- Massive shout out to the guys at @High5SportsNutrition for supporting my first marathon. The man has a brand to help me not hit the hated marathon wall. These guys have sent me all my fuelling and I hope to stay with them for the future if it all works out.
In this video, I will take you through everything I will be using. from electrolytes to fuelling to recovery.

This video is brought to you by your friends at High 5 Sports Nutrition. 😂 Just kidding, fun vid as usual. 👍 I'm not preaching to the choir, but please make sure to practice your race nutrition. Nothing new on race day.
😂😂😂it actually is though, literally. I’m nowhere near trying to be an influencer but you always have to show gratitude! I’m blessed man!
@@AubreyRunning Indeed you are.
I think you should carry that last gel....juuuuust in case. Going to start practicing my long runs with them in awhile. All the best at Berlin
I think you’re right, better to have it and not need it, I’m definitely carrying it.
Good luck bro! Have you got a time in mind?
I would love to do anything faster than 4:30. But truthfully the goal is to make it back in one piece 😂😂😂😂
That’s the same with me for London next year 💪🏼
Naked belt 🫡
I’ve heard so much about these and will check them out.
Aubrey, you're awesome man but why aren't you purchasing your own gels/hydration, researching what's best for you then deploying it in the marathon itself? Majority of your YT peers are self-funding their own kit and/or aren't sponsored. I don't know, seemed jarring when you started this vid saying you reached out to a handful of people asking for free stuff in the name of "support"...
Good question and I’m happy to answer it, I’m sure you’ll agree that that’s exactly what I’ve done throughout. The reason is simple David, I have a family to look after and those finances have so many uses. If a brand can support me with providing such products and hopefully eventually start sponsoring race preparation series, I can put my money to different use.
Secondly, in the future I hope together sponsored for these videos and the series. One thing that that will do for me, is to allow me to get things like running shoes that I review on this channel because I don’t really get a lot of pre-release shoes. So getting shoes for review will be beneficial.
I’m a family man sir and I want to remove all expenses associated with running and even better, I hope to earn an income from all this hard work that is UA-cam. This is the best way to do that. Not everyone will agree but this is certainly MY reason.
@@AubreyRunning I hear you man 100%, and I don't doubt your intentions are honourable, but there's something a little unsettling about saying you want to remove all expenses associated with an activity you clearly enjoy doing. Why? Because it has the potential to remove the one thing all the best content providers have: authenticity.
You are my favourite YT running channel right now, so I think everyone would just want you to keep it real, that's all!
Wishing you all the best for Berlin man, you're going to have the most amazing experience!! You'll crush it.
I can't believe you got SNUBBED! (Lol)... I bet that won't happen after this coming weekend though! GAHH! I'm so excited for you-- this is going to be so much fun!
Hehehehee, man was humbled 😂😂😂. I get it though, it’s an expense to these companies of there is no return for them. I’m learning a lot on this journey. Let’s keep going and see what comes of it.
Good Stuff.. Best wishes this weekend 🎉🥇☝🏿
Let’s goooo!!! Thank you so much.
Fantastic video! Shout out to HIGH5, and good luck in the marathon! 💯
Yeah man… it’s crazy. Very grateful that they are supporting me. It’s actually mad. Let’s go run this thing.
Rabbit Shredsters and Nike Trail makes Half Tights with a lot of storage for gels and things 💪🏿
Yeah I have used the Nike ones. The only thing is that I don’t think the Adizero half tights I will be using having pockets. I will be running with adidas and they may provide shorts or half tights when I get there, so the plan is to be prepared for all eventualities
@@AubreyRunning 💪🏿🥇
I'm a big fan of High 5 - really easy to digest. Just a note, the aqua gels are designed to be consumed without water. The normal gel should be consumed with water to support it's digestion and get those good sugars into your bloodstream. Aim for 40-60 grams of carbs per hour if your stomache can manage it 😊 good luck! We're all rooting for you!
Yeah the way I have trained with them is that I have had water with me throughout. Wther it’s pure water or a drink mix I have had water and will do so on marathon day. But to be honest, the way these are textured, I’m perfectly fine without having the water immediately
Have a great run and just have fun. I'm a big fan of Janji half tights
I have ever ran in them, let me check them out. Thank you for your well wishes and support
I was waiting for that packaging to be worn as a wig 😂
You’re giving me ideas my man… cardboard Jackson 5 Afro coming right up
@@AubreyRunning 😂
Great all this Aubrey. Well equipped
I’m all set, grateful to the team at high 5 for getting me ready with the fuelling plan.
All the best for this weekend.
Oh man, I can’t wait for it. I’m super excited for it. I am ready for it and must say this is one of the best and biggest things to ever happen to me.
Good luck! You’re ready 2 go!
I think so too… marathon training is very hard work. It’s go time
Yes Hi-5 I've been training with. They are smaller at 40g than other brands so easy to carry 6or7 of them. Personally i find my "Instinct Ambition 4.5lt" hydro vest better than my marathon belt as the vest is very lightweight, minimal & breathable without making you sweaty. I carry around 7 gels, dried dates, a couple of soft flasks with Tailwind. Done lots of long runs over 32k like this & it works for me. But Sure marathon belts have their place & work well for many people, all the best with your marathon 💪🏼🏃🏽♂️
Yeah I love my hydration vest for training. I feel like the belt is much more minimalistic especially for the marathon. Let’s face it, largely for the pictures and videos 😂😂😂
I noticed your coffee ☕ machine in the background, I have a Delonghi Dedica expresso machine & it seems most runners love their coffee ☕ maybe a video in the making of Post run recovery including coffee machines going hand in hand with post run fuel 😁👍🏼
Yeah I love that machine, but the Mrs loves it even more. You’re right, runners always feature coffee in the routine especially UA-camrs 😂😂😂
Best of luck Aubrey in Berlin, you've prepared well and you're gonna be great
Thank you so much… it’s officially game time! Cheers 🥂
Hi Aubrey, I'm new to your channel but have been binging on your videos. 2 questions - why did thomas discourage you from bringing the hydration backpack? Just curious, and secondly are you running the NY marathon this november?
It too much to carry for 42.2K on a course that is well provided for with both water and Maurten drinks. I’ve learned the marathon is very different and the less weight and things you carry the better.
@@AubreyRunning got it! Thanks for this tip!
Good luck Aubrey!! Give them hell this weekend!!
Let’s go!!! Thank you so much… I expect nothing less.
shoes of the race Aubrey? video incoming
Dropping on 25 September at 9am UK time.
See u in berlin !!😅 good luck
Let’s go!!! I can’t wait and wish the same for you.
High5 Aqua really helped me with my new half PB in CPH (1:39:38)
Love the content Aubrey, although I was sad you didn’t run the CPH half! 😊
That’s a quick time! I think at some point next year I will look to get a quick time for mine which stands at 1:55 but first have to get these marathons out of the way.
So I’ve used Powerbar gels since Berlin marathon in 2015 because I learned that’s what they were giving out on the course and I’ve used them ever since because they work for me a wouldn’t consider trying anything different. So on marathon day I have 7 of them in my kiprun trail shorts and equal amount of salt tablets. A gel and a salt tablet every half an hour. Don’t carry drinks there’s plenty on the course and trust me Aubrey the least you have to carry the better. Every gram counts 🫡
After all that, I didn’t replenish what they sent and now using Maurten
