well done on that marathon. And yea, I'm pretty sure my race is also gonna be torture 🙂

thanks a lot 🙂

True, but this was mainly aimed at real beginners, runners just trying to finish a race. But you are right, for 10k or less, of course there is no problem with running that same distance in training.

Haha interesting approach, maybe ill try that too 😁

That's awesome, well done. And good idea to build up slowely and not rush to the marathon. You will enjoy it way more that way. Good luck and enjoy it

yes I am 😉 I live in the Czech Republic

thanks 🙂Yea that's also what I thought. But........ check out my Vienna race video to see how it went 😉 ruclips.net/video/078MeEGscuk/видео.htmlsi=HjfU0LKUh8vwBEo3

thanks man. yea that was fun 🙂

we all feel like that sometimes i guess. Yea I'll for sure start doing some strength stuff, cause the increase in salt intake didn't work, so have to try something else.

dis cool om deur die jaar op dieselfde plekke te hardloop en sien hoe dit verander

yea it's awesome that you can just freely run around castles here in CZ

yea i messed it up, and its such a stupid mistake, cause we all know that happens in a city with buildings. Lessons learnt. Yea I'm gonna have to start doing some strength stuff, it's time :-). There wasn't a 3h pace group, which is weird for a big marathon like that, so it was all up to me to hit the right paces, and I really struggled with that, couldn't catch some rhythm the whole day. Good luck with your sub3 again man, show me how it's done!!

@@vstarrunning I wouldn’t say that - running a bit conservatively in the first few kms/miles can work in your favour, but I guess there’s a tipping point. Yeah strength work could be the deal breaker - it’s something I’ve reluctantly introduced as I know it’s good for me (in running and in life!). I could definitely be stronger though… so we’ll see how I hold up! Yeah that is weird not to have a pacer - also difficult when you can’t find a rhythm. And thank you, I’ll give it my best shot!

Thanks :-) Yea so you know the feeling, frustrated to not get the job done, but still a PB, so we probably have to be happy with that. Great run, we will come back stronger!

that is what is frustrating, cause I thought that my gels and salt tabs plan was fine, but maybe the next marathon I'll go even harder on both. But we learn some lessons each race, come back stronger 🙂 Yea I always say that up to the half, running is fun, anything more than that is hard work with a lot of things that can go wrong. But, a bad day on the roads is better than a good day in the office ;-)

@@vstarrunning I run self supported and switch bottles at the half, but I take in over 4k mg of sodium. When I do Chicago this year, I have to totally redo my hydration/fueling strategy since my understanding is Chicago doesn't allow bringing in your own bottles to put into a vest. But potentially does allow for bottles in a running belt? Seems odd, but I suspect it's still a rule from the Boston bombing 10 years ago. If I get a bib for Boston 2025, I'll hopefully have my new hydration/fueling sorted out, because they don't allow vests at all.

Yea that is a lot of sodium, makes my plan look like a kid's party 🙂. I will see how it goes this time, and then see. I can easily go salt tablets more often, every 20/30 minutes. But I need to test that more and see how my body will react. The other option is to just run fast, get an elite entry, and then we can have our own bottles at all the aid stations 🙂🙂 But thanks for sharing, interesting to hear how other people approach their race and nutrition.

also a thing I need to focus on more, better food. But the biggest problem is having a kid from kindergarten in the house bringing home all kinds of mutated bugs 🙂

thanks man. Yea its hard, long work to get ready for that sub3. We'll both smash it ;-). I'll follow your journey too, good luck!

@@vstarrunningYeah it’s a long road… so all about enjoying the process! You look a bit further ahead than me - when is your marathon? I’ve been doing 65-72k weeks, but looking to step it up in the summer/autumn. And nice one, cheers!

@@nrg_runs I tried last year in Milan and did a 3:05. This year in Vienna middle of April, so just doing the last work now. But I only have 1 shot a year, as I focus more on the ultra trail stuff. So it's all or nothing 🙂 I read that your marathon is later in the year, so you still have a lot of time. And that fast half marathon time is a good sign, you can build from that nicely

Getting close, then! Fingers crossed for Vienna - although with the work you’re putting in it shouldn’t be down to luck 😊 Yeah the half marathon was very encouraging, and can build slowly from here. I am doing a trail marathon in May, mind 😅

Deep down, we are all the same 🙂

thanks man. Yea the stubborn part is good and bad sometimes 🙂

who needs fresh legs right 🙂

I don't, but I should. I tell myself every month that I should start doing it, but never get to it. It should be on the same day as the workout. Just so that you use the recovery/easy days for that, to recover. So in a perfect world, I would do the workout at 11am (my normal running time), and then the strength stuff at night.

haha 🙂 i mean honestly, who understands the imperial system right 🙂 thanks for the nice comment

@@vstarrunning *hem* definitely none of those imperial system users in these parts... (said the Americain) Do think the week should start on Monday though

Thanks for sharing. I must say, I really need that 1 full day of not running at all. Just to forget about running for a day at least. But that's the cool thing about running, we all approach it differently and there is no right or wrong. But, I can really improve on the self care part of my week, I say that every month, more stretching, more strength, etc, but never get to it. Good luck with your running too ;-)

Thanks man 🙂 Let's hope it is sooner, can't live with that monkey on my back for another year

I try to at least, just to mix it up and different shoes for different speeds and terrain. I actually filmed the different shoes and talked about them for this vid, but removed it cause it made it too long. Maybe a video on its own in the future 🤷🏾

@@vstarrunning yeah would be great for newbies like me

my running life is kinda ok, my normal life is not something that anybody should look at or listen to 🙂

hopefully we can do one again in the future together. This time without my daughter ;-)

@@vstarrunning yeah or I’ll join you for an ultra! How about rakovnic in May 😀

@@chrisspicer9484 that sounds good, even better on the trails. Let's talk and make something happen

the "runner" starts when you are outside, inside doesn't count.

See you tomorrow 👍🏻

It's a technical/sports material shirt bought from North Finder and Berghaus. Not a 100% cotton-going to church shirt, don't worry 🙂. I just wanna be a bit different that's all. But they are really comfortable.

@@vstarrunning And it worked! I love it! I think that is a good choice for hikes and trainings haha... :)

@@vstarrunning can you please link that to me im lost now i cant find it

Darm kan ek weghardloop vir die bra as hy my wil headlock of iets :-)

yea that was awesome. Trying everything I can to turn her into a runner 🙂

Another one is at 1:58 on the left!

Yea you guys are the highlight of the video to be honest

and you, another highlight :-)

was a good day :-)

yea it was rough to deal with the bad mood during the dark hours. But still a fun day :-)

i thank you johan
