I just wanted to say a massive thank you for your advice! I got a 28 minute PR in the marathon yesterday. From 3.23 to 2.55
Lets goooooooooo!! Nice work and congratulations on the superior effort! 💪💪👊
Thanks for all of this, Nate. I broke 2:50:00 at Columbus in October (2:49:11) and was in control the entire race….and I did it without super shoes. I’ve been following your videos on UA-cam for a long time now, and several of your tips I have adopted now as “non-negotiables” in marathon training. A 20 week build is a non-negotiable. Sure, people can get away with less, but they are outliers. We can’t be looking for shortcuts. Multi pace long runs every other weekend is also a non-negotiable. Having at least 9 of these multi pace long runs in the rear view when stepping up to the starting line builds the body and builds the mind. No shortcuts. I ask need to be doing 60-70 miles per week in the last 4 weeks before taper. Maybe I could get away with 50, but I doubt it……it takes a lot of miles for my body to adapt. One way I possibly diverge is with the LSE miles (long slow easy). I do a lot of it based on heart rate measured through a chest strap, which equates to about 8:30-9:00 per mile for me, and I do the speed work inside the multi pace long run. Yeah….i’ve went sub 2:50 doing the majority of my miles at 8:30 or slower--it works for me. Doing the slow stuff between the ultimate long runs allows me to crush those long runs hard, and it’s my belief that those long runs are where the real money gets made.
Appreciate all you do!
Outstanding job dropping tha superior 2:49:11 in Columbus. Appreciate you sharing your throughs with the community. You're another example that if you want it badly enough there are no limits to what is possible. Wishing you continued success in 2024 and beyond.
Columbus is nice and flat I hope to do that as my first or second marathon ever this year.
💪 @Healthyrunningworld
Thanks, useful advice. I've done 3 marathons just a minute or so slower (2.50 / 2.51 / 2.51) so really hoping I'll finally break through to a sub 2.50 at this year's London marathon. As suggested, I'm trying longer tempo runs this year and I've built up my mileage and long runs much earlier than previous attempts, so I'll have a longer time to incorporate marathon pace within my long runs. I've always been a bit slower for shorter distances than my marathon time would suggest (only 17.29 for 5k), so also trying to work on my efficiency at threshold and vo2 max paces.
Keep up the superior training and racing and nice work dropping those marathon times, you are going to destroy sub 2:50.
this is exactly what I needed. thank you so much. good confirmation that I am on the right track so far!
You are so welcome. Keep up the great training and racing.
Just bought your Sub 2:50 plan…can’t wait to implement more of this speed work. Last marathon I ran (my 2nd marathon attempt) was 2:55:30 at Philly in November. Feeling a bit anxious with a shorter 12 week plan but coming off of stacking two previous training blocks so hope that helps carry me
VERY well done having dropped that 2:55:30, a HIGHLY competitive time and know you can run sub 2:50. Let me know how Philly goes brother.
I'm about 4 weeks into the 6 month- sub 2:50 plan I purchased. One thing I've noticed is how much I feel like strides are making a huge difference. I didn't do them nearly enough beforehand.
I did make a few adjustments to some of the overall mileage on the plan to where I'm at and can safely get to. It's been great so far though! Those workouts down the line have me a bit concerned but I can see how it all will build together. I'm already feeling pretty fit so excited to see where the next 20 weeks will get me. Thanks for always putting these videos together!
Keep up the great work herr800..know you are going to survive this and come out on top. Appreciate your support and wishing you continued success in 2024 and beyond
Great advice. Going back to Boston after 3:06 last year and just recently 2:59 at CIM. Hoping for sub 3:05 this year but the weather is always the mystery.
💪💪💪 congrats on dropping that 3:06 James and good luck going after that 3:59..know you are going to do it
Thank you coach ... today I run my marathon but my target was 2h45 as I was following your guidelines but I got 2h55 .... I just got cramp at around 26km
But I'm happy 😊 with the results as I'm from injuries
Congratulations on your new 2:55 marathon PR, a VERY competitive time. You will definitely get under 2:45 in due time. Keep us posted on your progress. Well done!
Thank you!
You're welcome! Keep up the great work out there on the roads and track Melissa. 💪💪💪💯
This is great coach - thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it! 💪💪💪
Great content as usual 👍
Glad you enjoyed it 😍😍💪💪🙏
Just broke sub 3 and now im here
Oh heeeccccckk yeah! Nice work dropping that sub 3, DD! You are well on your way to breaking 2:50 now. Keep me posted on your progress
I'm targeting a race in October in C-bus, would you suggest doing a 5k training block before hitting 6 month build up? This is for the 1/2. I am coming off several years off but have managed to build up my base miles up to average of 40-45 miles a week over the last couple months. Mostly easy runs with one long run a week...been doing one Vo2 max a week....but was wondering if i should work on more speed focused like 5 k speed to gain more aerobic high end leading into the block and maintain my mileage?
And good monring....Great Videos
Yes, working on your speed in a build up prior to starting for Columbus is a good idea. Also, it will keep you motivated. The faster you can get in these shorter races the better off you are going to be in the longer ones. Keep up the great work and let me know how Columbus goes.
@@rundreamachieve thank you for your input. This should be interesting as i'm now only training on very hilly terrain as we moved away to the mountains of VA. It will be interesting to see what I can do once I hit pancake flat terrain again...
💪💪💪💪
Thanks, coach. Always great content. Not that I am in 2:50 shape.. but I am trying to get under 3 hrs. The question I have is about the long run. you always preach to alternate your long runs. Would it be better to run fast, varied-paced, long runs every week? I run between 50-70 miles a week and besides my long runs/workouts, all my runs are easy. Whenever I do an easy long run, I am afraid that I am not adding enough to my fitness. Thanks again!
I wouldn't...mainly because you do want to adapt and recover...trying to run fast every weekend on top of speed workouts/tempo runs/hills/fartlek is asking a lot..so be weary of training too hard, too often. Hope this helps. Looking forward to hearing about your upcoming new PRs
Coach,
Strung together some 20 mile weeks after recovering from runner’s knee. Currently 16 weeks out from Pittsburgh half marathon - goal sub 90 mins. Looking to start incorporating some speed work into my training - threshold, 4x800m repeats, marathon pace LR. What distance/time to you recommend to start threshold runs as? Thinking 10min warmup, 10min threshold and 10 min cooldown. Thanks!
Good luck in your upcoming half marathon in Pittsburgh. Start off aiming for 3 to 4 mile tempo runs work to extend them out to around 6 to 9 miles in length. Threshold effort for an athlete seeking to run 1:29:59 is around 6:44 mile pace. Hope this helps.
@@rundreamachieve thanks. That pace is right where I was planning to be at after reading Jack Daniel's. I'll keep you posted.
💪💪💪💪
Hi there... How do I direct message you?
you can email at nathanpennington at protonmail dot com
Odd that you prescribe a pace for “easy” runs. Those paces vary from 7:40 to 8:45 for me. Depending on need for recovery
yep, sounds about right Jake...keep up the great work brother
will never be able to. awed at those that can and do
💪💪💪💪
