So let's just dive into the weather right now It's called it for everybody around the world if you're not living in Colorado right now It's called it. There's a weather pattern called the as far as I know called the bomb Cyclone bomb cyclone and what does that mean? basically the Barometric pressure I think or basically the the pressure that is like, you know, I have you you have low pressure and high pressure Weather systems well, we dropped 24 bars on the weather scale in the last 24 hours which qualifies this storm as a Bomb cyclone. So we got hit with wind. We got hit with snow. It was insane But I got I got my 10 miles in so let us know how your run was today. It was crazy It was absolutely crazy. You know what?

And if you're really smart with running history I I studied history in college and so I really like a good a good bout of Of trivia. So here you go First trivia question and all so what I do with these trivia questions is they try to basically Get the wheels turning for all of you on the topics for the evening so right now we're gonna dive into some track and field trivia and Again just to get the conversation going around tonight's topic. So all right, here we go. Here we go Question number one And I'll keep monitoring the chat. So don't you don't you worry? I'll keep jumping over because Kajelka of Ethiopia Got within point zero one of the world indoor mile record last month just February at this Historical indoor track meet what what is the name of that indoor track meet? All right, I'm gonna monitor the chat who will get it first who will get it first This was just February 2019 so very very recently So here we go here we go Okay, let's see who's gonna get it who's gonna get it Kajelka of Ethiopia Ah Let's see here Okay, I'm monitoring here as anybody know what track meet was it in the indoor track meet and Milrose games Connor crushed it Connor you got it Connor was first Jordan Second Scott third nice work. Okay second question that just it goes right past It goes it builds off of the first question So did you know that the Milrose games they're held at the Armory in Washington Heights? So the upper portion of Manhattan, but where were the Milrose games held Before 2011. All right, that's the second question. You got it. All right good work. All right. I'm monitoring here monitoring here That's the second question. Good guy. Good job Scott Robert Thomas blue collar runner Jordan. I love it I love it. Good work. You guys you guys were on a quick Connor Connor was first though. All right. Let's see here Welcome everybody Suzanne is in the house. I just asked Suzanne you will you would definitely have known the first trivia question Let's see where where was before the Armory Where were the Milrose games held a monitor boom? Scott Madison Square Garden Madison Square Garden. It was at Madison Square Garden For decades just decades the Milrose games good work Jordan Joe Scott and Nice work there. Okay Question number three question number three and this is um, well, I don't want to give too much away I'm trying to phrase it the right way, okay When was the first? College track meet held and no Google no Google when was the first college track meet held and Bonus points if you know which university is competed. All right, that's the third question when was the first college track meet held and Which universities competed? All right, here we go. Here we go. Oh Man good work everybody Nice Nice, let's see here. I love it. Everybody's oh my goodness We're almost to a hundred people watching. Can we break a hundred in the first 15 minutes? Let's do this. Oh Anthony not quite not quite a Little older Anthony a little further in the past First college track meet and which two universities. It was not Harvard versus Yale It was in Europe correct blue collar runner. It was in Europe. Oh, man. I'm still waiting for it. No, no, ooh Close that was a close guess there. All right. Let's see mate. This is a tough one Okay, I'll say I'll say this. It was it was in England. It was in England. Does that help? It was in England. Let's see here 1864 1864 that's right between I still haven't seen it in the chat. Oh, I stumped you guys a little bit We must not have any Brits watching right now. There you go Oxford Versus Cambridge Oxford versus Cambridge in 1864 Based on my research that was the first official College track meet ever held like around the world Which if you think about it like we are in the United's well many of us are in the United States Not everyone but like that's right when the Civil War was coming to an end right around So it's just crazy to think like across the Atlantic They were hosting a track meet and like I'm a history. I love history So it's just crazy to think that we were fighting a civil war here in the United States When they were having a track meet so anyway, all right. Good work. All right Shall we do one more one more trivia question for before diving into some track and field topics? All right. This is a little a little difficult If you've seen the documentary it'll give it away and if you're local in the Colorado You might have a little bit of a leg up. Anyway, we'll see. All right in which in which town Did Jim Ryan? So Jim Ryan was a Myler Very famous American Myler in which town did Jim Ryan train to prepare for the? 1968 Olympics in Mexico City, so he went to this town to train To get ready for the Mexico City Olympics in 1968 Let's see here. Let's see here monitor and monitoring good work everybody good work Gonna take a swig of water as you think it over Not Boulder, Colorado Not Boulder not Durango. Oh, this is a good one. This is a good one man of two Springs That's a good guess, but no No, so Think about think about the elevation of Mexico City. I think Mexico City is about 73 7500 feet I think some spots maybe it gets closer to 8,000 Colorado Springs Boulder Flagstaff Orlando not quite. I might have to help out here. So believe it or not I will I'll help you out here This is a little obscure and I'll connect this into some other things as well Bracken Ridge. All right, so In cross-country in the NCAA Leadville note Estes Park note. So in the NCAA, you've got the University of Colorado You've got Stanford. You've got Oklahoma State as far as powerhouse collegiate cross-country teams Division one But then but then Division two so you got Division one and then Division two you've got some really really stout Excuse me Division two cross-country programs. You've got the School of Mines in Golden, Colorado you've got Western State in Gunnison, Colorado and then you've got Adam State in Alamosa, Colorado. So Alamosa, Colorado is right about 8,000 feet I think it's just slightly below and it's flat as a pancake great Great great farming land down there in the San Luis Valley So that is where Jim Ryan went to train for the 1968 Olympics like that area that general area There's also mountains he could train on in that Valley, but he lived in Alamosa. So Alamosa it is and basically That's a little a little tidbit of history for you when it comes to Jim Ryan and the mile and Basically, he knew and like it's amazing like even in the late 60s They knew they needed to train in altitude to get ready for that Mexico City thin air in the late 60s so anyway, Alamosa is it. All right, good work everyone. That was fun All right, so let's move on and I'm just gonna I'm just gonna check in here on the chat make sure I didn't miss anything So track and field holy smokes in high school for me like today's weather in Colorado like we got hit with this snow storm It's crazy and I distinctly remember many track meets in high school running in this not quite this bad But bad weather like wind cold Sometimes snow, but just like really tough track and field conditions. And so I don't know if you all have experienced I don't know if you all have experienced tough track meets in crazy spring weather But I feel like track almost should be Almost like a late April type. I'm then going into the summer. But anyway, so the the weather outside is reminding me of Of that, okay So I'm just looking at a few notes I took down today and somebody made me aware of this in the Somebody made me aware of this in the in the comments I think two days ago and when I want to talk about track like listen My first love is definitely mountain running Probably second would be road running and probably third would be track I like I think there's a lot of great things that happen in track and The four by 800 in my humble opinion is one of the most fun races in the entire world Like when you've got four guys who are decent at You know not sprinting but running a really solid 800 meters that it's just like so thrilling to run a four by eight but Obviously like it's not at the top of my list since I'm out of college out of high school and for all of you high schoolers out there just like Relish it like live it up and love The track because you know doesn't last forever even though you can do masters races sometimes for indoor track meets and outdoor track Meets especially on the east coast. I feel like the east coast is holding down the track scene really well out here in the west It's definitely just not as prevalent Like we do have track meets But it's just not like the as we just talked about the Millrose games are out there. They're like broadcast on TV I remember watching the Millrose games. I think on the ESPN I don't know if it's still stream or if it's still showing on ESPN, but anyway, that's a big deal. So so anyway, that's kind of the context of Diving into track tonight because guess what we are It's it's track season like track is kicking up for a lot of high schoolers out there college students And we're just kind of finishing up the indoor track season so I'm gonna read something here, and I want to make sure I wrote it down pretty well But and actually I did pull up so did you know and I'm gonna jump into the chat here in a minute And don't be afraid to ask your questions over there Basically did you hear that so the Tokyo Olympics? 