How I Ran A Sub 3.30 Marathon | Training Tips 

Sitting in North Carolina watching this thinking (sincerely confused), " What does he mean by 'R'?" Only to discover he is saying "hour." Haha. Love it. Great job man!

Good luck and Ihope you achieve your goal! Sub 3 is really awesome!

Thanks for all this advice !

Great job and advice.

Good job, simple and fair.

More practical advices. Thanks!

awesome video!

Great, I ran 3:27 last February in Riyadh, 56 years old 😊

I mainly train at a lower heart rate which for me has had a huge benefit. I try to do my long runs at around 143 BPM and let me be the first to say that it truly helps when it comes to picking up the pace for longer distances. #MAF

It's interesting how every runner varies. I reduced mileage, ran slower, was less focused on speed, and ran with headphones, improving my time.

Most interesting tip for me was ditching the headphones. I’m think I’ve heard some races don’t even allow them and yet I’ve never considered running without them. Same boat as you, too, usually high BPM EDM music. I wonder if it’s throwing my heart rate, breathing, and cadence off. 🤔 I do really well keeping my breathing and everything under control on a treadmill, but as soon as I hit the pavement I take off like a madman racing there and back ASAP. Will definitely try to go headphoneless in this next training block. 32 weeks out so lots of time :)

Brilliant video James... I'm just starting to train for my first marathon at the end of October so roughly 25 weeks away. Aiming for a sub 4 hour time but trying to fit in gym sessions as well... so just wondering if you'd share your training plan. I'm quite devoted when I take something on so would be fairly rigid in following a clear plan. Cheers Gary Ireland

Put in the miles, drop weight, speed and hill work once a week. My first and only marathon at age 28 was 2:59. Didn’t think it was healthy for me to continue with this long of a distance. Downgraded to 10k

Hi! Cannot find marathon plan . Can you share as when am clicking the file my calendar opens but nothing else

really enjoyed the common-sense approach to your marathon training; what's your next goal?

What was your weekly mileage like? Did you increase your weekly mileage between your first marathon and your 3:28 marathon? What about your longest runs?

did you also make weight training?

What was your weekly mileage?

I don’t see the training plan

So when the thumbnail said 13 weeks you actually mean 3 years 🤔

I have tried running to music. Hate it. Running is an escape from modern life and all its problems to me.

What is your day job?

Your first marathon was in 2020. In 2020 marathons were cancelled due to COVID 19.

Finally a humane video

My life sucks

3 RRRRRRsss 😂🤦
