In this video I tried to run a marathon in 60 days. I've always wanted to run a marathon, and I was excited to start my marathon training. In this video we talk about my running cool down, runners body maintenance, running technique, running cadence and tempo and show my first marathon experience. Hope you guys like it!
Have a great week guys! Cheers.

Every Step Hurts. Worth it
So some guy ran a marathon, died and people thought "hey I'll have what he's having".
this dude (Pheidippides) didn't just run 42k, he run 245km in 2 days as the myth says
@@MHWGamer they confuse Spartathlon with Marathon... he ran 245 km and apparently also ran back... making it close to 500km... messenger in Marathon was a soldier that died..
MHWGamer must have been a fit dude
🤣🤣🤣
Sebastian Tri on a distance of 38 km however in full amour
”We got snacks at the end” true friendship right there
Victor Astream for real
That's how you know it's real.
The fact that you did your first marathon BY YOURSELF and without the support of a crowd and other runners, that is really impressive. Wow
Alex Oswald support can help :) studies have shown that humans can push themselves further by motivation from others.
@@burger1579 regardless of the intrinsic motivators being surrounded by a cheering crowd will always increase perceived effort and motivation. dont know why youre arguing against that
Thank you!
Not taking it away from this man and the effort. But how do you think majority of the people do this? There are a lot of people out there achieving many personal milestones and happy not publishing it on social media.
Like I said I take nothing away from his effort, hope he runs many many more.
Yep. But that way there is no way for us to know he really did a full-marathon. If it was an event with plenty of people, it's difficult to cheat.
Last year I went from not being able to run one mile to running a marathon 10 months later, and I thought that was ambitious. 60 days?! 🤯
If you are skinny and have been running for years, it's possible
Wally Gee yeah. I was starting from zero. Generally fit but zero cardio endurance.
didnt he say he was already running?
Charisma he did and was clearly already able to run a respectable distance. But having run one, I still think 60 days of training, even if already a casual runner, is pretty impressive.
How did the marathon go?
“And promptly, died”.
Great job! I really like how this channel doesn’t just show the triumphs, but shows the challenges and obstacles along the way.
So what challenges are you overcoming in life?
💁🏽♂️
:)
Kirstie Moore Exactly, life always has some challenges on the way. But I love how he approached his injury with curiosity and a positive outlook on how to become even better. Like the stoics say The obstacle is the way!💪
I JUST started running today and I can’t even imagine running for 4 hours straight... hopefully one day I can do it.
It's worth it Krista! Download a running app to help keep you going. Set a goal for yourself! It may not be in 60 days, or even a year, but when you get to participate in these races where everyone is cheering you on there is no better feeling.
I recommend setting 5K as a goal first, and then 10K. Then a half-marathon. Slow is better than too quick and prevents injuries! And do some runner specific strength training 1-2 times a week, because that prevents injuries as well.
I couldn't imagine finishing a marathon as Spiderman. At the end of the year I want to achieve a qualifying time for Boston. Good luck on your journey. If you need some tipps or tricks feel free to say hi on my IG :D - herodna
Keep at it you'll get there!
Mitchell Guist what app?

“How you doing buddy?”
“Ahhrjgh”
hahaha
You would have a more enjoyable time in an actual city marathon. That crowd helps so much. Well done.
I could've used some cheering especially on those last 10kms
@@GoalGuys I'd say so! You're still an absolute inspiration regardless. This channel is changing people's lives
Fantastic job brother - the struggle with injury, the agony in the last 5 km, even the place where you ran it made me nostalgic for my first marathon from last June. So cool :)
Thank you!
"I'm just in pain. everywhere."
as a marathoner myself I can relate to that
Pretty much sums it up!
I’ve done 43....they all hurt just like the first
I've always admired people that run marathons. I am an athlete and I never tried it. After 5 km I get super bored and tired. I can't even imagine going 8 times more.
What do you mean by, you're an athlete?
@@DefHobbz I played volleyball professionally for 7 years and trained ever since I was 11.
