Thanks for some great tips. I got into running late at 55 years of age and am now 60 and want to complete a marathon before it's too late! Ran Berlin HM last year in 1.31 so by all accounts i should manage a marathon under 3.20 if i get my training right for the Hamburg marathon in April.
Best of luck - I ran a HM in 1:27 and then did London in 3:24 so don’t be too disappointed if you can’t get under 3:20 - that said I probably could’ve trained better so I hope you smash it!
Training for Canberra marathon which will actually be autumn here in Oz. Will be my 2nd. Ran 4.06 first time around. Hoping to be more like 3.45-50 this time. I am using your plan. Currently on week 9 and feeling fine😁
Thanks Ben and Sarah. I'm doing the Manchester marathon on 5th April. It'll be my third marathon since 2018. First attempt (Dublin) was 3:57. Second marathon (Dublin again) was 3:31. Since November 2019, I took on a running coach which has helped me no end and I have been making steady improvements since then. I have a 10 mile race in 2 weeks which should be a decent indicator for Manchester. Not sure what the goal time for marathon is just yet but I'm confident of knocking another chunk off my PB!! Love your videos! Ken (Dublin)
Ran marathon number 20 just over a week ago in Dubai... now Comrades training has officially started (eeeeek!!)... got some hilly races in March, Hatta Half marathon and Jebel Hafeet Challenge. Second half of the year I have my 6th Chicago Marathon! Thank you for your videos!
This is why Ben's race plans stand head and shoulders above the others that I've looked at. The pacing charts are all worked out according to what your goal time is. So many other plans just say today you do a run at easy rising to interval pace without telling you what those paces should be for what you are training for.
I'm doing my second half marathon with my sister this spring in Buffalo,Ny! And after my run today I actually said exactly this...I need to find my pace. Thanks for this video 👍🏾
I'm going to have to decide on my marathon pace soon. Started Jan after a 6 week lay off and a 14lb weight increase 🙈🙈. My pace has come down circa 15s/km over the last month or so as I regain fitness and start to lose weight. Love your videos Ben.
Doing my first and second marathon this year! First one is in my hometown Copenhagen on 17th of may. Second in Valencia 6th of december. Hope to see you there!
It's crazy but I struggle with the easy pace and slowing myself down has been quite a challenge. I find myself unknowingly upping the pace. I need to be going a minute per mile slower, something I'll have to work on.
I'd love to see breathing tips. I'm training for 4 half Marathons over the next 6 months then stepping it up to my first Marathon in the Spring.I live in NZ so I'm training in the summer at the moment 🏃🏼♀️ thanks for the series finding it very helpful 👍
kerrie Hanley I read one article about a breathing technique used by a female athlete in the US but its honestly more of a mental pain to remember to breathe that way than it actually benefits you. I suggest you just breathe the way you naturally breathe.
Don't forget us Manchester Marathon lot at the beginning of April 😁 On my Garmin, I really like to have alongside current pace, overall average pace. Especially on the long runs, it helps me keep track of where I'm all overall, so I can gradually figure out my pace if I've gone a bit sideways at any point without having to get my calculator out. Great content, super helpful, thanks!!
I have the same on my watch Gareth! Average pace works well.. so long as the watch is tracking super accurately all the way on race day, which for some doing big city marathons is tricky. So lap pace can be useful to keep making each mile or km your target. Lots of different ways! All the best for Manchester!!
Starting week 7 of your Level 2 marathon plan this week Ben, really enjoying the variety of runs, hit 23K yesterday, the furthest I've ever run so pretty happy with that, cant wait for London!
Some good tips here. Currently on week 10 on your 1:30-1:40 half marathon plan was feeling unsure with the amount of easy runs on it but did my fastest ever 1km repeats last week and my biggest week ever at 38 miles. Can’t wait for race day. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Ben Great video, and the PDF chart is great as well. I can so relate to it. Just yesterday I ran a time based run. It was a track event in which one had to cover max distance in 3 hours, and I ran 33.19km. Feels so good. Now preparing for a marathon in the next quarter. Kudos to your work, great learning !! And keep putting up awesome videos.
