@@tworunningbrooms thanks, hopefully it turns out to be the best block I've ever done 😬

@@ThePlantPoweredRunner thanks Dave and thanks for sticking with it, took a while to put together this one 😂

@@RunFreeandStrong not sub3 but 3hr10 or about there would be more than enough 😃

@@tworunningbrooms thanks for your support ! I'm sure I'll do better than last year 😂 with a 7 month build up I should have a better chance, let see. But first next week at the GNR - let's see what Mrs run the planet can do 😃

@@RunThePlanet are you running with her?

@@tworunningbrooms if she lets me 😂

@@deansummerton2577 thanks Dean 😃 seems your on the same plan or same rest week as me 😂 hope it goes well for you at Yorkshire. Are you going for a time ?

I'd be delighted with 4 hours 30. My PB is 4.38 at the moment mate.

@@deansummerton2577 I was a 4:38'er at one point. I'm sure you can comfortably go under 4:30

@@kennyosborne5835 yeah I think you should, you be a sub 2:30 guy there inm sure !

@@Mack.Tracks thanks Mack ! If you can get there it's great, there's usually about a 4 week window before they sell out so you have to be quick when they open it up. Fortunately it's not a ballot and first come first served (apart from last year's entrants get first choice. But it's getting busier every year (you probably know all that 😂

Thanks Leszek, I'll be going for 3hr10 again. I'm sure you'll get whatever time you want, the course is very fast and especially if you can handle a little bit of heat (cool start last year but warm in the end). You've got a busy Sept/Oct schedule good luck 😃 See you there !

@@RunThePlanet Thanks! If everything will go smooth for me in training then I'll try to run the same time - we will surely meet in start corral then :) How is it with accommodation and flights - did you had problems last year to book them? I have direct flights from Warsaw only I'm thinking if I should book it already now or wait to get better prices? I need 5 tickets as we go with our daughters...

@@LeszekDeska I think you can get accommodation but it's expensive to be within walking distance to the start line (but aren't all the big races like that). I met someone on the plane on the way back, he stayed in air b&b for very cheap and booked it late, but I like to have it all planned out sooner. For corals you need proof of time (a recent race) to get on the front corals. There's about a 3:15 to 3:30 one (can't remember exact as the time band is strange) but I'll be in that one I think.

@@RunThePlanet I will also book in advance evrything as I can't risk b&b for family of 5, same for tickets. About starting coral - I'll check if my time from Hamburg this year (3:17) will qualify me to a good spot, surely to 3:15-3:30. Sometimes they accept time from half marathon, I had god one this year (1:31 in Warsaw) maybe that will help. It would be better to qualify to that coral which is sub 3:15, then I would stand in the end of it and had much less people in the start area... I will post a comment here or on strava if I get more info on that.

Thanks @@hky1717 😃 it's a while ago but I had 5 Maureen gels and 1 sis gel during the race. Also I used the nuun electrolytes drink offered on course. Did you run it or are you thinking of entering ?

@@RunThePlanetJust signed up for my first one BMO 2025!

@@hky1717 fantastic, good luck and wish you all the best with your training. I really enjoyed the race, the Canadian support was great 😃 I think I'll go back one day.

@@deansummerton2577 thank you Dean, appreciate your comments as always 😃😃 ofcourse more to come ! But right now, I'm enjoying a cooling off week, before we go again

​@@RunThePlanetyou deserve it mate. Rest well

@@kennyosborne5835 thanks Kenny for your experience. I think carb loading could be good but in a race it takes too long to absorb, at least into my body 😂

@@kennyosborne5835 thanks Kenny 😄 I have a marathon booked I let you know very soon. Sorry to keep you waiting. Frankfurt finishes in a nightclub 😯😯 Not sure I could cope with that, I'd be looking for a shower after at least 😆 but happy if you like it, go get it. What time are you planning on running ?

@@RunThePlanet it’s a big building arena type thing with music. You get a feel for it on RUclips. There are showers there too so I think it’s pretty well set up. I want a PB. Will see how the next 8 weeks go. 2:42 maybe.

@@RunFreeandStrong thanks Reto 😃 100 miler, sounds like torture but such a big challenge, it will be rewarding for you for sure !

@@RunFreeandStrong thanks Reto haha, it would be great if haribo sponsored an event, I'd run it 😃

@@tworunningbrooms thanks for that 😃 Im sure taking enough haribo often enough the body could adapt 🙄 Yes Ive been thinking about some carbing and carb loading methods. I saw Will (WU) do some carb loading for MCR which looked to work a treat. Ive seen you talk about the OTE stuff too which I should give a try. Forgot to mention in the video I was using the marten drink 160 too, not sure how that compares to OTE. I'd also love to see you and other RUclipsrs trying out the haribo "gels" 😂 you need a jaw like hulk !

