I'm currently 8 weeks into this program and thoroughly recommend it.
How did you find running that marathon with him? Hoping to do this programme in the next year. :)

Before I make an ass of myself, could you explain the numbers in your results. They seem low for someone who hasn’t trained or ran a marathon. Do those times include stops and walking? I’m trying to train for a 5k next month and I’m a slow ass runner averaging a 12:30 mile. At the moment I’m focusing on distance and endurance not speed someone recommended it.
❤❤❤
"He's been running a lot recently" ?????? ZERO Training
😂Fergus not trying to kill nobody bro.
My exact thought, and he also does CrossFit. He’s never ran a marathon but he’s also not fresh off a extended stay on the couch
I just completed a 1/2 marathon yesterday, with 10 weeks of training, and I still cannot fathom running a marathon. Sam is a legend 👏🏻🏃♂️
Was in the same boat for a while, but eventually you'll break through the barrier if you try! Keep up the work and the goals will come.
I have mine in 2 weeks, done one 6 mile training run and got injured again, plantar fasciitis ruins everything. I’m just going to run it on the day and hope I can break 2:30 😢
@@YoYoZamolo I do have to say that my experience is limited to ultra hiking but my plantar fascitis went away without doing anything when I started using orthopedic insoles
Did a 100km in 19:30h without problems of fascitis while half a year before I could not do 40-50km without it starting
Definitely a game changer for me
My half is this coming Sunday!
@@gowanlock good luck!!
Well done Sam. You are my hero!
"If you pass out, I will catch you. So there's no real risk" - Well done Sam. You are my hero!
Fergus I’ve always been a gym + MMA guy and cyclist but watching you and others like goggins has inspired me to start running and complete a triathlon this year. Just want to say ur channel has been by far my most beneficial source of knowledge and motivation to achieve those goals and keep smashing it brother 💪🏼
Apart from the great content (your humour and humble profile are a great combo), I just want to take a moment and comment about the incredible video editing; the music, the cuts, the drone/gopro switches. It keeps getting better and better!
Well done Sam, you're my hero. Good on you Fergus for sticking with your brother and pushing him through. You guys have inspired me to try and do my first marathon. I'll be running from the Adelaide CBD to McLaren Flat 44Kms
another adelaide fella here! did you end up doing the mara?
i will never forget my first marathon, humbled very quickly, the hurt, the negative thoughts, the timed goal thrown out the window, the last push to just cross the finish line and then the days following...
Impressive effort Sam! I’m still training to be able to run a half marathon. Everyone is on their journey and has their struggles but the grit you showed will serve you well
Really impressive to do a half under 2 hours that easily... I do a lot of running, mostly in zone 2 and I'm not sure if I could do a half under 2! Great work!
I know I can’t
I can probbaly do it but It would be very hard
Well done, Sam! Insane effort and guts to do this.
Huge admiration for that dedication and effort. This was interesting and encouraging and entertaining to me. I’m going to undergo a long run with minimal training and it’s good to see what the pain looks like!
Sam - what you just did is incredible. It's absolutely amazing. I have been running seriously for a couple of years. I did my first marathon last year, and I have done about 20 half marathons. My next marathon is in 12 days, and I don't think I'm going to make it. I am NOT ready for a marathon.
And you just did a marathon without any training. That is just unbelievable. I really wish I could tell you how impressed I am .... 😃
You're already defeated if you think like that you can do it is the mentality to have
@@jamesirvine9541 I get your point. It's just that yesterday I went for a 33 km run. After 24 km, I couldn't run farther. I had to walk 9 km to get home and the pain in my legs was killing me. That's bad. That's really bad. Especially, if you think you are going to run a marathon 13 days later. 😖
Last month, my longest run was 30 km, which I managed without any problems at all. So I don't know what went wrong yesterday.
I just wanted to say, that there's a very good reason why I am worried. It's more than just some silly thoughts.
When I did my first marathon last year, I keept saying to myself, that I wanted that f***ing medal. Maybe it will also work this year. 😁
@@JeDindk don't know if it'll help you but I bathe with Himalayan salts in the water it helps me
hay mate, howd the marathon go?
Curious to know if you finished!
I’m running the Stockholm marathon in a months time and I don’t think I’ve ever prepared or trained this much for anything (watching this was definitely part of my prep). Seeing someone do it without any practice, and just beating my half-marathon time was inspiring A-F, you are my hero Sam!
