Amazing running. I have been following your progress, the Taylor Swift marathon being particularly impressive! Good luck with the marathon, hope you smash it 🙏
Thanks for following along! Do you think Taylor will come and cheer me on in Montreal? Maybe that’s what I need? :)
Go go Global runner!
Let’s goooo! :)
You're in good shape buddy, that time on that course is very impressive!
Thank you! It would have been nice to have found a super fast course to build some confidence but that’s ok. I’m definitely in good shape. Excited to see if it’s good enough!
Hey mate! If you want to run sub 2:29:00, you need to run 10k for 32 min. All the best from Russia!
Maybe! But in 2017 I ran 2:26 for the marathon when I was in 33.30 shape for 10k. It’s a stretch goal in Montreal but I think I can do it. The gravel, the altitude etc all meant my 10k time was slower. It’ll be exciting either way…! Thanks for tuning in!
@@global-runner My guess is that it was’nt a 10k effort if yr HR average was 160. Assuming you can also average 160 HR for the marathon you should be good for your goal time. Just a endurance question at this point, no issue with the pace required
that’s true. I’m definitely no longer scared of the pace which I was at the start of the build. Top of my wish list would have been more miles in the build but I had to manage that toe injury and I got some decent long ones in notwithstanding!
Running is such an amazing sport! 3:26 and yes, got to get those Power Ups!
Ha ha! It’s like free energy! :)
Well done!
Thank you!!
I ran the half. I’m 50 as well. I got my first sub 90 minute finish. It was a great event! Congratulations on your win and all the best in Montreal
Way to go! That’s a really hilly course to run sub 90 on. Good for you!!
Brilliant performance and the scenery looks stunning - well done! The bouncer also did a sterling job! Out of interest, are you traditionally more of a speed or endurance monster - or both?! I find I need to dial in my speed work more during marathon prep
Thank you! And thanks for your comment. I’m definitely a speedster. I come from a track background and benefit from a lot of mileage much more than speed work. My one “regret” in this build is that I wasn’t able to hit the key mileage weeks due to that toe injury. But then who gets the perfect build ever?! :)
I can confirm that crushed gravel will cost you seconds per KM in carbon fiber shoes. My home course marathon is part pavement part crushed gravel trail and in the last 10k, I spent 4km on crushed gravel at 333W at 4:33/km and the last 6km on pavement was also 333W but 4:27/km. Same overall effort HUGE difference in speed. I can't wait to run Chicago in a few weeks on all pavement and flat surfaces. Last October I ran Valley Harvest in Wolfville N.S. where there was 5k, 10k, half, full and 50k Ultra...and the trail sections there were CRAZY with the congestion. I will never run another marathon on narrow trails again, and I will never RACE another marathon on partial trail surfaces again. For fun or as a pacer, sure...but now that I have the data why give away all that time for nothing, unless it's some crazy net downhill like Marathon P’tit Train du Nord. Go execute at Montreal, be in the moment, and let the results be what they will be.
This is great data! I did think the gravel cost me about 30 seconds and this seems to confirm that! You’re right though. Just gotta relax, stay calm and let the race come to me. :)
beautiful race in all respects....
Thank you!!
Solid run! Very impressive given the route, elevation and crowd weaving. You got this!!
Thanks!!!
Great performance man it looks all promising and i am very hopeful for your marathon race! Let’s go global runner let’s go just execute it! 💪
What is that MIT thing on your singlet?
Great question! MitoCanada! It’s a charity I’m heavily involved in. Check out my video from about 3 months ago where we ran a Guinness world record for the half marathon tied together!
Well done, nice confidence builder. Stunning 10k course. You are on track to target!
Thank you! I definitely took a lot of confidence from this race. Felt in control which was the main thing.
A year later after your initial review do you have any conclusion on the shoe? I am on the verge of buying them.
I really like them. The ride underfoot is one of the best in any shoe I have including road shoes. The issue some people might have is the floppy heel collar. I’ve never had any issues with it but I could see how some people might not like it. Overall I really like mine.
Very nice insta footage, may be you can add some gauges like pace, heart rate, i think there is an insta360 go function for that, Nick Bester doing it on his races. Anyway congrats great performance.
I think that’s because he has a Coros watch maybe? I need to look into that because that’s definitely a cool feature.
@@global-runner nope he is running Garmin Forerunner 965.
Ooh I need to look into that…
I owe you a drink! I just worked out how to do this thanks to you and it looks amazing. Wish I’d known about this before I ran my race! :)
@@global-runner Great. Oncoming races footage will be amazing. :)
A really good 10k time, and I'm sure you can go faster. I ran a 41:44 10k time trial a month ago and that was a breakthrough for me at age 50. You are still my benchmark for what I 'could be' capable of 😅
It's like I can run a 4:15 per km pace indefinitely, using my running technique, but as soon as I go for sub 4min pace I burn energy exponentially.
That’s a great time! The difference between 4:15 and 4 is huge though. I wouldn’t beat yourself up if it’s way harder to run at 4 mins/km. That’s super fast!
Amazing run and amazing views. It’s always great to watch your videos as it gives people our age hope for improving. Well done.