@@FearlessDreams Not athlete, but athletic. Eh it doesn't matter too much tbh. Keep up the good work
Train , Train, and, Train dude what??? He is an athlete you moron
I'm training for my first half and the boredom is a real struggle but like you usually play team sports. Have just organised someone to run with so hoping that will help
@1:16 watching his heels land first hurt my whole body
It didn't hurt my whole body but it did hurt my calf
SAME! I saw that and wanted to yell in sympathetic pain, I was just imagining the shock traveling up his leg bones O_O
You forgot the several hundred miles Pheidippides ran before the battle, to sparta and back asking for help.
5 km to go, body cramping, legs ruined to shiite, pain with every step and your mind begging you to quit...that is when you find yourself and discover who you are and what you're made out of. Respect to you my friend.
You’d be surprised how much faster you would run in an actual race..race day magic is a thing!
I would've loved some of that race energy.
The training required for a full vs. a half is huge! Congrats on a respectable time.
You're right about that. Thank you!
Love this!!!! Training this winter for my first marathon in June! next you should do a triathlon!!!
Triathalon would be fun! Good luck with your marathon training!!
The difference between half and full is enormous. You never know how different until you do it. Training for my first and only marathon, I regularly ran 13 or more miles. But completing the full 26.2 is something else.
What a great video. The cinematography is extremely underrated I think. Great work man.
Thank you!
love your channel bro, keep going!
Good job, your progress is amazing!
Thank you!
This was amazing! great job dude! it's huge
Thank you!
Your friends are awesome dude. Super big congrats on that marathon, you were incredible
They really are! Thanks Krister.
The production quality in this one was great!
But please don't hurt yourself. If you need to stop, do.
Thank you!
As always, one GREAT VIDEO. One thing i miss from this video is any explanation of how you setup your running routine, what principles it involved or if you got it made from some specialist.
6:31 “Taking every caution possible to avoid reinjuring myself” *shows clip of him running on concrete*
Vincent not everyone could trail run, I only got pavement by where I live
This dude probably injured the fuck out of himself making this video, really dumb to run a marathon with an injured calf. Good video though
Heel striked his way to 42.2 km, no wonder he felt broken.
I had no other choice :(
I'm going to run my first half marathon in a few months. I love seeing you guys do stuff like this, because I know if I train right that I can do it too! Hope your leg heals up and you can get back out there :)
Exciting!! Good luck mate!
I really enjoyed the video!
I did my 1st marathon when I was 42yo, now my next big challenge is to be set: 50km with 50yo.
Congrats for your dedication and thank you to share the pain and suffer with us.
You worked hard for that and hung in there at the end. Persistence is everything, well done dude. Well deserved.
Thanks mate!!
So proud of you. I hope I can run a marathon this year. Thank you for the inspiration.
I hope you can too!!
From someone who runs 100km (60 miles) a week, get off the concrete! Your legs will love you for it. I got a stress fracture 3 weeks out from my first marathon making the same mistake and came back a year later with better training to run 2 hours 39 mins
I don't know where else to run though.
I live in the city, though there is a beach. How about running in the sand for training? And there is a mountain with some dirt trails, but it is pretty up and down. Which is better: on concrete flat or on a dirt trail on a mountain with lots of up and down? Thanks!
@@P.Gillett A good mix of everything. But don't forget the asphalt. Your legs need to get used to it...
where are you supposed to run? please answer
@@mike2207 A track is already softer than concrete (unless, you know, the track is made of concrete). But the best way is to run on trails. And you typically get hill training as a bonus!
Holy sht them landscapes are BEAUTIFUL!!! Good job, man. Good job.
Thanks mate!
This is an awesome video, really enjoyed it.
Thanks!
Love the running shots, guys!
Thank you!
Well edited video :D
This motivated me to get off the couch and exercise
That's awesome to hear mate!
As a 3:07 marathoner and Boston qualifier I'm in awe and am jealous you ran a 4:09 off of such minimal training. I wouldn't be surprised if your ceiling with proper training is well under 3 hours.
Woh! thank you!!
