I Ran A Marathon Without Training To See What Would Happen

- I ran a marathon in Halifax, Nova Scotia without training. What happens when you don't train for for a marathon? That's just what I'm looking to find out! I signed up for the Blue Nose Marathon, Atlantic Canada's largest marathon only two days before the race, never having raced more than a 5k. Watch now to see how it went!

this guy must be in great shape, in general, to pull this off without any serious pain or stopping. much respect. not sure if this is wise/responsible for just any random person to do, though.
Probably not. Don't try it at home
There's zero chance this guy wasn't in some sort of cardio based activity prior to this video. Take the average *HEALTHY* American and get them to try this and their shins will shatter before they finish.
Yeah and teenage body helps a lot. No training for this specifically but he was ready enough, obviously some sort of athletic base, knew to have gels etc. But what a beast, unfazed the whole way.
It isn’t. Thanks to the age of disinformation. The first human to ever run a marathon died trying it.
@@nervonablisshe was in good shape but was not working cardio. The longest thing he had done was walk 35 Km over one day. He was however a very good 5km runner but hadn’t competed in years
That one kid that says he didn't study for the exam but we all know he did
How you have no comments lol
tru
@@masonnovak7258 Sometimes is just true, and that's enough.
ahahahahaha
yeah ofcourse! i even run occasionally, and i can't see myself running a marathon and be like that... 6min/km is relatively fast for no training LOL! this guy is pure utter BS
My buddy actually did the same thing. Guy ran the Pittsburgh marathon with me without training. He finished in 4 hours 17 minutes. One of the most impressive things I’ve ever seen.
how much does he weight
25kg?
Tell hime to try training for one and see how that goes!
Humans are made to run a marathon !!!
Pittsburgh was my first marathon. It's brutal race!
The encouragement and the way the runners immediately accepted you made me so emotional. Runners are a different breed ❤❤
I know you posted this video a year ago but I’ve started my running journey and came across your video. ❤️ How inspiring and incredible that you did this!!!! I almost cried when you finished!!! And what I loved the most was you encouraged every single person you came across, so beautiful. Shows your heart and your kindness! Congrats on your marathon! 🫶🏼
He was already in a good shape and have been runnning for years obviously. There is no way you can do a marathon without doing any form of training for mothns beforehand.
He has youth on his side also, try doing the same when your fifty , I know I've done marathons with no training, ya get away with it if your young only!
No working linge that your your lying
@@keithdouglas9848 That's pretty true. Youthful exuberance
It is possible, because I did it. I mean I almost died but did it😂(I have asthma)
i agree.
Congrats! Always... I just wanted to jump on here: Even if you are fit, this is usually NOT how you should approach a marathon. The bones, ligaments and muscles need time to adjust to that specific type of strain and the heart does as well. There have been several recorded deaths of people who ran marathons without sufficient training (heart attacks etc.) and so many people who have had injuries that took several months to rehab because they pushed their body to a limit it was not used to.
That's crazy!
I've had the same idea a few years back but trained for 3 months beforehand (didn't run more than 5k before).
It's funny to see that you got the EXACT same time as me (4:23). I was very proud and it showed me that you can learn anything if you invest time and dedication.
Made me very happy, until I heard that one of my Uni Professors (~40 years older than me) ran the same day an hour quicker.
A Marathon is literally a marathon. You can train for it our whole life and somehow it will pay out.
Great video!
Finally a true "no training marathon" 😂 love that you signed up 3 days before! And I feel like the running room people could be a little more supportive haha
Haha yess but at least they upped the stakes in the video. Next marathon is Paris in a few weeks! A month of training for this one.
@@OliverPriemer did u do a video of the Paris one?
Not sure what the "running room people" would be but as someone who has run 5 marathons, I'm impressed that not only did Oliver complete it - but did it w/o hitting the wall. I struggle late into the race even though I've put in tons of training. Either way, I think Oliver hit the nail on the head though. I don't really enjoy marathons but I do them because of what he said - they are a physical and a mental challenge. I clearly have not mastered it yet, so I keep pushing on.
