"2:00 Watching humans run this fast and hold an easy conversation is ... depressing." - You'd be surprised how fast you actually run (regardless of ability) at a conversational pace. For sure, looking at this pace in 'real time' behind a camera as they pass trees, sign posts, etc, does look daunting, but the next time you're on a run fix your eyes on a marker and then 5 seconds after you pass it, look back and see how far you've travelled. You might be surprised. In addition, these guys might be able to hold a conversation at this pace for the benefit of filming for a short distance, but they might not be able to hold it as an 'easy run' for a longer distance.
Great! Thanks for asking. Have been hitting the 16 mile mark to gear up for the vancouver marathon on May 6 and for whistler Ironman 70.3 have been keeping up with regular weekly swims and runs. Have not been so good at keeping up with the biking on trainer road. Live in Canada so biking in winter sort of sucks. You guys should do a special series and convince Emma pooley to do a triathlon :)
6 weeks to my first half marathon as preparation for IM 70.3 Zell am See this summer. Thank you GTN for all the interesting 'How to's' and other videos.
I like these kinda video. But can we have a normal goal like under 2 hours or 2 hours 30 (for one of them?) I did 15km in 1hr25m and you guys make me feel slow. Haha
Actually, Dan brings up an idea for two GTN videos: "What to do before, at, and after a Bike Aid Station" and the same at a Run Aid station. Focusing on how to get ready, take the hand up, and how to drop the stuff. You can do a video for the athletes and another for the volunteers. The big thing at the run is to pinch the cup to reduce its width so more water ends up in your mouth and not on your shirt. I found this works well for paper cups. I did one race that had plastic cups and thy exploded when I tried it.
Binge watching your videos for a few days now. I've done an ultra and several marathons before but your insights are really helpful for me to improve. Thank you so much from 🇵🇭
Best decisions I ever made for 1/2 marathon prep was buying a treadmill and getting on Zwift. Without the consistency, I've been mostly training to finish. Now I am training to win.
After a quite a few halfs, my suggestion for drinking water is to just slow down. It's much more important to get that water in quick and get your breathing back in check, if you get small cups of water, not bottles. You can easily make up the time you lost, as it's gonna be just a few seconds. This is what I do and tbh I've never lost a place I couldn't get back because of drinking water and felt better afterwards. Good luck! :D
So important to set a realistic goal time Nothing wrong with setting a good challenge as long as you do the training to back it up A lesson ive learned over the years Ive run hundreds of training runs over 21k over the years and run quite a few organised 1/2 marathons and full marathons Ill never be in their league Im a 1:50 1/2 runner and 4:00 marathon runner with a My realistic goals are 1:45 and 3:45 Ill get there one day 🏃♂️👍
Really cool video I've done my first half maraton at 15 with small time put into training so i ended up with time 1:49 And now at 16 on asphalt course finished with time 1:37 Between this races/runs i strarted doing MTB and after that road cycling which i starting to like more and more So for the next season I am planning to start triathlon need just to swim often ❤️ GTN lots of helpful video and how to's
For the first time in several years I won't be running a spring half marathon, postponing it in May. I like to kickstart my season with these though. In terms of clothing it's often quite cold at this time of year, you might want to wear thin gloves especially if it gets humid. Never run a race with brand new shoes either, break them in. Since your running nutrition isn't dialed in here are a couple of things to do/avoid: make sure you never eat chocolate because these will make you super thirsty. Why they distribute this at half marathons around here is something I don't understand. Slices of apple is good. Gels aren't always provided so you might want to bring your own if you can. Also drink while taking little sips at a time rather than drinking a lot at aid stations. What I like to do is having a little bottle and fuel it with whatever liquid they provide at aid-stations, or if they give little bottles I drink from it every now and then and give it back at the next aid station (or whenever there's a dedicated area for waste). If your watch beeps every kilometer it could be a good time to remind you of this.
