Weekly hill sprints are going in my London block. Having never really done a lot of specific hill work, am just finishing up on 6 weeks of hills sessions prepping for a 10k.
Hi Matt. Funnily enough I literally just finished my own goal of running a marathon every month in 2024! I would say that it’s not great for training; you spend far too much time either tapering or recovering, and the injury risk is quite high, especially if racing every one. But don’t let that knock you! I’ve had a great year of running and I hope you do too
Matt - setting durability aside, do you feel that you’ll have enough time between races to gain fitness and improve your marathon PR? Trying to gauge how many quality sessions you’ll realistically be able to complete between recovery and tapering for the next race.
Each marathon in itself is obviously a huge training stimulus, I seem to recover pretty well in about 4-6 days from the most recent marathons, there’s obviously no fitness lost in this time after a marathon.. I don’t see losing fitness being an issue but getting injured would be the biggest risk to this
Sure plenty experts will be telling you it can’t/shouldn’t be done but what you have achieved this year is proof you should just keep doing what you love. You are clearly up for a challenge and enjoying the journey no matter where it takes you. Very best wishes with your goals.
@@sweatelite ps - Sept race : Loch Ness, Scotland. Beautiful scenery. CR 2:19. You’d get free entry & be in amongst £3K+ prize pot to offset some travel expenses 🙂
It will be fun following your 2025 year with this new approach. Copenhagen have a really nice marathon in May, its a flat course but maybe abit on the warm side at that time of year, you probably know about it already.
Good luck excited to follow the journey! My goal is sub 3 in the spring, I have some hills in my easy routes, you recommend sprint up hill as part of easy run? so an hour easy run might have 2/3 hill sprints?
That cherry berry mix from Aldi is the best I make my smoothies the same way for the last 4 years. The protien mix from Aldi is also great and has creatine in it also. I add some orange juice , good belly probiotics, coconut water, spinach, banana, whole milk greek yogurt, beet powder, and turmeric to kick up the recovery. Great video can't wait for all the awesome content in 2025! 💯🏅💯
You make a lot of videos about your own training, but I would like you to release videos of top athletes' training as you did before. That's what I look forward to.
a 2:15 isn't a top athlete? wtf, this guy is a walking experiment for breaking marathon prep status quo and im paying attention to everything like a nerd and hope he keeps going
I'm kinda glad someone finally commented this, been thinking it for a while but wasn't sure how to gracefully bring it up and every other commenter has seemed happy to just watch Matt's updates. I originally subscribed in the early days because of the fantastic, no frills coverage of many elite and even sub-elite runners but that seems to have fallen off the main mission of the channel. Totally get that there's cost involved as mentioned above, but it would be cool if the channel owners addressed this pivot in a more formal way (unless maybe I missed a video on this topic?) Don't get me wrong, it's still enjoyable checking in on how Matt is doing occasionally and I'm not unsubscribing but tbh I turned off notifications for the channel a while ago
Thanks all for the notes here. We’d love for the same thing honestly - we faced a series of issues though in making this happen. They’re not cheap to make and we struggled to find consistent brands who would help sponsor the costs involved (we lost over $30k doing these in 3yrs), by the end of 2023 we had essentially filmed all receptive athletes globally, all you don’t see on here did not respond positively. So it would have been repeating athletes which likely would have bought complaints. The other issue (which is a great thing for you guys) is many others out there are doing the same thing now - All Track Access, FloTrack. Citius Mag and many other smaller channels. What do you think of these? The final issue was, well, our view counts were dropping way way down over time…….
You can't balance that amount of racing marathons with the training blocks and recovery needed to get a 2.15....you also need to hit around a low 64 half as well if 2.15 is the goal, better focus on 2 marathons
Ballarat would be amazing, thank you, Matt 💪👏🫶 So many doubters here! I reckon this only drives the man more 👏👏👏 And let's face it, that’s what we're here for! Let's GO 2025 🙌🫶🙌🫶

Thank you for sharing your journey. I'm always trying to learn something new from your videos.
Weekly hill sprints are going in my London block. Having never really done a lot of specific hill work, am just finishing up on 6 weeks of hills sessions prepping for a 10k.
I like this channel because you accomplish the goals you set out . nice job on the recording
Impressive goal and approach to do it! Good luck! Will be at Grandmas for my first sub 3 attempt!

Oh ...man i'm so fkin hyped.
LFG Matt

More options: Seville-February, Rotterdam-April.

This is a great idea, thank you

Copenhagen is a great choice
Go for Gold 🔥🔥🥇
This will be great damn

Just subbed... Lettttsss gooooo!!!!!.. 😂
Would be epic if you ran Ballarat Matt! Ran the half last year, It's a nice flat course and the weather is usually ideal at that time of year.
Love Yuki! The people's champ!
Try Copenhagen in May! Great flat & fast course, great crowds - beautiful city
It’s a great option for sure
How do these hill sprints differ from the classic strides we've always done? WE BRING THE BOOMSHAKALAKA!

Matt keep this videos going!!!! The rest bla , bla , bla ...
Congrats!!!!
When you do the strides are you doing road running or sprint form?
Oh nice…I run grandma’s seemingly every year. Good race.
While I would like to see you set a new half PR I have to say this provides more motivation to me, lol
I’m hoping I can throw in a half as well at some point
Will all these marathons be all-out PB attempts?
Do you take creatine daily or is it just for post hard workout?
Daily
See you at Grandma's! It will be my first.
You make a lot of videos about your own training, but I would like you to release videos of top athletes' training as you did before. That's what I look forward to.
I agree, This is why i subscribed in the first place.

I generally enjoy all of the content Mat puts up.
should hookup with Jake from RantoJapan youtube channel in Japan. he runs a lot of races and does 250k weeks
Would love to, hope to this February

That’s a strong opinion that it’s not possible. How come? Because it’s not done often? It’s also not tried often. Yuki got to 2:07 doing this…
Tell that to Yuki!!!!
@@jameschaves5723 he ain't Yuki!
@@vondutchman he’s also not trying to run 2:07. Why you being a Duche?
@@sweatelite well he is one in a million but hey go for it and good luck. Why do you think it's not a done thing 🤔🤔
Ballarat would be amazing, thank you, Matt 💪👏🫶
So many doubters here!
I reckon this only drives the man more 👏👏👏
And let's face it, that’s what we're here for!
Let's GO 2025 🙌🫶🙌🫶
