2022 was a PR in Manchester, 2023 was a PR also in Manchester, can we make it 3 in a row in 2024 ? Lets see Lets go Race !
Ive had a great training block, so I've got no excuses today - lets hunt down that 3hr10.
Chapters: 00:00 Start, 05:00 5in, 10:00 10in, 15:00 15in

You have a particular talent for looking fresh at the end of races. Everyone looked like they'd been through the wars in that last km, while you looked like you were topping off an easy training run!

@RunThePlanet 5 месяцев назад

Thanks Yellowfolder 😄 Yeah maybe I'm focusing on too strong at the end. Need to go faster at the start. Believe me I was struggling 🥵 but trying to smile for the camera 😁 though the support makes us smile too.

@RunFreeandStrong 5 месяцев назад

Matt, thanks for bringing us along your training journey and race. Congrats on running a great 3:30 Manchester marathon. You have a lot of opportunities ahead of you, and 3:10 will happen.

@RunThePlanet 5 месяцев назад

Thanks Reto 😃 your welcome 😁 yeah I'm quite happy with it overall, I wasn't downbeat after. Took some effort to grind through, but more to come hopefully. Summers looking a bit thin on the race calendar for me at the moment, I need to book a few in 😃

@TheWu 5 месяцев назад

You looked quite good at the end that’s really positive. We go again mate !

@RunThePlanet 5 месяцев назад

Thanks Will 😃 a few people said that, which is encouraging thanks. Yeah we will go again. You were so close ! I had Boston 2025 in the back of my mind 😲 have to be the following year I think now 😞 but I think I know what I need to fix or tweak next time round, and I feel I've got my overall training structure to a place where I want it. Funny isn't it - before the race we think the training has been right, but only after we loose the race we can see the flaws 🤣🤣 I think a few Half's coming up soon

@gdl9902 5 месяцев назад

Enjoyed the video mate, brought back great memories. Slightly warmer than last year!

@RunThePlanet 5 месяцев назад

Thanks Gary, yeah it was a bit warmer. No excuses from me though 😂 enjoyed it as much as the last year too 😃 How was your race, six you achieve your goal ?

@gdl9902 5 месяцев назад

@ricd2821 5 месяцев назад

Well done Matt 👍 see you went through half in 1:37, its a great race support was amazing felt a bit more crowded this year on the roads though... sure 3:15 time will come, you are nearly there, maybe a focus on half mara speed and frequent 'medium-long' steady state runs with less emphasis on very long 35+ km runs.... hard to say just got to dig into the data and youll get there! Keep it going 👏👍

@RunThePlanet 5 месяцев назад

Thanks Ric 😄 Yeah was a cracking first half and even more so because I was holding back on the pace slightly. More to come yes, but better start making some progress soon as I'm not getting any younger 😂

@PoetWithPace 5 месяцев назад

Well done buddy and looking so fresh and relaxed at the finish line!

@RunThePlanet 5 месяцев назад

@tworunningbrooms 5 месяцев назад

You are always so positive whatever happens. Thanks for the clip of Dawn at 10k. FWIW I dont think a faster start would have helped you in the final 10k. You need to get a Newcastle Quayside Marathon organised 😂😂😂

@RunThePlanet 5 месяцев назад

You I just realised I had now caffeine gels this time 😲 Usually I got 2 or 3. Yes they actually have a Newcastle Gateshead marathon this year, I think with run through, 3 lap course though and so a hill you run 3 times, maybe one day.

@benchandler3220 5 месяцев назад

Well done Matt. Good training block. I’m convinced you’re capable of running a much faster time than that. I’d love to see you get a coach for 12mths.

@RunThePlanet 5 месяцев назад

Thank you Ben. A coach for 12 months would be good, I'm not sure I could find the time or money but I've thought about from time to time. Maybe one day 😀

@neilrobins4253 5 месяцев назад

Slow down at the start - you will always feel good in first half but then get ambushed by something later if perhaps gone even few %s to fast - took me 11 attempts to get to 3.15 so I've learnt from experience!

