    Some fantastic, practical advice. Most videos are far too complicated and discourage us from even trying for that distance. It takes months to build up your distances. I’ve managed to run a number of half marathons now. Never thought it was possible and especially only since I’ve turned 50. My next goal is to aim for a full marathon. Don’t know how long it will take but I’ll get there.

    Participated in the Belgrade Marathon this past weekend. My first one ever and keep in mind I may not be the one to give out advice, but one conclusion i can take from it is STAY ON TOP OF YOUR NUTRITION. Coming from a backround of doing mainly half distance triathlons,and half marathons I didn’t think it would be a much of a problem. I WAS SO WRONG. It started off great, I came in at half mark point at around 1h20mins having only had about 2 gels (~55g of carbs) and things were going perfectly according to my pacing plan, then at around km 27/8 it hit me like a brick wall. It was hell from then on and i finished with a final time of 3h4mins and 31sec. Had I payed more attention to my nutrition i could have finished in under 2h50 for certain.Dont neglect or underestimate how many calories your body need to function properly whilst running 42km

    Personally I would have included some 'real life' video shots of people 'running' the latter stages of a marathon - ie walking! It is absolutely nothing to be ashamed about and, if we are honest, is what gets most of the "mid/back of the back" to the finish line.

    There are take-outs even for me, despite the the fact that I am only planning a half in September. My intermediate scheduled goals is a 10k PB in July. In terms of volume, I find it reassuring. I am at 25-30 (sometimes 35) k per week. If 50 is enough for a full, increasing to 35-40 should be realistic enough and good for a half even though some web-sites consider this too little. As for the long run, it's my understanding that for a half marathon, unlike for a marathon, going the full distance during long runs is actually recommended, but I have a few months to settle that debate as my long runs are currently in the 10k range.

    • @Aeronwor
      @Aeronwor Рік тому +2

      If you want to complete the half, then you do not necessarily need to run the full distance in training, if you want to go for a specific time, or you want to run it as part of a 70.3 triathlon, then even running over distance during training can be advisable.

    100% agree with everything said in the video especially the training requirements
    Look at completing at least 30km twice a week for a month before your big race
    And you should be working your fitness level towards being able to complete 30km twice a week

    I REALLY agree with entering right away. I ran my first ever 10 km almost 2 months ago, sunscreen then I’ve ran like a goggins jr, feeling ready for my first marathon that is 1 month to go. If it wasn’t for me signing up, I’d never be at the level that I am now

    Really tempted to do a marathon. I plan to do a few half marathons first before planing a full marathon. I’m inspired!
