How is training going?

Some fantastic, practical advice. Most videos are far too complicated and discourage us from even trying for that distance. It takes months to build up your distances. I’ve managed to run a number of half marathons now. Never thought it was possible and especially only since I’ve turned 50. My next goal is to aim for a full marathon. Don’t know how long it will take but I’ll get there.

It’s almost all mental, you may feel pain, but it’s temporary. I’m going to run my first ever marathon but 28 miles, I might just die.

Honestly motivation plays a huge factor and same with the energy of the event. I thought I was gonna walk a few times during mine ended up doing it in sub 4 hours

You finished 👍

Participated in the Belgrade Marathon this past weekend. My first one ever and keep in mind I may not be the one to give out advice, but one conclusion i can take from it is STAY ON TOP OF YOUR NUTRITION. Coming from a backround of doing mainly half distance triathlons,and half marathons I didn’t think it would be a much of a problem. I WAS SO WRONG. It started off great, I came in at half mark point at around 1h20mins having only had about 2 gels (~55g of carbs) and things were going perfectly according to my pacing plan, then at around km 27/8 it hit me like a brick wall. It was hell from then on and i finished with a final time of 3h4mins and 31sec. Had I payed more attention to my nutrition i could have finished in under 2h50 for certain.Dont neglect or underestimate how many calories your body need to function properly whilst running 42km

Thank you. My first marathon is in 12 weeks, the Sanlam Cape Town marathon. Ive run 4 half marathons this year already. I was considering doing a different marathon prior to the real one as training but your advice of not doing more than 32km saved me. Thanks. Looking forward to my first marathon.

You guys are fabulous, thank for the tips. Condensed and precise, as always.

Personally I would have included some 'real life' video shots of people 'running' the latter stages of a marathon - ie walking! It is absolutely nothing to be ashamed about and, if we are honest, is what gets most of the "mid/back of the back" to the finish line.

I've got my first marathon in October, the Marine Corps Marathon! Just ran my first 13 mi trail race on Saturday, I'm looking forward to something a bit flatter!

I am not doing a marathon and admire people who do that type of race. I am competing in 3 Olympic distance Triathlons this year and wondering If I am gone absolute crazy. The take away from this video is when training not to do the race before its time in the training. I can only trust the process and have fun on the day. Cheers

There are take-outs even for me, despite the the fact that I am only planning a half in September. My intermediate scheduled goals is a 10k PB in July. In terms of volume, I find it reassuring. I am at 25-30 (sometimes 35) k per week. If 50 is enough for a full, increasing to 35-40 should be realistic enough and good for a half even though some web-sites consider this too little. As for the long run, it's my understanding that for a half marathon, unlike for a marathon, going the full distance during long runs is actually recommended, but I have a few months to settle that debate as my long runs are currently in the 10k range.

@Aeronwor

Жыл бұрын

If you want to complete the half, then you do not necessarily need to run the full distance in training, if you want to go for a specific time, or you want to run it as part of a 70.3 triathlon, then even running over distance during training can be advisable.

I like your incremental goals strategy as I used it from the start as a beginner all the way to doing regular 10K’s - but recently I’ve set a *4 year goal* to do a marathon as a total nobody who comes out of nowhere with ridiculous endurance

I appreciate this video, I’m running my first marathon in 14 weeks! I am motivated and scared at the same time, but I’m putting in the work. I’m currently at 18 miles a week.😊

I REALLY agree with entering right away. I ran my first ever 10 km almost 2 months ago, sunscreen then I’ve ran like a goggins jr, feeling ready for my first marathon that is 1 month to go. If it wasn’t for me signing up, I’d never be at the level that I am now

Very well done video!! Thanks 😊

Thanks for the advice boss! ❤

Running my first marathon this saturday! I’m very excited!

For any fellow beginner runners, I recommend the Hoka Rincon 3. They are the daily trainers that are super light and cushioned and they cheaper compared to other shoes. 124.99 usd but most of the time they are on sale for 99.99 usd. Only problem I have with them is they’re prone to wear and tear after roughly 200-250 mileage.

Never taken the plunge and entered a marathon, something that was always on radar. Always struggled with tendonitis and achilles problems. Now have gout and osteoarthritis. Had new total new hip replacement in 2021. So no hope! lol

Thank you for explaining it

i never did marathon road race. and no plan to do that yet 🧐. but i however already did UltraTrail 53k😅. i went from HM road race to ut 53k race last year. I think UT challenge is not pure speed strategy like FM road race, but also strategy to last the whole course inclusive ascent/descents, and nice views🤔 one day i'll definitely try road FM🙏

When you suggest running up to 50k a week, is this just a goal to work your way up to, or should you do this for a couple weeks to train? Also, how long before the marathon should we cut down the frequency of our runs to prepare?