@@jamesdavidson4686 thank you for sharing that race schedule James 😀 I never thought about the Budapest marathon, fantastic and good luck 🤞 Is it a fast course do you think ?

@@lorrainecowan7288 youre up to 20 miles for your long run? That's fantastic 😃😃 sounds like your in good shape with a month or so left to go ! It's a cracking race Chester isn't it !! I'll go back there one day 😁

@@RunThePlanet thank you good luck with yours

@@kirstycollins945 That sounds like a good one, PR on the cards for you I think 😀😀

​@RunThePlanet I'd love one but after yesterday's run I'm not sure I have the speed yet.

@@kirstycollins945 you'll be surprised how fast Manchester is 🏃🏃🏃

@@kevinscott4938 how are you Kevin ? hope your runnings going well 😃 haha yes we can all get behind a haribo run, I'd love them to sponsor a race somewhere, and ofcourse provide the in race fueling 😂😂 Oh yes lucozade sports beans, might be worth a try, seems they only sell in boxes of 24 or so

@@RunThePlanet check out start fitness, and just search for jelly belly and you'll find a smaller selection if the ones I'm talking about.

@@tworunningbrooms it's tempting but I don't want to put anymore miles in them 😂 a 10k and 40k run so far. That first 100km is precious. I'm not buying another pair of these 😂 (he says) so I'll have to make a call based on this I think. The GNR would be tricky with the hills, maybe I'd get close to the 90 mins but if I didn't break it it would be a waste of the shoes life I feel, particularly because my best chance is in Manchester in October.

@@kennyosborne5835 no probs Kenny, you were flying !! Alphas, Maybe so they'll definitely get something, great to hold pace when legs are tired at the end. Some marathon or half somewhere I'm sure 😃😃 😃😃 end of the month I'll let you know

Thanks Reto, thats a good point. Since they (carbon plates) arrived, shortly after people started raising concerns and reporting injuries. In short I think you should try carbon on the track. For me its never been a problem, but I use the vaporfly mainly which are so soft, they are very accommodating, they are narrow at the front (the 2 more that the 3 though) and soft so allow me to run more on the outside (ive done alot of work to reduce my pronation by ankle strengthening (although its not major pronation I have). I also use a foot roller after every workout (picked it up from Seth DeMoor), and stretch and foam roll the calfs after ever workout, I think that helps (never has plantar fasciitis, though may have come close once or twice), I think this is why I avoided it. So I basically use older vaporfly for my long slow runs (25-40k runs), more comfortable and forgiving so the recovery is much quicker. Shoe life is good, I'lll get 1000km (600miles) easy though not so fast later on. The carbon effect is almost gone by 700-800km. For up to around 20km, if easy then I use anything older - ZoomFly3, DeviateNitro, Endorphins (all carbon). For up to 20k workouts I'll still use vaporflys (sometimes the Endorphin's). For track workouts I also have a pair of Dragonfly spikes but they are too small (watched a review that said go half size down), turns out as I like a tight fit I was essentially already half size down, often I can only get through half a workout in them 🤣 but im interested to try them again with recent my track gains and see how then compare. My slow runs tend to be that slow, that probably doesn't matter what I use and definitely no benefit from the carbon but also no risk I think, but I seem to have quite a few old carbon shoes. Maybe I should make a video on this thanks 😀 (why I use vaporfly for basically everything 🤣

@@RunThePlanet Thanks Matt for the comprehensive insights. Much appreciated and valued coming from an experience runner! Yes, I think this would be a great video because I imagine many are thinking about incorporating carbon shoes in training and racing, but the injury concern and determining the balance of carbon vs. other trainers would be very useful. Thanks again.

@@paulcollins1098 Thanks Paul 😃 yeah glad they are good considering the price 😬

@@chotto0722 さん、ありがとうございます、本当に楽しかったです😃😃😃

@@RunThePlanet さん　3時間40分！早いですね！！お疲れ様でした(*´ω｀*)

@@chotto0722しんせつですね！ありがとう！ あのレースはめちゃめちゃすぶらしい😃😃

@@deansummerton2577 thank you Dean 😄 coming along nicely, I'm really happy with it, and it's making my long runs at MGP feel gradually easier - magic !! 🪄🪄

@@tworunningbrooms it'll be tough to do 90 at the GNR but if the weather's good I might give it a go 🤔

Yeah thanks Paul ! Yeah the track is good, a bit sheltered (still gets the wind), a cafe, toilet, and a medical centre if it all goes really wrong 🤣 Defibrillator on trackside too !!