I think they were worried. He’s obviously young and fit, he did great! But the world we live in where people are sometimes doing extremely dumb things to get views your conscious should naturally nag you to say something, people can get hurt doing something like this without training, and it’s important to respect the challenge you’re taking on. They gave him good advice but with a helping of concern. Good for him he knocked it out of the park!
Someone signs up for a marathon 3 days pre race with no training and they are supposed to be more supportive? Hell nah.
incredible, totally didn’t expect you to finish with an insane time. Congratulations, hopefully I can finish my first marathon this December🎉
My hopes are with you :)
how did it go?
This is insane! I used to do a lot of half-marathons, typically right under 2 hours (my best time was about 1hr 55min). I never reached my goal of running a full marathon, but I estimated that at best, I *might* be have been able to do around 4hr 20min - 30min. When I was watching this, I was sure that you would hit the wall and collapse half-way through. I was impressed that you finished but stunned when I saw the time. Incredible job!
Thank you very much 🙂
The gap between half and full marathon is insane. My Pb for a half marathon is 1h38. My Pb for a full marathon is 4h10(it's also the only full marathon I've done).
@@legrandliseurtri7495I would say that’s because you have not followed a training plan properly. You should be sub 4 hours easily if you can run a HM under 1.50
1 year of consistent training and you should be able to shave more than an hour... easily.
The secret is to increase your "easy" pace (and thus your maximum aerobic pace) by consistently doing easy and steady long runs.
However, if you wanna get below 3h30 without dying, then you'll need to add a serious dose of harder workouts (weights, sprints/strides, hill repeats, long intervals,...) so that your body gets better at recycling lactic acid and maintaining good, efficient running form, even when you're tired.
You have potential 👍
Just watched and congrats! I've got 27 marathon under my belt and was super nervous for you, but loved your attitude of encouragement towards others on the course. Great job!
Very impressive! I train for marathons and find them tough! My first marathon was 4:13 with a solid block of training so to pull a 4:23 out of the bag is incredible. Huge respect 💪 Imagine what you could run if you trained….
It's a lil clickbaity, he clearly trains at running or something similar. He has an athletic body and mentioned racing something at some point.
@@JohnSmith-pn1vv You’re probably right! 😏🙄
@@JohnSmith-pn1vv Totally agree. Videos like this downplay the effort that people put into training for a marathon. He's clearly active and in good shape and would venture to guess he could break 4 hours by a substantial margin if he actually trained.
This is incredibly inspiring! Congrats! For the first time, I signed up for a half marathon just a little under a month before the race. It’s coming up in two weeks and I have no prior training. Everybody I have told so far thinks I’m crazy. I hope I find the strength within myself like you did to be able to power through. Thanks for sharing your experience! I finally feel like I have at least a fighting chance haha
How did it go?
@@20sur20edu it was so liberating! I made a promise to myself just to never stop and just to keep going no matter what! Even though I didn’t finish with a super impressive time, I kept my promise to myself and made it! Thank you so much for your video and inspiration! It really made me believe in myself when even others wouldn’t! Actually, I am planning to sign up for another half marathon by the end of November too! 😅😅 This is sort of like the start to a lifelong marathon that your content helped jumpstart! Thank you!😊
@@octave9029 awesome to hear, by the way I am not the content producer of this video. Was just curious as I have a halth marathon to run end in a month ...
I am blown away. This video popping up in my recommended feed is very timely. I've plateaued with my 5ks and really want to do a 10k next year, but have felt discouraged. I have another 5k next weekend and hope I can breeze through it. I will think of your strength as I run!
I hope you go for the 10k in 2024!
You can do it brother!
I clicked this video not knowing what I was getting into, but man what a great surprise. This month I started training for my first ever race (10k) in my life. I consider myself somewhat fit (regular cycling, gym and any other racquet sport lol) but most definitely not a runner, but as part of my New Year’s resolutions I decided I’d try something new and that I’d been avoiding for so long for fear of injuries or looking like a complete noob. This gave me so much motivation and even brought a tear to my eye at the end. The running community is so wholesome , I’m even more determined to take on this challenge. Awesome video !
Awesome video I’ve been training for months and I won’t come close to your time/much respect!!! April 30th my first, OKC marathon I’m shooting for 5 hrs
Best of luck:) You may surprise yourself!
