Last week I went to Portugal to run the Lisbon Marathon in 31 degree heat.
In this vlog I take you from the glory of carb loading to the crushing misery or actually running.

I’m hoping to do my 1st Half in the spring, idea of doing a Full terrifies me. Massive respect Robbie

You'll smash it! Just stick to a training plan and it'll be fine.

Well done Robbie! Next time you do a marathon you should check if they have a pasta party before it. We went to the one in Amsterdam and was really fun and plenty carb loading

@RobbieKnox 9 месяцев назад

@jennifermatthews1983 9 месяцев назад

Ah brilliant review. I also did this marathon. Best course route i ever done and i didnt feel the miles going

@RobbieKnox 9 месяцев назад

Yeah, I loved the course so much. Couldn’t believe how the miles ticked by!

@markopenshaw9 9 месяцев назад

Well done mate, Lisbon is a hard course. I did it in 2016 and the heat nearly killed me, id recommend avoiding Stockholm for this reason. It's in June and far too hot, think it was 36 degrees! Spring PB races, if you can fit enough training in time id recommend Seville in Feb, Barca in March or Vienna in April. Well done again

Well done Robbie for someone who describes themselves as rank most of the time completing multiple marathons is very impressive! Would be v interesting to hear how you personally train for them!

@RobbieKnox 9 месяцев назад

It's all lovely and there's so much cheap accommodation. We stayed in Alfama which was lovely but full of tourists (like us). It's very hilly so make sure you don't stay somewhere that will knacker your legs before the race!

@kieranclarke9461 9 месяцев назад

Would you do an Ironman, Robbie? I’ve only just started running and the furthest I’ve gone so far is 12km but I think I could finish a half marathon without any training, maybe 3 months worth of training and eating well to finish a full one? Any in the UK you would recommend for a first marathon? I live in Birmingham so any close?

@fishstar2974 9 месяцев назад

@RobbieKnox 9 месяцев назад

@sgtpluck8344 2 месяца назад

Forget the carb loading. Carbs merely spike blood sugar and you end up with highs and lows. Eat lots of good fat in the weeks before. Meat, fish, nuts, etc....the release of energy is much more consistent.

@RobbieKnox 2 месяца назад

Have you got a source for this? Everything I’ve read has advised carb loading in the 24-36 hours before the race?

@jolleyolley1204 9 месяцев назад

Drinking before a half marathon is wild

@jimmycornflake2636 9 месяцев назад

Robbie, serious question. What's the chance of me for going from couch to running a marathon in the next 6 months?

@RobbieKnox 9 месяцев назад

I'd say it's entirely possible. I'd start with the NHS couch to 5k programme that takes 9 weeks, then do a 16 week beginners marathon training schedule. When I did my first marathon I struggled to do 5k at the start so it's doable, you just really need to stick to the training.

@runfoodfun 9 месяцев назад

A little bit of information and clarification about the starting times, the organisation was forced by the "proteção civil" to change to 1 hour early in a final meeting during that day. I'm not saying that the organisation is perfect, far from it...

@RobbieKnox 9 месяцев назад

Ah, that’s interesting. I wonder why it was left so late? Totally agree it was the right thing to do, just very late in the day!
