I Ran a Marathon Doing LAPS - Olympic Trials Qualifier Attempt 

😂

Thank you! The next one will have to be pretty soon tbh 😅

Thank you! I really went for it, I’ll get it next time!

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.

It’ll come! I want to make sure I tell the story well. Good luck with your junior seasons!

This isn’t over..

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?

Indeed, conditions were really good

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

I got a nice hertz donut on my first college track trip 😂

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 🤷‍♂️

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

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!