Did my first half marathon last year as a 17year old in 1:56 (target of 2hours) raising £500 for Cancer Research.... didn’t think that was too bad considering I hated running back then!!
Please consider training all the GCN presenters up for a Triathlon (starting from Sprints and probably progress to ironman distance. It would be a great lessons where we all (as trainers and trainees) could learn along the way!
I’m going to be running the Sheffield Half Marathon which basically has a big hill for the first 9km, so trying to pace km splits is basically out of the window. My plan is to rely on RPE / HR to help me pace to the top, and then push on when I hit the downhill
First remarks on the running footage:- Dan's running looks very well. He just could use a slightly higher cadence to be more efficient (I know what I'm talking of - I'm 6 feet 2 inches (1.9 m) myself and took me years to accept a higher cadence beats a wide stride. I have done my PB 1:26:11 for HMT with a cadence of 182 but 190 would have been better though).- Heather shows a lot of bouncing compared to Dan especially in the slo-mo. Check with a smart sports watch or video footage.- Mark' running style reminds me of Lionel Sanders in Kona 2017 (I hope Mark was not injured when this video was recorded)My remarks are not intended to be offensive - I'm just occupied a lot with running style and efficiency these days.My comments on training:- 3 x 3 k intervals slightly below race pace will increase confidence to tolerate race pace. Shorter and faster intervals will help with lactacte processing.My comments on nutrition:- eat few/some carbonhydrates (porridge, bread with honey/ jam) for breakfast; eat a gel with some water to compensate any warm-up / physical exercise before going to the start block. Also drink exhaustively for breakfast and at the event's venue (and get rid of excess water before warming up)- don't eat during the HMT - under 90 minutes, the muscular glycogen should be fine. What you eat during the race might not get in the muscles where it is needed during but might get you some trouble in the race- don't dring during the race. If it is very hot - pour water above your head and Body for cooling. Water that you drink during the race will not arrive in these body parts where it is needed during the race. For runners slower than 90 min, disregard these comments. For half distance triathletes - do the nutrition work on the bike. It is just easier.
Dan is the man ! Never ran more than 15km, wants to outrace Heather on half. No ordinary man could dream of this. Fortunately or unfortunately, Dan is no ordinary man.
I love if you pace yourself in the beginning; how (at least I am) your able to go faster at the end, with the cheering of the crowd and racing who ever is able to keep your pace to win 😏
So, is Dan Lloyd a surprise registration for a next weekend HM and he didn't run more than 1 hour until now? In any case, rooting for you, Dan. Have a fun time and a good finish time. 90 minutes is a good target.
Did my first Half Marathon on the same day this video was posted. I missed going under 2 hrs by just a minute. I should have given myself more buffer in the first half but I was more concerned with just finishing.
I'm planning on doing a 10 miles in September, first one in a couple of years. The one I did was very hilly and I finished just over 1:30. This one's gonna be fast and flat, so definitely looking to improve on that. It's 2 weeks after my main triathlon this year (Embrunman OD), so the shape should be good.
Your guys need to work on your audio mastering. Volume in the voice sections of the video is way too low compared to the loud music. Great Video though! Keep up the good work!
Perfect! Please suggest a 3 month plan for a fast HM - including diet and workouts and mental preparation. Whenever I run, my first few miles are the slowest and the last few fastest - why? Even if I warm up beforehand?
Hi GTN, love your videos! :) I have a question: Could a placeboeffect about aerodynamics make you faster? For exemple if someone tells me that I will save secounds per Kilometers on the bike with for exemple a new helmet with is more aero where in reality it is actually not more aero then the one I am useing, would I then ride faster because I think it makes me faster? :)
Interesting question! I have to say, I think there is an element of placebo effect with things like that. There's nothing better than putting race wheels on your bike, or some racing flats on for a run session. It feels faster, but maybe that's just the noise of the race wheels that makes me think it must be faster. Obviously some products are quite clearly faster, but I certainly think some stuff comes down to you just believing in it, therefore having confidence in it. Maybe something we can test....I might have to think about that though :)
The Bath Half Marathon 2018 they were supposed to go was apparently cancelled due to snow. Shame they did not manage to do any other race to let us see the results..
how many times a week do u do strength training? Is strength training at the gym absolutely necessary for runners? If yes what kind of workouts will help achieve a sub 2 hour half marathon ?
