high while avoiding burnout.
Workout Example
Altitude‑Adapted Interval Session (all distances in kilometers/meters):
- Warm‑up easy jog 1 km
- Run 3 km at a comfortable effort
- Walk 200 m for recovery
- Repeat 3×:
- Run 1 km at a hard but sustainable pace
- Walk 200 m
- Repeat 5×:
- Run 500 m at a strong effort
- Walk 100 m
- Cool‑down easy jog 1 km
Adjust the paces to match your current fitness – use the Pacing app to set custom target paces for each segment.
Closing Note
