Not taking it away from this man and the effort. But how do you think majority of the people do this? There are a lot of people out there achieving many personal milestones and happy not publishing it on social media. Like I said I take nothing away from his effort, hope he runs many many more.
Kirstie Moore Exactly, life always has some challenges on the way. But I love how he approached his injury with curiosity and a positive outlook on how to become even better. Like the stoics say The obstacle is the way!💪
Charisma he did and was clearly already able to run a respectable distance. But having run one, I still think 60 days of training, even if already a casual runner, is pretty impressive.
It's worth it Krista! Download a running app to help keep you going. Set a goal for yourself! It may not be in 60 days, or even a year, but when you get to participate in these races where everyone is cheering you on there is no better feeling.
I recommend setting 5K as a goal first, and then 10K. Then a half-marathon. Slow is better than too quick and prevents injuries! And do some runner specific strength training 1-2 times a week, because that prevents injuries as well.
I couldn't imagine finishing a marathon as Spiderman. At the end of the year I want to achieve a qualifying time for Boston. Good luck on your journey. If you need some tipps or tricks feel free to say hi on my IG :D - herodna
Fantastic job brother - the struggle with injury, the agony in the last 5 km, even the place where you ran it made me nostalgic for my first marathon from last June. So cool :)
I've always admired people that run marathons. I am an athlete and I never tried it. After 5 km I get super bored and tired. I can't even imagine going 8 times more.
I'm training for my first half and the boredom is a real struggle but like you usually play team sports. Have just organised someone to run with so hoping that will help
The difference between half and full is enormous. You never know how different until you do it. Training for my first and only marathon, I regularly ran 13 or more miles. But completing the full 26.2 is something else.
5 km to go, body cramping, legs ruined to shiite, pain with every step and your mind begging you to quit...that is when you find yourself and discover who you are and what you're made out of. Respect to you my friend.
From someone who runs 100km (60 miles) a week, get off the concrete! Your legs will love you for it. I got a stress fracture 3 weeks out from my first marathon making the same mistake and came back a year later with better training to run 2 hours 39 mins
I live in the city, though there is a beach. How about running in the sand for training? And there is a mountain with some dirt trails, but it is pretty up and down. Which is better: on concrete flat or on a dirt trail on a mountain with lots of up and down? Thanks!
@@mike2207 A track is already softer than concrete (unless, you know, the track is made of concrete). But the best way is to run on trails. And you typically get hill training as a bonus!
Be smart with this video. The takeaway advice (that is not given by the way) is : take the time your body need to adapt (certainly not 6 weeks for a marathon). Everybody want to have instantly what they want (modern life). Just take the time, enjoy the process, listen your body and adapt. And in the big picture you will gain time. Because you will be less likely to be injured ;)
I really enjoyed the video! I did my 1st marathon when I was 42yo, now my next big challenge is to be set: 50km with 50yo. Congrats for your dedication and thank you to share the pain and suffer with us.
i ran a marathon with 7 training runs. 1 run a week for 7 weeks. I hadn't even run a 5k race before and jumped straight into the marathon distance, i thought i was going to die near the end but i finished in 4hrs 40 that was 4 years ago. Now i am going for 3hrs15 in London Marathon this year :)

I was training for a marathon (I'm definitely not a runner), eating clean and working out. Lost 60 lbs during the 8 months of training, started fasting because I wanted to lose a bit more before the marathon anddddd I got really sick. Went to the doctor was physically drained and was told to eat more. So I ate and ran and got better, the time was getting SOOOOO good and the distances kept growing but something was off. My body inside had this weird pain inside that came when I was at my most relaxed. Well, 1000 miles later and 70 lbs lost, I'm pregnant! So it's been seven months since finding out and I'm still running every other day but the marathon is on hold. Maybe a half after I give birth?
At least you trained for it. I'm honestly a bit annoyed by the videos popping up all over RUclips of people attempting to run a marathon or Iron Man without any training. They seem to take it as a joke when running isn't a joke. Runners are athletes who put a lot of physical and mental energy into their training, and sacrifice countless of hours and much soreness to get to where they want to be. I, myself, am a runner and consider myself an athlete, and as a runner I understand how much I have to sacrifice to get to where I want to be, and I have high respect for this sport and my fellow runners.