Thanks for your comment! I love hearing things like this! Thanks for reaching out!
Good work punker!
Thanks!
Great channel. And very inspiring journey! You will break the sub 2:30 for sure!
Thank you! I hope you’re right! Excited to find out!
Awesome! You 100% controlled the race at the right pace at the right effort, perfect 💪🏻🎉! I had exactly the same feeling yesterday, hitting a PB on the10K of 38:44 in the build to Valencia for a sub-3. Great for confidence going into a 12-week marathon specific build this week. Good luck with the final preps!
Great work! And good job on running a PB. 38 minutes sounds well on track for sub 3!
Runner from Portugal here showing support and amazed for all the accomplishes. Go for it. You got it💪
Thanks for your comment! I love to hear that people from other countries are watching! Let’s go…! :)
I had the same bib number, and wore the same shorts, for my marathon today. That's where the similarities end! Good luck!
Ha ha! Those are pretty crazy similarities!! I hope your marathon went well…!
@@global-runner Yours is a fascinating journey, and good luck. One of the things I really appreciate is your ability to both be super focused while also not being self-centered as you run in these events, giving everyone their appreciation for being out there and giving no vent to any feeling of frustration of people getting in the way of your high goal for the day, etc. You take it in stride and give props to the running community for being out there.
Thank you so much for saying this. I really appreciate it and it’s such a nice thing to say! Honestly, my best friend ran 2:09 in 1999 and I got to watch him grow into that from age 10, so while I may be faster than some, I definitely know I’m nowhere near that level! I like to say “at least I won’t lose my Nike sponsorship”! I love taking it seriously. But I definitely never want to take myself too seriously. :)
A performance like that on a twisty, awkward course shows you’re in great shape and ready. I’ve enjoyed following this journey and will be taking some inspiration to my own 14 week plan which started today. Good luck!
Thank you! I was very happy with yesterday. Definitely taking the positives from it! Which marathon are you doing? CIM?
@@global-runner It’s Malaga. Treating myself to some December sunshine away from the sideways UK rain 😄
Love that! Have fun in Malaga!
Fellow 50yr old runner here. Looking awesome-trust the taper and let the body super compensate. Really looking forward to your race.
Thanks for your comment. These are wise words! The taper demons are real. :)
I love this channel. I am a runner and I think reasonable for 63 (37 km trail race, 25 min 5km and can run hills, at altitude I live at 1300m, with a pretty low heart rate) but I am not in Global Runner's league but I still find these videos incredibly inspirational. I cannot wait to hear how the Montreal Marathon goes. I very much hope that you achieve it. What I find odd is that you don't have more (many more) followers and more views. The videos are so well done, interesting and relatable. I can only assume it is an algorithm thing and that Google doesn't "like" the videos. Best of luck for Montreal.
Thanks for this lovely comment! You are more than reasonable! That’s great work. The perfect way to stay young (and young at heart!) Thanks for your comment on the subscribers. Feel free to spread the word. :)
That looked absolutely amazing! I'm excited to see how the marathon goes.
It was a good day. I had a lot of fun out there. Just showed what happens why you don’t get carried away at the start! :)
This has been a great build to follow. Great work. This is such an inspiration to me. My goal is to one day run 2.29.59 so seeing you do it at your age is amazing.
It’s such an elusive target! Don’t give up on it. With the right work, I’m sure you’ll get there!!
Hope to see you at the starting line in Montreal man. Will cheers for you after my semi
Give me a shout and come say hi if you see me on the start line!
That was 🔥🔥🔥!!!
Thank you! I always love your comments!
The views were incredible to the point of distraction! Well done with the run! I am rooting for you to hit that goal!
They really are! What a place to be about to run. So lucky. Thanks for your comment!!
It's not a question of will you go sub 2:30, it's a question of how far below 2:30 will you go. Run the first half with your brain and the second half with your heart and it's gonna be a fast one!
Lol
Love this comment! Thank you! Great maxim too. Gotta run with heart the last 10k, that’s for sure!
@@global-runnerDo not want to be pessimistic, but your recent race results don't look way encouraging. Probably this is because of your recent injury, or you simply did not race at full strength. But IMO your fitness was better 2-3 months ago than now. I'll be happy if I'm wrong, and for sure wish you luck to achieve your goal! 🙂🤞
That’s interesting and no problem being realistic! That’s not pessimistic. I do think I was faster 2-3 months ago (you’re referencing the 16:22 5k, right?) so would probably have run a faster 10k or half back then but I definitely didn’t have the long runs and the marathon paced runs that I have now. You’re right that the injury impacted the amount of miles I could do but that’s part of it I guess - limited by an ageing body! :) Interestingly I have often had a feeling that I peak too early in my build. Maybe I need less time to build? Either way, nothing to do but taper now and give it everything on the day!
@@global-runner Don't let those thoughts take up any space in your head. They don't belong there.
Fantastic running! What a stunning course 😀. I really hope you smash that sub 2.30!
Thanks for your comment! Such an amazing course. Very lucky to be able to run there!!
Fantastic running! What a stunning course 😀. I really hope you smash that sub 2.30!