2020 so basically 18 months from now the standards to Qualify for the Tokyo Olympics Just got quite a bit more difficult now from what I've read from and this just happened in the last couple of days basically the times to qualify Dropped pretty significantly compared to the Rio Olympics in 2016 and let me know in the chat if you heard about this in the news It was a pretty big deal on flow track on where else did I see it? I saw it on let's run I saw highly Gebra Salasi Who the famous Ethiopian runner? He was interviewed by Reuters about about this and so Basically, let me just read something real quick here Just a short little paragraph in the marathon in the marathon the qualifying standard for the 2016 Olympics in Rio was 219 for the men and 245 for the women for the 2020 Olympics those marks have dropped to 211 30 for the men and 229 30 for the ladies respectively This dramatic change reflects the fact that the upcoming Olympic marathon fields have been reduced to 80 runners Roughly half the field in Rio Meanwhile in the 5k the standards went from 1325 for the men and 1520 for the ladies down to 1313 for the men and 1510 for the Ladies and I'm just gonna pull up a screenshot here of a couple other like all of the time I could just got more difficult. Let me just pull up one more like let's let's let's throw out the 10k Um Yeah, now the 10k for the men is 27 28 and for the ladies 31 25 So we're talking about Um, we're talking about a pretty old man and over a hundred people watching Welcome everybody and thank you to luke for the super chat just for reviewing adidas today. No problem luke Thank you for that super chat two dollars. I appreciate it. So jumping back in basically It's gonna be pretty It's gonna be um Like actually somebody sent me a message on facebook. I think you know like For those that don't know I am striving to see how fast I can run in the marathon this year I think I can do well Um Can I qualify for the olympic trials in the united states? I'm not exactly sure but we're gonna give it a We're gonna give it a go. I mean I it's 219 sub 219 And then this guy sent me the message about the 211 30 and that's like just on another planet Of speed and it's it's simply Uh, amazing. So any thoughts about this drop? I'm gonna jump into the chat here if you have any questions um Let's see here um Oh and just makes a comment they definitely need to have easier standards because it allows those coming up to have a chance It makes it more interesting races if more unknowns are able to challenge for titles. Oh, and that's an interesting thought. So Yeah, basically, um, so the window to qualify Got is two months longer compared to the real olympics And so they're saying like that you have more chances to qualify So they're kind of walking the line there and then also the i double a f which helps my The i double a f basically creates these standards and um so I don't know. Oh, and I mean, I think like like for example a smaller country that doesn't have a have a lot of marathon experience like let's just grab one like Bolivia or um I don't know like a country Like the congo or I don't know just a country that you wouldn't typically see in the olympics Yeah, it does kind of make it very difficult if you don't have a ton of experience in the in those distances. So, um Kaley, do I have a good link to the standards? Oh goodness kaley. I will try and find one I don't think I can find it right now. I basically I actually found it on twitter So I don't know if that helps if you have twitter or not if you don't I will try to post it down in the in the uh description here after the live stream Um, so let's just see here. I know I missed a couple Uh, Sean says the new standards are Not so good to 1130 is so fast that only one american rup has ever done that in the last three years It's also faster than the national record for some even larger countries like india Whoa, that's crazy. So there's also I should qualify and say There are other ways to qualify for the olympics and let me just pull up um So the i double a f has a world ranking system And I don't under I don't fully understand how that world ranking system works But I I think if you you run a certain amount of races and You do well in those like there's other ways to qualify outside of those times But it definitely makes it very very difficult. Uh, I would say for a lot of people. So good Good point there. Um, josh says why would they do this now when some people already qualified bummer? Yeah Uh, yeah, I know um Let's see here. Um So trevor I I'm just I'm just reading through the chat here and oh my goodness. We are The welcome everyone here. That's that's here. Okay. Trevor says I don't really understand these standards in the past Anyone who had a 219 or better went to the trials in the top three went to the olympics. What happens now Trevor good question. Good question Trevor that's a very good. I don't I need to do some more research research. Um, Let's see here. Um Um So crazy crazy. Okay, so good a lot of good chatter happening. I can't monitor all of it, but Um Paraguay's national record in the marathon is 213. Nice very interesting I don't quite get it all. I don't know what they're thinking. Why so okay I'm gonna dive into the next topic which might ruffle some feathers even further. All right, so bear with me here Oh my goodness. This is all happening in like the last three four five days basically, um I'm gonna read something again as well the I the international amateur athletics federation the IAAF announced on monday In a year long review the international athletics governing body also decided that each Meet will scale. So there's the diamond. You got maybe you've heard of the diamond league So this is a series of track meets that happens every summer so The internet so basically they're scaling down The amount of track meets and the amount of events at these diamond league events And correct me if i'm wrong in the chat, but from what i've done based on the research that i've done They are eliminating I don't even want to I want to be cautious by saying and this is where highly gebra salasi was like not happy But I know I believe the 5k is done In possibly even the 10k Correct me if i'm wrong, but based on the research that I did today So the longest Event that will take place at some of these at these diamond league races Is going to be the 3000 meters What is going on here like that really ruffles my feathers because First of all, like I know like a 5k takes 13 minutes for the men and 14 you know sub 15 for the ladies and like yeah, it takes more time And you know what they're thinking they're thinking about dollar bills for commercials and keeping everybody's um Everybody happy that's doing the television. They want the meets to go faster and obviously like a 10k takes You know 27 minutes 26 minutes and then you know Around 29 minutes 30 minutes for the ladies. So it's absolutely insane Uh that you would ever consider eliminating the 5k and the 10k from an international track meet And again, correct me if i'm wrong Um, but maybe somebody could do some google searching right now, but uh, this is what I was reading today. So Basically, I don't want I don't want to be debbie downer when it comes to track and field But this is just kind of what's happening right now in the global track scene um Yeah, the global track scene blue color runner. Thank you as always for being here for the super chat Just trying just trying man trying to do that daily blog hustle, baby. So oh man shout out to blue color runner who's always here um Let's see here Let's see Let's see just checking in on the chat here So anyway bottom line, um, I love track I must say I I I probably love watching track more than I love racing track I will gosh if you get a chance Start saving money now To go watch The united states olympic trials When they are held at um in Eugene, oregon at the university of oregon It's really special. Um now the track has changed a lot. They've modernized the track a lot But it is, you know based on the lineage of you know, the docks and pre-fontain and just everything that um He did and and just like yeah everything that's happened up there in Eugene Like save your money now and try and buy some tickets and go watch Like the 800 and the 5k just like it's so fun to be there in those stands And I would do it in Eugene because sometimes they host the united state the us olympic trials in indiana Which is great as well nothing against indiana and indian apple in indian amp indianapolis But there's something really special about Eugene oregon and watching a track meet there at the university of oregon And uh, they have they still have some of the the the wooden the wooden bleachers And so everyone can stomp their feet and get loud as as they're coming down the back stretch kicking it in and so I watched some of my old Uh teammates from cu qualify for the olympics Uh at that track, so it's got a special place in my heart and I ran my 5k um And I ran my 5k PR at that track so uh hayward field I couldn't think of it for a minute hayward field So susanne says bs. I think it's because 10k takes too long and 1500 and 3000 is bogus full Yeah, I I mean it's it's crazy So It's crazy. I'm a little i'm a little perturbed. I'm a little perturbed Luke true love is not in the house tonight You know what she's actually watching uh peter pan with the boys inside so That's what she's up to uh, let's see Let's see Anthony asked what was that 5k pr it was a 14 46 which i'm pretty i'm proud of i'm proud of that Considering where I was in high school and what I was able to get down to But I had a ton of injuries in college and so I wish uh Anyway, I think I could have continued to drop that time if I would have stayed healthy I had a ton of stress fractures in college. Okay any other thoughts on track and field before we move it along and um Yeah before we move it along to Uh marathon discussion. I and again, thank you all for being here So let's see gabriel asked what is the amount of miles you do in a week when when getting ready for track I mean gabriel I probably should have been running more in high school Um, but I was probably around 30 miles a week in high school in college We bumped it bumped it way up because we were getting ready for a 10k race on the track Which is a lot harder than it sounds like going around the track What is it? Oh man now you're testing me 12 Yeah, it's like 25 laps basically 25 laps correct me if I'm wrong. I'm not the greatest at math, but um anyway, so Yeah, we we did high mileage we did high mileage um Trevor says track town pizza is a restaurant by the organ track that has a bunch of memorabilia. Yes, it is I've been there trevor. It's amazing. I heard the food is nothing special But the atmosphere is what people enjoy. Yeah, I don't really I don't remember the food at all I did. It's definitely just that cool atmosphere um, so Let's see here. Okay Let's move it along if that's okay. We uh, I did some good Preparation tonight, you know, I don't always have time to prepare my thoughts as well as I would like For the live streams, but tonight I today I had a some good time This is Ann you're probably right a lower mileage in high school probably did save my legs. Okay moving on to the marathon and Moving on to the marathon. So here we go As you can probably imagine and actually let me know in the chat right now if you are training for a marathon right now, um Whether it's in the next three months, maybe you're already prepping for like a late summer marathon Or who knows like you having the back of your mind?

