This TOUGH Marathon Workout Got The Better of ME.
Ойын-сауық
In today's video I was joined by 2:20 marathon runner, Nick Bester, for my final session before the Bath Half marathon. With 7 weeks until marathon race day, I hope you enjoy an insight into a training session that didn't go to plan. Training for a marathon is very tough on the body and I clearly wasn't fully ready for this one in terms of recovery. If you enjoy the video please leave a like and consider subscribing.

After all even Ben is human! 💪🏻 Good legs for your HM
love these collabs dude. 2 of my favorite running youtubers!
Absolutely respect this, realistic training vlogs are so much better than only the best workouts
Little subtle positivity from Nick out there, what a duo 👌🏻
Two beasts go to work 👊
I see u have been stronger in ur core💪 ur running position or much better now .. keep going on👍🏻 u gona get some great race this year!
Love these collabs
Glad to see you two working together!
I love staying in the lodges at that secret location! Great run 👍
The og's! Great to see you working together 🎉
Love the back to back collaboration. 💪 Speedsters reunited... Again. ⚡️⚡️⚡️ Looking fly in the Adizero kit. 😎
think it would be cool to see the settings/layout you have on your coros!

I love this collaboration with Nick
The highs and lows of marathon training 📈📉 gotta embrace it all. I think I need to return to this exposed loop again for another workout! The grind was reel! 👊🏻
Brilliant video , both excellent athletes . I was hoping Nick was going to give you some boom shakalaka socks 😂
Great video as always. Interesting when watching from the rear how your left leg lifts a lot more on the up kick 🤔
Great to see you two together!!

Not hitting scheduled paces are all apart of the process. My 1st marathon build I was pretty much spot on. 2nd marathon build is where I learned this. During those “failed workouts” I just think to myself there’s no way I’m not better than If I didn’t get out there and try the “faster paces.” Anyways good vid Ben, looking forward to see how u cook it up at the half
Not that I can ever dare to run these paces but this video is very relatable
Love your content Ben! Question, are all of your videos shot with the Go 3 or only when you’re running?
Had the same problem with my long run felt a bit down after but this helped a lot !

@@User90126 honestly just work hard and you can get better, that just isn’t as crazy as it sounds, I was at 20 minute about a year ago, consistent mileage progress and you can get better. You can get an 18 minute 5k 💪💪💪

Your worst run is someone else's dream. Only ever compete against yourself, and enjoy the journey.
Completely off-topic but Will O'Connor has broken down the advantages of using a Stryd power meter. What are your thoughts on power meters in running and have you ever considered getting one?
Where did you get the countdown widget?
Ha ha Nick can’t stop himself from coaching 😅👍
See you at the Copenhagen Marathon 😉
How come your Copenhagen marathon countdown widget has the Spanish flag? 🇪🇸😅 awesome city for coffee and beer, hope you have time there before and after the running to enjoy some delicious beverages 🇩🇰
Bro i have it band syndrome give me some tips ro recovery
we need more of you too together

Watch out for the speed camera at 7:07 !
Nick = monster

Nick got a speeding ticket! 😂
My marathon is in 8 weeks and I did a half yesterday at target marathon pace. I really struggled. My heart rate should be 15 bpm lower if I want to keep this pace for the full. Not sure at this point if it is even feasible or I should reconsider. I will have to see how coming weeks turn out.

8 weeks is still plenty of time. Keep the training consistent and you never know. It’s also possible you were having an off day or carrying the fatigue from the training so don’t worry too much! It’s crazy what you can do on race day

I’m pretty sure CPH Marathon starts at 9:30 and not 10:00 like you have on your countdown widget 🤔
Nice dive at 6.17 mins
Ben's time was worse on the 4th rep cos he slowed down for the speed camera so he wouldn't get a ticket. Nick's second fine of the day.