Danique Tersmette if you’re aiming for a good time that’s fine, but you don’t need to gate keep. There’s a reason those video makers find it funny, because they know it triggers the self-important runners who barely finish ahead of them.
For me it's always a hip issue. It sucks when you put in all that training and you have to delay. Great job, man! I think it'd be much harder to run that far without a crowd around you.
Matthew Thompson I know exactly what you mean I had Wilfred for state in all my events except the 2 mile in track and then I injured my hip really bad and had to stop it’s been a year now and I am still recovering and I miss running and always feel so sad when I hear about other people being injured and a their hard work being put to waste makes me really sad 😔
I've been running for a couple years now. Went from zero (and I mean zero, no ancillary working out either) to a half marathon at month 11. It was a lot. So much, in fact, that I developed ITBS a week later and spent most of the next 3 months not running. Which is why when I saw "marathon with 60 days of training" I thought, "this dude is going to hurt himself." The 8 week recovery seemed about right since that will allow strains, shin splints, and stress fractures enough time to heal. Hard to say what you had without an MRI, but clearly the resting worked. I've spent nearly either resting from two separate bouts of shin splints and the slowly grinding mileage back up by 10% a week. It's extremely frustrating, especially since the rest of you is fine. Glad to see the finish. It's too bad nearly all of the races since March have been virtual since the race atmosphere is very unique and it evokes all sorts of unexpected emotions. I nearly cried after my first 5K race and the first half. I also get butterflies in my stomach when approaching the end of every race, but never during the training runs. It's amazing, and I hope you (and all of us) get to enjoy it again in the near future.
I'm going to run my first half marathon in a few months. I love seeing you guys do stuff like this, because I know if I train right that I can do it too! Hope your leg heals up and you can get back out there :)
One way I transitioned into shorter strides way easier was looking at my shadow on easy runs and trying to keep my head on a even path with no bounce. It really helps with stress on the body and speed .
I trust that you have listened to the Two Gomers podcast. It’s the funniest thing about two guys trying running. They go off on tangents about their families and movies.
First thought about the title... this isnt healthy... second, carbs carbs dont forget the proteïns.... then i was thinking your running and running. But where does the strenght training comes in... ok your really doing good with cardio. But its the hole package... then first injury.... fysio gives you strenght exercises great! Its a really nice goal and a really good video. But i hope people dont take this as an example, because this is to much to fast. A body becomes stronger over time and we can run and lift and al of that other stuff. But we always forget the stress and recovery for our nervous system.... But congrats! You did great! Now take a step back and keep going getting stronger 😃😉👍
Congrats to your first marathon. You surprised me though when you said that you felt a big difference between 21 and 42 km, personally I always felt that when i'm able to run 21 I can run forever. I competed in ultra many years ago and have not ran since 2007, will pick it up this summer again, I'll keep what you said in mind and see if I this time can feel much of a difference between half/full.
Pro tip. Carb loading only works if you do it for at least a week before hand. Of course there’s nothing wrong with having a lot of pasta the day before a race but it’s not helping you build up your carb and glycogen storage.
Pheidipides actually ran from Athens to Sparta (150miles) in 2 days... and then back. Every year there is a run from Athens to Sparta called the Spartathlon
Now that you have run a marathon, let me introduce you to the crazy fun world of ultra running - where a marathon is your long run :-) Well done on toughing it out and making the distance. No matter who you are, it's never easy. So you did really well.
As always, one GREAT VIDEO. One thing i miss from this video is any explanation of how you setup your running routine, what principles it involved or if you got it made from some specialist.
4 года назад+1
I dont like to see anyone strugle but I am happy to watch something that feels more realistic for someone who is not a runner
A real marathon would have been nice. I have trust issue with RUclipsrs. At least with a real event, we would trust it's not video magic and you really did the distance.
Big well done & an awesom job! You could easily easily get under 4 hours! Substitute a run for a strength based bike session, add in a 20min body weight/gym/pilates strength routine 2x per week and see your physio once a month religiously!!
@@maazz111 No, he said with little training he was close to running a half marathon distance, so he wanted a harder challenge and went for full marathon distance.
