This is great! But so far in my experience running those 15-20mile long runs especially early in the morning, is like therapy to me. It's a time where I can just space off my mind and think about literally anything, but mostly, important things, a lot of self-realization. Also, every time I go for long runs I'm always thankful I get to run and experience all of this. I never find it boring plus, seeing myself improving each time is a huge reason why I keep going. It's a matter of mindset of being grateful that you are blessed enough that you can enjoy running as a hobby or career and see yourself improve and get healthier and stronger along the way.
I knew some running friends like you would be sharing how much they love the long run!!! That is awesome. For whatever reason I sort of have this mental block past 15-16...it just feels like a slog after that some days. But focusing on being grateful for what my body can do ALWAYS helps.
@@runningwithjane Tbh, I too, get that feeling past 15miles. Feels like your hitting a "wall", but that's where we get our mental toughness and we just have to keep banging on that wall. It does feel great after accomplishing it though. You feel like you can take on the world. lol
Hi Jane. Love all your wonderful advice as always! As a first time Boston qualifier, here's what has worked for me to get through the boring consistent training. 1} Music. I think of my runs as dancing but instead of dancing, I'm running. 20 mile runs are 2.5 hour dance off, lol. 2) See how I feel at the half way point of my run. I always start off slow in my warm up and ease into my run, evaluating how I feel at the halfway point. If I feel great, I let it ride. If I don't, I chill and save it for another day. 3) My mantra. My mantra is Breathe, Relax, Control, Smooth, Rhythm, and Boston Strong. I tell myself these things during my runs and during races. 4) Easy, Medium, Hard, then Rest Day (Supplemental training/Stretching/or complete rest). Both easy and medium days are done at an easy pace (Zone 2 or below). Hard days can either be longer runs, faster runs, or a combination of both. Always a nice break to mentally relax with a rest day after a hard day. 5) Run by Feel and Effort rather than by Time. I check in on my watch every once in a while during the run but focus hard on the Feel and Effort. I evaluate the time after I'm done with my run.
Love all the tips you shared, Peter! Agree that learning to run by feel and effort is so important - those who ran a strong Boston last Monday were probably much better at that because they were able to adjust to effort early on knowing the heat wasn't going to allow them to do the goal pace they had planned for.
Such a great video, Jane. I started running at age 49 (now 51) and am currently training for my second marathon. I needed to be reminded of these truths. Thank you so much.🙏🏻
Thanks for the kind words, Amber. Best of luck!! Marathon #2 is nice because you actually have a grasp of what to expect and you already know you can do it!! You got this!
This is why you’re an elite athlete, Jane! You go the extra mile. I am definitely motivated by you. I am putting the pieces together one by one. Watching this I decided my motto of “Olympics 2024!” has kinda a deep meaning: all that work and behind the scenes hours and hours that nobody sees or really cares about for that one event that you hope to succeed at. That is what it takes to rise above the rest. Actual hard work, dedication, prioritizing your goals and knowing that you can achieve anything you put the time and honest effort into. Having you as my Coach has paid off for me tenfold. You’ve taken a lot of the trial and error out of the equation and streamlined things to get the “fastest” results. Thank you, Jane! Olympics2024!!!
Elite athlete LOL.
Thank you so much for the kind words, Shane!! I LOVE having you as an athlete on the team because you're the poster child for what can happen when you keep showing up, do the work and believe in what's possible. Olympics 2024!!
I work second shift so I've been having trouble with consistency so I've started running at the gym afterwards. I know there won't be a time constraint and I won't feel rushed.
I'd add it to your day as if it was a meeting and make the commitment that nothing else gets in the way. Some people's schedule are certainly more conducive than others, but sounds like you have a time you know you can fit it in. You got this!
Thanks for the video! Great video! Working up my very easy milage now and overcoming IT band issues. But this is my big running goal to run BM eventually!
Love it! Keep showing up!
Thanks for the pep-talk. It's the first cold rainy day here. I decided already that it will be discipline over motivation. But, it helps to be reminded that it's the right way and not just my stubbornness.