They're inside right now and You know, I drifted away a little bit from following the marathon as a sport After college, I just kind of needed a break from all things elite and competitive running It was like so taxing in college physically and mentally But now like, you know, I've been dabbling in the ultra running world But now obviously like I'm just very enthused and excited to continue to learn as much as I can About the marathon moving forward and about the athletes that are putting them, you know putting all they got on the line Both the elites and the non elites at all the all the major marathons around the world Like it's amazing to see Oh my goodness.

Oh my goodness three high schoolers who sent me their stories and like really really needed Uh new like they have been running in the same pair of running shoes for Uh like 800 miles 900 miles Lots lots of miles on the same pair of running shoes and they couldn't afford new running shoes So thank you guys so much. All right, and a shout out to luke Um, thank you luke. Oh my goodness. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you for these super chats Okay, diving in boston marathon. It is 32 days away It's on april 28th 2019 I am no, sorry. Sorry. Hold on. I'm looking at the wrong thing uh april 15th 2019 And basically i'll just put it out there. Maybe a little trivia. What year did the boston marathon start? Uh, i bet a lot of you know this answer but let us know a year in the chat And so last year, uh, it was a pretty crazy year as you many of you probably know A crazy storm rolled in Lots of rain cold weather. Um, as you know, the east africans Excuse me are dominating the world marathons around the world like the chicca all the all the major marathons and So it ended up being really cold. So the theory is that some of the, you know Ethiopians and kenyans and uh, who else uh, marocans and they just didn't have a great day So it allowed some other people to shine forth Perhaps we'll see what happens in a month from now, but desi linden Um desi linden from or desiree linden Um from the u.s. She ended up winning and then also I'm not going to say his name correctly yuki kawa uchi of japan He uh one on the men's side. So an american and a japanese Gentlemen, they were the winners of the boston marathon last year in 2018 Um desi ran, what did she run? I think she was like 233 Approximately don't quote me on that and then I don't see it here and then the japanese gentleman ran 215 So i'm very intrigued to see what happens in boston and another super check came in. Oh my goodness For helping so many people out. Thank you scott. Thank you scott. Thank you for that super chat So i'm intrigued to see what happens in boston and Some of our people here in this live stream are running it So if you are running the boston marathon, like what are your hopes tell us about your thoughts And i'm going to jump into the london marathon right now, but if in the chat Let us know and I should probably jump in. Yes 1897 was the first boston marathon and it was inspired by the 1896 london olympics, okay So 1896 the olympics happened over in london and then the people of boston were like wait a minute Well, maybe they wouldn't let let's do this. We got something here. Let's have a marathon in boston. So 1897 Was the Oh, so fred has won has ran boston. That's awesome. I've never been to watch. I've never been to run It is on my bucket list. Oh, so desi ran 239. Okay. Good to know good to know Let's see here. So Yes, yes. Yes. All right. Good stuff. Okay. So here we go london diving into the london marathon And I'll I'll continue to check into the chat Basically the london marathon is 45 days out Happening april 28th. So it's a sunday and I should just mention right now I'm hoping to do like a live stream Watch party somehow. Maybe we'll even do it in person for people in denver I don't know how we could wouldn't that be cool to like Rent not rent out but like get a spot with a tv Anyway, bottom line. I want to do a live stream I want to watch boston But I really want to watch london and you probably know why because kip chogi is coming back and yes He won the 2018 london marathon last year And on the lady side it was vivian chariot That was the 38th rendition or the the 38th london marathon So I thought london the london marathon was a little a little older But that means it started basically in 1970 so Kip chogi won and for all the londoners out there your homeboy Mo Farah He is going to be towing the line. I must say like I know I've been watching mo farah training I've been watching him training on instagram like I follow him on instagram and it looks like he's putting in some good work But it's kip chogi. So like can anybody take down kip chogi? I don't know. I don't know and actually let's get the discussion going right now in the chat Who you got in the london marathon? Does that sound good? uh, let us know so Anthony says london was hot last year. I think hopefully they get cooler temps anthony It was really hot and actually very dangerous. Like it ended up being kind of a disaster You're very you're right. You're spot on with that anthony. So um What else about the london marathon? So mary katani? Vivian chariot is going to be back uh bir han dibaba Those are on the lady's side and then on the I didn't write down actually all the men I just obviously kip chogi and mo farah. I'm curious about that battle Um, jordan says mo versus kip chogi is going to be great absolutely kip chogi all the way from benjamin democratic republic of chuck kip chogi No mo from susan It's going to be tough. It's going to be tough and there's some other listen There's like kip chogi and then there's mo And then there's like eight other guys that are like 203 203 204 204 204 204 205 So it's like it's a really Deep stack field. Um, anyway, it's going to be fascinating to tune in. Um Let's see here So Let's see here Yes, connor you are correct. Uh kip chogi it seems like he does kind of have super human powers and I'll just make the and I'm sure I'm sure many of you have already watched the documentary on the sub two hour uh effort or Challenge by nike where they tried to send some athletes under the two hour mark for the marathon if you haven't seen it It's done by national geographic and it was um, it was it's very it's very well done And of course it was you know promoting nike and promoting the four percent shoes. I get it, but kip chogi came close like he missed it by 26 seconds Breaking two hours and from what I've heard from what I've read from what I've seen and just it seems like kip chogi Is at another level right up here like a whole Another level like he's just like locked in and locked and loaded Between the ears when it comes to race day So it's going to be very intriguing and but I will say this He's not getting any younger. I think he's my age If not a little older and let if somebody knows I is he 34? I think he's 34, which I've heard 30, you know 30 to 34 is the kind of the nice window um, so Anyway, that's crazy. Okay. Any other questions about marathon racing coming up with boston with london Let me know in the chat. I will answer your questions about marathon Marathon racing and then we will um, we'll open it up to a live q&a But let's first wrap up the marathon if that's cool um Yes, the documentary is on youtube. Absolutely. It's like an hour maybe 55 minutes. It's really good. Uh, it's very good Um, he's 34 now. Yeah, I think I think thank you pat and benjamin. I think you are spot on with that Yeah, so you know time waits for no man as my uncle always says like we all Time moves along, but I bet he's still gonna be Uh, he's gonna be the favorite to win it. Um, oh, what is the documentary called? Sub 2 I actually don't know Sub 2 hour sub 2. I think it's something like that if somebody knows let us know um Yes, time waits for no man or woman. That's absolutely correct Um, fred says most important marathon workout question marks 16 miles at race pace fred I like I like that, uh, approach absolutely. So I mean fred you can answer this better than I can because I'm getting ready for my first marathon, but I would say, um I love I love I love tempo and threshold. I I'm not afraid to obviously do intervals and Uh track reap like hitting the track like I think that's important as well But there's nothing like a good solid Threshold run where you're just you're flirting that line of going Into anaerobic, but not too far like not definitely not pushing through and then yeah holding it for Man 60. I love your approach like 16 miles is basically what I'm It's like you're you seriously. It's like you're reading my mind because I'm doing three six nine 12 And then 15 basically for my approach to the marathon as far as a hard tempo run So anyway, good thoughts there fred. I appreciate it breaking to is the name of it. Okay. Good one. Thank you everybody um So yeah, james. I am hoping to break 2 19 I don't know. I mean I James it's a little bit of a dream, but like I did run 111 Uh solo at altitude last year Off of like 50 miles a week. So who knows we're just going to give it a go We're going to do our best and see what we can do um, okay, any other questions about Uh, an anthony asks anyone know how to watch london marathon in the united states. I'm very interested. I'm guessing anthony I'm probably going to pay for it. I'm guessing we're going to have to pay for it and stream it on our computer Um, is going to be my guess, but if anybody knows let me know that would be amazing um What kind of fuel and what amounts are you planning to use for cleveland seth Still experimenting for my marathon training and would appreciate your