I never ran long distance in my life and I wanna do a half marathon in October with training starting 1. of August. If you are experienced can you pls tell me if its possible to prepare by then and give me some tips pls. (Im 17 years old, 5 foot 8 inches, 158 lbs and I did powerlifting a lil bit but never ran long distance before )
Hi, I hope I am not too late and you are still interested in doing the Half Marathon. I am an experienced runner and started with 10k's five years ago and now doing 1-2 Marathons and Half marathons per year competitvely with daily training. As a beginner it is important that you can handle the distance without getting inzo troubles. Generally it is wiser to start with 5k, 10k races and then work your way up to longer distances. As a beginner you will make a lot if progress by having more frequent training sessions, from, let's say, one run per week to two, three runs per week. You should be patient and implement this to your routine. Maybe meet once per week with a friend or join a running group. It is also good to maintain some strength exercises for the core, running drills and stretching after your workout. If you have started in August with two to three runs per week, 5-10k per run at an easy pace, than you should implement some long runs which increase every week until 15k or 10 miles. If you can hande this, you should also be able to finish a Half Marathon. If you are not yet at this point, give yourself one more year. For non-recreational runners, as partly showed in this video, they need a specific buildup in cycles, whereas the last cycles focuses on the demands of thus race: Aerobic capacity (long runs(up to 30k in my case) , general endurance runs, distance (+120k per week in my case, but +60k may sufficient for most runners)), runs at Half marathon speed repeats and threshold pace (which is HM-speed for elites) (for instance 20min at threshold pace, 3x4k at target pace, 12k at target pace as final workout (which is quite ahard effort). The last week is usually a taper week, meaning no hard workouts and reduced amount. Anyway, I wish you good luck and would recommend you to do at least a 10k tune-up race to experience the feelings in such a event and to have a good reference of what you can expect during the Half marathon.
dan could wear his old cervelo team kit to run in. 3 sizes too small would make him a lot more aero. tbh though, i think heather will be faster. she has been running for longer and was an ex olympian. good luck though dan. you are faster than me. i tend to focus more on distance than speed
I cannot find any results of the Half marathon run anywhere on your youtube, instagram or facebook. How did it go? Edit: The race was canceled due to snow.
I had been training for my first marathon using this marathon training program “Zοrοtοn Axy” (Google it). This book has a fantastic training schedule and idea. I absolutely suggest this for any person wanting to run their first marathon. I have been running 5ks, 10k and half marathons and decided to make the next huge step to the marathon. .
It's striking how Dan, so graceful on the bike, runs like a new born giraffe.
LMAO
Perfect hair, body of a race-horse, mind of an einstein.......
Dan lloyd in an instant
Are you referring to an Einstein Bagel? ;-)
Looks like the camera man is actually the person to beat
Love watching Dan on GTN!
Love watching Heather haha
Dan "I'm not giving a spectator my kit its Assos!" - cracked me up that did
😂
2:00 Watching humans run this fast and hold an easy conversation is ... depressing.

Wasn't going to click on this until I noticed GCN and GTN were both involved. Can't go wrong with that combo!
So, what are the results of the race?
Oh my gosh! So excited for half marathon coverage with gtn and gcn! Love this. Definitely getting me amped for my marathon and Ironman 70.3!!!
Hi Stephen! Glad to hear you like the content we are bringing you, how is the training going?
