Format doesn't really match the thumbnail and title. This is yet another generic marathon prep video (I get it, it's the season). I was hoping for some good science on what actually happens to your body in a marathon - like at the biochemical level, how much damage it does, how is your body changed by the event etc
Started running in April this year, signed up for a marathon next year September to keep the momentum going. Really nervous but I hope having so much time to prepare will make it a good experience! All these videos are super helpful and informative, thank you!
Not brought up in great detail is what happens post marathon in the week (s) following. Cadiac fatigue and DOMS some post marathon issues runners need to deal with, the heart is a muscle and it could be damaged or fatigued after a marathon effort, so prioritizing enough rest before starting training again is important to prevent any cardiac related health issues.❤
@runningchannel it will be great to hear some science behind heart fatigue, and routine runners could follow post marathon to prevent any cardiac issues and other physical or mental issues. Some of the symptoms of heart fatigue, like heart fluttering with light loads, could mean that the heart is not fully recovered post marathon.
@@runningchannel To be fair, I thought that was this video :-) What happents to your body during a marathon (and thus, what needs the recovery). Im new to running, but most of that information, can be scaled back to a overweight person runnning his first half marathon etc. I think this would be mighty usefull.
The thumbnail and caption says something different from what's being shared in the video. We've heard a lot if this. Thought maybe some science was going to be explained as to what really happens to your body during a marathon 🏃 Thanks though.
I am pretty lucky because I can recover from a marathon in 1 to 2 weeks (slow runner advantage) but this year I was mentally drained and it took me about 7 weeks to get back into regular running.
Prefect video and timing for my 2nd full marathon next Sunday target Sub 4 while I'm undergoing tapering stage at this moment, best of luck to Jess attempt to break her first Sub 3 marathon in Berlin!
Man wish I watched this a week ago. Ran my first marathon (well ran the first 20 miles and walked almost the whole last 6 miles), hit 5:53. Not great. Was not expecting to start shivering halfway through the run, and was not expecting exactly how much my upper back would start hurting.
Same thing with me last week. Had to do walk/run the last 16km (due to cramps), about the same as you, and finished in 5:50. I was going to cancel it, since I did very little preparation due to circumstances. That wasn't the plan when I signed up. I'm happy I made it.
@@zeniktorres4320 That's almost exactly what happened to me. I signed up earlier in the year and due to work schedules (and wimping out from running in summer heat, honestly its mostly that) I didn't train and had forgotten I signed up for it until I got the email telling me to pick up my race packet. Figured I paid to enter so I would still at least show up and go as far as I could. Honestly I feel even more motivated to enter another one. Now I know I have it in me, just need to train properly.
Ran my second marathon yesterday. And ran under my lactate threshold the entire way. A massive difference and could drop the hammer the final 5k, did a pr! But a video about recovery would be good.
Im 37, havent ran distance since i was a senior in high school. April, i made a change and decided to start running again. Made a goal of 100 miles by the end of summer. It hit that goal by July. So i set my sites on the marathon. In the lead up to the marathon(Sunday) in Friday my dog got hit by a car and broke his leg. Im very thankful hes alive. But i got maybe 3 hours of sleep from Friday to Sunday morning. I ran my first ever marathon and FINISHED. Is it normal to get super emotional after a run like that? My emotions are all over the place. Lot of happy tears, i guess.
I run my first marathon in 2 weeks. I built my training program around 3:30 time, but Garmin gives me faster and faster predictions (3:07 at the moment, probably cos I ran a sub 40 10k recently). How much should I trust it? (I'll probably run somewhere in the middle)
Garmin changed its race predictor algorithm quite dramatically recently, and everyone's predicted times look pretty over optimistic right now. (I think they were too pessimistic before) Have you run a half marathon in the build up? A good rule of thumb is double the HM time plus 10 - 15 mins. But it depends on your training specificity for 42.2km. A just under sub 40 10k suggests a 3:15 ish marathon, IF you are equally well trained for marathon distance as the 10k. And that is a big IF, especially for your first marathon. Personally I would set off for 3:20-3:25 ish then see how your body feels about pushing on past half way
@@runningchannel Thank you!. Hehe, the dream time would of course be a sub 3h. Maybe next year. If my loved one will support another marathon training block and me dissapearing on Sunday afternoons :D
@@SuperFuzzyDunlop Yes, I am on the new version but there has been a 10min decrease in the prediction already before installing it. I did my share of 32k long runs over summer, but still I expect the Garmin time to be way too optimistic, as you say. I think I will be more than happy for 3:23 time at 4:45 pace as a first marathon result.
I ran my first in May this year with the same 3:30 goal, garmin race prediction was on 3:21, finished at 3:38 due to a very hot day 27C, I did went off for 3:30 but couldn”t hold this pace the last 7-8 km, my advice go for what you trained for so stick to the 3:30 plan
Just did my first marathon- stomach issues got me and I didn't do as well as I hoped. This video was very helpful and I'd love to see more on learning to fuel when nausea seems to be an issue. Thanks for all you do!
Do people who run marathons stop? Better asked: how normal is it to stop? Is it expected? Like belongs to the game sort of thing? Thanks to those who answer 😊
Yeah I am curious how long it takes to actually recover after a marathon. I actually heal pretty quick jokingly my gym friends call me Asian Wolverine cuz after I did my first half marathon I was fine the next day. I had a buddy scan done and the protein that heals muscles is higher in me than normal. I do have my first marathon attempt in 2 weeks. So yeah, I'd be curious to know what the average time is to heal
I slept like a baby the night before my first marathon the few red wines the night before might have helped completed it in 4.36 oh yeah and I had it band syndrome in both legs but that seemed to disappear on race day
OK this kind cool.. To me feel like Easter egg on this video... The thumb nail image of Sarah - What happens to your body when you run a marathon? Changes to Moe and title change - This what a marathon did to me? When you click on the video, or if try to "close the video" slide it down slightly you see x-ray of Moe. Super cool editing running channel 😊 And thanks again for the information as always
Sleep the night before: I do agree we will cope with less than normal due to nerves combined with early alarm HOWEVER for my 3rd London I mistakenly stayed at a friend of a friend’s place which was also hosting its usual Saturday night party… I heard the dawn chorus before I finally nodded off… my worst London by far followed later that morning 😂😂 🥱😴
Great advice, thanks. After I do any running and cycling, I put an electrolyte tablet in with diluted orange mixed with tonic water as it contains quinine to prevent cramps, which I suffered from a lot. I also take magnesium citrate to with my muscles.which also helps against cramps. I’m not sure if it’s an age thing as I never used to be that bad with them. I’m 63 years old now and can still go out and do half marathons and do a 100 miles cycling events. Thanks again for the advice.👍🏻🏃♂️🚵♂️
@runningchannel a lot of years of experience. I am very, very personally aware of the dangers of dehydration and have seen death as a result of same. I never once seen anyone suffer or even come close to being in danger of overhydration

