18 weeks of 80/20 training, countless speed sessions, hundreds of Zone 2 miles logged on the Dartmoor and it all comes down to one race. Since starting running 4 years ago, it’s been my dream to run a marathon in under 3 hours - after all this training, can I run my first marathon in under 3 hours? Join me for my first ever marathon, at Manchester, with mile by mile updates using the GoPro HERO 10.

@@TheVeganRunner zone 2 🤣🤣 I’m in zone 4 getting out of bed 😜 seriously Lee I would be walking for zone 2, I’m lucky to hit zone 4 I’m nearly always zone 5 🥵🥵

@TheVeganRunner 2 года назад

@@coops111s Have you tried a LTHR test to determine your zones? A lot of people get frustrated when they start with Z2 as they often find they need to stop and walk or go a lot slower than they’re used to which feels deflating at first. Those that have stuck with it, and walk when they need to get the HR back in the right zone, soon find the body adapts and you can run longer/faster in Z2. I had to walk a lot of hills when I first started with it, my HR would jump out of zone straight away. Now I can run a local, mile long hill into the top of the moor whilst staying in Z2 😊

@TheVeganRunner 2 года назад

Good luck with Manchester - it's a great course - very gently undulating with a slightly hilly section at around mile 15/16. It's nothing major, but it does catch people out!

@wowsa0 2 года назад

I'm the vegan runner you passed at 10:50! It's great to find out that you made sub-3, I was wondering how you got on. Massive congratulations! You paced it perfectly and made it look easy! It was my first marathon too, and I was also hoping to go under 3 hours, but I missed it by quite a bit in the end. I held the pace until about 21.5 miles in and then it all started to go wrong. I finished in just under 3.15, with Michael. It was a great experience though, I'll just have to try again now!

@TheVeganRunner 2 года назад

Ah that’s great - nice to ‘meet’ you again - I saw in Michael’s post that you both finished together 💚🖤 I’d heard a lot from others that you pay for going out too hard at the start so I tried to hold back a bit. It was around the 22 mile mark it got tough for me too and the last couple of miles was about holding on. Amazing experience as you say and huge respect for anyone who runs a marathon after that. Have you got anywhere in mind for the next one?

@wowsa0 2 года назад

@@TheVeganRunner I'll probably do Manchester again! It's local to me and a fast course. I won't be doing the one in April though, I think I need a break from marathons for a bit longer than that 😁

@TheVeganRunner 2 года назад

Haha that’s fair! I’m looking at Brighton in April… sounds flat and fast and would like to mix it up as I have a tendency of running the same races (think it’s the park runner in me!). Any idea what you might train for in between?

@@TheVeganRunner I'd like to start doing more fell and trail running again. I got into it just before Covid, running in the peak district, but then during lockdown I wasn't able to get out there any more.