Great! Thanks for asking. Have been hitting the 16 mile mark to gear up for the vancouver marathon on May 6 and for whistler Ironman 70.3 have been keeping up with regular weekly swims and runs. Have not been so good at keeping up with the biking on trainer road. Live in Canada so biking in winter sort of sucks.

GCN VS GTN! I expect a video.
Watch this space...! Who's your money on?
I clicked on this video within 2 seconds of opening UA-cam as I saw there was a new upload by GTN. Keep up the awesome work. Love the vids.
Beware the caffeine gel on the run. It can turn a fart into a shart!
6 weeks to my first half marathon as preparation for IM 70.3 Zell am See this summer. Thank you GTN for all the interesting 'How to's' and other videos.

Nice ideas Dave, thanks for sharing your thoughts. This is definitely an unknown for people new to the sport, watch this space for a video soon!
Binge watching your videos for a few days now. I've done an ultra and several marathons before but your insights are really helpful for me to improve. Thank you so much from 🇵🇭
Same here & I’ve done a lot of ultras :)
I haven't watched this yet, but I up-voted it just because Dan Lloyd was in it 😀.
Wasn't he in the cervelo test team? :D
Best decisions I ever made for 1/2 marathon prep was buying a treadmill and getting on Zwift. Without the consistency, I've been mostly training to finish. Now I am training to win.

So important to set a realistic goal time
Nothing wrong with setting a good challenge as long as you do the training to back it up
A lesson ive learned over the years
Ive run hundreds of training runs over 21k over the years and run quite a few organised 1/2 marathons and full marathons
Ill never be in their league
Im a 1:50 1/2 runner and 4:00 marathon runner with a
My realistic goals are 1:45 and 3:45
Ill get there one day
🏃♂️👍
Given Dan's lungs and heart capacity i think 90 min for HM is a good sunday long run
Taras Stanko he already does 18 min 5ks so easy
How fast do reckon he could go Taras?
Quick look at Dan’s age, build, VO2 max...... within a year of dedicated training with a decent group I reckon he could run 72 mins.
That's rapid Stelrad! Mark will have to start looking over his shoulder if that's the case...
Dan the man...if he can't do it, then no one can...GO Dan Lloyd!!!
Really cool video I've done my first half maraton at 15 with small time put into training so i ended up with time 1:49 And now at 16 on asphalt course finished with time 1:37
Between this races/runs i strarted doing MTB and after that road cycling which i starting to like more and more
So for the next season I am planning to start triathlon need just to swim often
❤️ GTN lots of helpful video and how to's
Come on Heather. You can't lose to an ex-cyclist.
I'm going to do my best Herr!
Dan's the man.
For the first time in several years I won't be running a spring half marathon, postponing it in May. I like to kickstart my season with these though.

If your watch beeps every kilometer it could be a good time to remind you of this.
My best is 1:36, sub 1:30 is really solid, but I know what you can do on 5k, it will be easy for you, good luck Dan and most importantly have fun!
There are some great tips there xGshikamaru, thanks for sharing them with us! How fast do you think Dan could go if it all goes to plan?
Did my first half marathon last year as a 17year old in 1:56 (target of 2hours) raising £500 for Cancer Research.... didn’t think that was too bad considering I hated running back then!!
That's awesome Abi, great achievement for your first one! Did you get the running bug and do another one?
Thats awesome.. a lot of people struggle to make it sub 2 incl. me
Please consider training all the GCN presenters up for a Triathlon (starting from Sprints and probably progress to ironman distance. It would be a great lessons where we all (as trainers and trainees) could learn along the way!

Thanks for the tips guys. I am too aiming for a 1:30 time and kind of had a half cocked approach to it. Going to take on your advice and go for it

1:33 for me this morning 🤘
Oh and check the levels guys 😲
Nice time ironman tooltime 👍
What happened with this one? I wanted to see the results between Dan and Heather!
Dan is the man ! Never ran more than 15km, wants to outrace Heather on half. No ordinary man could dream of this. Fortunately or unfortunately, Dan is no ordinary man.