So many people think a marathon is just double the half, which it is in distance, but not on what it does to your body. I can jump in and run a half marathon anytime with my normal mileage base but a full? That's another kind of beast. It usually takes people double the time of their half plus 30 minutes to finish it and your body is so beat from pounding the pavement. I've only done 3 of them and they kick my butt each time.
Actually, ice baths should only be used during race week, not as part of training because it constricts your blood vessels. If you want to promote healing and reduce injury, you should take a hot bath. Heat expands the vessels which allows blood to flow more efficiently which promotes healing quicker.
_aliem2 I think the way it works is that running on the forefoot actually works and stretches the muscle, while heel running just jars and shocks it. Something like that
I was thinking the same thing. Should’ve asked the physio about forefoot running with a calf strain. I was worried he had a DVT initially, but I’m sure they screened him for that.
Nicole Beck I know it’s the ideal gait pattern for running but a higher heel toe drop would put more stress on your anterior tibialis if anything right?
Yea two months is really not a lot of time especially if you have not been running. I'd recommend building your fitness level up and run some shorter races first before jumping into a full marathon. You don't want to tough it out and hurt joints and soft tissues pull things and be hurting for months because you pushed your body beyond what it was ready for. I have run a few half marathons and my prep for those is usually been about a month but I really should be training more. For a full I definitely would want to put in at least 4 to 6 months of decent training else I'd probably be jogging really slow the 2nd part of the race just to finish and could risk pulling something end up with an injury. I did a virtual half marathon during covid couple years ago by myself and I did not drink any water the whole time and I didn't eat for about a day either before I ran it and I finished around 2hr 25min. I think half my half marathons I probably only slept about 5-6 hours before the race. my usual pace is around 10 min mile or so. I did train a few months once and that one i finished in 1hr 50min and felt better and stronger at the end so more training really makes it better for you.
As a distance runner for over 15 years that’s pretty impressive to run 26.2 miles with little training in 4:09! A little dumb but still impressive 😀. I think if you had worn a shoe with more cushion such as Hokas it would helped your foot pain tremendously.
I don't know whether to give this video a 'thumbs up' or a 'thumbs down'. I would give this a 'thumbs up' for bravery but a I would also give this a 'thumbs down' for inadequate preparation.
Thank you! Umm, not sure how or where to upload it, but the structure of my training is laid out at 1:12 If you have any other questions message me on instagram @goalguysinsta
If you run 20k first week you absolutely can do this distance twice in 2 month. It would be other thing if you'd be a comple novice, but a person who can run 20k isn't a novice. Most people need long months of training to be able to run this distance. My point is that the title is partialy clickbait, cause most people would expect that this didn't run before, but he surely did. Anyway, thanks for the video.
Great work man, all the best for your future runs. Just a quick question since I'll be doing long runs (25k+) myself shortly...how do you keep yourself hydrated? I was thinking of getting a hydration vest as a fix...thoughts or feedback? Thanks!
Goal Guys thanks for the reply, a belt in my case prolly won’t work as I’m looking to run distances upto 30k+...anyway after looking into it, a small vest would make more in my case :)
Hi mate, I study sports science at uni and the research shows static stretching has no benefit, if your left leg is hurting, stretching alot will make it worse! I know from experience
Pheidippides didn't run "a marathon and then died". He ran round trip between Athens and Sparta, then roundtrip between Athens and Marathon. So, closer to *14* (!) . en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pheidippides www.runnersworld.com/runners-stories/a20836761/the-real-pheidippides-story/
I ran a full marathon with little to no training. It was such a bad idea. I originally signed up to work on procrastination but I never started running like I said I would. I still finished to race in under 5 hours with no injuries but I was one of the lucky few to do that.

Last year I went from not being able to run one mile to running a marathon 10 months later, and I thought that was ambitious. 60 days?! 🤯

Wally Gee yeah. I was starting from zero. Generally fit but zero cardio endurance.

Its a really nice goal and a really good video. But i hope people dont take this as an example, because this is to much to fast. A body becomes stronger over time and we can run and lift and al of that other stuff. But we always forget the stress and recovery for our nervous system....
But congrats! You did great! Now take a step back and keep going getting stronger 😃😉👍
Congrats to your first marathon.
