      Right! I've been running for almost 2 years now and just recently started marathon training and getting ready to run a marathon, I estimate my pace will be like 9:30 per mile for a marathon. What was your pace?

      No offense to her, but I'm p sure she gets paid to do this and therefore has a lot of time to spare. She also has a private trainer planning everything else out for her.

      She did Other sports besote, her body is in shape so is “easier”. I began to train 2 years ago and I am very slow, but my boyfriend did a lot of sports all his life and is very fast, he could do all faster and better... is the muscular memory and previous training

    I feel like she should have highlighted the fact that she partly did so well bc she’s an ex-pro cyclist. People might think it’s normal to be able to do this intensity this quickly, not realizing they will likely get hurt. It’s also not normal for most to be able to do such a fast time in their first marathon

      The whole thing is staged for views and likes. Anyone who has ever ran a marathon will tell you that you don't go from couch potato to marathon runner in ten weeks with under 8 minute mile pace. Its not just strength and mental toughness. The bones and joints need time to strengthen before the body can push that hard and it takes time - lots of time. The only thing a rookie will accomplish doing this is a stress fracture and shin splints.

      She definitely is. There's no way an ordinary person goes from not running to running 45-70 miles a week. There are elite runners that don't do more than 70 miles a week. That being said, her time was 3:30, not 3 hrs, and 3 hrs is a FAR cry from 3:30.

Try loosing 30 lbs or try having at least a personal training 3 days a week for a month. You only get a small taste of what shes having. So i APPLAUD her. Challenging your own self is hard cause you are your own supporter and critic at the same time.

In other words: this week your goal is to run a mile in under 10. Next week your goal is to run a mile in under 9 mins 55 seconds. Or to run 1 and a half miles and don't time yourself, just try to go further.
      Competing against other people before you've even gotten started is a great way to feel defeated and give up.

      The people that do a marathon with zero training are usually already in ok shape and sometimes in phenomenal shape. Just because they didn't specifically train for endurance running doesn't mean that a lot of their prior training can't carry over. Most of the people in my small work group couldn't even run for a solid mile until they trained for few weeks. These weren't overweight people either, but they were pretty average levels of fitness. After 6 months or so they could easily do 10k races and probably at that point some of them may have been able to do a marathon on a whim. Even then that's unlikely.

    I honestly believe anyone can do a marathon. I’m so proud of Michelle for completing one and even doing so with an amazing race time (3 hours is really fast).
    I’ve completed 7 LA Marathons by jogging and fast walking and I am a REALLY slow runner. My PR is 6 hours. It really depends on your mindset since “average” people tend to finish around 5-7 hours. Some just speed walk the whole thing and hit 7 hours.
    So if you’re considering doing the marathon but think it’s too difficult, it’s not. The race itself is painful if you’re not used to that type of pain but it is possible. The feeling you get when you finish the race is what pushes me to participate every year. 🙌🏼

      That PR or personal best of 6 hours is OK for a normal runner, I am training to run all the way a 5k race, I have already done it by walking/jogging in 41 minutes, but to qualify I must RUN it all the way, OK if I run/jog slowly I might do in in about 38 minutes. Your time of 6 hours for that marathon corresponds to 42m 43seconds for a 5k, or 3 hours for a half marathon, on average as you say for anyone doing a full distance marathon

      R.P.F. Purple she must have done running in the past or at school. She ran 5 miles on the first day including sprints. There is no way you can do that if you haven’t run quite a lot before. This was also reflected in her half marathon time. Most people start 1-2 miles and just build up.
