Congrats on your first marathon Tyler! I did my first one last month and going into it my goal was sub 3:15. I ended up getting 2:59:08 which I am beyond happy with
@@sugarcooki03 Honestly I passed the 3 hour pace group at like mile 2 and I made it my goal to not let them pass me for the rest of the race. I went in knowing it would hurt a lot so I was ready when it got painful at mile 18 but I just pushed through all the way until the finish line.
Congrats! I started running a year ago and on august did my first Half Marathon race at a huge pb of 1:38:47 (i did run the distance and greater than it before, but never raced). I look forward to my marathon debut next year where i'm aiming for sub-3:30, but seeing someone like you who's much faster than me aiming for sub-3:30 definately intimidates me.
Excellent run. Great way to start your marathon career. It was smart for you to go out conservatively, with such a long race, it is better to pick up the pace at the last 10k. I've hit the wall before, so I know how excruciating it can be, but you finished with a great time. Congrats!
LET"S FREAKIN GOOO TYLERR!!!!!! that's crazy time!!!! You. got. way. more in you man next up sub 3 hour. marathon!!!! And don't forget to get some gels in!
Congrats. My fist marathon was Boston and I was a bandit. They have the hills from 17 to 20, so you definitely feel the wall then. Back then (2001) they just took the ropes away about 3 minutes before the gun and I squeezed through to get as close to the start as possible. The first 3 to 4 miles was mostly people walking as it was so packed. I was dodging mailboxes, starting and stopping to get a pace. I finished in 3:12 for my first. Pain is not linear, is what I kept telling myself when things started to hurt. A couple of years later, with a better starting system (shoots) I ran 3:11. I never broke that 3 hour mark I wanted, and have had some much, much slower ones, so appreciate the good ones. I think, if not for the first 3 or so miles, I could have come closer to breaking 3 hours on my first marathon as I was in the best shape ever.
Congrats on your debut marathon!! The first marathon is always the most painful. It gets better as you do more and I speak from experience. Recently ran my first international marathon in Oslo in September and my god that course was unforgiving. 1200ft of climbing with big climbs at mile 11 and 23 with 10 percent gradient near the top. Ran 2:49:19 that day.
Well, last Sunday I ran my third marathon in Enschede and crushed my PR with 23:15 minutes to 3:17:52 minutes. So you beat me with 1.40 minutes. At the start I knew I could beat easily the 3:30 hours, but a marathon is a marathon and you don’t know what could happen. Well it went very well, as you can see at the time. Impressive that you ran this without any gels and on your first marathon. Sub 3 hours should be an option for you.
I thought it was going to be a 2:16. Oh well, you still have some opportunities to get an Olympic trials qualifier where you only need a sub-2:18, if you want to get it done.
Well done, based on your mile time and general ability i will bet my last dollar that you can run much faster than 3:16 if you put your mind to it in the next marathon you can probably break 3 easily
For someone who’s done five, the first one is ALWAYS the hardest! If you would’ve pushed yourself slightly harder in the beginning, you would’ve been close to a sub-3… guarantee the next one will be a sub-3 💯
70 mile weeks for 320? I was on 3 hour pace after 6 weeks training at 50 miles, having jumped straight to the distance as hm was my distance before (prior experience was 3-440 mile weeks, but just came back froma 10 week injury of doing nothing , no x-training, and 2 years or so at 40-45 , but with lack of structure and alot of just jogging due to a re-occurring g injury.) 320 should be achievable with 50 maximum I would have thought, unless you're a complete newbiee, but if you've been around for a year or so in the running game
