Disposable bottles for marathon fueling

Next race mentality: pr or er

Good job man, till next one!! Loved keeping up with you and your journey!
Thank you! The next one will have to be pretty soon tbh 😅
Dude, amazing effort! 👏👏👏👏
Thank you! I really went for it, I’ll get it next time!
I can see myself watching your videos... Thanks for the motivation bro 😊
Glad to hear it! I'll keep them coming
Oh I looking forward to watching.. I am also a marathoner... A Bahamian from the Bahamas but currently training in Kenya.. Your videos gives me a lot of motivation. I do train with guys who run 2:03/04 but seeing the come up from youtube channel... its awesome.
Keep up the good content, I’d love to hear more about ur experience as a walk on at BYU, I’m a junior in HS and BYU is my top school
It’ll come! I want to make sure I tell the story well. Good luck with your junior seasons!
It’s cool to see Jake out training for the 50 mile distance
Next time Michael. I'm cheering for you😥
This isn’t over..
Dude, I love some novablast 2 and 3, but I've never heard of anyone doing low 5's in them, not even close to that pace, but glad to see they are capable though.
Yeah they are pretty fast for a trainer! I did some mid 4:40s on the track last week with the 2s as well. Definitely a capable shoe!
But I should point out that it’s not my shoe of choice for workouts at all. It’s a great daily mileage trainer. I’m usually in some kind of super shoe for fast stuff
@@mottesen_runsI also like the novablast 3 for daily training. What supershoe do you wear for workouts?
michael is cool
Maybe it’s the flexibility of your legs and tendons that’s causing the lockups. Have you tried yoga or extensive stretching?
Interesting thought. I haven’t explored that much, I’ll look into it! One thing that’s promising is that this race was MUCH better than previous ones, so something is working
also running laps kinda sucks at least in my opinion. A different course maybe would suit you better.@@mottesen_runs
Nice to hear the old hertz donut
I got a nice hertz donut on my first college track trip 😂
Rockland park is super flat. Good race.
Indeed, conditions were really good
How many miles a week do you run? Everyone I've known who experiences this type of cramping issue just wasn't doing enough weekly mileage to support the goal pace over the marathon distance.
I wish it was that simple… I averaged around 110 miles per week for the 8 weeks leading up, peaking at 120. Which is common mileage for guys running 2:10, I’m only trying to run 2:16. So I don’t think that’s the problem, but maybe I need more 🤷♂️
Is it safe to do an all-out marathon every 1.5 to 2 months? Will you even be able to perform come trials? Won’t you be going into trials hella fatigued and unable to shave another 10mins off your PR?
Very valid question! It’s unusual to run this many marathons. I don’t want this to come off the wrong way, but im not worried about it for a couple reasons.
1. My cramping has inhibited my ability to run as fast as my fitness is ready for. Overall this 2:18 wasn’t too bad aerobically, but the cramping was really painful and seriously hurt my time.
2. I don’t have a choice if I want to make the trials and run them;) so im gonna do it even if I won’t be at my best
Yay chiropractors!!
do you coach runners?
I had started… but I’ve decided I don’t quite have the bandwidth at the moment to take on coaching how I would like. But I hope to in the future!