Training for my first marathon. The Pittsburgh marathon on may 3, 2020. I did this weeks long run this morning. 16 miles at a 11:30 pace. It felt brutal mentally and physically. Thanks for the tips!
Great video, like the dual combo presenting 😃 I did a PB for the half marathon at Egham and Thorpe this weekend with 1:21:28, 3 mins better than Ealing last year. Aiming for as close to 3 if not beat it at London 😁
Im training for Paris Marathon, 5. April. My goal time is 3:20, everything was going as untill I got some groin issues. Hopefully im back on track within a week. Next race will be Lysefjorden inn, a 63km trail ultra in june. This will be my first ultra.
intervals are my absolute fave - so its more of a discipline and battle of will to do those easy runs.. but the mantra of 'go slow to go fast later' usually helps : )
Not a spring marathon but signed up for my first in October at Loch Ness. I've downloaded your training plan and really looking forward to starting the plan around May/June. Thanks for all the hints and tips, love the videos keep it up. #gettingitdone
Certainly one of the fastest courses in the UK.. a great race overall for sure. Good luck when it comes time to start the training for real Michael. All the best!
Good idea about long run blocks. The long run is a key workout for marathon training. A lot of people make the mistake of running too easy on their long run. A marathon is not E. I like to progress the pace, by pushing the last 5 to 10K towards M pace.
My tip is learn how to set up sessions on your garmin/watch and set alerts so if your pace is 8 min miles than if you go fast than 7.55 or slower than 8.05 the watch starts beeping. No need to look at the watch as it will mind you.
Running London with my 7-people Belgium Marathon Majors team! 4th of the 6, trying to get sub 3:10, maybe even 3:05! Next training 10x200m and then 10x400m, long run on Sunday with 5x3m Marathonpace. Only not doing strides after Easyrun, because I think my recuperation will take longer then. Both of you doing a great job! I'm also a PT, love to see how Sarah works in the big city of London and how it is different from my business in Belgium!
Thank you. This is great information, I love these videos that have details. I have been following for awhile now, really enjoy Sarah being on. It’s nice to see and hear two perspectives.
I love the vdot calculator and find that it works really well aside from the marathon. 5k to Half marathon it is usually accurate to within 5s/mile. For marathon, even when I peaked at 70+ miles a week, it still felt aggressive by about 30s/mile. Perhaps, I just need to run more marathons!
I'm doing Calgary a week later than your Ottawa Marathon. I think I found you on Strava...need moral support so am following you. I hope you don't mind
WOW what a great Video, thanks a lot! I thought the exercise "Fartlek" is unknown outside Germany because I never saw an english running Video with that. (Called Fahrtenspiel in German) Only thing I would add is to differ in heartrate zones for describing the intensity lvl. Looking forward for next Video and shared this one with my running group.
Great idea to do a spring marathon series 👍👍 I am watching this instead of normal tv. What about getting ill? Winter blues? Bad weather? Bit depressing I know, but it is the reality of winter training, followed by what to do on your rest days, like have fun 😉 not run
Thx! I have pay for your(s) Marathon program. And I really find it easie explained. Whit this vid, Its no queations. And for notice. first time ever I have run on snow road thx to your(s) channel.
Just done 30k yesterday at easy pace with 2x6km at MP blocks inside - this type of workout was really nice and inventive, kept me going through the worst weather - around 0 degrees centigrade with heavy sleet. Would be hard just to go slow on that long run. Thanks, Ben, for this idea!
Kalamazoo, Michigan Marathon on May 3rd! It will be my first marathon! I really appreciate this series you are putting on currently. I was supposed to do 4 miles easy this morning and ended up running them at my marathon pace oops. Good reminders.
You make a great team, thank you for all the videos, there is something to learn every day. Can wait for the next video, food doring marathon is a most. I fail on my marathon in december because of it, and also a calf injurie but fueling was a big part also.
Stockholm Marathon 30 may, will be my first marathon. Been building mileage slowly since Christmas and are now starting to train a bit more structured. So perfect timing on this series 👍
Currently using the 10k plan and really enjoying it, was unsure on what pace I should be aiming at so will certainly be looking at the pacing chart for future runs!