Thank you! Yes the course was so beautiful. Always good to have that as a distraction! Let’s go get this. :)
The Canmore tourist organisation should really pay you for these amazing views! Oh, and looking smooth going into the taper!
That’s right! I’ll get on to them about that! :) Thanks. Definitely taking the positives from yesterday.
What an incredibly scenic course that was! Great time especially considering the gravel and obstacles (other runners) you had to deal with. You’re right on track to give sun 2.30 a shake! 👍💪
Thank you! Yes Canmore is just the best place to run! I’m confident I’m in good shape. Let’s go make it happen!! :)
Nice one!
Thank you!!
Way to go Duncan, coming down from altitude will really help in Montreal lets hope its not too humid, other wise you are going to have a great marathon
Yes humidity will be a factor for sure. It’s super dry in calgary so I’m hoping for perfect weather - surely that’s not too much to ask for? :)
Either way you should nail it man, we'll all be watching
Thanks! Appreciate it!
OPERATE!!! 🙌
Ha ha! Operate mate. Operate.
What shoes were you wearing?
Vaporfly 3s
@@global-runner If you did the race over would you use the same shoes?
I would. Why do you ask?
I am turning 50 in November. I will be running the Montreal Marathon as well. This is my first Marathon and hopefully not my last. Your journey gives me hope to run a sub 3 hour in the future. Will you be meeting any UA-cam subscribers to your channel while in Montreal?
1974 vintage! The best! Good luck on your first marathon! I’m sure it’ll be a blast! I hadn’t actually considered that. Do you think anyone would turn up?!
@@global-runner a sign me up
I’ll put a shout out in a video and see if there’s interest!
Surely the 5000feet elevation is also a big factor. I am not sure by how much though.
It definitely would be. Less of a factor than in longer events I think but it is definitely slower up here (which of course is a positive for Montreal)
@@global-runner I googled "training at altitude 5000 feet" and top hit (based on Jack Daniels findings) suggests about 8-10secs/mile slower at 5000 feet. With gravel ~30 secs overall it makes your time more like 33min flat. Which I think puts you right in the slot for breaking 2:30, I think it will be quite close but definitely within your grasp. Something I did differently in my last marathon which I felt helped me to control my pace (windy course in places) was keeping current and last mile pace showing on my watch. Depends if the GPS signal is accurate though, there's parts of Chicago and London courses where that would be worse than useless! Look forward to seeing your result
Leading out from gun to tape also makes quite a bit of difference, it was really a solo time trial that. But checking recent results for Montreal, it looks like you should be ready to do the work on your own there too, any company is a bonus.
That’s true! Although I did have lots of people to chase! Montreal has a half so I’ll be running with people until 14k at least (I hope!). :)
These are great comments! Thank you. I like to keep overall average pace on my watch. Then I don’t freak out if im 3 seconds slow on a particular mile! :). But I do have it so I can change it to one mile at a time. Sometimes I do that later in the race.
I was in Canmore in Sept 2022 preparing to go on an 8-day trek with Yamnuska Mountain Adventures. It was a great trek over to Mt Assiniboine wrapping up at Mt Shark Trailhead. I had a chance to run a few KMs down the Bow Valley highway from my Air BnB before we headed out. Canmore is an awesome place to run and of course train. It has been fun watching your training. As a running coach, I have taken many notes from these vids. My client runs Sydney next week and Chicago in October where we're aiming for a 2:45. (Sydney will be more of a checkpoint run) Well done in this race!
Oh that’s a great hike! It’s such a wonderful part of the world. Thanks for your comment and I’m glad you got some benefit. Good luck to your client. I’m sure he will smash it!
Answering your question. No. But clearly the gravel, crowds and sharp turns slowed you down. Are you capable of a sub 2.30 at 50 (or 51)? I believe so and hope so. Good luck.
I agree. Objectively it’s not fast enough. But if you factor in the elevation and the gravel and the windy course, it starts to approach a time that might be…
Kinda funny; I'd have laughed at 35 minutes as a young man. Only WISH I could do that now. Good luck, sir.
34-and-a-half! Ha ha. Yeah we have to readjust. But there’s still so much fun to be had. :)
Love following your journey and I’m confident you’re going to hit your goal! I hope you have something lined up for after. It’s great seeing you put your plan to action.
Thanks for such a nice comment! Today was a good day. Gotta focus on that when the taper demons hit! :)
Love your build. Rooting for you. I’m turning 45 soon, but you’ve already proved to me that my best fitness lies ahead. Thanks for sharing your journey!
Thank you!! Appreciate it. Theres definitely life in us old dogs yet. :). Good luck on your goals!

Ha ha. That’s true. And I don’t know about you, but I’m feeling 22. :)
Beautiful scenery; i’ll be out the door tomorrow for sure. Thanks for inspiration.
I love hearing this!!!! Thanks so much for commenting.
Great work, all the hard work is paying off 👊
I think so. I do like doing a few races in the build. Helps with fitness and justifies all that training - it wasn’t just for one race!
Thanks for sharing your build...an enjoyable journey. Bonne chance in Montreal.
Thanks for watching!!! :)