thoughts. So chris. I um I need to order some you can so i'm going to test out. It's it's there you Can um, and it's basically It's a drink. It's a mix and uh, like a gatorade powder And you put it in your water bottles and it's it's supposed to be a slower burning uh glucose based Uh powder So i'm gonna I need to really I need to order that in fact. Thank you for the reminder Um, I need to order a big tub of it or maybe I should probably start with a little one to see if I like it And then uh, but that's what I'm leaning toward as far as how often throughout the marathon See, that's what's nice about getting into the Elite field. Anyway, that's why I was really interested in grandma's because they set water bottles along the way for you And you can have anyway, but I'm just going to do my best with What they provide anyway, it's like cleveland marathon is not an elite Marathon so Yeah, I gotta figure that out. I gotta figure that out. Good notion Um, jordan says it will probably be on olympic network or embassy sports network. Oh, that's good to know That's a good that's good to know and I would like to watch it live Oh boy, that means it's gonna be late at night I just realized that because there is london's like six hours or four six hours ahead of new york city and anyway, um Let's see here Do you do upper body workouts for the marathon? I do I do I do some bench press I do some some uh, running arms in the gym. Um, so yeah, I even just do traditional I like traditional pull-ups just to yeah, get the uh, get the shoulders going. But yes, I do Uh, I do upper body work definitely not as much as core and lower body but good question and um Yeah, I'm actually going into the gym tomorrow. So who knows maybe I'll film Some of the uh, the upper body work tomorrow for you. Good question from fade dreams 97 Okay, so any other questions about the marathon? Let's see here Um, okay six. That's good to know susanne Um, josh says I take gels at mile eight 15 and 21 works for me plus gatorade gatorade. That's right. Nice. Okay Moving on. Let's open it up anything you want to ask me I've actually got a bunch of running shoes in the studio tonight. Um, and should we just do it right now? Okay, no, let's do questions first open q&a then I'm going to get to this box in just one minute Talk to you about that. But any questions you want to ask about training about shoes about nutrition about life about What's going on here in denver right now? And thanks for sticking around for uh, this live stream tonight Let's see um Marcelo My pr's, you know what there's a vlog if you go search on the home page of the youtube channel There's a vlog that talks about my pr's and just type in pr into the search and you'll be able to find that So, uh, oh my goodness here come the questions. Oh, man Okay, what's your favorite site for vlog music? Oh, okay. Nice I use art list Blue collar runner. That's my but you have to it's you have to you have to pay for it So art list is the one I like Um, angios. How's the merch coming angie? It's coming. Um, it's coming I just am running out of time is the bottom line. So thank you for Continuing to remind me. It's just kind of rough Trying to find time with everything is I need At some point. I know I'm gonna need some help, but um, what shoes do you plan on using for boston? Um, so I'm actually not racing boston and tom, but I am trying to figure out the shoe that I'm gonna wear um We've got we've got these two right here. Oh my goodness, wasn't that I had a good time Taking the oddy zero adios fours out Yesterday before the snow storm for 20 miles and um, yeah, I think probably many of you already saw that My thoughts on that shoe. Um, I'll just put it up there for a minute. Okay So let's see here Richard ask which colorado 14 or would you recommend as someone's first? Richard? I would do Excuse me mount beer stat or Or graze peak mount beer stat or graze peak for your first 14 or both are beautiful Both are pretty easy to hike mount Beer stat is I think four miles round trip or like four and a half mile. Hey, it's a it's a snow. Maybe it's five Okay, maybe it's five miles round trip. So it's not a big hike. Good question Uh, let's see here. Oh my goodness I'm just seeing that those super chats and again, jordan and luke and everybody else. Thank you for those super chats Okay, I'm trying to hear So fred says when is the sjd run camp in colorado, right? Fred, you know, what's crazy is I've actually thought about you know I've thought about like basically guiding Mountain runs so not really a camp but just like guiding, uh people on mountain runs I don't know What let me know what you think about that idea like if people wanted to come to colorado or even just people in denver That don't know how to quite get into the mountains and do trail running and like packing food and water and Anyway, it has crossed my mind fred. All right. Good one. All right How do you keep yourself focused on long runs? Oh man democratic republic of chuck I I often I tell myself that If I want to have fun on race day, I mean, this is one thing I do But I say to myself if I want to have fun on race day I know that I need to be here right now doing this long run And like I love to have fun on race day. I love to be as fit as possible and Just rock and roll But I know it's like race day can be kind of abysmal if you don't put in the work So that's like one thing I tell myself. Hopefully that helps answer a little bit um Let's see And alex I believe is in the house. Welcome alex. Good job getting out in the goggles today Will you run boston in 2020? I'd like to run boston or new york Or both because spring and fall right? Hey So let's do both. I would yeah, I mean, I think boston and new york for sure Um, could I do both? I'd be up for trying. Um, Let's see here What do I think about biking? I think it's good. I think biking is good good cross training I don't do it. Um, I do it. No, I don't really do it in the gym either But I think it's listen, especially as we get a little older and we need to save our knees a little bit I'm I would say I'm a little more of a fan of the of the uh the pool over biking But okay moving on here I don't um How important is it lifting for the 800 and 1600? And if so, what body areas should I be hitting? That is from donovan another lifting and gym question for the 800 and 1600 I think lifting is absolutely critical and I think almost even just as critical are explosive Plyometrics so like and then putting on a weight vest You know, I don't know how old you are donovan, but putting on eventually doing it with weight a weight vest and doing jumps and explosive exercises absolutely, um important Donovan so, um, good question Let's see here. All right. I know I missed some questions Um, estaban has your plantar fasciitis gotten better Yes, it has it's it's totally gone Now I I did do I I did it was released as many of you already know it was released in a race um, I felt it kind of give and go and And so, you know, I think I was actually pretty fortunate that that happened because I know plantar fasciitis can drag on and on and on and on Okay, so before we go Um, Scott asked how many running shirts is too many. I'm asking for her friend Never too many running shirts, right? Never too many Um, actually good question Scott. My brother, um His mother-in-law just made him a quilt With all of his old running t-shirts Isn't that a good idea? Like he had so many running t-shirts that she's like, hey She sews I guess and so she made him a quilt With all of his old running t-shirts like cut it up and put it on a quilt. Isn't that brilliant? I think that's a great idea um, okay So I'm actually going to give away a pair of running shoes. That's right So a pair of my old running shoes So guess what? Oh man, hold on. Whoa, hold on Don't want to knock that over.  I'm sorry. I'm a seven and a half if you are a seven and a half men's Um, you're in luck because for the rest of my life I'm probably going to be giving away shoes, right shoes that I just Don't need and um, I have I had two pairs of these And I like these shoes, but I just I just don't need them and I'd rather somebody else use them, right? And they're brand new. They're brand new like I don't even think I wore them around the house I didn't even take them outside. So here's how it's going to work Um, here is how it is going to work. So if you are a size seven and a half men's And I don't know what that converts to ladies Because I've heard different things.  Yeah the fourth person fourth person Fourth it's get you got to be seven and a half no range no range got to be seven and a half Got to be seven and a half seven point five in the chat. I don't see any yet. I don't see any yet Okay, there's there's one fourth person fourth person fourth Oh, maybe we don't have oh there's two I'm gonna be quiet for a minute. I'm gonna be quiet Okay Let's see Oh, okay next one. No, no, no, no Marcello Marcello, you were the fourth because we can't do repeats can't do repeats. Sorry if I didn't qualify that Marcello You win you win Uh, because it was ideal Sorry, it was uh, it was ideal ollie and then um It was ideal ollie and then it was uh Hold on and then how about how about tamu? Sorry if I'm not saying your names correctly. That was fun. Okay, Marcello You are seven and a half and listen that was just like something I came up with like 10 minutes ago So these are on cloud shoes and I will mail and so here's the deal Marcello You got to email me your mailing address. I will drop these in the mail for you tomorrow.  It'll do the trick for a little bit. Okay, so thank you guys for all that I know that was a little crazy.