Im going to stockholm too!
I'm going to Sthlm marathon too but I haven't followed a marathon planned, just jogged around 20k/week since november... So I'm really nervous if I can finnish, I know I can do 21 k but how bot not sure how much more
@@AT-uy9vv It's a mental game then, if you tell yourself you can, you can! Good luck!
Just did my full marathon yesterday WITH training. Congrats to this man
Preparing for my first marathon. I’ve got 6 months so a bit more time than Sam 😂. This video is what I needed to see. So nice to see an honest video because I feel there are a lot of lies out there when it comes to pace/mile and distance. I’m new to running and easily discouraged with my progress. I’ve worked out for years and tried to work into this whole hybrid thing. Being a firefighter makes cardio necessary so I decided to tackle something really difficult. Thank you for this!
Another high quality video mate, keep it up!!
You did great Sam! I can't wait to do my first marathon... With training😊
Good effort. I ran a 4:55 marathon with 2 weeks training. Felt more rewarding doing that than when I trained for 9 months for an ironman.
Just watched a video of a guy with ZERO training and finished 4:23:34. Signed up 3 days before.
What training did you do?
I LOVE FANTA LIMÓN.
More than you love your legs it seems…
I AM LEEMON🍋
Sam, you are extremely awesome. That was just mind-blowing. Bravo. 👏👏👏
Fergus I’ve always been a gym + MMA guy and cyclist but watching you and others like goggins has inspired me to start running and complete a triathlon this year. Just want to say ur channel has been by far my most beneficial source of knowledge and motivation to achieve those goals and keep smashing it brother
Fair play to him, I want to do a marathon one day but this definitely reminds me how important training is 😂
Omg well done!! I hope the post run recovery was good and your legs are back to normal. Those stairs at the end looked hideous! You legend!
Amazing job Sam! I was running along the same beach that day and saw you guys, apologies if I shouted “Love the UA-cam channel!” too loud 😂 regardless you both have given me so much motivation for me running my first marathon in a month’s time!
That was such an incentive of how to push forward. Thank you for sharing what an amazing job
Every physios nightmare haha, hopefully Sams hammy pulls up okay :)
Sam you pushed it as far as you could go and then pushed it even farther, inspiring us to push it, not take the easy road
That was absolutely amazing....... I've been training for half and my best time so far is 2hr 53min. I am in awe of your half and full times.
I have crawled up the stairs many times after a long run.....lol..... I had many giggles during this video.
On a side note being from Leith in Edinburgh and now living in NZ, it was so lovely seeing all those places again.
I don’t think I’ve ever walked up to the starting line of any race of any distance thinking “I’m adequately trained for this”.
Neither have I, and I think that is a very good point.
Wow! 4 hrs 49 minutes, no training, that's awesome effort. Obviously, it was going to hurt, but it was a good hurt. Also, it's good you ran with a friend. I already ran two marathons and many halfs with training and finished. I am glad I trained.
the "SUB 4" 💀 Sam's a legend!! well done 🔥
Love this! I live in East Lothian ❤️. I’m doing my first ever Half Marathon this month after years of only doing strength training and hating cardio 🙈. So inspiring 🙌🏻
I'm planning on doing my first 10k in the summer in Norwich would love to eventually work up to a marathon.
This is the correct approach 👊🏼 hope your training goes well!
Make sure you train for it even a 10 k with no training is stupidity
good luck! I'm doing my first ever race, a 10k, in about a month and I'm both excited and nervous, haha. but slowly increasing volume over past month has shoved amazing progress, you'd be surprised how much you can improve in the beginning. it will probably slow down, but it's still a great feeling. and yeah, don't make my mistake and don't push too hard. like, if in the last week you've done 5k, don't go for a 10k, even if you feel it in you. trust me, your body WON'T be thankful for that, haha. I've done that while running with a friend, felt good, wanted to impress him and then has to take a few trainings off because of the soreness and pain. gradual increase is the key
I didn't train for a half marathon 2 wks ago....have a full marathon in 5 days ....my training is basically the half marathon! I'm sure, I can finish...but a lot slower pace than the both of you...good job guys...and pray for me lol...well Job done Sam...you are my hero!
Sam and Fergus, you are both heroes! a super interesting view of trained individuals' experience of distance running. Id love to have running as a hobby, you guys inspire me.