Finish line, not finish time, all important especially for your first.
Very well done! My first ever race was a 10K without any prep, with 0 running experience and I was crushed after finishing it. Can't imagine how challenging a 42.2K could be especially mentally
Hats off to you. I just saw this video and just know that what you did is truly an inspiration. I'm running my first marathon in May and this is exactly what I needed to help keep going.
Dude, this seriously was a beautiful video. I was so hooked in the entire time - amazing insights, thanks so much for making this. Hope you find the time to create more amazing works of art like this! I'm these impact more people than you realize, certainly did for me. Cheers!
Hey thanks for this comment man. Not sure if or when I'll get back to filming videos, but it was a pleasure making them.
That video is actually inspiring instead of the clickbaity bs i expected. Well done, mate, really well done!
Congrats!!! Thats an insane time for not training!, i ran my first marathon last year in 3 hours 29 minutes
how much training did you have? did you have do any smaller ones before?
Dang. That is fast
Oliver, you did extremely well. Very proud to see this. I did 30 ish Marathons and 7 Ironman's and other bollox myself. And what I often see is guys over - pacing from the start. You did well starting slow. This is how exactly it works. Fantastic job you did! Keep up!
This video made me tear up. Just wow. The humility. The challenge. The motivation.
Caution to all, from an experienced 60+ marathon veteran here - do NOT think you can just go from no exercise period, to running in a marathon. Look up the story of the late Jade Goody, for warnings on that one.
This looked a bit click baity to me. Looking at this guy's performance and build, he blatantly keeps himself in at least decent physical shape - even if he's not a regular long term runner.
That's very different from doing a marathon with 'no training'. He's said also he ran up to 15k - so he knows what its like to run for long periods, without significantly stopping. That IS training of a sort.
Good he made it, respect to him. But he's not a couch potato is blatant, so don't try and make out he's one... 🙄
I endorse this caution! You know what you're talking about.
I am the cameraman from the video. He’s in great shape yeah but also like genuinely outside of the occasional run he really didn’t train much. All good points you make though like me I could never do anything like this. I wouldn’t say the video is clickbaity because he really didn’t train for it
@@coolstufftodo5256quote: 'he's in great shape' ; 'apart from the occasional run'.
Respectfully, you seem to have just supported what I said, via your own comments here.
Again, congrats to him - but this is not someone then out of shape, and who doesn't exercise.
Jup I never ran in my life, ran 3k Yesterday and felt Like I was dying afterwards
@@pennylane8936 well done you 👌 if you've no pre-existing medical conditions, it will get easier with training, and building it up gradually over time.
The first time I ran a mile, I was exhausted and felt I was nuts to do this immediately afterward - but keep at it, it gets easier 👌
Top 100 is elite 🔥 imagine if you trained you’d be top 30 easy maybe even higher
you are so inspirational. that timing is insane for no training. you are a living example of setting your mind to complete something - and absolutely smash it out of this world!!! crazy
Well done Oliver, great job on completing the marathon. 💯🏅🤙📣Thanks for the encouragement also to get out there and face challenges, I appreciate that very much 🙌
you have serious running potential! You'll also find through running that the running community is one of the best communities around full of genuinely good people. Hope you keep up your running journey!
great run and truly amazing performance without training, Oliver. Didn't expect you to be a good runner given your last sports video lmao. Now you could continue with running videos and gear tests and the like
15k mark and you're just starting to feel it?
untrained?
whatever you say fella 👍
Dude. Just ridiculous not only that you finished, but with a great finishing time as well. Congrats and mad respect for this!
That's real kind man, thanks😁
Wasn’t going to do a run tonight… here I go 😊. Thanks for the video, bud.
Not advisable but also very inspirational and lovely to watch a young man with a positive can do attitude and also very respectful and encouraging to those around him
YOU DID AN AMAZING JOB! I ran 5k at the BlueNose Marathon 2 years ago probably the same time as you. I wasn't trained as well but it motivated me a lot. (I am overweight and not fit lol) Now I saw your video. It motivated me even more. That experience was amazing. 2 years later I am preparing for Warsaw Half Marathon now. Thank you for this great video.