All right Um, so Marcello, it is let's see.  I apologize um Let's see Pat asks, how many pairs of shoes do I have? I don't know including the used old ones that are kicker kicker rounds I don't know probably like 25. I know it's a lot. I know it's a lot Um, estobon asked. Oh estobon. I already I already answered this. Yes planter fasciitis is good to go It's all gone all gone Uh, chris asked you ever get a haircut to help repair mentally for a fast race chris Absolutely, you want to know something else weird that I do and some of you this is actually a tip of the day I cut my fingernails and I cut my toenails But cut your toenails like two weeks before because you don't want to mess up your toenails The night before the race and get like a nasty like that could be really bad turn into a blister But I do take care you got to take care of your feet runners. We got to take care of our feet So that is a tip. That's a little uh trivia for you for down the road about how I get ready for a race but do it two weeks before so Anyway, not to go into too much detail, but so your toenail can grow grow back a little bit So this is so cool So cool. Thanks for being here everybody. Let's see Okay Thanks fred. I appreciate you being here Justin asked can you quickly explain how to run intervals? Oh boy, um, and susanne. I'll get to your question as well um Let's see how to run intervals so Justin I I must say I usually prefer to jog In between the intervals like like really really slow. So if I'm doing 1k repeats I don't like to like some coaches have the athletes stop I prefer to jog around, you know, if it's a minute or two minutes and um Just to keep the legs moving a little bit, but I realize some coaches want like complete recovery So if you're doing mile repeats and you take like four minutes in between each repeat or three minutes Usually you can become, you know, completely recover almost by then. Anyway, if that's what I do I like to keep keep moving a little bit um, anyway, that's a That's a tough question to answer unless yeah, but good email me if you have any other questions about interval training Suzanne when is my next race? So susanne, you're going to be proud of me um, so I'm going to be doing a 5k a 10k and a 10 miler before the marathon I was looking at some half marathons, but basically there's a 10 miler in three weeks Exactly before the cleveland marathon and it's got a lot of great competition So that's why I'm going to do that and then my next so I'm going to do a 5k But unfortunately, we just don't have a lot of great competitive 5k road races in the spring here in denver because there's so much like March in denver is the snowiest month of the year. It's not december not january It's march. So anyway, I'm going to jump in a 5k. I don't know what the competition will be like But I'm just going to jump in and let it rip. Um, I don't I'm looking right now So like all the st. patrick's day 5k's are this weekend But I think I want to wait till next weekend or the like march 30th approximately Um, good questions. Okay So you're welcome, justin Let's see jordan asks seth Do you always set up the camera then run back to it and pick it up then keep running? That seems a little inefficient. So jordan, I have a couple tricks that I do When it comes to filming the runs and um, it also depends on the day like I Okay, I I love I'll just tell you I'll tell you what I did. Yes today's vlog. Did you see it? Um, let's see. What was it about? Yeah, it was about the throttle and the uh, It was about opening up the throttle a little bit in these guys. So basically Jordan I I did 20 miles And then after the run I uh, I went back and filmed the shots. Okay with the big camera So it was like so I didn't I didn't uh, does that make sense? So there's there's ways to to get creative to to create the daily vlog. Anyway, um Thank you susan for being proud. Okay anything else that I missed here Oh, thanks everybody for being here. I know that was a great live stream And I just had a great time talking about track talking about the marathons and thank you all again for um The super chats helps a ton Absolutely inspiring. We're gonna keep giving shoes away over time. We'll do another shoe giveaway soon probably not next week, but soon and um Let's see here Let's see. So greg I will answer one more question greg. He asks uh Injured college jr. Been out of the game since last june have been getting down and antsy about my time in the nc Double a running out any tips on staying motivated through long-term injuries? Oh, so sorry greg. I literally Lived that when I was at cu. I what you just said there um, I mean greg I must say like For cross-country what kept me motivated was you know competing for the team You know trying to help the team that helped me a lot Uh, greg I'll just put it out there. I kind of wish I would have taken Post collegiate running a little more seriously I took like four or five years of just chilling out Meaning like I think I could have Anyway, I wish I would have explored the marathon distance a lot a lot sooner You know in my mid 20s as opposed to like early 30s.  There's still a lot of running after college is what I'm trying to say I I I'm sorry you're injured and um, so hopefully that helps a little bit. All right. Love you guys. You're the best Thanks for being here. Thanks for watching signing off in the studio and uh seek beauty work hard And love each other and I don't know how to turn this thing off I love you guys. Thank you for being here. Seriously. All right. I just got to find I'm in the I'm in the main youtube page here. Hold on This is it. This is it. All right. Got to go to the live control room. You're the best um And this is what uh happens when I when I'm done recording for the day. I just start talking to myself. All right See you


I went from almost failing at university to ranking first at one of the best global universities. But how exactly did I do that? Well, I used my secret MDMA study framework. Hey friends, Greg here, the founder of your inception. Welcome to my channel. Today, I want to share with you how I went from almost failing at a very average university to ranking first at one of the best global universities. And in this video, I want to share with you my four-step MDMA study framework. I know the name sounds funny and it may remind you of something else, but don't worry. I didn't use any illegal substances, at least not to improve my exams course. Now the third step of this four-step process is very controversial. So bear with me. Now, before I was accepted to master's studies at Lund University, which used to be at around 50 to 60 best universities in the world and number first or number second in Sweden, I was actually failing at a very average university as a school of economics where I was studying. My average score was about 6.7, which is just about passing. I was really, really bad. I was one of the worst students of the year. And since I had no motivation, but I knew I somehow had to pass the exams and try to get good grades, at least to have a chance to get a good job after, at least that was my plan back then. I knew I had to change something, but I wasn't sure what or how to do it. And then I decided to apply to this amazing university and I said to myself, if I'm accepted, I'll be the best student of the year. How? Well, that's what I didn't know. And a couple of months later, I was actually accepted to study master's at Lund University and the program was one of the best global programs you can find. So I was really somehow motivated to get there, to move to Sweden and try to finish this school. And at the same time, I was really scared because I had no idea how am I going to do that. So I started discovering that I read in different books on productivity, on focus, on memory, because those are the issues I really had back then. And eventually I managed to develop this MDMA study framework which helped me became number one, the best student of the year. Now, the first step of this four step process is motivation. Now, this is an obvious one. If you want to finish or be good at any university, you need motivation, you need to be motivated. Now, what motivates you? I don't know, you have to find something for yourself. But there's one trick that I used. So when I moved abroad for this studying, I actually decided to imagine I live in this movie, basically. I created my new imaginary world where I'm studying abroad. I was in Sweden, which was very cold in the winter. There wasn't much sunlight, basically much light at all because it got dark pretty quickly. So I was alone. I didn't have many friends. And it was a perfect situation where I was able to create this imaginary story where I'm in this movie, I'm the main character and I have to work hard. I have to be focused and have to finish all the stuff that I want to finish successfully because otherwise I will fail. And being alone really helped me do that. And maybe this is one of the ways that can help you increase or improve your motivation. But anyway, find something for yourself. If you have some end goals like great career, family, traveling, even like material stuff, that doesn't matter to me. What's important is you need to find motivation. And if creating some imaginary story helps, well, just go for it. Now the second most important step was daily routine. I knew that if I want to be successful, I need some kind of a routine that I'll follow because otherwise with so many opportunities like parting and stuff, I will probably just fail. So I made a very simple daily routine. After I woke up, I did five to 10 minutes meditation. I didn't know anything about meditation before, but I just used different apps. I used calm back then. And it did the trick. So I tried to stay focused for a couple of minutes, tried to get more relaxed. And after doing meditation, I went for a quick run 15 to 20 minutes, not more than that. And this helped me get some energy. This helped me feel refreshed every single morning and relaxed at the same time. And once I get back from the run, I took a shower. Sometimes it was cold shower, which gave you more energy, sometimes just a normal shower and then a healthy breakfast. I usually went for oatmeal with blueberries, some bananas, almond milk, sometimes S8X. I don't eat X anymore. But yeah, that really worked for me. That was like two very quick meals to prepare. Very affordable. And they gave me the energy. And one really cool thing I did during the breakfast is I took my notebook and I wrote down the number one goal today. So I said, what is that I want to achieve this day? Is it I want to study something? I want to learn something? Do I want to finish an exam? Do I want to prepare for an exam?  So that's what I wrote down during breakfast. And when I was eating and writing this down, I already started thinking on how I'm gonna accomplish that. And after breakfast, I prepared a cup of coffee. This is a basic coffee with some MCT oil in and some butter. You can read all about it up here or watch my full review. And this gave me lots of energy, lots of stamina that I needed to be able to focus, to be able to learn and remember lots of things. By the way, guys, if you want to learn all about how you can get in the flow every single day, I prepared some videos for you. You can check them out there or in the description below. And yeah, check them out. They're really, really powerful. Now the third step of this handmade process, it's memory tricks. So I knew I had a really bad memory. It's still true, basically. I'm still, I have issues with remembering names. I have issues with remembering certain dates and stuff like this. But, you know, being at the university, this doesn't really help. It's not an excuse, right? You can go to your professor say, sorry, my memory is really bad. So yeah, can you just give me a better grade here? That's not gonna happen. So I need to do something. And that's how I came across the book called Moonwalking with Einstein. And this book was actually the first book I read about memory, how you can actually improve your memory that's gonna serve you better for the stuff that you need. One of the first things that I started doing after reading the book was, I started playing this so-called dual and bad game. This is a memory slash focus game that can dramatically improve your memory and focus at the same time. It's very challenging in the beginning, not, but it gets very, very challenging when you progress for different levels. And this one quickly doubled my memory. It actually improved my memory so much that I was really shocked at certain moments that I can remember so many things. Of course, after I stopped playing the game, my memory went back to normal after a couple of weeks, of course, not immediately. But during the time when I was playing the game, it was a real, real game changer. So I started playing this game for about 20 minutes every single day. In addition to that, I started using a thing called memory palace. If you read the book I mentioned before, or if you just Google memory palace, you're gonna find lots of useful content on that. Now memory palace by definition is basically a location in