Good tips. Audio levels need balancing. The music was too loud compared to the voices. I liked the running shots.
Hope you have a good race, just remember your doing it for fun. :)

I would be interested in a follow up video on: how to pace yourself if the route is hilly...
That's a tough question... watch this space!
I’m 6 weeks away from my first Half marathon as a 17 year old 😁
Daniel Moore All the best 👏🏼
Yousef Alhammadi Thank you getting excited
Good luck Daniel!
Global Triathlon Network thank you 😁
When you are done, tell us how it went.
Your guys need to work on your audio mastering. Volume in the voice sections of the video is way too low compared to the loud music.
Great Video though! Keep up the good work!
Perfect! Please suggest a 3 month plan for a fast HM - including diet and workouts and mental preparation.
Whenever I run, my first few miles are the slowest and the last few fastest - why? Even if I warm up beforehand?
Definitely a GCN _ GTN challenge I think a Duathlon now Emma is here. Certainly be a good one to watch. What about it guys?
phill whitlam Off-road duathlon and get the GMBN guys involved too. Emma will win obviously but would still make a good challenge.
Great ideas!
Looking forward for the date to be fixed !!
Good luck guys and girls!
Thanks!
0:07 The only thing Dan Lloyd is after is beer!!!
Jeez. Mark, 6:38. You smuggling sausages down there? Lol
Saw that the Bath Half was cancelled! Hope you reschedule for another one :)
Really unfortunate, not sure what the plan is now but think we need to hold Dan to a half in the future.
Thank you for your amazing videos!
Hi GTN, love your videos! :)
I have a question: Could a placeboeffect about aerodynamics make you faster? For exemple if someone tells me that I will save secounds per Kilometers on the bike with for exemple a new helmet with is more aero where in reality it is actually not more aero then the one I am useing, would I then ride faster because I think it makes me faster? :)
Interesting question! I have to say, I think there is an element of placebo effect with things like that. There's nothing better than putting race wheels on your bike, or some racing flats on for a run session. It feels faster, but maybe that's just the noise of the race wheels that makes me think it must be faster. Obviously some products are quite clearly faster, but I certainly think some stuff comes down to you just believing in it, therefore having confidence in it. Maybe something we can test....I might have to think about that though :)
Im routing for Heather!!!!
Thanks Ben!
So, who beat who? Heather or Dan? Or was that in another video (and if so which one)?
The Bath Half Marathon 2018 they were supposed to go was apparently cancelled due to snow. Shame they did not manage to do any other race to let us see the results..
check out the number of the guys arm at 5:54 pretty cool if thats at an ironman
Kumar 140.6 mate 😋
close enough
Pretty close!
Warsaw Half Marathon 25.03 🙋🏃
Good luck if you're racing Dominik!
how many times a week do u do strength training? Is strength training at the gym absolutely necessary for runners? If yes what kind of workouts will help achieve a sub 2 hour half marathon ?
You can actually see Dan´s shadow just standing at the beginning of the video
Heather vs Emma. Challenge video whatever discipline as long as its fun and cheeky 👍
Watch this space Kaliburation! Do you have any suggestions for the challenge?
Global Triathlon Network modern pentathlon challenge, but replace the showjumping with a 20 mile TT. Heather vs Emma, Matt vs Simon vs Dan
I think any challenge that involves Doc Emma is only going to end one way! www.emmapooley.net/en/calendar-results/
Damn she is a little monster!
Heather isnt exactly a couch potato though... en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heather_Fell
I never ran long distance in my life and I wanna do a half marathon in October with training starting 1. of August. If you are experienced can you pls tell me if its possible to prepare by then and give me some tips pls.