@RunThePlanet 5 месяцев назад

Thanks Neil, I'd actually held back a bit in comparison to last year and had around 3hr15 in my mind if the 3hr10 wasn't on, but that's how it goes. Maybe slowdown even more next time 😂

@neilrobins4253 5 месяцев назад

@RunThePlanet sometimes it's just one of those days and you can't pinpoint one particular reason. I know I have had races where all looked great even up to 20 miles than faded badly despite good training and nutrition. Great race though

@raleyadventures 5 месяцев назад

You still ran great and still got it done, creds to you and great watching along, we hope you aren't disappointed 😊😊

@RunThePlanet 5 месяцев назад

@Paulrunsdaily 5 месяцев назад

Great video! Hope you’re not too disappointed with your time. You looked very fresh at the end, sub3 is round the corner. Well done

@RunThePlanet 5 месяцев назад

Thank you Paul 🙂 Well I am slightly disappointed with time but not too much 😁 There's positives to take from this, and 3 years ago if you'd have offered me a 3hr30 today, id have taken it 😁 Been chasing 3hr10 for a while now so still there's work to do. But I'm already thinking about the next one, how I want to train, what I need to do. First I'll rest up 🥱 put the body back together before we go again.

@Paulrunsdaily 5 месяцев назад

@@RunThePlanet a great attitude. Stick with it and you’ll get your reward.

@RunThePlanet 5 месяцев назад

@@Paulrunsdaily thank you Paul 😄 Probably the only time I spat my dummy out was Valencia last december, and that only lasted a few minutes 🤣 I had to force it a bit at the end but when we see that finish line it gets easier. Sub3 seems far away at the moment, but I'll keep trying 🙂

@rundomness 5 месяцев назад

Thanks Kenny, yeah it's looking like some Half's in the short term, but more marathons to come later I'm sure 😄

@LeszekDeska 5 месяцев назад

Congrats Mat! Not the best time for you but still it was a marathon - it's always huge effort and to be honest - really good performance (even if you think otherwise :) ). So congrats again!

@RunThePlanet 5 месяцев назад

Thanks Leszek 😀 so let's say best marathon of the year then 😂 ...so far. Ive got to find another one...🤔 But a little break will help alot and some smaller events coming up to keep me keen

@LeszekDeska 5 месяцев назад

@@RunThePlanet yes, good idea! I'm running marathons only twice a year to avoid overtraining... in between I'm running shorter distances. We have Consittution Day on 3rd May - will run 5K on that day in Warsaw - I also encourage you to try such shorter races now (after resting of course!)

@RunThePlanet 5 месяцев назад

@@LeszekDeska I know many go for the 5k and 10k. I did 20min a while ago in the 5k but find it too short to keep going at it (lazy in a way maybe) but I'll maybe do a 10k or 2. But really enjoy the half marathons too.

@LeszekDeska 5 месяцев назад

@@RunThePlanet me too, I already signed up for two races: that Consitution Run and "Bieg Ursynowa" (eng. Ursynów Run), both 5K. Will look for some half still this year and I need to prepare for Valencia this December :)

@AndyCliffMTB 5 месяцев назад

Hi Matt, great video and you looked really composed in that footage, 3:30 is still a great time😊I was there and was sure I’d see you at the 4 and 6 mile marks but I just couldn’t spot you, I managed to see and film @thewu and @harryruns1. If I can find out your actual start time (Strava) I can check my footage more carefully but I’m thinking you might have been buried in that huge 3:15 pack. Did 39K on the bike and went to 6/7 more watch points and the recovery zone but no joy, sorry I missed you😕 Anyway it was such a great day, I’ll be putting together a video from my perspective, chasing down back roads and canals to get ahead😂 I’m doing Manchester 1/2 in October too, my first 1/2😀

Thanks Andy, and thanks for your efforts. Yes I think I was in that 3hr15 pack for a while, I'd love to know what time he finished, 3hr12 I recon. I started 9am20 or that was the schedule. Good you caught Wu and the others 😃 39k on the bike, phenomenal!!