your mind that you know very well. This can be your house where you live or you used to live as a kid or a spot where you went to vacation many times. So a place that you know very much into details. Usually it's an interior part because you need to remember like where is a wardrobe, where is a chair, where like all the small parts and bits of this location. And you can use this to place different images, there's so-called mnemonic images on different places within this place in your mind. And once you walk through this place, at least in your mind, you can then remember what you placed on different positions. And it's so much easier to remember the words that you placed there, or different stuff, different products, different things that you need to remember. This is one of the best tricks that memory champions, you know there are competitions, memory competitions around the world, they use that to remember thousands of different things. While it sounds a bit challenging, it actually really isn't. So what I did is I know my place back home, a house where I lived as a kid, very well. So I imagined this place in my mind and then whenever I had to remember a different string of different stuff, very complex words or phrases or some strategies and stuff, I put those words in different ways, on different positions in this house. And whenever I had to remember that during an exam usually, I went back into this home through my mind obviously. And I tried to remember what I placed where. And this made a huge, huge difference. And the last memory trick that I used is whenever there was a hard, difficult word that I had to remember, obviously I'm not a native English speaker, I even had more issues with that, is I separated the whole word into smaller parts. And that helped me remember each part separately. And I was able to make this very crazy image of each singular part. And once I combined these images together, I was able to remember really, really hard words. Now to give an example, there is a word that I found that's called indefatigable and actually means persisting tirelessly. So how would I separate this word? Well, basically, indefatigable, there's in in the beginning. So in means you're in something. Then there's defat. So I would say this is, this also means we're very close to defeat, right? So I would remember defeat. Then there's IG, I just can't stand for Instagram. I will remember Instagram. And then at the end, there's a thing called able, right? Able means you can do something, right? So what we get is you're in something. There's a defeat. And there's Instagram. And you can do that. So basically how I remember this is I'll remember the whole situation. So I'm an Instagram or browsing an Instagram and showing people how I'm able to defeat other people. And then you can make this very crazy image how you actually defeat people like with swords or, you know, in a different way that it's really has to be weird. And then you will always remember this whole scene. So once you are once you have an exam or whatever, and you need to remember those crazy, difficult words to remember, you just go back and say, okay, what was I doing back then and say, well, I was an Instagram trying to show everyone I'm able to defeat people. Yeah. So I was thinking of the word indefatigable. And this trick is a bit harder. It takes some time that you remember how to do it properly. But once you do, and once you have really hard words that you need to remember, it always works. And that's but not least the fourth step of this process is I had to make an action plan. So obviously with many exams, it was really hard to plan everything in advance. So here's what I did. First of all, I tried to calculate how many words can I read per minute. Obviously a normal book you can read 200 to 300 words per minute. If you're an average reader, I am. So especially when I read in English, usually that's kind of the speed that I read with. However, when I was reading study cases or textbooks, I read even slower obviously, because I had to, you know, mark certain things down on read twice or three times soon. So I calculate this number, and then I checked how many pages to have to read to prepare for the exam. And then I made an assumption of how many times I have to read all those pages to remember everything I need to remember. Usually I had to read the same page three to four times even more to really remember everything. And, you know, then I just calculated everything. And it was much easier for me to kind of make an assumption on, you know, how much in advance do I have to start preparing for the exam. I also calculated like how many hours per day am I willing to study for the exam, or how many days, how many hours per day do I have time available. And yeah, as I said, I calculate everything. And I had a very clear image in front of me. And because of that, it was very easy to pass all the exams as a result. I was chosen as the best student of the year. And the most important is that at the same time, when I was studying at university, I was also starting my first company, my first startup. And I could do both things together. It was challenging, but I still managed to do them without any big, big struggles. And the coolest thing is that even today in my business life, I can still use all the same tricks, all the same strategies to remember things, to be motivated, to, of course, plan things as good as possible. And I still can't remember many, many things, especially I use the same memory tricks now and then when I had to remember really hard important things. And that's really, really cool. So once you learn the whole process, it can serve you for weeks, months, or even for your whole life. And that's really cool. All right, guys, so much about my anime study framework. I hope you liked it. Please don't forget to follow your inception on Facebook and Instagram. Don't forget to like this video. And if you found it useful, please share it with your friends. I would be super happy about it. All right, guys, I hope to see you soon again.


This morning, the Commonwealth Minister for Employment, Senator the Honourable Eric Abetz opened this virtual seminar series. I'd like to thank him for his words and encouragement of this innovative and groundbreaking event. Hello, I'm Anne Sherry, the Chair of Safe Work Australia. That's the national body whose job it is to develop policy to improve work health and safety and workers' compensation arrangements across Australia. I'd like to add my welcome and invite you to become involved in the Australian Work Health and Safety Strategy 2012-2022 virtual seminar series. You can view the material at any time which suits your schedule. Australia has a long and proud history of bipartisan support for Workplace Health and Safety, which importantly has been underpinned by strong employer and employee backing. I'm gratified that our success in developing and implementing national strategies in this area has been internationally applauded and emulated. It began in the 1990s when the need for a national platform to drive improvements in workplace health and safety was recognised. Concern about the number of Australian workers being killed, injured or becoming ill, resulted in the National Occupational Health and Safety Improvement Framework. This provided a national roadmap for action. It was followed in 2002 by a 10-year national OH&S strategy, which sharpened our focus and established national priorities and targets. In 2009, Safe Work Australia, an independent Australian Government statutory body of which I am the current chair, was established. Safe Work Australia represents a genuine partnership between governments, unions and industry, working together towards the goal of reducing death, injury and illness in the workplace. Safe Work Australia developed the Australian Work Health and Safety Strategy 2012-2022, which was endorsed by all Australia's Workplace Relations Ministers, the ACTU, the Australian Industry Group and the Australian Chamber of Commerce and Industry. The Australian Strategy is designed to drive national activities, which collectively will bring about improvements in work health and safety. It's aimed at regulators, industry, unions and other organisations, so they in turn can influence the work and workplaces across Australia. It's deliberately sufficiently broad and high level, so all of those groups can undertake activities that are relevant for them and which contribute to the desired outcomes. The vision of the Australian Strategy is healthy, safe and productive working lives for all Australians. To get to that vision, we identified four broad outcomes we want to reach by 2022. We want to see less work related death, injury and illness. For this to happen, we need to reduce workers' exposure to hazards and risks. This can be achieved if we really eliminate or minimise their exposure, not just by relying on personal protective equipment, but by designing out the risks from the beginning. We will also need the infrastructure to support this. This means effective modern laws and an education system that provides everyone, workers, business owners and the regulators, with the knowledge and skills they need. And finally, we need timely and reliable national research and data that tells us where to put our efforts. The Australian Strategy targets help focus national attention on the human costs of workplace incidents. By 2022, we hope there will be a reduction of at least 20% in the number of worker deaths due to injury. A reduction of at least 30% in the incident rate of claims resulting in one or more weeks off work. And a reduction of at least 30% again in the incident rate of claims for muscular skeletal disorders resulting in one or more weeks off work. Still the most common workplace claim. To achieve the vision and these targets, we will need concerted and integrated effort. Seven key action areas were chosen that are collectively most likely to lead us towards these outcomes. The first action area is healthy and safe by design. Our goal is to eliminate or minimize hazards during the design phase. Imagine what we could achieve if buildings, machinery and our systems of work were designed from the start to be inherently safe. This is where innovative thinking, creative design solutions can have a big impact. The Australian Strategy recognises the tremendous influence people within supply chains and networks have to improve work health and safety. Recently this was the focus of a G20 task force on employment meeting held in Australia. We want to see Australian companies use their commercial relationships to improve work health and safety, not only for their own workers but for others in the chain including those in foreign countries. Where, when and how work is being done is changing as are the workplace risks. Everyone, whatever their role in the organisation should have the skills and knowledge to do their work safely. Business expects workplace inspectors and advisors to be up to the job and able to give them the right advice. Australia therefore needs a training and education system that both employers and workers trust to give them the appropriate skills. Safe Work Australia's data and research program is helping us measure Australia's performance and provides an evidence base for our national policies. We need to know where the greatest workplace hazards are, which workers are most at risk and most importantly what interventions work to eliminate or reduce exposures to hazards and risks. While all of us understand the impact of government policy on business, their considerable purchasing power also drives change, for better or worse. As a business leader I notice how governments as employers manage their workplace risks and their people and if they're doing what they urge the private sector to do. I was pleased one of the two action areas chosen as a theme for this virtual seminar series was leadership and culture. I know the importance of engaging our communities on these issues so they expect, they demand people come home from work safe and healthy each and every day. Leaders routinely manage a range of business risks. In the same way many organisations are now showing what they're doing to be green, they also need to show what they're doing for their workers' health and safety. As the chair of Safe Work Australia, a CEO and a board member I know organisation leaders can have a significant impact on improving work health and safety as well as improving the bottom line. We must be constantly alert to the old risks and on the lookout for the ones we might not be expecting. To know what they are we must ask the right and sometimes hard questions and keep asking them until we get answers. We need to collect the right data to have the useful metrics, ones that will tell us what to watch for and whether or not we're getting it right. I know what gets measured gets noticed by business leaders and investors so it's important for all of us to have accurate and timely information about the organisation's work health and safety performance. Across Australia I think companies need to improve quality and consistency of the information about their