    Ran my first marathon in 5:24. Not fast but I finished uninjured and drove myself back home. Training for my second either this fall or next year after a year long break. As a former overweight non-runner that started later in life that moonlights as an ICU nurse I think I’m doing ok. If I can do it I am confident that with persistence you can too.

    I tried to eat my usual dinner - a chicken and bean quesadilla - 14 hours before the race, so that I'd have plenty of time for it to, um, process. Nope - it decided to make an appearance two miles into the race. I lost ten minutes at a port-potty. But I hit my time goals, never hit the wall, and had a great first marathon!

    Pinching the cup is my favorite race tip from Sage! I ran my first marathon a few weeks ago, and at every aid station I was thinking "Wow this is such a genius move for getting all the water into me!"

    I watched this before falling asleep yesterday. Today i've officialy became a road marathoner, on a 550m vertical course in time of 4.18h..
    It was one of the most painful but also gratifying things in my life. I did it despite doing the classic bullettime 10k at 10k racepace and after that bonking and struggling with vert,distance and heat for the rest of the race while most passed me. But i still made it with quite a strong time for firstimer amateur with 1 year of running history under belt on such a course. Ive been training my ass off for this didnt have much bodily issues except the legs were killing me in last 10k. Thank you for immensely helping me with training Sage i learned alot from you.

    As a Brit I always chuckle when you use the word 'bonk'. Bonk is slang for having sex here. Quite frankly I'm amazed anyone has the drive to keep running a bunch of miles after bonking...

    I am at 16 mile long run at my training point right now. I try to get 8 miles a day 4 days a week and at least 10 miles on the 6th day. Mile 15-16 was excruciating. Maintained an 8 min/mile pace the entire way though :-) Never slowed down. I know I won't be able to keep that up for the full marathon, but I am sure it will help me finish my first and possibly finish before the 4 hour mark.

    Hi Sage. Thanks for sharing your insights with us. You've been hugely helpful to me, as I'm sure you've been for many others. I'm training for my second marathon, and I've spent the year thus far building my base prior to starting my training cycle in earnest. Any chance you might offer your thoughts on training in the summer and determining goal pace for a race that is mid to late fall given the likelihood that efforts will adjust with the changing temperatures?

    Honestly, I’ve probably watched this video three or four times as I’ve been training for my first marathon.
    Really amazing advice/thought process, even for “virtual marathons” these days because of COVID-19. Happy to say that despite missing my goal of 3 hours and 30 minutes (we ended at 3:34:42) I learned so much about my own personal limits and what lies beyond mile 20! Time for some rest now.

    I ran my first marathon in 5:30, I did not train for it but I ran a lot sometimes 7 to 8 miles. I must say after I finished I could not walk, I had to ride a bicycle home. I learned a lot that day and I would like to run a marathon in America at Pikes peak Colorado. I did get an IV fluid the night before for hydration and it helped yes Army life lol but the nutrition intake was totally ignored thank God at the last stand I got a granola bar or I would have passed out. Note: when I finished that marathon in 2018 I said I would never run another marathon again, but now I might reconsider it.

    Hi. I am Andrei from Romania and I love watching your work, is really amazing. In October a will run my first marathon and I am targeting a sub 3h 30 min. I run a 10k, half marathon and now it's time for something new. I have one question: how is the chip working? I mean if I am far back at the start line, the chip will start by the time I will cross the starting point? Or when the first elite runners start, from that will be the time will count? I am afraid not losing too much time at the start. Thank you and good luck in the next races!

    Video suggestion: What's your experience with treadmills? Do you hate them, do you love them? Do you own one? How do you use them and how do you suggest people should use one? I've read that it's a good tool for correcting one's form (stride length and cadence) and that it is a kind of cross training if you don't like swimming and biking.
