Thanks@@buntyboomboom2978 wish you the best of luck with your prep and the big day. It looks like a nice race and improved from recent years (flatter). Say hello if you see me 😃

Thanks@@catsniffer7645 it's at in harajuku, Tokyo. For the the Asics store. 🙂

@@Kaisersozze thanks for your thoughts ! They seem to be getting better with each run, so needs breaking in a bit, or Im needing to adjust to them a bit 🙂 Glad I them though

@@tworunningbrooms well spotted TRB 😃 It's just to make sure I "shake out" the system at home. The facilities are not open so early in the morning on the quayside 😂 always like to play it safe. Even when I'm a bit later it's become routine now. There's still a bit of warming up on the quayside too though

@@RunFreeandStrong yeah and it's actually really nice if it's not icy wind 🥶 but definitely a good day of running 😄

@@LeszekDeska I'm sure it work out fine, you have a great coach and alot of motivation/experience. Great we are doing similar workouts 😃

@@deansummerton2577 similar thoughts to me then 😂 That's a good rotation of shoes there too !

@@kennyosborne5835 yeah Kenny, so many options out there. I'm going to give these boston12s a bit more work 😃

@@PatrickStar_24 thanks Patrick 😃 The workout went really well for the first one but more to come. How's was your run this weekend (if you did) ?

@@RunThePlanet The weather was too bad so I just took the week off to recover. I'm still early in the build up. 20 weeks out. Pick it back up tomorrow though.

@@kennyosborne5835 cheers Kenny, yes would good too see you do something before MCR, although with all those hyper park runs performances maybe that's enough 😃

@@tworunningbrooms Yeah thanks 😃 and I'm planning some cooler marathons too

Thanks Grado 😃 3hr22, how about yours ?

@@stevierunner thanks Steve, and sorry for that, I had put my bib out the day before I think. Li, but if you searched by Matthew you'd have got the list. Anyway, it was a bit of a disaster 😂 so you didn't miss much. Excellent choice with the Newport marathon, and good luck, I've heard its flat and fast, you'll do great 😃 and in early April a good chance it'll be a bit cooler

@@rundreamachieve thank you thank you 😃 Looking forward to next workout adventure

@@RunFreeandStrong thanks Reto 😃 well if Kip can do 25 so can we 😂 one day. I think I'll stop at 20. 10x800 is much easier than 20x400, strange 🤔

@@RunThePlanet Yes you can!!! July 2023, I ran 20 x 400 in mid-90's with last one in 85 and with 90 sec recovery. It's brutal physically and mentally. Will build back up again and give it a go in a few months.

@@deansummerton2577 😲😲 Brass Monkey, all the best - good luck 🤞🤞 I'll be at the Newcastle 10k the day before

@@LeszekDeska great to hear Leszek 😃 amazing same times ! Yes, Do a bit with the GoPro 😃 will be motivating to see you workouts from time to time. I'll keep updating my progress, no problem. Happy New Year !!

@@deansummerton2577 thanks for your kind words Dean 😀 I wish you the best of luck with your goals then, hope you achieve it. My best parkrun is about 28 minutes (only ever done 1, Drudge Bay) Let's just keep pushing ourselves and see where we end up !

@@RunFreeandStrong thanks Reto 😃 sometimes we need to just go for it, and aim for the sky 😁 overreaching a little maybe but I'm willing to give it a go.

@@kennyosborne5835 thanks Kenny, I'll give it my best. Those goals of yours are fast but definitely within your grasp from what I have seen you achieve this year gone and before (remember that first Edinburgh marathon, comfortably sub3), go get it 😃😃

@@LeszekDeska Good to hear from you Leszek, seems such along time we were at Valencia 😃 Agree with you maybe I'm a bit too ambitious for 3hrs but if I shoot for that maybe I'll get the 3:10 (go out at 4:15 pace for the first 32k then manage the cramp to the end 😂 ) Wish you all the best with 2025 too and yes it would be good if I see you at a race again next year. Your times in 2024 were great, happy new year too !

Thanks Michael, yeah it's one big continuous year on year push isn't it 😂 why we do it to ourselves I'm not so sure 😁 good luck with your goals too if your aiming for something 😃

@@timothytrewin All that sounds great Tim 😃😃 no way I could hang with you or want to hang with for the 5k and 10k 😂😂 that's fast ! Maybe I trundle in just behind you in the half. Yeah I'd like a sub40 but like the 5k and the half it's all second fiddle to the marathon for me, but I think 40 should be doable. Likewise a no cramping marathon is easily doable if your not chasing time 😂 I know how you feel

@@MuneebRaza-u8m thank you Raza, maybe I'll update the thumbnail then, appreciate you dropping your opinion 😀 what application/software do you use for creating thumbnails ?

@RunThePlanet send me your WhatsApp contact I tell you details

@@tworunningbrooms that's a good guess but I'm trying to be a bit economical too with it. A bit closer to home for the next one 😉 Let's see if I can do a race a month in 2025

@@kennyosborne5835 merry Christmas Kenny🎄yes good guess, you always pretty much guess my races. I wonder if you can guess my winter marathon... (I definitely haven't picked it yet 😂 ) But lets leave that till after Barcelona.