I got tired just watching you run!! LOL Proud of you! You're extraordinary and inspiring!! Thank you for sharing your experiene.
Your message at the end sums it up perfectly.
Running a 50km this weekend after 16 weeks training and will be aiming for under 5 hours so it's good to her about getting past objects and pushing the mental and physical barrier.
Congrats brother, I’m doing my first Ironman in less then 30 days, only been training for 4 months but I’ve given it my all, I’m coming back the 19th of November to tell you how it went, Ironman Mossel Bay South Africa here I come
Ironman...now that's a whole different obstacle. Best of luck to you.
how did it go?
@@daviddivad777 He got 7:17:55, which is pretty good!
Great video and great performance. WOW! Liked the "you're killing it" guy LOL. You are a beast and ate that marathon up for breakfast. Best of luck if you tackle any other life obstacles.
when i saw you cassually beat my half marathon PB without training that i spent two months preparing for i was mad..... 😂 amazing video and achievement, really like your energy and attitude!
Dont belive everything you see on the internet...
Lol so cool to see this. I did this in my mid 20s after my barber convinced me. I ran 5ks and 12ks in the past but a marathon as always on my bucket list. After not running for 3-4 years, my barber and I signed up for a marathon that was 1 week out. I finished in 5.5 hours. Ran for 13 miles straight and cramped up bad at the 15 mile mark. At the 18 mile mark, I just sat down and couldn't move my feet; they hurt so bad. A kind lady gave me an Aleve pill as she saw me in excruciating pain. I waited 5 min and zoomed off the ground like a horse out the gate. End result -- I was using crutches for the next 3-4 days. I could barely walk.
The collective NO to you saying that you had coconut water 😂
not a runner by any means. not even close. i’m preparing for my first half next month and the goal is to run a full next year! thank you for the inspiration Oliver. i love you brother thank you 🙏🏾
This video is amazing. Thank you for sharing this experience and for your words of encouragement. Major respect for ya, sir. Way to go!
Great job! You are so inspiring!! I've got my first half marathon in 9 weeks and currently training. The mental headspace is an awesome and intimidating place to be in, but am learning to enjoy it.
I did this once, well it was 22 miles with at least 15000 feet of elevation and hot while carrying 6 liters of water, I did absolutely 0 preparation. It was the high line hike in glacier national park, I did stop once for like 20 minutes, but that was it, by the end I was in an absolute immense amount of pain. With genuinely every step, I felt like an ancient 112 year old getting out of bed for the first time specifically in the last mile, every part of my body that could hurt felt like it gave out, they did give out but I just kept going, idk if I should have done this but I was fine after. I sat down for 2 horus, then I could not get up, I limped everywhere, even 5 steps(I couldn't walk farther than that) was extremely painful all over my body.
I loved your summary, and great job on completing the marathon!
Awesome Oli. Congrats on finishing your first marathon in an amazing time as well. I'm sure it would not be your last.
I've never ran more than a half marathon but completed three full IM. Maybe that's something you should do next. If so, good luck.
You were polite to volunteers and supportive to runners 🙌🏻
Thought this would be comedy, turned out inspiring. Good job man! Also nice to see supporters from the streets. Excited to run my half!
Great vid Oliver! Looking forward to following all of your adventures on RUclips and instagram!
Not gonna lie this made me smile with joy.....ive my first marathon in may next year nervous and excited at the same time
i am a bit late to this video but it was an absolute inspirational thing to see, i admire your mental strenght and this was so nice to see, things like this make me want to keep going and chasing my goals, thanks mate❤
I don't even follow you, but your video was recommended several times by RUclips that I decided to watch. I'm very happy and impressed by how good and well you were able to finish the marathon. But I feel like I should say that this is not the reality for most people and it's dangerous to put your body into such an stressfull activitie without a minimun amount of training. Becareful the next time and don't encourage people to do the same, to most of them it can be very bad.
For anyone watching this thinking they don't have to train to do a marathon: please train. To pull off something like this, you're likely in pretty athletic shape already with no pre-existing health conditions. If you're considering a marathon, please train for it.