This video helped me loads just now - I took it easy and loved every second of it. Only did 4 miles but could of easily gone for another 8 it felt. Thanks for your help
Awesome content guys, i'm personally training for Manchester marathon at the moment with then a 12 hour event on a month later. For me i'm trying to slow my runs down so these videos def help me.. Keep up the good work.
Nice tips.. I bought your level 4 plan .. so help me God.. the goal is Marines Corp Marathon in October (actually 50 km). Before that, two marathons here in Brazil, and one very special race.. Comrades.. the goal for all of them? To finish healthy and happy. Your plan is awesome. Pretty sure it is going to help me. All the best
Not a marathon but I’ll be running 15k on 29-Mar-2020 at the Run for the Kids in Melbourne Australia, it’s an event that raise funds for the Royal Children’s Hospital
Please could you share a few of your few of your marathon training stats with us🤣: peak long run distance, peak weekly milage and average weekly run pace?
10K in 52 mins on the dot at weekend, timely video as half marathon not far off in Lisbon and never done one before, wondered what pace i should be aiming for approx........ now i know. thanks.
helpmark about 1;53 pace is not a bad target... It does depend on the course and conditions and how you are feeling on the day. Just go out and enjoy and have fun..and good luck.
Great video, can you make also a summary how to work on getting a Ultra-Marathon in the Alps? I have already run a marathon with 3000 altitude, but I don't dare to run 80km with 4000m. I really like your channel. Keep going on ;-)
Super valuable content guys, keep it up and thanks for all these excelent tips! 😀 Running for my first ever marathon this year, hopefully, in November - Porto Marathon, Portugal. 🇵🇹 Edit: Oh, the fartlek joke... 😂
Hi i will doing my 33kms long run and its supposed to be easy. Im preparing myself for a 3 hrs 30 mins on Los Angeles Marathon. Really happy with both of you giving running tips. Any last motivational tip before entering. Best Regards from El Salvador
I know it's outside of the "spring" window, but I am training for Comrades in June. It will be my second one. I will be running my Qualifying marathon in the middle of March so I suppose that counts.
Just a quick one regarding to the editing concept of this video I found it honestly a bit all over the place swapping between camera angles cutting when unesscary, also a few cuts to a different clip where the sound still carries over, just a little bit of advice I'm no professional just a uni student studying digital film production so I pick up on these little things when watching videos 🙏
I do not run marathon. I am trying my second half aiming for 1h30. My favorite pace is tempo progressive run. Starting at easy pace and ending with 5k or something at that confortable/unconfortable pacing
I could do with all the help I can get for London to Brighton 100k. I walked it last year. Going for a walk/run this time. It’s my first time working out cadence for this pace and how to decide what to run and what to walk. Do we break it down by incline/terrain or chose what stages to run and what to walk? I’m sure both have their merits. And training tip would also be exceptionally helpful.
Thanks for some great tips.

3rd week into your intermediate marathon plan for Edinburgh hoping to hit a sub 3.30 all going well enjoying the plan.
Great hear Russell! Wishing you all the best for race day!

Don’t do what I did, I started my marathon in Sevilla like a 5k
There is no other way to race.
@@taylor1991 This is the way
I started my 10k this past weekend like that... bonked after 5,5km

London. Got into the Championship start for the first time, be nice to compare it to the GFA start.

Good luck in Seville Ian!! Have an amazing time!

Ah those days of thinking we would be racing. Remember them fondly. But the constant disappointment hurt by September,
Hi Ben, training going well for London so far! When are you planning to do the meet ups prior to London?
Will do a meet up somewhere near the expo before London for sure!
Ben Parkes Sounds great + look forward to meeting up then!
thank you
I could do with all the help I can get for London to Brighton 100k. I walked it last year.
Going for a walk/run this time.
It’s my first time working out cadence for this pace and how to decide what to run and what to walk. Do we break it down by incline/terrain or chose what stages to run and what to walk? I’m sure both have their merits.
And training tip would also be exceptionally helpful.
..training for 2:38 London, see you at start Ben Parkes?