I know this video is 5 months old but it just appeared on my list of videos so here it goes... Well done Sam. You are my hero! great video and welcome to the marathon world, hopefully you'll do more in the future, it's addictive.
Amazing!!! Love it! Inspiring, motivating! A great push, great job and great content!
What a combo! I love Sam's quirky content, and I love the seriousness of your content. What a pair of top lads
A friend did something similar. He trained intermittently but hardly enough to run any distance beyond 10k. He ran the marathon in over 5 hours and has not run again since. He was totally burnt. Self-inflicted torture.
Well done Sam, you are my hero. And also a total nutter for trying it.
Maybe an unpopular opinion but I love seeing people perform without the generally accepted 'best' training plans. It goes to show what can be done with a less than optimal training plan but the strength of mentality instead as rarely does real life afford perfect conditions. Good job 👍🏻.
Holy shit, Sam, outstanding effort. Truly inspirational work
at first i saw him and think well he is fit so thats will not be so challenging but then i saw him at the end of the video and thats makes me scared for my first marathon.... I'm very proud of him He did it without training. I'm just blow minded
Well ran Sam, total respect for you. It's not easy when you've trained for it nevermind without the 100s of miles prep. Legend 👍💪
He’s not your average “non runner” I on the other hand have run 8miles my furthest and will be doing the rob burrow Leeds marathon on the 14th May, I haven’t done anything for 6 weeks, wish me luck 😂 GREAT VIDEO
Only as you approach the marathon distance for the first time does the true scale of it set in, exponentially harder towards the end. It humbles you and then you design ways to tackle it better next time.
A 1h57 half marathon is not too shabby! For my first ever half marathon, I trained for months and completed it in 1h55. I weigh a lot less than you do too. It's just that beyond the 21.1km mark, it takes something special to keep running.
I learned about nipple chafing and groin chafing during my half marathon training, so incorporated that for my first ever marathon. For me, vaseline and surgical tape over my nipples works best. Glad that you made him lube up right at the beginning of this.
As a sub 4 marathon runner, I would have been mildly upset if he had met his goal... My aim for my first marathon was sub 4 and I made it with 16 weeks of training. Fast forward and I'm now a sub 3h30 finisher.
I am running my first half marathon on Sunday, with on and off training (most I’ve run is 12k) so we’ll see how it goes, but this has give me motivation that Sundays gonna be hard, but I’ll push through it and get it done (plan is less than 2 hours 20 mins) Sam you are a legend indeed!
Toronto half marathon??
So how did you do! Hope you managed to finish
Mate where do you get your music from? That last track was sick! Also Sam is a legend - I tried this as a beginner runner and it took me 6 hours to finish... so much pain 💀
I've run a half marathon with no training other than CrossFit...can't imagine doing a full marathon! Way to go Sam!
Very fun to watch. Nice work Sam!
Sam is a legend, my name is also Sam and tomorrow I am waking up and running a marathon with no training too! Lets see how it goes
Well done sam you are my hero. I've some how landed in my self in a similar situation. I'm a rugby player and I booked in a half marathon for the 11th of June however my season didn't finish till yesterday meaning I've got 4-5 weeks to train so no where near as bad 😅
well done Sam, you're my hero.
I've recently gotten back into running, I stopped for over a decade due to injures from varies motorcycle crashes (all on a closed course) and had basically given up on the idea of running. last fall I decide to try it again, at first I could only do about 1km and now I'm doing 5km and moving towards doing 10km with the plan to do a 10km race this year or next. I know a full marathon is never going to be realistic but this makes me want to work towards a half marathon
Impressive! Here in Sweden we call that sort of stubbornness “att ha pannben”, digging deep and seeing it through👍👍
Sam- well done. You're an inspiration for my own first marathon in October. Fergus- why weren't you wearing a seat belt in the drive back? We don't want you injured in a crash unnecessarily.
Well done Sam you are my hero ...Great video guys!!
A brilliant Crossfitter whos been "running alot recently" aint zero training
Amazing job Sam! Way to see it through!
Very good video!
The obv question is whether maybe a consistent 7:00 pace would have gotten the same result with less torture
An interesting perspective… my answer is, yes. If you are consistent with your pace, you’ll feel it much less than if you accelerate and stop constantly, but in the end, it’s hard anyways, so who knows.