work health and safety which guide their decisions. I encourage companies to include accurate information in annual reports. It's important for the community and investors to know you are managing some of the most critical business risks. Your people's safety. In order to listen to people and to hear difficult and uncomfortable truths about our organisations we need a culture that fosters consultation and collaboration and learning. Where that communication is effective and when work health and safety is given priority in all work processes and decisions people's safety will improve. I also strongly believe that good communication brings opportunities for innovation and improved productivity. We will make sure the link between work health and safety and productivity is strongly emphasised during the virtual seminar series. Of course we all know leaders can come in many forms from board members to the local health and safety representative. This month we will hear from a range of speakers who will explore how good or poor leadership influences health and safety. Responsive and effective regulation is another focus during this virtual seminar series. The regulatory framework, the legislation and policies and practice must be responsive and effective. And the relationships between regulators and all who have a stake in work health and safety need to be constructive, transparent and accountable. In developing regulation governments need to think about the significance of the hazard they want to address. Regulations and the way they're enforced both need to be in proportion to the risk involved. Businesses want a level playing field. They want to know the regulator will be fair and consistent and know about the risks in their industry. They want to know the regulator will take into account their company's circumstances. Workers, business and the community all expect the law will be clear about the standards of protection that are required and what will happen to both employers and workers if these obligations are not met. During the seminar we'll be exploring what's an effective and responsive regulatory framework, what businesses need and expect and what the regulators expect from businesses in return. In the last few years Australia has moved towards nationally consistent work health and safety laws, which have now been adopted in seven of the nine jurisdictions. Businesses, especially small business, need simple, clear information about what's required of them. At the same time some big organisations would prefer flexibility rather than a prescriptive approach. Regulators and policy makers need to be able to support both ends of the spectrum, providing simplicity for small business who for a range of reasons may struggle with government requirements, including work health and safety, while allowing bigger organisations the flexibility to go further than the minimum where they have the capacity and maturity to do so. And of course all the regulators themselves are operating in an environment where they are all trying to do more with less, meaning they can't always provide as much support and guidance as they would like to or as business needs. This is where industry associations and unions play a vital role to help workplaces meet their obligations. During the last 10 years there has been a drop in the number of people being killed at work. In 2003 259 people died as a result of a work related injury. By 2013 that had reduced to 191, although this is still far too many. In addition to the deaths caused by workplace injuries, each year we estimate 2,000 or more workers die and many thousands more become seriously ill as a result of exposure to carcinogens or other hazardous substances, sometimes years or decades later. While most of us are all too aware of the risks from asbestos, what is less well known is that a disturbingly large number of hazardous chemicals are still routinely used or produced in workplaces. This is therefore justifiably a continuing focus for Safe Work Australia's work. The numbers of people who become ill or are seriously injured due to work is steadily falling however, as a result of tougher requirements around their use and even bans of some particularly hazardous chemicals. Workplace exposure to them is decreasing. These restrictions should mean in the next few decades we will see fewer Australian workers succumbing to work related cancers and other illnesses. In 2006 the ABS Work Related Injuries Survey indicated over 689,000 workers reported they had experienced a work related injury or were diagnosed with a work related illness. In the most recent survey by the ABS in 2010, despite a nearly 10% increase in the workforce, the numbers of workers who report they were injured or became ill from work was down to just over 638,000, a 16% decrease. For a range of reasons, because people are self-employed therefore not eligible or choose not to make a claim, our workers compensation data doesn't pick up all of these cases. Nevertheless, it gives us very reliable data about the trends in serious injuries and illnesses for those people who were eligible for workers compensation. In the last decade we've seen a steady decrease in workers compensation claims for injuries and illnesses from just over 16 claims per thousand employees in 2001 to just under 12 per thousand in 2011, a 27% drop. Under the current and previous strategies, some disorders were chosen as priorities. These were based on their severe consequences, numbers of workers they affected and whether there are known prevention options. Between 2001 and 11, the numbers of workers suffering work related musculoskeletal disorders, respiratory diseases like asthma and contact dermatitis all fell. Unfortunately, three disorder groups did not display a clear trend either up or down. These were mental disorders, noise induced hearing loss and occupational cancers. In the virtual seminar series, we'll be paying particular attention to two industry sectors where disturbingly high numbers of workers are killed or seriously injured each year, agriculture and road transport. By prioritizing them, we can focus attention and activities on identifying the causes of death injury and illness and on working to find and implement solutions. The numbers of deaths in these industries are way out of proportion to their size. Last year, 191 Australians died at work. 40 of the deceased workers were employed in agriculture and services to agriculture and 39 were employed in road transport. These two sectors account for less than 5% of the Australian workforce, yet account for 41% of all Australian workers killed in 2013. These figures are truly appalling. The injury rates in those sectors are also of great concern. Over the past 10 years, road transport and agricultural workers were injured at almost twice the rate of other Australian workers. The good news, though, is that the concerted effort made in these priority industry sectors has seen some improvement. During the virtual seminar series, you'll hear about some initiatives that are happening in these sectors. Even if you don't work in them, you will find these presentations informative. Finally, we must not forget the actual dollar cost of poor work, health and safety. In 2008-9, the total economic cost of work related deaths, injury and illness was estimated to be $60.6 billion. This estimate represents cost to individuals, the community and business and is one we would all like to see reduced. There are many challenges in the decades ahead, which will need to be faced by business, governments and our communities that directly or indirectly impact on health and safety at work. The significant structural changes to the Australian economy as a result of regional and global pressures are obvious to most of us. The widely reported loss of jobs in the manufacturing sector, slowdowns in demand for minerals, increased farm ownership by multinational corporations and demand for service sector employees are some indications of what might lie ahead. Australian businesses increasingly operate in a global and highly competitive marketplace, where the same work may be done more cheaply offshore. Our customers expect Australian products and services to be good quality and cheap, or they may choose to source them overseas. At the same time, not every country shares or believes they can afford the value we place on workers safety. So Australian businesses are not always competing on a level playing field. Australian governments and businesses have an important role in applying sustained pressure through global and local supply chains to improve the work health and safety of workers everywhere, not just in Australia. So the cost of products or services are not subsidised by substandard worker health and safety. Australia needs to continue to embrace the opportunities for innovation, safety and productivity that new technologies can present. These are fundamentally changing how and where we work. They're allowing us to work from home or on the road as independent contractors instead of employees and to do all tasks in new more efficient and hopefully safer ways. There are economic and social pressures for increased workforce participation. This participation is one of the key pillars of national productivity and economic prosperity, as well as improving individual wellbeing and making our society more inclusive. New groups are coming into the workforce or having a higher profile, working mothers, people from different cultures with disabilities, older workers and an increasingly international workforce and this is to be applauded. We know that well designed work is good for people and good for business. A challenge for Australia is to ensure in the face of economic pressures, there are opportunities for everyone to have and remain in work, including people with disabilities and workers who become ill or injured. To support this greater inclusiveness, jobs need to be well designed to suit this more diverse working population. What makes good work and how this can be best achieved is a current focus for Safe Work Australia. Significant improvements in work health and safety have been made over the preceding decades. To bring about further improvement, we need to tackle collectively the more difficult and complex issues. Traditionally we've dealt with risks in isolation one at a time. In real workplaces, hazards and risks interact with each other. People bring to work their individual vulnerabilities and strengths and there are usually competing demands for limited resources. In part this is why I think leadership is so important. We must have the courage to deal with the hard and complex issues, to keep asking the difficult questions and to resolutely focus on making work health and safety a key consideration in business decisions. I'm pleased the seminars will explore the pivotal role leaders play to keep us focused on the hard but worthwhile issues. A good leader can ensure their organization builds a strong reporting culture about all its risks, including health and safety, one that tells them honestly where the hard problems remain. To know that organizations need accurate and timely data we'll be telling you about how pioneering Australian companies are reporting their work health and safety performance in their annual reports, allowing the community and investors to know how they're managing some of the most critical business risks, their people's safety. A good leader will ensure early intervention is the norm. If someone is hurt at their workplace, if a worker needs time off work they'll insist their organization has effective processes in place so that worker can return to work early and safely because good work and being in a supportive workplace is so important for their recovery. There's a continuum between work health and safety and workers compensation and rehabilitation where each informs and drives the other. But an artificial divide between work health and safety and workers compensation still exists in some government's policy with considerable differences between systems and entitlements across Australia. We and our governments must increase our efforts to build more effective and efficient workers compensation systems and reduce inequitable differences when workers are harmed. Attitudes have changed since visionary 19th century reformers began to legislate to protect workers. We have better knowledge systems tools and governments businesses and workers are working together to make a difference and we are now seeing the results. I understand what drives business why business owners get out of bed every morning and work as hard as they do. They want to make a goal of their enterprise to make a living for their families and to keep their employees in jobs. Without that passion the Australian economy would grind to a halt. But we also have obligations to keep our people safe when they're at work and good business decisions and good work health and safety should go hand in hand. Stay tuned over the next month as we explore the themes in this virtual seminar series. To register for updates or for more information visit the Safe Work Australia website. Thank you.