Yeah, I was thinking the exact same thing. Handy I guess, but not what was advertised.
Obviously came here to for the science and all you got was this shit banter
@@brizz11 😂😂
Channel isn't what it used to be
what would you say is a good video that actually does talk about that ?
My first attempt at a Full in 2 weeks in Melbourne. I’m running for my dad who passed away in February and always told me to dream the impossible.
I’ll see you there -
Half for me, but I’ll be there in spirit ❤!
Started running in April this year, signed up for a marathon next year September to keep the momentum going. Really nervous but I hope having so much time to prepare will make it a good experience! All these videos are super helpful and informative, thank you!
Oh yeah you got this
Consistency is key. You'll succeed without a doubt
The person who finished the marathon is not the same person who started the marathon.
We agree!!
@@runningchannel Are any of your team running either Berlin or Chicago?
cool so i can rob a bank, run a marathon and they cannot arrest me, since I am a different person.
@@daviddivad777 lol, can I join you in this adventure? 😂
@@MyFatAdaptedLife Jess was supposed to run Berlin.

@runningchannel , yes please do a video about the impact post marathon, which lots of people have commented about.

Ermmmm still unsure what happens to my body when I run a marathon?! Not your greatest video team! Very misleading !
Couldn’t disagree more. They cover everything that happens to your body in a marathon and how to prevent it happening.
Pain thats what happens
How about getting a slight cold after a marathon? After my second marathon I again am getting flu or cold like feelings.
Sooooo, what happens to your body when you run a marathon?
Wow! Your PB is 3:45! How in heck did you get to that!
I never thought of per loading electrolytes that’s a great suggestion thank you
Not too early though, your body may get rid of it by race time. The previous night or pre-race morning is ideal.
Could you do a video on what happens to your body when you run an ultra (100k or 100 miles).
I run my first marathon in 2 weeks. I built my training program around 3:30 time, but Garmin gives me faster and faster predictions (3:07 at the moment, probably cos I ran a sub 40 10k recently). How much should I trust it? (I'll probably run somewhere in the middle)

Video about recovery would be awesome ☺ says the person with 18 km as her longest run 😅
18 km is not bad though. It's still a great achievement!
Title and content not consistent...unusually poor for TRC
3d half marathon this Saturday 🎉

I usually feel fine after a half. A marathon takes me several days to get rid of the DOMS and higher heart rate.
Running a marathon always makes me really stiff and it can be rather embarrassing.
I slept like a baby the night before my first marathon the few red wines the night before might have helped completed it in 4.36 oh yeah and I had it band syndrome in both legs but that seemed to disappear on race day

I love Mo's hair! Looks amazing on you. Which shorts is Sarah wearing? The pocket looks handy.
Ouch 2 minute ad?
Destroy the body but we still doing it, what does it tell us? Sane or insane in the membrane 😅
Your videos are great 😊
Thanks!! Glad you enjoy them
holy cow how many before i turn transparent
Hahaha
You get dehydrated.
Here first!
🎉🎉🎉
I really get the feeling the "dangers" of drinking too much water is overstated
Why do you say that?
@runningchannel a lot of years of experience. I am very, very personally aware of the dangers of dehydration and have seen death as a result of same. I never once seen anyone suffer or even come close to being in danger of overhydration
All those carbs sound like a pathway to type 2 diabetes!
A waste of 9 minutes...
Extremely bland marathon prep video, total clickbait. Do better.
