How To Get The Best Result Possible - Lee Grantham

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):

  1. Warm‑up easy jog 1 km
  2. Run 3 km at a comfortable effort
  3. Walk 200 m for recovery
  4. Repeat 3×:
    • Run 1 km at a hard but sustainable pace
    • Walk 200 m
  5. Repeat 5×:
    • Run 500 m at a strong effort
    • Walk 100 m
  6. 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.