I alredy ran my first Half-Marathon in 2hours and 40 minutes . My traning was very bad but I am happy I finished . Tnx for the tips thoe
dan could wear his old cervelo team kit to run in. 3 sizes too small would make him a lot more aero. tbh though, i think heather will be faster. she has been running for longer and was an ex olympian. good luck though dan. you are faster than me. i tend to focus more on distance than speed
Please don't encourage him, no-one in Bath wants to see that!
Good thing the title didn't say something about a Half Fast Marathon..... :)
can you guys do a video on what tapering is please? love all your videos
Keep an eye out in the future.
Dan getting some pressure from having Emma on the team now. ;o)
Keep us posted on how things go!
We will do, we'll have a post race video for you coming soon!
I know what he really wants. Go to the Tour, force a mechanical on froome's bike and the run in front of him to say he has dropped him twice
I cannot find any results of the Half marathon run anywhere on your youtube, instagram or facebook. How did it go? Edit: The race was canceled due to snow.
I wish you learn about the concept of normalizing volume, the music is either super loud or talking too quiet.
Are you running the big half in London?
how did the cameraman record the running scene? did he also run and backward?
The money shot is @ 1:35
good luck boss
Some great tips guys excellent stuff!
Thanks Fordy Runs!
You are welcome!
When is or was this halfmarathon taking place? I am really interested in how it went.
I investigated this for a while and found out that the race they were supposed to go was cancelled due to snow (Bath half marathon 2018).
DAN underground training to GTN
Sssshhhhh!
what race will you guys be running?
Bath Half marathon on Sunday 4th March.
Nice, good luck! Thought maybe it was the Jones Crisps Half in Wales. Next up for Dan, a Full? :)
Why was the front on running footage speeded up?
I came for Dan 🚴, but stayed for Heather 😍
Would that be a half fast marathon?
I've seen some of his parkrun times. I think he's being modest with 90 minutes.
It's certainly going to be a good race! What is your prediction for Dan's time then?
Global Triathlon Network my guess would be between 1:25 & 1:28 depending on the course profile. Which half is it you're doing?
Global Triathlon Network my money is still on Heather for the win!
Heather's running gait is very nice. The guys................ haha
How are they filming the running parts? No motor... is it a bike??
Hi Kevin, most of the running shots were filmed with someone running alongside.
who won?
I like to see Heather running.
Dan just needs to have Heather as a pacemaker :-)
Im a poor aspiring thriathlete... pls. Take me with u guys...
Say it with me: GCN versus GMBN Triathlon! Make it so!
Who do you think would come out on top? Are we allowed to compete too? GCN Vs. GMBN Vs. GTN!
Global Triathlon Network off-road duathlon...
You would gain the admiration and increased interest in our sport!
what were you using to get the running shots?
Probably a camera
Hi Tom, for most of the running shots it was someone running along with the guys holding a camera!
Global Triathlon Network do you use a gimbal?
Is this at round hay park in leeds?
Is Matt volunteering for the swim segment?
There aren't many volunteers for the swim at GCN HQ!
Pity :(
Dan is fast make no mistake.
I had been training for my first marathon using this marathon training program “Zοrοtοn Axy” (Google it). This book has a fantastic training schedule and idea. I absolutely suggest this for any person wanting to run their first marathon. I have been running 5ks, 10k and half marathons and decided to make the next huge step to the marathon. .
why is Dan using shorts? is he not comfortable on just lycra while running?
Dan thinks it could get competetive with Heather? Who did Kona? Psh, please. (Still, all the best, Dan!)
David Scholtz Dan will beat Heather time easily. Not a dig at Heather but doesn't seem like her training pace has been very quick lately
It's going to be a close one!
I love the confidence David and I hope you're right but my training hasn't gone to plan so will have to see what happens on race day.
Go full aero
What are your suggestions for aero running Bobs?
oh my! Define fast?
Dan runs like the floor is covered in Lego.
Why is he been given advice on technique,? He would be far more efficient with a better mid foot strike than taking off on a ‘dead’ heel strike
