Sarah beat me 2023, I got back during this spring with a 2 min PB lead, now she has a new fast goal that I absolutely need to work out of my body to match, next marathon will be Stockholm May 31 2025, goal will be keep up with Sarah
Between Kipchoge and Assifa, somewhere between Tokyo and Valencia, there's only 3 minutes between the two. Why Sarah? Tell us nothing, or I'm afraid Assifa really does beat the Indonesian guy ❓ I'm so scared, why The RUN? Leave me alone please... (whispering) Dear God, what happens to my world!?
I'm currently training for the Berlin Marathon. My second marathon ever, and first one that I decided to tackle with a training plan. Hoping to break 3:50🤞
This year after year of focused training and roughly 1200 miles I went from a 4h53 to a 4h13 and the race felt so much shorter and faster. San Diego RnR has this long back stretch (mile 16) which ends with a 500 feet hill at mile 23 which is tough both mentally and physically but when conquered it is cruising to the finish line. This year was the first time I realized that at the last 2 miles the half and the full merge and I saw half marathoners finishing after me doing a full.
I run my first and only marathon last October, PB guaranteed, 3:19:55, sub 3:20 was the goal. I won't try it ever again. It's not healthy for my 38 years old body.
@@roymatthews2832 I am still injured from my marathon training 10 months ago. I did everything right but I am still getting injuries. My 5k pace is under 20 mins and My easy pace is 10 min per mile, which is much slower than other runners with my fitness. I warm up and cool down, dynamic stretching etc. it doesn’t matter. For regular people looking to get fit, running 80K a week isn’t healthy at all. Now I still exercise around 11 hours per week, but I split my time between basketball, running, swimming and cycling. Much better for my body.
Thanks for this. I'm halfway into training for the Burgess Marathon on 28th September at Burgess park and I'm going to set a personal best. However currently my 'why' is really being tested 😃 I'm looking to the running channel to carry me through
I'm training for Berlin marathon. I was training to break 3:40, but had to take 3 weeks off and do exclusively cross training to recover from plantar fasciitis. So now back to training and readjusting my goals.
I'm just getting started with training for my second marathon, Frankfurt at the end of October. I really need to include some strength work, something which was lacking completely from my training for Berlin last year. I hope to get under 4.30 this time.
Thank you Sarah, this will be my 5th. I'm struggling with an unknown illness affecting my legs so I have to do more strength training and endurance training. I will put the speed training at rest until next year. Thank you for the awesome advice. 😊
Currently training for a sub 3.30 at Chester marathon in October which will be my 8th marathon - fastest is 3.37 which I ran at Leeds marathon this year. I’m using Runners World sub 3.30 plan which I really like. Thanks for the tips!
Great video! You could also add sleeping enough to recover quicker and have more energy. During marathon training I need at least 9 hours if not I feel a bit fatigued during the day and feel that my body doesn't recover to the fullest
Great tips! I’m preparing to start training for my 13th marathon in December and would love to go under 3:40, but I know that everything needs to go perfectly in my preparation for this to happen, so I’m equally going to be kind to myself and rethink the goal if injury or illness strike. Looking forward to seeing the TRC team in Malaga!
I did the Edinburgh Marathon in 2022. I was disappointed, I did the training and felt quite confident and comfortable about doing, but on the day I hit a wall at 18 miles, it started to get really warm, I’m not sure if it was dehydration, I was taking on water to the point where I felt rough so not sure if I overdid it with the water. I said never again. I was 61 years old back then, next year I’ll be 64. But I’m thinking of doing the Loch Ness Marathon in 2025. I’ve been doing a half marathon a month for the last 4 months. I don’t claim to be fast, my times are around 2 hrs 15 minutes, ironically when I was running back in my 30’s my half marathon times were also around 2 hours 15 mins. Running better now than back then. So hopefully do better next year and it’s cooler at that time of year.
I would say hitting the wall is more likely a lack of fuel rather than water. Or your heart rate may have been too high too early and built up lactic acid? Good luck in your next one 👍
I am currently training for my first half marathon in October. I train four times a week with my Garmin watch. The goal is to finish in under two hours, but I have no idea if that’s too ambitious. I’m slowly working my way up; the runs are getting longer and tougher. Despite that, I have no idea how it will be to stay physically and mentally fit over such a long distance to reach the finish line. Thank you for the great and informative video.
I ran marathon distance last week for fun. Just see if I could. I now have a target as I struggle to estimate how long it would take. My previous longest distance was 28k. Now I have a target time. Although I’ll run the next one on trails!😁
2025 I will be running the Rob Burrow Leeds Marathon for the third time. It's the only marathon I have ever run. First time I trained, just did as much running as I could, followed a structured plan for the last 8 weeks or so. Second time I entered last minute and didn't train much at all. This time I'd like to be smarter and this video feels like a really good starting point so will refer back to it. I'm currently working on foot strength as I've realised this has been a consistent weakness for me since I started running. Will also look to incorporate speed work in my training plan, as suggested, as I've never done it and suspect I would benefit.