That's awesome inspiring feat.. congratulations on your maiden marathon in a fantastic Way
i ran a marathon with 7 training runs. 1 run a week for 7 weeks. I hadn't even run a 5k race before and jumped straight into the marathon distance, i thought i was going to die near the end but i finished in 4hrs 40 that was 4 years ago. Now i am going for 3hrs15 in London Marathon this year :)
No one cares
@@seanmann8787 you cared enough to comment 😂
@@km-co2ws no cares
@@seanmann8787 You are probably some old man living in your mom's basement and getting jealous that Belfast Dashcam is running a marathon while you are eating donuts. Pipe down.
@@mahirahnaf7637 very true regarding sean 😂 reading my original post back though it does cime across that im looking for some kind of praise but in reality just trying to show that anyone can do the marathon.
Congrats to your first marathon.
You surprised me though when you said that you felt a big difference between 21 and 42 km, personally I always felt that when i'm able to run 21 I can run forever.
I competed in ultra many years ago and have not ran since 2007, will pick it up this summer again, I'll keep what you said in mind and see if I this time can feel much of a difference between half/full.
Thanks mate! Good on you for the ultra. Hope getting back into running goes well for ya!
Just start the video and I feel the shin splits even tho I have not watch it yet
You're making me manifest it and I haven;t finished c25k
Halima Abshir I am really sorry for you. I hope that you will be able to restart your training’s soon!!
@@GuiRoul I'm doing well, I've become scared of shin splits though. I've been training for a solid month now
@@HalimaAbshir That's perfect then, if you are doing ok now! I understand you on the part of being scared. I have the same one for more than 3 month now and every times im doing plyos I need to stop. So I just don't know what to do (as a sprinter) I need to increase my explosivity by doing plyos, but in the gym with heavy weights I do not feel that it is translating well to the track
@@GuiRoul What are pylos? Have you tried going to a local running store? There are employees there who are able to give you more hands on help
One way I transitioned into shorter strides way easier was looking at my shadow on easy runs and trying to keep my head on a even path with no bounce. It really helps with stress on the body and speed .
Thanks for this video you inspire many people
A tip for the ice bath. Where layers up top, a knit hat, and have a hot cup of tea!
Great time for only 60 days training 👏 👏 👏... Also amazing camera shots during the training montage 👌 📸
Thank you!
Loved this video!
Thank you!
I've been running for a couple years now. Went from zero (and I mean zero, no ancillary working out either) to a half marathon at month 11. It was a lot. So much, in fact, that I developed ITBS a week later and spent most of the next 3 months not running.
Which is why when I saw "marathon with 60 days of training" I thought, "this dude is going to hurt himself." The 8 week recovery seemed about right since that will allow strains, shin splints, and stress fractures enough time to heal. Hard to say what you had without an MRI, but clearly the resting worked. I've spent nearly either resting from two separate bouts of shin splints and the slowly grinding mileage back up by 10% a week. It's extremely frustrating, especially since the rest of you is fine.
Glad to see the finish. It's too bad nearly all of the races since March have been virtual since the race atmosphere is very unique and it evokes all sorts of unexpected emotions. I nearly cried after my first 5K race and the first half. I also get butterflies in my stomach when approaching the end of every race, but never during the training runs. It's amazing, and I hope you (and all of us) get to enjoy it again in the near future.
Be proud! Awesome job!
I wanna see the Goal guy brothers compete with each other to see who can greatly improve their VO2 max for six to twelve months training.
10:48 I couldn't sit like this and stand up without help after my first marathon, I would completely cramp up
The soreness the day after was brutal.
I was training for a marathon (I'm definitely not a runner), eating clean and working out. Lost 60 lbs during the 8 months of training, started fasting because I wanted to lose a bit more before the marathon anddddd I got really sick. Went to the doctor was physically drained and was told to eat more. So I ate and ran and got better, the time was getting SOOOOO good and the distances kept growing but something was off. My body inside had this weird pain inside that came when I was at my most relaxed. Well, 1000 miles later and 70 lbs lost, I'm pregnant! So it's been seven months since finding out and I'm still running every other day but the marathon is on hold. Maybe a half after I give birth?
Wow that's incredible! Congrats on everything
Omg my eyes are watering. Congratulations
haha thank you!!
I can relate.... especially to the part at 11:04 - 11:08
hahaha
Pheidipides actually ran from Athens to Sparta (150miles) in 2 days... and then back. Every year there is a run from Athens to Sparta called the Spartathlon
For me it's always a hip issue. It sucks when you put in all that training and you have to delay. Great job, man! I think it'd be much harder to run that far without a crowd around you.