I never ran a marathon it's really cool to see all the people encouraging you 🙌
i think you’re crazy but also awesome for doing this. watching you run it was so inspiring and motivating and you really did good for someone that didn’t train for it
Needed this. I developed ITB syndrome and thus will have to now do the London Marathon in a month with very little training beforehand to ensure I don’t injure myself further.
Im currently training for a marathon and I clicked this video and when I saw it I was so surprised it was from moncton my home province. I used to drive by that running club store all the time and recognized it right away it was like 5 minutes from my grandmothers house. I think its cool that you ran the marathon without training, but from what I saw from your other videos is that you played soccer and were already in pretty good shape so for you I think its ok, but a guy who doesnt play other sports or who is normally active wouldnt make it without causing health problems. Anyway Im excited to run my first marathon this Sept in Montreal! I just registered today and I started an 18 week Nike Marathon training plan thats on an app with an audio coach to guide you through the runs a week ago. Im already in quiet good shape, I get mostly 10'000 steps per day and love long distance walks so I just need to get back into running. Im probably going to do a run walk run method. I hope I make it to the end as my last two sporty goals were to go sky diving and run a marathon. I even went to the library and borrowed 35 books about running, marathons, marathon training and runners biographies. My goal is to finish reading them all before I run the marathon and will be an expert on the topic by the end of it. Im not very good at making youtube videos anymore but maybe I will write and article or a book about my own experience training for the marathon after it.
Well done for being prepared to be seen possibly 'failing' (which you definitely didn't). We're really seeing you become tremendously confident and grabbing life in your terms. Excellent.
Bro I’m over here doing a 5k in 29 minutes and i feel so sick after then your over here not training at all and doing a whole marathon that’s straight respect 🫡
Amazon editing on this video, dude! Also, I’m more motivated to do the Bluenose, at least a 10k (I have no excuse, I live in downtown Halifax).
Thanks man:) Go for it!!
Yo that’s insane, congrats on your full marathon!
I had zero experience training for a half marathon and only started training 7 weeks before the half marathon. I finished with a 2:08 time and hope I can be faster. It’s been one month and my latest half marathon time was 1:48 😅
Wow, excellent work! Enjoy the miles!
Great job! Keep running man. Do not stop! What matters is not the goal but being able to run.:)
Just watched your video .. loved it bro! Well done 🙌🔥
Man, you deserve more views. I thought I was watching a channel with over a million subscribers! Really amazing pace for no training. What’s your background? The longest you’ve ran was 15km but were you ever a runner before this marathon? I’m currently training for a half marathon, but my pace is so slow (8-9:00 min/km) because I struggle gaining weight in muscle mass… I can go as fast as 6-7:00 min/km but never sustain it because they feel like sprinting to me. Anyway, I hope you keep posting more videos about running! Love what you said at the end of the video. Hoping that marathon turned you into a runner for life!
Same, training for my first half but I'm hoping to finish in the 3 hour cut-off time. Most half marathons where I live are even with a 2:30 cut-off time which means that's too fast for me even with consistent training.. They say super slow but steady runs make you faster in the future so I'm just hoping that's true lol. At this point I'm just too slow to sign up for a full marathon here.
Clearly the guy has trained. This video was just click bait.
@@reunionrocker3482 Not too sure about that. At big marathon events there's more untrained people at the starting line than you'd think.. They don't put it on RUclips but they definitely brag about it to friends, family and coworkers.
Is it good for your body? Absolutely not. But if you have a good base endurance (can be from whatever other sports you've ever done) and you dose it very well by not starting way too fast the hardest part is the mental part.
@@lifewithastridtell me you never trained enough. People cannot run a marathon just like that
@@TON-vz3pe Never trained enough? Lol I'm a runner for nine years but yeah tell me I never trained enough. 😂 In my opinion it's a dumb thing to do any distance over 10k untrained. But I definitely know people who did..
On a low heart rate (which depends from person to person) even non-runners can run for hours. The problem is that their muscles aren't used to it and they end up in pain. Some people can mentally block that pain out and deal with it after the finish line. It's risky because they can injure themselves for a long time..
(I'm not one of those people who can block out that pain though. Plus I don't want to injure myself. 😂)
Inspiring mate! well done, incredible what you can achieve putting mind over matter having not trained. Definitely giving me the idea to tackle a marathon!
