Thanks mate! Good on you for the ultra. Hope getting back into running goes well for ya!

I've been running for a couple years now. Went from zero (and I mean zero, no ancillary working out either) to a half marathon at month 11. It was a lot. So much, in fact, that I developed ITBS a week later and spent most of the next 3 months not running. Which is why when I saw "marathon with 60 days of training" I thought, "this dude is going to hurt himself." The 8 week recovery seemed about right since that will allow strains, shin splints, and stress fractures enough time to heal. Hard to say what you had without an MRI, but clearly the resting worked. I've spent nearly either resting from two separate bouts of shin splints and the slowly grinding mileage back up by 10% a week. It's extremely frustrating, especially since the rest of you is fine. Glad to see the finish. It's too bad nearly all of the races since March have been virtual since the race atmosphere is very unique and it evokes all sorts of unexpected emotions. I nearly cried after my first 5K race and the first half. I also get butterflies in my stomach when approaching the end of every race, but never during the training runs. It's amazing, and I hope you (and all of us) get to enjoy it again in the near future.

Maybe an official marathon soon??? That would be cool to see how much you progressed!! Great work

I was training for a marathon (I'm definitely not a runner), eating clean and working out. Lost 60 lbs during the 8 months of training, started fasting because I wanted to lose a bit more before the marathon anddddd I got really sick. Went to the doctor was physically drained and was told to eat more. So I ate and ran and got better, the time was getting SOOOOO good and the distances kept growing but something was off. My body inside had this weird pain inside that came when I was at my most relaxed. Well, 1000 miles later and 70 lbs lost, I'm pregnant! So it's been seven months since finding out and I'm still running every other day but the marathon is on hold. Maybe a half after I give birth?

Be smart with this video. The takeaway advice (that is not given by the way) is : take the time your body need to adapt (certainly not 6 weeks for a marathon). Everybody want to have instantly what they want (modern life). Just take the time, enjoy the process, listen your body and adapt. And in the big picture you will gain time. Because you will be less likely to be injured ;)

Runners are athletes who put a lot of physical and mental energy into their training, and sacrifice countless of hours and much soreness to get to where they want to be. I, myself, am a runner and consider myself an athlete, and as a runner I understand how much I have to sacrifice to get to where I want to be, and I have high respect for this sport and my fellow runners.

I ran a half marathon after a month and a half of training and now my ankle is sore when I run and to touch. To avoid running injury take things slowly don't rush into long runs.

Yea two months is really not a lot of time especially if you have not been running. I'd recommend building your fitness level up and run some shorter races first before jumping into a full marathon. You don't want to tough it out and hurt joints and soft tissues pull things and be hurting for months because you pushed your body beyond what it was ready for. I have run a few half marathons and my prep for those is usually been about a month but I really should be training more. For a full I definitely would want to put in at least 4 to 6 months of decent training else I'd probably be jogging really slow the 2nd part of the race just to finish and could risk pulling something end up with an injury. I did a virtual half marathon during covid couple years ago by myself and I did not drink any water the whole time and I didn't eat for about a day either before I ran it and I finished around 2hr 25min. I think half my half marathons I probably only slept about 5-6 hours before the race. my usual pace is around 10 min mile or so. I did train a few months once and that one i finished in 1hr 50min and felt better and stronger at the end so more training really makes it better for you.

Beautiful Pitt Meadows B.C. 👏

I only trained for 30days before my marathon.At the time i hadnt run a single mile in years and was super out of shape. I finished in 5 hours and my body was toast when i crossed the finish line
