    In 2013, I started training for my first marathon at age 51, as a beginning runner. Ten years later, I've run 22 marathons including five Boston Marathons, and three ultras. If I can do it then anyone can because I was not a runner. Go Andy.

    My last long run before the actual marathon felt so much harder than the actual marathon. Crowds, fellow runners + taper are an incredible drug. You are going to do great in Valencia Andy!

    It’s really comforting I imagine for a lot of beginner or intermediate runners (speaking from experience) pushing themselves out of their comfort zone to see that even elite level runners like Andy still feel the same nerves and trepidation - thank you for your honesty in all this Andy

    Andy,
    You are going to complete that Valencia marathon!
    You are going to run the whole distance!
    You are ready!
    You are inspired and inspiring others!
    Go for it! Enjoy it! Love it!
    You are going to be so high when you complete it - it will be all worthwhile!
    My quick story - 58 years old - not a runners body - short legs and wide bodied guy. Currently 3 months into a Run to 10K program. I used to run all the time but just now getting back into it but slowly so as not to injure myself. Listening to my body, taking an extra day off when I need it. Warming up and cooling down properly. Loving it too - cannot wait to break that 10K barrier the used to be so easy when I was young. Patience and perseverance!
    Cannot wait to hear about your experience! Go get ‘em!!

  • @Panos_79

    I run my first marathon this spring at age 44 and I feel your pain, I still remember those long runs. The only thing I can tell you is that, when you run those chunks at marathon pace you will doubt yourself if you can keep this pace up for the whole race.
    And the answer is absolutely yes, after the taper and with the excitement of the race itself, you will do it, and it will feel amazing, you won't believe how good you'll feel.
    Best of luck Andy, you've put in the work, now go there, enjoy the race and get your result. I think a 2:51:25 time is about right for your first one.

    This is inspiring. It’s tempting to think that because Andy was a truly world class runner that this should be easy for him, but it’s clear that he’s way outside his comfort zone, so full credit. I reckon Andy will do his best to get inside 3 hours at Valencia so I predict 2.58.50!

I’ve run many half marathons but had to have spine surgery 5 months ago and I’ve had to be very patient with rehab. Walking has kept up my endurance, up to 25k. I’m now running again up to 10k and feeling very positive. Thanks for the inspiration and good luck in Valencia.

    I really want to get back into running, but long and exhausting business trips and illness have prevented me from running for almost two months now. It's devastating.

It’s one of the hardest and most proud personal achievements in my life. It might be brutal for u this weekend , but I guarantee every ache and pain will be well worth it once u cross that finish line. Good luck to you!!

    I have just starting training for April's Manchester marathon, it's my first one. I've never run more than 22km so I too feel that my biggest hurdle will be questioning whether or not I can run that far, the doubt you talked about.

  • @adamrochester896
    @adamrochester896 Год назад

    Very relatable about the worries of distance, niggles, the fuelling and the general unknowns. Race day is all in the head, but all the best on what will be an epic day.
    My simple advice:
    1. Make sure you give yourself enough time for a decent poo on race morning. Over the years I’ve moved my larger carb heavy meal to lunchtime pre-race day to give body more time to digest and egest in the morning!
    2. Hydration - lesson learnt in this run
    3. Do NOT go off too fast. Watches can be really helpful here as they objectively pin you to your pace. Others will fly off, let them go.
    4. Race day is all in your head. Chunk it, use mantras, keep certain things up your sleeve for when you need them. You will need them, so save them til the time comes when it’s the boost you need.
    5. Enjoy it, take in the weather, the sky, everyone cheering for you. Pain = struggle x resistance (plagiarising someone here, don’t know who!) so reduce your own struggle by celebrating the little wins and that will reduce the pain
    6. Stay in the rep your in. Focus on that km/chunking session, tick it off, then move to the next one.
    7. Celebrate what you have done. It is a huge achievement, doing the training and getting to the start line and doing the thing. It’s not a small feat, so enjoy it!
    I predict it’s a 2:53:35. All the best.

A long, long way off your pace and I didn't have to talk to a camera, struggled to even acknowledge others.

    I’m a 54 year old (sub 90 half marathoner) who was training for my first marathon earlier this year. Unfortunately I found my knee very sore after my longest 32km run. It slowly became worse over the following week in which I learned I had developed patellar tendinitis. It was clear I needed to rest (possibly over training) and ultimately it meant sitting out of the marathon. As my Physio advised - “play the long game. Look after your body as there will always be another marathon”. While disappointed at the time, she was right and I’m now slowly building again for the next. In the meantime, I’ve introduced far more x-training into my fitness program which is really important for someone at my age. Anyway, good look with your training but keep an eye on that knee!

    Great Job Andy! I’m thinking easily a sub 3 hr marathon probably about 2hr30 through 2hr46! Keep up the great work and thank you for being honest

    I'm currently training for my first marathon in April 2024. I've only done half marathon race in May 2023, but I'm super excited to go through the training which starts on Christmas day this year. It's exciting to see you, Andy, running your first marathon this weekend. It has been a great journey to witness your trainings for this goal. My prediction is 2:51:47! Good luck with the race, and enjoy the atmosphere! To be honest, whatever the time you hit, the most incredible thing you've just done after the finish line is that you've actually ran the longest distance of 26.2miles! Go go!!:)

    This year I saw the development of my girlfriend when using runna for half a year. As my knee injury is over, I am now ready to use runna as well (starting with the post injury plan of course) thank you for the inspiration during my 10 month knee injury break ❤️🙏

    You're doing brilliant Andy, you've managed to persuade me to run another Marathon next year. My last one was 8 years ago.
    Looking forward to it. 👍
