I tried to swim a marathon with not training. This video shows my journey to swimming a marathon without any training and how it went. Swimming a marathon was definitely one of the hardest things I've done, and in this video I share a how visualization helped my swimming process and helped me complete my marathon. Hope you guys like it!
Have a great week guys! Cheers.

    It's amazing how much hard work, effort and time you put into both these challenges and videos, guys. I don't comment on KZread much but I wanted to say your results are staggering. As someone who exercises regularly, keeps his diet in check and tries to achieve similar goals as you do in your fitness videos, it's inspiring to see everyday people achieving this much instead of all those online coaches who have this all figured out for years. I'm ashamed to say I'm little envy of your results from time to time. But at least it pushes me further. Keep up the good work, the quality is amazing.

    I planned kind of the same thing this year for me aswell. Just not a swimming marathon but a running one. Unfortunatlely I didnt meet my own goal to make it in August as I had an injury with my knee. But now that I watched this video I am so determined to run the marathon latest by april next year. I would say that I am a pretty decent runner but always feared the long distance runs until I one day just went out to test how far I could go. Turned out it was a half marathon that day. Since then tho my physical condition has declined a lot I would say. And this just gave me the last motivation kick I needed to get back to my training schedule. Thank you!

    My first thought after reading the title: U gonna die. After hearing his time for the first k: U gonna die. But on a more serious note: Obviously u gotta work on your technique. Its not the worst Ive seen, but there is so much room for improvement. Also: U did way to much kicking, thats why your hamstrings closed. As little kicking as possible. It also was a mistake to swim the first lap without the cap, that really cost you way to much energy. And maybe try a different fueling strat. For example I used juice mixed with water (1:2 ratio) and some chocolate bars. For the last k, use coca cola. Otherwise, mad respect

    2c: Building a natural rhythm is a big part of it. A 3 or 5 stroke breathing rotation is usually spot on for getting in the "zone". You look like you change strokes a lot and then fallback to a 2 stroke rhythm this could be burning excessive energy and messing with your mental state making you fall short.