Stunning work Sam....loved the video.....having run several ultra marathons in my 40s I feel your pain 👏👏👏👏
Well done Sam. You are my hero What an inspiration. Never give up 💪🏻👌🏻
I actually welled up when ya got over the finish line. Why wouldn't he succeed with a guy like you in his life. Bravo to the both of you. But especially Sam amazing chap!!
Well done Sam! You are my hero 👏🏻🤩. Amazing effort and love the informative content Fergus!
Well done Sam! Massive achievement.
Well done Sam. You showed real mental strength pushing through there when you could have easily given up. Well done!
Ran my first marathon as a 17 year old that was a semi decent 5k runner and elite junior triathlete who was keen on proving a point that marathons are 90% mental. Before running it my longest run was 13k 😂
Great video, you make a great team, bring Sam back soon
Ran a comfortable sub2 half with no training (having only ever done 5ks) and whilst the gas tank and engine were fine (heart and lungs) my calves and knees were completely finished. The last few km were awful and a mental exercise. Walked home like a cripple and took over a week to properly recover.
By then end couldn't begin to imagine a full without training. Half was enough for me period
Well done Sam, amazing effort, hope you are recovering ok.
Well done Sam! You're my hero!!! I'm training for my first marathon this fall and can't imagine doing what you just did...thank you for showing us what mental strength looks like.
You showed true grit Sam!!hope it goes as well for myself at the Leeds marathon this may
“well done sam you are my hero” you are extremely mental for doing that! Much respect!!!
Well done Sam... you are my hero.. big time!!
Wow, congratulations Sam!! Good job!! 💪💪💪
I’m running my first ever race… a 15k in preparation for my first half marathon. I just completed a 15k run in 1h 23min in my training… I’m looking forward to finishing that 15k race, and then doing my first half marathon, I hope to do it at around 1h 55min :) anyone doing a half marathon under 2h is considered a pretty decent runner, so my respect to Sam.
Well done Sam! Heroic effort
Running my first marathon on Sunday, looking forward to that mental battle!
That was awesome! Great job!
Well done Sam, you are my hero! Mental toughness in abundance
Unreal effort and tremendous fight. Great work!
Well done Sam, you are my hero! You still completed it in a faster time than I did my first marathon which I trained for 😂
I didn't realize how hard he was pushing when I saw the activity on Strava, but man he worked hard, shoutout to him.
Castillo making an appearance 😂
“Bmt Yh it’s not looking good
bruv “
Well done Sam lad! Would be interested to hear how the train journey was, how the tube was at the other end and when you started feeling normal again!
I ran my first marathon in Edinburgh last year. I recognised a lot of the roads in this video, bringing back a lot of memories
Just done that few weeks ago and its no problem doing marathon with no training as long as you dont have to hit any specific time
One of your best Fergus. Keep at it. Sam keep pushing the limit. Great work
Well done Sam. Congrats
Sam your an absolute legend- my hero!
Well done Sam! You are my hero. Word for word.
Awesome mustache and awesome performance.
Respect for completing with no training Sam 🤟. Got Prague marathon tomorrow but at least I have done training and goal of 4hrs is my target!
I randomly had the thought come into my head if I can run a marathon without training, well done Sam you’re my hero for showing me it can be done. We on
I recently ran a marathon after 1 week of training after 8 weeks of no run due to a hip fracture, half was fine but the rest was a slog and Barcalona was hot
Thats a great achievement Sam! Nice work to stick it out and finish the whole thing.
So the answer to the headline question is yes, with careful planning and pacing. Well done!
Sam's moustache reminds me of the old pugilist photos of the early 20's, and Sam seems to be made of the same stock. Good on him for sticking it out!
Completing a marathon with no training is definitely achievable but not many can run the entire 26 miles with no training unless you are into some other sport or fitness regime. Fair play to anyone that does it though. I've run over 100 marathons and still struggle without any training but its all about goals and what you want from the experience
Welldone Sam
You are my Hero 😂
Great video guys
I trained for 6 months specifically on cardio before my first 1/2 marathon and at 42 years old i ran it in 1:53
I ran 5 organised half events and then a few longer training runs before running my first full marathon in 4:32 at age 44
At 57 years old my half pb is 1:43 and my full pb is 3:57 after many years of running
To run full with virtually no cardio training at all is very brave
Welldone again
🏃♂️👍
