Great video. Congrats on your big PR on this! I am running Indy Monumental for my first marathon this year. I've run 14 half's but this will be my first full. Been enjoying the training process. My goal is 3:37:10. Hoping for good weather.

@MichaelMenafee 2 дня назад

Thank you for the video! 👏🏾. Sorry about the hotel situation. The park is Bertha Ross Park. To second you, around mile 20 is hard with the quietness

@archibaldmatewe838 22 дня назад

Thanks for the video. I am looking for a marathon on November 9 to celebrate my 60th birthday. This looks like an awesome race.

@FreshBrewRunClub 20 дней назад

Great to hear! Can't think of a better way to celebrate a birthday! Hope your training is going well.

Enjoyed your video and congrats on a great race. I have ran the Monumental 6 times, and it was a joy to relive those marathons. "It was a good day for a run"

Thank you! I had a blast! (helps that I got a PR)

@Zachinthus09 10 месяцев назад

Mile 18 and 19 is Newfields. It's a park area that contains the Indy Museum of Art. That part is pretty desolate like you said.

@FreshBrewRunClub 10 месяцев назад

Got it, makes sense. Fortunately most of the rest of the course had great fan support

@Iz_Singer 29 дней назад

lol I get that. Living in Indy and I still get confused tryna park in that area

I'm running this race this year (2024). Thanks for the video. Got me pumped!

Awesome! It's a really great race. Hoping you finish the summer strong and run well!

Yo! I was between this and the Colombia City Veterans marathon. They are both chip-timed and BQers, but CC is closer to where I live, so I went with that. Have you done the Colombia City half or full marathons?

@FreshBrewRunClub 9 дней назад

@@mcfarvoI’ve only done Indy!

@srinivaiyapuri3674 4 месяца назад

Just ran Bayshore marathon didn't go well as I planned. Now, I am thinking to do fall marathon, which one is better Indy or our home turf Detroit for faster and weather condition?

@FreshBrewRunClub 4 месяца назад

Sorry to hear that! I would say Indy is better for pure speed, but Detroit is more interesting. Indy is almost completely flat, with minimal twists and turns as far as a city course goes. Detroit has bigger hills, most notably the bridge to Canada and tunnel back to the US. Nothing too wild, but if you start out too fast, the bridge will ruin your day (happened to me in 2017). But it’s a cool route in downtown Detroit and Windsor. I plan on running it again in the next couple years. Hope this is helpful!

I was also in your 3:30 pace group. When you look back and see the pace group late in the race I am in the purple camo shirt. Your video really brings back some memories of that day. I finished 3:28:32. Great race and thanks for sharing your experience.

@FreshBrewRunClub 6 месяцев назад

Awesome! It was a great race. I’m happy our group went out a little fast, it definitely pushed me more than I thought I could go

@lifegogglesruns 10 месяцев назад

I ran the Monumental as well, it was my first full. Our experiences sound very similar. I fueled every 30 mins on the dot (I used Honey Stringers) and miles 21/22 is when it started to get real for me too. You were an hour faster than me though haha.

@lexington476 10 месяцев назад

1:53 should have actively chosen to rent a yurt for the marathon. You could have just set up right in the middle of some park 😀. Actually, better idea you need to invest in a yurt so instead of bringing like a camper trailer you bring your own yurt 😀.

@FreshBrewRunClub 10 месяцев назад

You have given me an idea for a cross-country RV trip to run a bunch of marathons....

@tribalbeat6471 4 месяца назад

14:40 I think you are talking about the Newfields Museum grounds. Agreed that area and the next mile or two is kind of "where the hell am I?" 19:05 wild that first time marathoner doing a 3:30 at mile 25.

@FreshBrewRunClub 4 месяца назад

Yep, that was it. And the runner at 19 mins was great! I don’t think I ever passed her! Very impressive

@RunJLC 10 месяцев назад

Dope recap! Very informative on the race and I would highly suggest anyone to run the Monumental as well. It's crazy how similar of a start that we had to our races lol, btw it was also dope to see that you trained using the Hanson Marathon Method as well. I pretty much stuck to plan using that system and I'm glad that I did, I felt well prepared for this race even though I didn't run any 20 milers during training. Did you apply for Chicago 2024?

@lexington476 10 месяцев назад

0:53 oh come on, we can at least say the best of the average 🙂.

You know you're comment about third party booking but me once as well. I book a hotel for a race, and I found a really good price on a third party website. well something comes up and I can't go or don't want to go to the race. So I called her 800 number to cancel the room and I just sit on hold for an hour, nobody ever picks up. I end up disputing the charge on my credit card to get my money back 🙂. I always book directly now through the hotel website. And I never use the race Hotel because in my experience they're always a lot more expensive than getting a another hotel or motel nearby.

@FreshBrewRunClub 10 месяцев назад

Yep, I have heard some horror stories about 3rd parties as well. The price through the marathon was actually cheaper than the hotel's own website, but I guess you get what you pay for

@runwithbritters 10 месяцев назад

Great breakdown! I've never utilized the pace groups before but I'm thinking of trying to stick with one for my upcoming race. As they say, you know you've hit the Michigan state line when it feels like you're driving on the moon! 😅

@FreshBrewRunClub 10 месяцев назад

They were very helpful for me at the beginning, as I tend to start out too fast in the first half. They also kept the mood light, which calmed me down.

@undercoverk3vin 10 месяцев назад

Oooh FWIW, the Westin did give me late checkout (2PM) even though I booked through the race. It might help that I’m a lifetime gold member? But I did hear other folks asking for it at check in.

@joekern4474 2 месяца назад

Cool video. It's fun to hear an out of Towner perspective on the race. I'm a trail runner who has done this race in the past. Not a big fan of the crowds. All in all it's a great race.

@FreshBrewRunClub 2 месяца назад

Thanks for watching! I like the crowds for marathons, and silence during all my other runs

@lexington476 10 месяцев назад

19:24 math and racing doesn't go together. You should picture being in the middle of a bicycle race trying to count laps after you lose count, especially if you didn't start your bicycle computer at the right time 🙂.

@FreshBrewRunClub 10 месяцев назад

I once lost count of laps during an indoor track meet. 16 laps and I had no idea where I was.

Great breakdown. What do you think were the biggest things that got you from 3:49 to 3:27? More mileage? (I just ran a 3:56 and would love to get to 3:30.) Thanks!

@FreshBrewRunClub 10 месяцев назад

Thanks for watching! For me, the biggest thing was consistency. I struggled with injuries, sickness, and bad weather in all my previous marathon attempts. This time, I completed almost all the workouts and it paid off. There's no cutting corners while marathon training. I did the Hanson's plan, and took the warmups and cooldowns seriously (added 2-3 miles to each of my difficult runs), so I ended up doing a lot more mileage and a lot more hard workouts (speed, strength and tempo runs). It wasn't easy at certain points, but I felt stronger than ever.

@LayneBracy1 10 месяцев назад

Looks like it all came together for you to produce such a dramatic improvement. Thanks again and best wishes for your next endeavors.🙂