You surprised me though when you said that you felt a big difference between 21 and 42 km, personally I always felt that when i'm able to run 21 I can run forever.
I competed in ultra many years ago and have not ran since 2007, will pick it up this summer again, I'll keep what you said in mind and see if I this time can feel much of a difference between half/full.
Thanks mate! Good on you for the ultra. Hope getting back into running goes well for ya!
Pro tip. Carb loading only works if you do it for at least a week before hand. Of course there’s nothing wrong with having a lot of pasta the day before a race but it’s not helping you build up your carb and glycogen storage.
I can relate.... especially to the part at 11:04 - 11:08
hahaha
10:48 I couldn't sit like this and stand up without help after my first marathon, I would completely cramp up
The soreness the day after was brutal.
How does this channel not have over a million subs cause they do more work and their channel is better than most Channels
Pheidipides actually ran from Athens to Sparta (150miles) in 2 days... and then back. Every year there is a run from Athens to Sparta called the Spartathlon
Good job, your progress is amazing!
Thank you!
Omg my eyes are watering. Congratulations
haha thank you!!
Holy sht them landscapes are BEAUTIFUL!!! Good job, man. Good job.
Thanks mate!
Now that you have run a marathon, let me introduce you to the crazy fun world of ultra running - where a marathon is your long run :-)
Well done on toughing it out and making the distance. No matter who you are, it's never easy.
So you did really well.
haha I'm going to try and get a few more marathon under my belt before I venture into ultra running!
As always, one GREAT VIDEO. One thing i miss from this video is any explanation of how you setup your running routine, what principles it involved or if you got it made from some specialist.
I dont like to see anyone strugle but I am happy to watch something that feels more realistic for someone who is not a runner
you guys always put real work into your videos not like ppl who just eat some dumb food for clicks..
Thanks mate!
Love the running shots, guys!
Thank you!
A real marathon would have been nice. I have trust issue with RUclipsrs. At least with a real event, we would trust it's not video magic and you really did the distance.
Big well done & an awesom job! You could easily easily get under 4 hours! Substitute a run for a strength based bike session, add in a 20min body weight/gym/pilates strength routine 2x per week and see your physio once a month religiously!!
This...strength work is good in general but critical as distance goes up. If your body can't take the beating...it will be rough.
Thank you!!
This is the running story right here, haha. Good job ,man.
Maybe an official marathon soon??? That would be cool to see how much you progressed!! Great work
Well edited video :D
This motivated me to get off the couch and exercise
That's awesome to hear mate!
Thanks for this video you inspire many people
Any normal person who go from zero to 70km per week is just begging to get himself injured.. just totally reckless...
wangshuishui2121 he didn’t go from zero. He mentioned he’s done half marathons before.
@@maazz111 No, he said with little training he was close to running a half marathon distance, so he wanted a harder challenge and went for full marathon distance.
Saagster in the end he says he ran half a marathon in under 2 hours with 5 weeks of training. He’s done it before
I was running casually for a while before this, but nothing intensive.
Ur far bro chill
Had me teary eyed @ the end wtf
lol that's awesome!
Be proud! Awesome job!
So many people think a marathon is just double the half, which it is in distance, but not on what it does to your body. I can jump in and run a half marathon anytime with my normal mileage base but a full? That's another kind of beast. It usually takes people double the time of their half plus 30 minutes to finish it and your body is so beat from pounding the pavement. I've only done 3 of them and they kick my butt each time.
Loved this video!
Thank you!
Actually, ice baths should only be used during race week, not as part of training because it constricts your blood vessels. If you want to promote healing and reduce injury, you should take a hot bath. Heat expands the vessels which allows blood to flow more efficiently which promotes healing quicker.
Presentation was top notch
Thank you!
Made me wanna run a marathon!
Do it buddy!
Doesn't running on the forefoot increase pressure on the calves? Did the running coach know about your calf strain?
_aliem2 I think the way it works is that running on the forefoot actually works and stretches the muscle, while heel running just jars and shocks it.
Something like that
I was thinking the same thing. Should’ve asked the physio about forefoot running with a calf strain. I was worried he had a DVT initially, but I’m sure they screened him for that.