Yeah injuries can really get ya down. Appreciate it mate.
Matthew Thompson I know exactly what you mean I had Wilfred for state in all my events except the 2 mile in track and then I injured my hip really bad and had to stop it’s been a year now and I am still recovering and I miss running and always feel so sad when I hear about other people being injured and a their hard work being put to waste makes me really sad 😔
Great work man, all the best for your future runs. Just a quick question since I'll be doing long runs (25k+) myself shortly...how do you keep yourself hydrated? I was thinking of getting a hydration vest as a fix...thoughts or feedback? Thanks!
I know a few people that use a belt with water bottles on it. The routes that I run typically have fountains around that I use.
Goal Guys thanks for the reply, a belt in my case prolly won’t work as I’m looking to run distances upto 30k+...anyway after looking into it, a small vest would make more in my case :)
I trust that you have listened to the Two Gomers podcast. It’s the funniest thing about two guys trying running. They go off on tangents about their families and movies.
Never heard of it!
How does this channel not have over a million subs cause they do more work and their channel is better than most Channels
Great job!
Would you be able to upload a link to your training schedule? I've got a marathon coming up too and I'd like to pick your brain!
Thank you! Umm, not sure how or where to upload it, but the structure of my training is laid out at 1:12 If you have any other questions message me on instagram @goalguysinsta
1:11 - Immediately knew you'd get injured with that form
Yeah me too lol
Whyy ?? (Would like to know what was bad 👀)
@@andreasgamardo2860 Heel striking
@@andreasgamardo2860 big fat heel strike
andreas gamardo heel strike, massive over stride, lot of vertical oscillation. All meaning added wear on legs.
Pro tip. Carb loading only works if you do it for at least a week before hand. Of course there’s nothing wrong with having a lot of pasta the day before a race but it’s not helping you build up your carb and glycogen storage.
Maybe an official marathon soon??? That would be cool to see how much you progressed!! Great work
This is the running story right here, haha. Good job ,man.
Would have liked to see how you did/recovered that following week. But great work!
Now that you have run a marathon, let me introduce you to the crazy fun world of ultra running - where a marathon is your long run :-)
Well done on toughing it out and making the distance. No matter who you are, it's never easy.
So you did really well.
haha I'm going to try and get a few more marathon under my belt before I venture into ultra running!
You want a real legend? Yannis Kouros.
btw. Props for constant quality improvements. This one feels soooo good to look at.
Thank you! I'll have to check out Yannis Kouros!
Thought you meant it took you 60 days to complete,I was thinking “I could maybe do that”
Be smart with this video. The takeaway advice (that is not given by the way) is : take the time your body need to adapt (certainly not 6 weeks for a marathon). Everybody want to have instantly what they want (modern life). Just take the time, enjoy the process, listen your body and adapt.
And in the big picture you will gain time. Because you will be less likely to be injured ;)
What kind of fueling did you do mid-run? I didn’t even think about it until the end. Would be crazy if you did it all with no fuel.
Guid lad, well done, how long did you take?
Beating "The Wall" the most common barrier in which all runners face!
What were your water and supplements points during the marathon? Salt tablets and caffeine tablets are good
Big well done & an awesom job! You could easily easily get under 4 hours! Substitute a run for a strength based bike session, add in a 20min body weight/gym/pilates strength routine 2x per week and see your physio once a month religiously!!
This...strength work is good in general but critical as distance goes up. If your body can't take the beating...it will be rough.
Thank you!!
Congratulations, good job
Thanks!
I dont like to see anyone strugle but I am happy to watch something that feels more realistic for someone who is not a runner
Presentation was top notch
Thank you!
Love you man
Had me teary eyed @ the end wtf
lol that's awesome!
Made me wanna run a marathon!
Do it buddy!
Great time . 4 hours 9 mins. Did 22km this morning, I have a marathon in 8 weeks , I need to build up gently it seems . Thanks.
That looked like a beautiful place to run!
I'm really lucky to live in a very beautiful part of the country :)
Doesn't running on the forefoot increase pressure on the calves? Did the running coach know about your calf strain?