You just gotta!! And yeah, the complaining about the heat doesn't take long to turn into complaining about the cold lolol. Discipline always wins. Great work, Ralph!!
That's what brought me to your channel and get me watching your great contents, you being a BQ. Love the little stories you tell, they're inspiring. This month marks my one year anniversary of running. I've been slowly building up to run a 50 - 70 mile / week for my marathon training from my previous 30 - 40 mile / week of training. I thought it was just me, but man it's so boring running those sessions. Glad you mentioned that in your video. Now I don't have to feel alone, lol.
Haha, nope, not just you. Awesome work bringing up that mileage - that's going to make a huge difference for you.
Coach Jane, excellent discussion re “hard” truths of marathon training. Your points accurately reflect my experience and I think they represent a much more realistic vision of what it takes to train seriously than what is generally presented in the media. Leading aspiring athletes to think marathon training is easy and nothing but fun may ultimately be counterproductive so thanks for the honesty. Great video, keep up the good work.
Thanks for watching, Dick. You're doing great' Staying the course and keeping consistent. It's not even close to an easy task!! Proud of all of your efforts and I know it's going to pay off!
This video was very inspiring for me. Thank you, Jane!
You're so welcome - thanks for watching and commenting!
I love watching your videos. You always inspire me to do better and reach higher.❤
Wow, Karli, thank you!! That means so much!
As always, great tips! Love the Orange Theory example. That really got me thinking about how to change up my routine. I am so guilty of doing the same things!
Hi Dee! Yes, there are certain things ingrained in us that we deem to be "normal" because it's what everyone else is doing. The truth is that most people are comfortable with the status quo, and that's totally ok...but when you start looking around at the people who are reaching big goals, you realize they are the ones going above and beyond. Thanks for watching and hope you have a great weekend!
I want to hit my 60 s as my golden years running marathons around the world ,,did 5 miles 42 mins ,,hopefully in 5 years time I’m under 4 hrs for marathon
Hi Bob - what a wonderful way to spend your 60s!!!
Hi crushing goals. 41 min 50 5 miler ,including 7/50 min mile fastest in my life but it was comfortable,definitely can c me getting 40 min 5 miler ,very happy with my improvements,,,I have been training low intensity 133 to 144 bpm on bike for month or so and low intensity swimming/. My times r way better ,tbf it’s brilliant for 55 yrs very happy going forward
Love this video!! Thanks for making this!
You're so welcome, Ty, thanks for watching!
Thanks Jane. Great advice.
You're so welcome, Craig, thanks for watching!
Great stuff as usual. I'm trying to get across to my young XC runners that it's about consistency and long-term (Freshman - Sophomore - Junior - Senior and beyond). I knew I was fit when I was completely bored on my long run even when running with my group. I certainly hope you have gotten some treatment and your foot is doing better. All the best.
Hi Tim - this is a tough concept for even adults...so I'm sure getting high schoolers to think beyond the instant gratification isn't easy. They are so lucky to have you! Foot is getting better - thank you!!
I learned most of the five steps, and I TOTALLY agree with step #1.) Unordinary coaches, bring extraordinary encouragement, and inspiration. YES, that's what I got out of this video. Every time I watch one of your videos Coach Jane, it inspires me, (and yeah) maybe it's "never" going to be a marathon with this "old guys' body" that keeps "not cooperating" with my brain, LOL. That's OK, I still find tips/training that have inspired me to be healthier/better than I would have been without your vids. I have NOT discounted running 10 miles at your pace though, some race, somewhere, hope to meet you and keep up for those 10 miles, I will consider that a WIN !!!
Aww thanks so much, Ken!! That I can inspire you to push yourself to be your best makes me so happy to hear.
Doing my first marathon next month in march in LA ! My comment for Boston is 2yrs - my goal this first marathon is to break 4hrs then hopefully run ones more this second more this year and do 3:45 it’s possible - thanks for all the info etc - I am a new sub -
You're so welcome! Best of luck to you and appreciate your support of the channel!
