I did half marathon last year and just finished 10K last Sunday. I got through 7K but I struggled with the last 3 K but I managed to complete it. I struggled with my breathing. Thanks so much for this tip. I'm not so sore today so I'm planning to run back tomorrow aiming between 2-4K. 😊
This is amazing! I am training for my first marathon now and I am so psyched! I am building out my van to live in and I'm road tripping to cali in May for my first marathon! Woohoo!!!
I haven’t really ran in a year and a half. When my daughter was at home for cyber school, I found I couldn’t squeeze runs in. Not that she is in school, I’m back to running 3/4 days a week. I got a long way to go to get back where I was but these tips will definitely help. Thanks TRE!!!
Agree with this! I understand how when speaking it's natural to just use what you're used to but in editing if you add KM to the text on screen it would be helpful
Can’t wait to do my first marathon! Will be using all the knowledge I’ve learned from The Run Experience!… ps who are the 6 who didn’t like this video?
Thanks for all your awesome videos! I got the hair brained idea to go for a local marathon in October. I have done three half marathons and two 10-mile trail races, so not new to running. I just did a 10 mile race last weekend. The marathon is in 9 weeks. Is this a realistic goal?
Good video coach Morgan, I’ve been running for a few years now, I know most of stuff I should know for how to train for a marathon, but is really good to be reminded with your helpful training tips, thanks 👍😀
Running is one of the best cardio exercises there is but not everyone is built to do it for great or even short distances. Skeletal and muscular structures, in addition to your VO2 Max readings and vascular health, come into play. I've discouraged numerous aspirants from training for a marathon. Basically, unless you love running don't make it a habit.
That’s my problem I’m focused on going fast and gas out fast ruining the run itself. Gotta stay disciplined. But when I go slower it feels like I strike the ground harder causing MCLs to get a bit aggravated any advice good people?
I'm having hamstring issues with training for my first marathon (not till December). It's doing sprints and speed that got me (and I am NOT fast!). I hope I'm good to keep running on speed days, but just keep it easy. Not looking to PR or BQ- just finish in an upright position!
You dont need to do sprints whilst you are training for the marathon Shannon, the marathon is virtually 100% fueled by the areobic energy system, you should do some speedwork if you have run a marathon in the past, but not sprints.
Loved the video. I’m currently downloading app but it seems like it goes up to half marathon only for plans. I’m sure I’m mistaken but I don’t want to subscribe then find this out. I’m training for my first marathon which is in October. (Argh)
Training for my first half marathon next month. My main question is what is suggested to do within 24-48 hours post race or even the week after. My coach suggested to do heavy lifting like back squats and bench presses. I’m all for it, but just curious what do you do post race?
He suggested you do heavy presses or back squats within 24-48 hours?? Are you trolling? Lol Bench press - you’ll be fine. If you do 5x5 heavy squats 1-2 days prior to running a half or full, GOOD LUCK
@@annatevesbanzon1359 It's when you walk and run. So for example, you could wear a sports watch which let's you know when you get to your max target heart rate. For you You may choose 120 or 140 for example. You'll have to know your max heart rate or target heat rates and you can find articles online to do that. When you reach your chosen target, you stop running and walk to the heart rate drops to a lower level eg 100 to 115 whatever you decide on them start running again. Or do the same thing with leg aches or breathlessness. Walk when you get to a certain point, then start running again when the feeling is much better. If you dont push yourself too hard you may be able to do much more. And stop when it gets too difficult. Consistency and regular sessions are more important than how much you do each time. Aim to be a good runner in 5 years not 5 months. Slow and easy wins the race.
Why are my legs tanked after just 6,5 K? I’ve worked up to it but instead of becoming less sore I only become more sore after each session? It seems like it should be the opposite.
I was a runner, maybe I still am? I blame 2019, a foot engery and Menopause. (Yep I said it) Am I missing the 50+ lady runners. I promise you different stuff is happening. Like I have to pee constantly. Ugh!
I have bn training for a 25k.which is in 5 weeks,but I went hiking out rest and thought I would be able to still stay on my training schedule.well that didn't happen.i hiked alot .but didn't run in 10 days ,so what do I do now how do I restart ? I feel like I just lost all I trained for ,
The biggest thing to know when training for your first marathon is that anyone can do it.... it doesnt matter your background or even your weight.... the biggest thing when working your first marathon is to remember that hydrating yourself as well as the participants is just as important. I made the mistake while in my first marathon by accidently handing one of the runners my coffee instead of the cup of water... that was bad... so never have a hot beverage in one hand while the runners are going by...... also use distilled water.. runners hate sparkling or flavored waters.. never kool aid either I found out... a runner in Chicago said I cost him the marathon by giving him kool aid.. im not so sure about that since he was from Kenya but lesson learned. either way enjoy your first marathon... they are super easy...like bartending at a wedding...... just hand out the water and then hopefully party with some other marathoners after the running thing is over. also you are probably going to get puked on if you work the finish line.