What an achievement!!! Cried my eyes out at the end!! ❤
Great job man! It’s my time tomorrow, my first marathon ever, I have ran 20 km before in a single run but I will have to make it tomorrow. Prepared for 2 months/ 3 months almost. I have to show up and do my best and complete this obstacle.
How did it go???
@@Memorare87 Barely managed to finish that. In 6 hours or something. It came to a point where I couldn’t run because my kidneys hurt so I just limped and walked for like 5 km. I don’t know why I hit the wall so hard.
The only reason I can think of, ironically, I was prepared for a half marathon. They put me in a marathon and I couldn’t change my category.
Anyway, I did it. I wanted to give up many times at the end but I fought on. Needless to say my leg muscles hurt like hell now.
Congrats on finishing the marathon!! Completing that race is something to be seriously proud of. Most importantly, you fought through it.
@@OliverPriemer Thank you so much brother! Honestly, I was watching videos 2 days before the marathon and I stumbled upon yours. Was glad I did because when I found it hard to move forward, I thought that I am not alone. Many others have felt like me in the same scenario. So that made me go through.
Great job, Oliver!
Amazing idk why this made me really emotional
I’m training for my first marathon and I’ve never run before last week. I’m super excited. I have about 6 months to train, I know I can do it!
This guy is so underrated like i watched this whole video thinking it had like 3 million views 😂😂
You’ve discovered a secret talent it seems! Awesome job (2 years late😅)
I didn't expect that , great job man !
Respect Oliver! Awesome job, and a big gratz from Denmark!
Unreal effort!! Love you cheering on other runners 👌🏼
Haha thanks!
Loved your thoughts at the end, inspirational stuff man
Loved how you encouraged other runners on the way! No idea how you dropped your pace nearer to the end! Well done! How was your recovery? 🎉 🏅 👟
This was awesome, very inspiring, well done! 👏
Doing my first 7 km run in two weeks. Thanks for the motivation
This video was really really entertaining to watch ❤️
Well the title worked and pulled me in! 😂 Enjoyed the video and a great achievement but you were clearly in decent shape already and used to running mid-longer distances. I done one marathon in my 20s and didnt finish as strong as that after training for months and hit the wall after 21 miles despite running that distance several times in training. As I say dont want to bring down the achievement but i was expecting some dude who had never ran before at all when i clicked on the video 😂. All the best 👍🏻
I have to know, did you have any kind of Running experience prior to this and/or any exercising that you do? Because a time of 4:23 is really impressive, especially for no training.
I ran the Berlin marathon in 2008 at the age of 41 without training for it, someone dropped out so I took their place, everyone else declined, I've never done a marathon before so I thought why not I normally run 5km to 10km. Geeeeez, it was so packed, for the first 5 or 6 miles I was just jogging until it opened out. About 3 miles from the end I decided to picking up water from a water station and walked for a bit, that was a terrible mistake, my legs seized up and couldn't run properly. That was the most painful few miles I'd ever experienced. I managed to complete the marathon in 3 hrs and 22 minutes. Oh by the way.. Never again will I'll just do one untrained.
More good content, I like how supportive you were with all those you passed and caught up with the rabbit! Your buddy was pretty funny too!
Congratulations. That's impressive. Inspiring video.🙏
I love this video! The perseverance is contagious! 💪
oh my god all the people at the side of the road doing all sorts of cute stuff to cheer on the runners, they're just adorable I love them
I was a little surprised they allowed you to wear your bib on the side. Normally it is how they announce you when you come into the finish line. Great job!!!
This was awesome to watch way to go man !
RUclips videos live forever this is inspiring
😊truly Appreciate How U continued to Encourage Others On their Race !!!!!!!👍👏NICE 🥳🥳
Okay now THAT is a good thumbnail
It looks like shit tbh 😭
what an encouraging video! it's cool
Should have had all your family there. Well done 👊🏿
You're amazing. I don't think I can finish a Marathon without any training at all.
Love your attitude. Thank you for this inspirational video. Training for my first marathon in 3 months. Maybe I should stop training all together 😉
Great time for someone who didn't train! You must be in shape!