Fore to midfoot strike is ideal. Too much heel to toe drop in a shoe can jack your calves up though.
Nicole Beck I know it’s the ideal gait pattern for running but a higher heel toe drop would put more stress on your anterior tibialis if anything right?
Yeah the trainer knew about my injury. I was aiming for a fore to midfoot strike with his coaching.
Yea two months is really not a lot of time especially if you have not been running. I'd recommend building your fitness level up and run some shorter races first before jumping into a full marathon. You don't want to tough it out and hurt joints and soft tissues pull things and be hurting for months because you pushed your body beyond what it was ready for. I have run a few half marathons and my prep for those is usually been about a month but I really should be training more. For a full I definitely would want to put in at least 4 to 6 months of decent training else I'd probably be jogging really slow the 2nd part of the race just to finish and could risk pulling something end up with an injury. I did a virtual half marathon during covid couple years ago by myself and I did not drink any water the whole time and I didn't eat for about a day either before I ran it and I finished around 2hr 25min. I think half my half marathons I probably only slept about 5-6 hours before the race. my usual pace is around 10 min mile or so. I did train a few months once and that one i finished in 1hr 50min and felt better and stronger at the end so more training really makes it better for you.
As a distance runner for over 15 years that’s pretty impressive to run 26.2 miles with little training in 4:09! A little dumb but still impressive 😀. I think if you had worn a shoe with more cushion such as Hokas it would helped your foot pain tremendously.
I don't know whether to give this video a 'thumbs up' or a 'thumbs down'. I would give this a 'thumbs up' for bravery but a I would also give this a 'thumbs down' for inadequate preparation.
What kind of fueling did you do mid-run? I didn’t even think about it until the end. Would be crazy if you did it all with no fuel.
What were your water and supplements points during the marathon? Salt tablets and caffeine tablets are good
Great time . 4 hours 9 mins. Did 22km this morning, I have a marathon in 8 weeks , I need to build up gently it seems . Thanks.
Great job!
Would you be able to upload a link to your training schedule? I've got a marathon coming up too and I'd like to pick your brain!
Thank you! Umm, not sure how or where to upload it, but the structure of my training is laid out at 1:12 If you have any other questions message me on instagram @goalguysinsta
Love you man
Would have liked to see how you did/recovered that following week. But great work!
If you run 20k first week you absolutely can do this distance twice in 2 month. It would be other thing if you'd be a comple novice, but a person who can run 20k isn't a novice. Most people need long months of training to be able to run this distance. My point is that the title is partialy clickbait, cause most people would expect that this didn't run before, but he surely did. Anyway, thanks for the video.
Great work man, all the best for your future runs. Just a quick question since I'll be doing long runs (25k+) myself shortly...how do you keep yourself hydrated? I was thinking of getting a hydration vest as a fix...thoughts or feedback? Thanks!
I know a few people that use a belt with water bottles on it. The routes that I run typically have fountains around that I use.
Goal Guys thanks for the reply, a belt in my case prolly won’t work as I’m looking to run distances upto 30k+...anyway after looking into it, a small vest would make more in my case :)
Hi mate, I study sports science at uni and the research shows static stretching has no benefit, if your left leg is hurting, stretching alot will make it worse! I know from experience
Pheidippides didn't run "a marathon and then died". He ran round trip between Athens and Sparta, then roundtrip between Athens and Marathon. So, closer to *14* (!) .

Awesome channel. You guys should do a challenge to row 2000m in under 7 minutes
As an experienced runner, I knew this was gonna turn out poorly by the end
Guid lad, well done, how long did you take?
I ran a full marathon with little to no training. It was such a bad idea. I originally signed up to work on procrastination but I never started running like I said I would. I still finished to race in under 5 hours with no injuries but I was one of the lucky few to do that.
hahaha bold move my guy.
You finished at the Yellow gate! Search Barkley Marathon and see that crazy race. They start and finish at a yellow gate.
Sounds cool!
1:13 Legend has it that on day 8 of the training plan this man was the first to ever run 12k at his 10k pace
To stop the bruising, every night put your leg in iced water (very cold) for 10 minutes then very quickly transfer it to hot water for 10 minutes.