@@jamesdrury6627 yes Leeds was amazing this year and last year, the crowds were brilliant, going through Otley felt more like flying than running! In many ways I enjoyed it more this year because I hadn't trained, wasn't expecting much, and took in more of the scenery. Felt like a fraud in some ways, and it hurt but I got there! I don't think there's ever been an event of that scale to specifically support people with MND, in the name of someone who had MND, and it meant a lot to me to be part of that and show support by being there.
Ive got a place in next years London Marathon which i am so excited about, although very recently i have been struck down with illness so training hasn't fully started yet. Im hoping to break the sub 4 hour mark - unrealistic? Maybe...Optimistic? Absolutely! Useful video and helpful tips - thanks!
Marathon #18 will be Auckland in November (with a few 'undulations' in first half) - I'm hoping to get back under 3:30 after missing by 26 seconds on Gold Coast last month..... and then London 2025 will see me aim faster on the flat course... Time to get back into BQ form for the first time in 8 years!!!! Good list in this video though!!! - don't underestmate the power of getting the psychology right and practicing how its gonna feel and what you're going to think in those last 10k. Cant wait to see where and when you'll run next Sarah and how fast you'll go. I'm convinced you can go a LOT quicker than 3:40 based on the training you do - but maybe don't put so much pressure on yourself with the TRC workload like you did in London this year!
Got a marathon this weekend coming. I do one every five years. Hmmm, maybe i should've planned more. I just added 10minutes to my long run on monday and ran an ultra (30kms plus) long run when I had a spare weekend. I hope it's enough to get a pb (aiming for 3:45 or better)
@@runningchannel Training for a marathon takes a lot of time. I prefer ten KMs, don't have to spend so much time running slow runs at 4 o'clock in the morning.
I’ve never ran a marathon, I’d like to run my first one and Boston qualify. I lack a base so I’ve been running 5 and 10k’s. Just got my first sub 20 minute 5k last Saturday at Parkrun at 49. I’m hoping next year I’ll be fit enough for a marathon.
Do you have any videos on foam rolling? When am I supposed to do that? Before runs? After? All runs of just long/hard ones? Or is it on rest days? What’s it’s supposed to achieve exactly?
@@runningchannel My stupid hip again. I suspect intervals is the cause. X-rays show nothing. Weak glutes/hamstrings perhaps. So frustrating. But I will try what worked last time. I can not say in words how important it was to have the Running Channel for inspiration during the past years. I owe you guys a lot .
Signed up for my first marathon in December. Love all the information but I am going to be trying to do this with a diet less than 20 grams of carbs per day. Trying to figure out a good strength plan for me to help with increasing my speed.
I'm currently training for the Berlin Marathon in September. My current PB is 3 h 8 min. I'm looking for a new PB under 3 h and if possible under 2 h 55 min. I'm changing a bit of my nutrition this time since I had stomach problems during my last marathon.
I got Monschau Marathon coming up next Sunday. Its a small Marathon close to my home town where most of the course is in the nature, but it has close to 800 meters of elevation. I would love to get under 4 hours there, but it will be a difficult task. Wish me luck, especially with the weather!
I feel really well prepaired having run about to 36k in training and testing my nutrition plan for it multiple times, both without any issues. I also did a lot of runs on hillier courses. Now there is not much more to do than just wait for the day to come and go for 2-3 slow runs this week.
Update: I smashed my goal finishing under 3:50 with the second half (although a bit easier elevation wise) being over 7 mins faster. But what surprised me even more was that on the next day i had no cramps or other issues at all and i was back on my feet running 15k the day after!
Thanks for the video. I’ve been thinking of downloading the Runna app. But I have poor reading eyesight and can’t see a watch when running so wondered how good the audio cues are - is it a voice that tells you what to do and if you are going wrong, such too fast.
Always leave 10-15% in the tank when racing. The idea is to enjoy a pleasantly challenging, suffering-like experience, not to ACTUALLY suffer! Plus, if you absolutely know you could have run faster, you will feel more confident and relaxed about getting a new PB in the next one P.S. If you absolutely must suffer, do it during training. The race is a reward, like a dessert after eating your training vegetables. Not a crucible! P.P.S. I recommend not suffering in training either, though. There is just no need! You don't need to suffer to make progress unless you care a great deal about the speed of that progress, and there is rarely a good reason to care about that.
Sarah’s massively missing a trick, if you want a fast time in a marathon you’ve got to “forget to turn your watch on”, make sure you “take a rest break” mid run and fold your Bib number in half! You’ll see the minutes fall right off! ….in my opinion….
Just come back from doing the San Francisco marathon, and it has taken me over a week to get back to feeling normal again. However I am not sure when to start running again as the last 6-8 miles were really hard due to the heat and the hills. Should I wait another couple of weeks before I go back to running?
Starts out stating that no heavy lifting is required... continues to promote gym work... yeye Sarah, we see, what you're doing! ;-) Looking into Berlin Marathon next year as my first.

I have run a few half marathons this year, I cannot imagine crossing the 13.1 mile marker and having to run another 13.1 miles. Brutal.