Another inspiring video, Jane! I am unsure as to whether or not I will run next April (for the first time in 10 years), as I only have a 5- minute cushion for qualifying and acceptance. Grrrr. Proof that weight lifting and speed work are essentials when it comes to training. I've always had to learn things the hard way! Thanks again for your uplifting words today.
Aw thanks so much for the kind words and for watching. I sure hope 5 min. will be enough and that you'll be in!!! Mine is only 6.5...def no guarantee...crossing my fingers for us both!
@@runningwithjane ...AND we're in!!! Hope you heard the news. Woot Woot!!!
@@teachingasfastasican5785 wahoo!!! So happy for you and all of the qualifiers!!!
Love this!
Glad it was helpful!
Good advice!💯
Thanks for watching!
Wow my best time is 4:49 too. That was from 7 years ago. Yesterday I finally broke 5 hours again. Most of my times are around 6 hours. Ran a 4:59:05. Still a long way from BQ, but running 150km a week has definitely helped.
HI Edwin - did you do Chicago? 150 kms per week is a lot and that is awesome - what do your runs look like week-to-week? Are you doing lots of easy running?
@@runningwithjane I did the Perth Marathon. I've basically been running a half marathon a day. All MAF or sub-MAF. Did no speedwork, didn't taper. Was part of a challenge I set myself. Gave me the confidence that maybe with some speedwork and a good taper I can take out my PR and maybe even push sub-4 next year.
Watching now as I am doing my 20 miler on the treadmill
Well that definitely falls into the categories of both doing the unordinary AND embracing the boring!! Was the weather bad where you're at? Great job getting it done no matter what, Suzie!!
@@runningwithjane the weather was very good but my stomach was very upset and I didn't want to have to find a porter potty or suffer because I couldn't find one
Congrats, u r absolutely right about how bad each runner wants
Thanks so much!
Great video! Agree 100%.
Thanks for watching, Nam!
Hi Jane! Thank you for these reminders. I’m on my own BQ journey and embrace any motivation I can get. I love the quote “Unordinary actions bring extraordinary results”. I’m thinking about using this in a bold way for a daily reminder. Do you know the name of the orange theory coach that said this so I can give some credit?
Hi Brent! That's awesome and best of luck you on qualifying! His name is Caleb - here in Colorado. It reminds me of the quote too that says, "Today I will do what others won't, so tomorrow I can do what others can't."
Im smack in the middle of chasing that goal to BQ. You know because you're coaching me. 😆. There are days that goal seems so far away and then those are those break through days where I get excited because I know it's achievable. I think to chase a goal like Boston you really have to enjoy running on some level. There are just too many hours spent doing those "boring slow runs" no to. I hope your foot is feeling better.
That's what it's all about...taking the highs with the lows. When you are in it for the long haul like we are, the doubts, the lows, the "bad" runs, the setbacks, etc. are all part of the process. Like you say, "If it was easy, everyone would do it." We keep pushing on even when it gets tough. Re the foot: working through it still with PT/podiatrist, but 12 miles yesterday and I feel optimistic!
Thanks for this, I needed it. Do you think you'll get a better time running a fast course that has a 5,000ft elevation drop at a higher elevation than you're use to like the Revel in Denver or a flatter course that is at an elevation your use to running? Training in Kansas.
Hi Damon - the REVEL courses are SO downhill that I really think you won't be very affected by the elevation. Most people get insane times on those no matter where they are coming from. Example - I had an athlete from Phoenix do on and he had no issues and got a huge PR.
Awesome!! Thanks so much for the knowledge
"Unordinary actions bring extraordinary results." -Orange Theory trainer. I like the quote. Tried googling it and came up with another one I like: "You don't need to have extraordinary effort to achieve extraordinary results. You just need to do the ordinary, everyday things exceptionally well," by Warren Buffett.
Sounds about right!! And when you practice a lot, you get REALLY GOOD at the everyday things! Thanks for watching, Tony!