@ Frankfurt is pretty good as you can get cheap accommodation 700m from the start line. I’m signed up for Berlin next year. You should get one that’s easy to get to etc to give yourself the best chance to perform.

@@kennyosborne5835 yeah makes sense, didn't really know about Frankfurt marathon until you mentioned. Maybe I'll give it a go one day

@@RunFreeandStrong Merry Christmas to you too Reto 😃😃 Yeah I'm just running now and still thinking about the tweaks. Christmas is here already, where did that come from 😲 😲 🎁

@@kirstycollins945 thanks Kirsty 😃 that Barcelo breakfast was great, you two should try it. yeah she helped out alot this trip best supporter award to wife !!

@@RunFreeandStrong thanks Reto, the expo was good, probably the biggest one I've been too after Tokyo. Just a bit pricy for the NB stuff 😂 otherwise would have loved the VLC jacket.

@@TheWu yeah 😂😂 spent forever researching the right one. Want something compact, my normal ones too big. This one just £30, does the job. Considering that, still cant believe the race went wrong 😂😂

@@timothytrewin thanks Tim 😃 yeah sorry they are not all this long. I'm sure some will turn off or skip bits 😂 I prefer to make 10-15 minute vids generally, but these rare ones covering a long period are rare for me, fair bit of work.

@RunThePlanet I think it's great to have a mix of length mine are generally 10-15 I think but yowana does like 50min+ every vid and I think it's good you did it this long to document and people can watch as much as they want 👍. Hope the recovery is going well

That's ideal 🤌 good luck with Manchester! I wanted to run that but have a wedding on that weekend 🥺

@@kennyosborne5835 thanks Kenny 😃 Always nice to be able to prepare your meals before race day isn't it. What time are you going for manchester ?

@@RunThePlanet I really want a sub 2:40. That’s the new sub 3 to me. I failed twice so far though.

@kennyosborne5835 third time lucky 🥉 🤞🤞

Thanks @@timothytrewin appreciate you sticking through that long one 😃 last year after valencia 2023 I decided I only to do 2024 if I could do it with no stone unturned. In the training and prep I feel I did that, if you care to see the next vid tmrw (not pushing it) you will see my full week in Valencia, and in the moment I feel I did all that I could pactically do. But as you say we learn from every race, even 10 or 20 maras in 😂 I see some mistakes now and decision could have been made differently 😃 Through the whole block I felt good and better than any block before, energy wise, performance, mentally. But the biggest block I've done, maybe I was overtrained and peaked early.

@RunThePlanet ​ sounds like there's a lot of positives to take from this block mate! Even to the point you know your body can handle the mileage and still recover 💪 but I think the addition of heat is still going to make it tough even if it's only 5°C warmer especially if you haven't had the chance to do many long runs in that temperature. I really notice a decrease in energy levels in the warmer weather. But I'm loving the 0°c in Scotland for training atm 🤣 I'll tune in for your next vid. Would love to have a chat about training on another app sometime 👍

@timothytrewin It's along one tmrws vid 😂 but it's also documenting it for me for next time. I'll go back to Valencia one day, once the self pressures off 😃

@RunThePlanet 😆 that's fine I'll check it out, get that watch time up for ya 😆. Yeah that's a good thing being able to document all this for our own reference later on. You consider running Edinburgh again? I probably will because it's near home but damn annoying along the coast 🤣

@@timothytrewin I'm thinking about it. it's great run I like it 😃 but when it's windy it's terrible 😂 If I go I'll probably play it safe and run the half again

Thanks @@RunSensible yep there's no giving up here just yet. Well done to sign up next year. If you see my next video I did basically everything I could training and prep-wise. Just got caught out with hydration I think 🤔 Ran 2023 and 2024 and I want to remove the pressure and expense of this race so taking at least a year away from Valencia (let someone else have the place too) Im sure I'll go back one day though. Good luck for your 2025, let me know how it goes (long way away I know) 🤞

@RunThePlanet you did really well. The marathon is a hard race and a tough nut to crack. My PB is 3.08 but I did this year what you mentioned, I took all pressure away and I just trained to enjoyment. I was out of shape last year and getting back in 3hr11 shape was really uplifting even if it was slower than I had hoped. I had no pressure and I enjoyed every minuet of it. Keep going, it will happen for you.

@@kennyosborne5835 thanks Kenny, great to hear your thoughts and guesses of the next marathon 😃 won't be long now. Still catching up after been away and with a busy run up to Christmas. I like Manchester and it's a good course for me, holding my PB and 2 fastest times. I think you'll do something amazing, I might be there yet, who knows, but 3 years in a row already... 😉

Thanks @@paulvymeris425 Yeah, expect me to do a few shorter races too next year. I'm hoping to do more say maybe 1 a month, but I really like the marathon training over the others. More to come and 2025 here we go 😁😁

@@NeillyVille thanks Neilly, that's amazing, so many good points in there and great to hear your success. It won't be too long before the cats out the bag 😃 Ill do my very best for the next one !

@@itsonandy yeah thanks Andy, got to be happy with it overall. Definitely happy with my effort in the race. At some point you must have flown past me 😃