Hey there lads and ladies it is petrifying pumpkins here and as you can see I've unlocked the pumpkin face paint for firewall zero hour in real life Because I'm better than you you know, I'm on top of the game. I'm ahead of the curve. Okay, but Let's get to the topic at hand Hard to breathe in Okay So as you may have noticed I recently hit 1,000 subscribers on the channel. It's gone over 1,100 now The growth has been been fantastic. I'm very happy with that. I said I was going to do something special. I Said what did I say? I said we're getting a penis reveal at 1,000 subs a Lot of you guys must have thought I wasn't serious or something like that because nobody's really been asking about it But I can't really understand because you know why wouldn't you want to see my penis, but Excuse me, but yeah It's happening. This is it. It's happening, but we got to get we got to get prepared first. So hold on a second Okay, I got my I got my tissues cleaning up the mess. I got my spuds.  Oh, yeah, that's the stuff right there That's it. Yeah Okay Okay, I was like I'm getting really turned on right now. Can you see that? Can you see that budge right now? I got gone Look, I told you I told you I was gonna show you Nobody believed me.  It's getting Getting really turned on right now It's getting oh There it is. There it is when it's blue when it's blue. I'm excited Okay, there it is Promise fulfilled.

I appreciate it very much I'll see you guys in the next one. It's very hard to breathe in this mask. So bye. Bye


Hi and welcome to the session. Today we will discuss the following question. It says which measure of central tendency is given by the x coordinate of the point of intersection of the more than ojive and less than ojive. Let's see its solution. We know that ojives are related to median. When we draw both the ojives that is less than type and more than type on the same graph the two ojives intersect each other at a point. When from this point we draw a perpendicular on the x axis the point at which it cuts the x axis gives us the median. So that means median is given by the x coordinate of the point of intersection of the more than ojive and less than ojive. Thus median is the required answer to this question. With this we finish this session. Hope you must have understood the question. Goodbye, take care and have a nice day.


Today we're going to be taking a look at this electric spin scrubber. It's the HL1002. Let's get it out of the box and let's check it out. We've got this from a company that asked if I wanted to check the spin scrubber out and they would send me one and I said sure. As always, links for these products will be in the description below. So let's open this up. First thing, we have our little manual, different accessories, and we have a handle. That's nice. And we have the unit. Feels very nice. It's got two speeds, it's got a high and a low, so this is nice. You can put your handles on or you can use it just like this. This would be nice for buffing cars. Okay, so what I'm going to do, like I always do, is I'm going to put this on the charger and let it charge. This is rechargeable and I'm going to go through the, oh, this is a hanger. That's nice. Yeah, this is a hanger. You stick this up on the wall. This is, it's clear. You peel the back off of this and this will stick on the wall and you put this down in there. This is where your handle goes. Your handle will screw into there and you don't need all the handle pieces if you don't want them. You can use it like that. You can use it like this. You can put this handle piece here for shorter or you can add this one, then this one for a longer handle. That's the size of a mount handle. So, all right, let me get this plugged in, make sure it's fully charged and we'll get to using it. Here's your charger right here and it is USB-C. So that's nice. So let me get this charged up. We'll check a few of these things out. Okay, so we'll go over a few of the attachments you get with it, the accessories. This is called a pointed brush, of course. It's getting cracks and crevices. You have a curved brush, see the curve on it. You have a cleaning brush holder. You have the flat brush. You have the large sponge brush that's just, it's like a Velcro. Stick that on there like that, peel it off. And you have a polishing cloth. You have a scouring pad. This also seems to be an applicator for putting polish on something if you're going to use for this or this. And you have a little storage bag. Very handy. And you have your stick on mount. When you have it stuck onto the wall, when you take it off, it just comes off. Just like that. Very nice. So I'll try it out on a few things. I'm not going to go overboard on that. We're not going to check out every brush. We get the idea, but I think this is pretty nice. Especially, I mean, these two here can buff out a car, you know, in hard to reach places. I do have other auto buffers in there, but this is handy that you can just, I've got it plugged in right now, but that you can just hold it in your hand or if you're, say, cleaning on the floor, let's say the grout on your tile floor, you might want to use something like this or something like this to clean the grout. You have a long handle. That's very nice. So I'm going to let that charge a little longer and then I'm going to put this handle together. Just screws together, just like, okay, hang on, screws together like this. That's a pretty long, pretty long handle. That's probably about three foot handle. So yeah, that's very nice. Okay. Let me let this charge and we'll try to use a couple of these little attachments. Like I said, we're not going to go overboard. We know what attachments do and things, but I do like that this is a polishing, you get polishing pads with it. I do like that and that this, you can just easily change your pads over. Very nice. And here's another nice little feature. When you screw this on, there's a little button here. When you screw the head onto the handle, you screw it until it tightens up and then give it a little click. You'll hear it click and see that pop up and it will not untwist on you until you push the button to untwist it. Good feature there. And guys, as you can see, this is, this is long. This is a long attachment or long handle for the attachments. I don't have to bend down if I don't want, I can just turn it on, clean, growl, mop the floor or whatever I want to do with this. If I want to do something by hand that we're going to do here in just a second, take the handle off and you can just use this by hand if you're wanting to get into places like up on the wall, wall tiles or something of that nature. Okay. So we'll do a quick test here. This is a good candidate here. This is the bottom of our bar stools. As you can see, they always get nasty. That's where your feet is all the time. So I've got a little bit of chrome polish here. I want to put a little bit on my blue applicator. Put some of that on there. Now we've got this pad, we're going to put this pad on here. We're going to start out low, then we'll move up to high. What this does, it'll cut the dirt and grime. When it comes down to a dull shine like that, we're going to take our pad off. Then we're going to put our polishing pad on, just like this. And we're just going to start out on high and there you go. I hope you can see the difference on that from up here to there. So there you go, a very nice product. And as always, the link for this product will be in the description box below. Now all I have to do is finish that bar stool and do another one. Thanks for watching guys. Hopefully you have a great day. We'll see you soon. Bye-bye and take care.
