I went out tryin to break 3hr Went out 18.30 5k Looked around said whoa guys need to slow down. They didn’t I didn’t. Hit half in 1:27 Hit the wall SO HARD Worst race of my life. Only marathon so far. Looking to dip well into 2:40s this weekend. My first marathon bonk was 11 years ago

2:40 would be a great time! Good luck! It always amazes me how many people go out too fast, last 6 miles I feel like I’m reeling in a lot of people who are feeling the pain. Stick to the pacing plan 😄

Enjoyed the recap Lee, I’m trying the 80/20 training and it’s nice to run easier and a lower heart rate 😀 much more enjoyable. I’ve only done a couple of half marathons in training and aim to run Exeters in May 🤞good luck for you & Rachel tomorrow 👍🏃♂️🏃♀️

It is a much easier way of training Steve and a lot more enjoyable when you’re not pushing hard on every run ☺️ Exeter HMs course is nice, especially the bits around the quay. Have a good parkrun - DFYB 😉

what a great recap. with regards to my last race. this was the Royal Parks 1/2 and as usual i went off way too quickly. it was stupid of me but i got my goal with it being just under 2hrs. well done again for a wonderful time :)

It’s one of the hardest things to get right - I think this marathon may have been my first time in a race where I didn’t set off too hard. I see it every week at parkrun too - I wonder why🤔 Well done on achieving your goal at the Royal Parks - I watched Fordy’s vid of that race and looks a decent course ☺️ Thanks for the kind words and for watching 👍

Yeah I’m with you there - I managed it once in my last PB attempt for the half but most other races, go out too fast. Maybe it’s harder to judge from a standing start to a faster pace, especially over shorter distances where seconds count.

Well done on the first attempt. Have you heard of UCAN Energy - it provides starch for energy not glucose. This might help people with stomach issues during the run and highs and lows.

Well done, a great result and well paced! I ran Manchester and fell over at mile 2 🤣 Got my knee patched up and carried on. Found it tough but had a burst of energy at mile 19 and ran my fastest miles to the finish!! 3:57 - not my best time but still pretty happy considering 😊😊

Wow! That's pretty amazing considering your fall so early on the race - it's not easy to run whilst hurting let alone another 24.2 miles! Sub-4 is an awesome time too and you finished strong! Thanks for watching and commenting!

I highly recommend the 80/20 Marathon plan I used - very progressively built up the mileage and I felt ready for the marathon after 18 weeks of training. Thanks for watching Dave 👍

I ran Manchester, aiming to run sub 3 hours…the first hour went to plan and then I started cramping up…practically walked and shuffled the last 10 miles and came in in 4 hours 6 seconds…

Well done... nice consistent pace...very disciplined!! Great time indeed. How much do you attribute the performance to your diet choice? (sorry new to this channel so not sure if you touched on this before). Personally I don't normally race with a HRM strap as it start slipping down and getting me nervous. I now bought the Polar OH1+ which I wear on my arm and I think I will use it in the next race. Well done again...a sub 3hr marathon is a dream for me!

Thanks so much for the kind words and if you haven’t hit the subscribe button I’d appreciate it if you did! ☺️ I attribute much of the success to being vegan - and not necessarily just the race day itself, but it’s very helpful during the training block. Plant-based athletes recover quicker and all that extra nutrition went a long way to keeping me running and feeling good. I like the look of those arm HRM - how are you finding the accuracy? Thanks again ☺️

Well you've convinced me to try 80/20. Just ordered the book. And I gave up wearing chest strap heart rate monitor because it either slips down or feels too tight - wrong shaped chest ?

Awesome! I don’t think you’ll regret it - I started with the book before buying one of the plans online - best thing I ever did! As for the HRM, it was a pain to get used to at first and I wasn’t keen on it at all. I started wanting to use a power meter instead, but that quickly got complicated and I eventually got used to the HRM. Wrist-based HRM just aren’t accurate enough.

You pace consistency is impressive. Very sensible and disciplined. Its so easy to get over excited at the start. It pays dividends to stay in control. A local non-vegan friend tried running it at 6:35 pace and hit the wall around 20M finishing at 3:20 something.

@@Reasons-to-be-Vegan Thanks Paul - I really like getting into that rhythm of a steady pace and I was happy with the first few miles. Between 5K and the finish I passed 500 participants, I reckon I passed at least a few hundred after the first mile or two as well, which I think demonstrates your point well 👍

Hi Toasterboy - I've been running for about 6 years now. I spent the first 2-3 years working on my 5K time, running sub-17 and then worked on HM before taking on a full marathon about 4 to 5 years since I started.
