Marathon Training STARTS NOW! - Qualifying for Boston - s3e14

I am officially kicking off my 22 weeks of training for the Santa Rosa Marathon in August where I will attempt to qualify for the Boston marathon. I have four areas that I know I need to focus on in order to successfully make it to the starting line.

Today I talked about four things I plan to focus on during this training cycle for my marathon. Any other areas you think are important?

[@austinsmith4906]

Make sure you are enjoying the process!

[@chipgusler4515]

Enjoy and stick with quality miles.

[@mikeoutler618]

Attitude and perspective. You seem to have a great attitude and that’s makes all the difference. Stay healthy!

[@tahamaradias9470]

Mental Training....Visualization, etc :) Can you show us a day of your food? What protein do you take and electrolytes?

[@zanoonnuman6330]

mate never stop uploading videos! I get so inspired watching you smash your workouts. Love your content

[@dougrastatter4727]

Good luck Chris! I’m kinda like you ... I’ve done several Ironman races but now I’m more into becoming a better runner. Age 50 from Ohio. September 14th will be my 3rd Boston Marathon in as many years. It’s such a cool environment and race. It’s so worth the hard work. You got it!

[@gavsta18]

I much prefer this new and more frequent format. I think I enjoy watching your videos because of your structure in real life it very much resonates with me and definitely keeps me on track.

[@ezb9289]

I'm sure you will achieve all of your goals because you are so focused on your program. Best of luck from Vienna, Europe.

Liking the work on points!
I personally struggle with keeping my easy days easy too, so easy to get caught up with trying to maintain a decent pace!
I also don't do enough recovery, its so easy to just forget about it!
You will smash this Marathon!

good luck! I will be following, i have the NYC marathon in November (hopefully it doesn't get cancelled). Great motivation!

[@austinsmith4906]

My man getting it in! Just conducted a PT test with the brother in law trying to make the best of this quarantine.

[@lavishlawnsllc2300]

you should link up with nick bare he is doing the same thing right now attempting to qualify for Boston. keep up the good work!!

[@CjayeMedia]

I’ve been following. I think we are currently about the same speed.

[@bnjmn_k_wdcck]

I'm wondering why you ride the rails during the "off" segments instead of walking or jogging. Is this method in the plan or a personal choice?

[@CjayeMedia]

It really depends on the work out and the rest. For 30 seconds on 30 seconds off it’s hard to get the treadmill ramped up and down at the speeds I want. If I’m running a three minute on, one minute off I will ramp the treadmill up and down. When I ride the rails on the off portion it’s typically when I’m running between five and six minute mile pace.

[@bnjmn_k_wdcck]

@@CjayeMedia Thanks for taking to the time to respond. I understand what you're saying about the paces/speed of the treadmill and safety.
I am now wondering if you ever do these speed workouts outside. I know we are in an uncertain time at the moment, but I'm wondering about the approach to doing speed work assisted by a treadmill vs. doing it on your own outside. Is this a personal choice or part of the plan?
Hope you and your family are well. Looking forward to future videos.