_aliem2 I think the way it works is that running on the forefoot actually works and stretches the muscle, while heel running just jars and shocks it.
Something like that
I was thinking the same thing. Should’ve asked the physio about forefoot running with a calf strain. I was worried he had a DVT initially, but I’m sure they screened him for that.
Fore to midfoot strike is ideal. Too much heel to toe drop in a shoe can jack your calves up though.
Nicole Beck I know it’s the ideal gait pattern for running but a higher heel toe drop would put more stress on your anterior tibialis if anything right?
Yeah the trainer knew about my injury. I was aiming for a fore to midfoot strike with his coaching.
What’s the name of the basketball book on your coffee table at 3:02

Awesome!!!!
Any normal person who go from zero to 70km per week is just begging to get himself injured.. just totally reckless...
wangshuishui2121 he didn’t go from zero. He mentioned he’s done half marathons before.
@@maazz111 No, he said with little training he was close to running a half marathon distance, so he wanted a harder challenge and went for full marathon distance.
Saagster in the end he says he ran half a marathon in under 2 hours with 5 weeks of training. He’s done it before
I was running casually for a while before this, but nothing intensive.
Ur far bro chill
I love your videos! It’d be really cool if you did something like learning to play the piano in a month
Thanks! Could be fun!
you guys always put real work into your videos not like ppl who just eat some dumb food for clicks..
Thanks mate!
Yea two months is really not a lot of time especially if you have not been running. I'd recommend building your fitness level up and run some shorter races first before jumping into a full marathon. You don't want to tough it out and hurt joints and soft tissues pull things and be hurting for months because you pushed your body beyond what it was ready for. I have run a few half marathons and my prep for those is usually been about a month but I really should be training more. For a full I definitely would want to put in at least 4 to 6 months of decent training else I'd probably be jogging really slow the 2nd part of the race just to finish and could risk pulling something end up with an injury. I did a virtual half marathon during covid couple years ago by myself and I did not drink any water the whole time and I didn't eat for about a day either before I ran it and I finished around 2hr 25min. I think half my half marathons I probably only slept about 5-6 hours before the race. my usual pace is around 10 min mile or so. I did train a few months once and that one i finished in 1hr 50min and felt better and stronger at the end so more training really makes it better for you.
This was shot extremely well!
Thank you!
New York? Post next time you’re here Id love to meet you!
Maybe next time bb :)
Awesome channel. You guys should do a challenge to row 2000m in under 7 minutes
Pheidippides didn't run "a marathon and then died". He ran round trip between Athens and Sparta, then roundtrip between Athens and Marathon. So, closer to *14* (!) .

Yhey happy for you.
Good job!
Actually, ice baths should only be used during race week, not as part of training because it constricts your blood vessels. If you want to promote healing and reduce injury, you should take a hot bath. Heat expands the vessels which allows blood to flow more efficiently which promotes healing quicker.
So many people think a marathon is just double the half, which it is in distance, but not on what it does to your body. I can jump in and run a half marathon anytime with my normal mileage base but a full? That's another kind of beast. It usually takes people double the time of their half plus 30 minutes to finish it and your body is so beat from pounding the pavement. I've only done 3 of them and they kick my butt each time.
I ran a half marathon after a month and a half of training and now my ankle is sore when I run and to touch.
To avoid running injury take things slowly don't rush into long runs.
I think it’d be interesting to see you train for a sub 7 minute 2k (ergometer)
Wohhhh that'd be cool!
At least you trained for it. I'm honestly a bit annoyed by the videos popping up all over UA-cam of people attempting to run a marathon or Iron Man without any training. They seem to take it as a joke when running isn't a joke. Runners are athletes who put a lot of physical and mental energy into their training, and sacrifice countless of hours and much soreness to get to where they want to be. I, myself, am a runner and consider myself an athlete, and as a runner I understand how much I have to sacrifice to get to where I want to be, and I have high respect for this sport and my fellow runners.
Danique Tersmette if you’re aiming for a good time that’s fine, but you don’t need to gate keep. There’s a reason those video makers find it funny, because they know it triggers the self-important runners who barely finish ahead of them.