@@stevierunner thanks Steve, and your so close to the sub 90, well done with that ! Mind if I got that close I'd be happy with and maybe settle there and pick up it up when the sub3 marathon comes (if it ever does 😂 )

@@kennyosborne5835 thanks Kenny, its not really been that hard to get to 3 minutes a rep. Happy with it and will just keep it going, and have a think about what I want to do on the track but I'm ahead on that side of the training so it's good. And yeeessss always a marathon on the horizon, they are all getting hard to enter now seems everyone's a runner now but that's a good thing 😃

@@RunFreeandStrong thanks Reto, just depends on the conditions, it's a tough course to run 90 at GNR, but we'll see 😃

thanks gissie391, yeah it's way less crowded and reminds me of the 2021 GNR (was it) where it was changed to an out and back course. Thanks for watching, are you training for something ? GNR ?

@@gissie391 I don't know that word but if it's something to do with the blood I guess it would. When I had COVID for the first time my vo2 dropped 2 points in 10 days 😯 just on my watch though, not scientific I know 😃

@@kennyosborne5835 thanks Kenny, your paces are lightening and yes the pace is much easier in race trim 😁

@@tworunningbrooms yeah might have been, should have worn white too. Was a hot day 😂 🔥🥵

@@paulcollins1098 thanks Paul, haha no no I won't be dying my hair, at this age peroxides and the like will probably make me bald ! Yes Quaysides looking really nice this time of year.

@@RunFreeandStrong thanks Reto, yes just got to get through august and maybe a little bit of September and it should be nicer temps. Still progressing even in the heat so I can't complain at all 😀😀

@@deansummerton2577 thanks Dean, yeah hope to bump into you again 😀 good luck for both of you for GNR ! Good luck for Yorkshire too, first marathon is it ? Looking forward to seeing how you get on.

Thank you Matt. It will be Marathon no.6 for me and I'm going for a PB.

@@deansummerton2577 ah brilliant, 6th marathon 😯😯 I didn't know, or forgot if you told me sorry, but great, time for a new pb then 😃 !!

@@RunFreeandStrong thanks Reto 😃 much appreciated. Wen have the full GNR half marathon on 1st sept. There are runners from all over the world coming too, rather popular.

@@JaianshSharma-f9c you could for long runs if you can handle the distance without getting injured.

@@RunThePlanet thankyou so much for your assistance ✨

@@JaianshSharma-f9c your welcome 😃 good luck with your running, sounds like your building up your distance 💪💪

@@JaianshSharma-f9c I think it's a personal thing whether you get injured easy or not. After 1000km I haven't used them all the time, like maybe once a week or once a month now.

@@conradburdekin7638 😂😂 thanks Conrad, but you never know in a race situation, the adrenaline and drafting off other runners 😯😯 who knows !

@@LeszekDeska thanks Leszek 😃 yeah heat got to me really quick. Maybe a little quick out the blocks for the first one too 😁 Dublin's not on my list for September but fantastic your running that one. Really hope you do well and best of luck. Valencia will be amazing, I'm sure you'll show us how it's done 👍

@@kennyosborne5835 thanks Kenny was a funny day at the track. Great to hear your winter marathon is almost sorted 😃

@@johanpauly3154 thanks Johan 😃 yeah it was a great marathon, glad I did it and I will go back someday. I want to do better there next time 😁 Hope your training goes well and wish you a good race !

@@RunFreeandStrong thanks Reto, a come back 😁 sub3 is coming soon I hope !

@@tworunningbrooms I know 😂 happy with it, some reps the wind had me, others I didnt get it. Heat was the killer though. Well my PR on Strava for a half mile is 2:38 from the GNR last year I think, downhill part probably though. So maybe that's about right on flat knowing there's nothing more to do after that. I've been meaning to try an 800 PR attempt at some point.

@@deansummerton2577 thanks Dean 😄😄 One of those days where you go for broke, expect to loose, but win 😄 couldn't have been better. See you at the GNR this year ?

@@PoetWithPace yeah thanks Donato, please to meet you 😃😃 you didn't do too bad at all, kept seeing you at the turn around points. Might be harder to find you at the GNR, but I'll keep my eyes peeled 🧐
