Can’t wait to see how you evolve this year!! ⚡️⚡️⚡️

This channel deserves way more subs than 131.000 - Good work.

The middle distance race footage though 🔥🔥🔥

I wish you the best. Comebacks are usually the strongest moves

I'm going to help you get rid of the gym excuse for when you are traveling: plenty of bodyweight strength moves you can do in your hotel room when on the road! Excited to watch this series!

I totally agree about training 4 months and hope for 1 marathon to hit the time. I find the 2nd marathon within a month our body got stronger.

Really looking forward to this series. Good luck Matt, this will be your year! 🔥 PS: Your channel got me from just getting into marathoning running 3:30 in 2019 and now it’s my life - going for sub 2:30 in the fall. Best training channel on the Tube

EASILY my *TOP* favorite channel on RU-vid (other two are TC and GTN). Many thanks, Matt!

Good luck, Matt. Excited to see how your training and SE evolves. You've got so many people (virtually) rooting for you to smash 2.20 this year.

Respect to your dedication and commitment!

Excited for the new series!!! Thank you so much for the content that Sweat Elite puts out! It really fills a missing gap in the running space.

9 marathons in 2 1/2years? That’s insane! Good luck.

The content we all love! A good old marathon series, kudos SE

Really cool stuff! I’m looking forward to the series and will become a share holder. I’m a sponge and hope this will all help me to run a sub 3 in the autumn. Keep it up. Love SE

Great update. Love your content, Matt. Started following for the pro sessions but stuck around for you. Your channel has been a positive influence to my own running over the past couple years. No problem at all with you funding things however you can with the value you provide.

Sweat elite is definitely one of my favorite youtube channels! Can’t even imagine how much work it is to put these videos out there! Thanks for sharing such outstanding content with us… good luck with your project, can’t wait to watch all the videos! 👏🏾👏🏾

this is my favorite series on RU-vid. excited to see the companys and matts journey this year

Really excited to watch this series. Good luck Matt!

Maybe it's because I'm a new runner - age 41 coming into running as a cyclist, started in October 2023 - but it's the curiosity and the drive to improve yourself as a runner, irrespective of anyone else, that really has me so engaged with your journey Matt. I found this awesome channel around November I think, and fell in love with the Ekiden content which was perfectly suited for my background (I've lived in Japan and my wife is from Japan, spend 2 months there every year) but then found your Kenya stuff and I have to say I think this is the most exciting running channel I've found on RU-vid. Also it's cool to follow your workouts on Strava. Very excited for you this year Matt you're going to crush your PB get it!

These series are great because they give us so much. The main things I take from them are session ideas (and how they're going to look/feel), and motivation from seeing the up/downs etc., that are so relatable, and how they pan out over the training week.

Buzzing for this series mate! It was class following along with the previous ones. I’m really interested to see how this low mileage, high speed approach works out (esp. as it’s basically the complete opposite to my training 😂). Good luck, let’s get ittttt 💪

Happy to hear ads for this content - don't worry about it, Matt!

pumped for the new series! you got this, matt! LFG!

good luck! my favorite video series back here ✌

Been following since the first series. Looking forward to seeing your new approach! Best of luck!

Looking forward to the series

This is the real deal. Love the frank and open narrative man.

This channel series is so so interesting. Can't wait to see how Matt gets on following this new program. Listened to the podcast yesterday and I was surprised that Matt will not increase his training volume/mileage increase till maybe the last 6 weeks before his major marathon race. It sometimes appears all backwards to me so will be very interesting to follow and see the progress. Really wish Matt the best.

Let’s go Matt! 😤

Uau, such nice content to receive today. I'm a big fan of the channel, but this project particularly touches me. Greetings from someone who will run the Paris marathon in a week, also inspired by your videos, Matt.

Go Matt💪🙏 never give up! This year are ur year! I know u gona run 2.17-2.18!

LFGGGGGGGG baby! Love the elite vids but these are my favorite by far

Go get it Matt!! 💪❤️

100% respect your love for the sport and your journey. Looking forward to more videos to the serious. I too have been stuck the last 2 years (2:45-2:49). I found higher mileage does not equal faster times for all. Same as running nutrition (gels etc). I'm headed to Boston in a few weeks and took a different approach to training this time around. Would love to share my race result. Wish you the best bro. keep on chasing those goals.

Thank you for your candor in this video and I'll be following. I watched your vids last year and they were inspiration for me to up my level of commitment to running last summer.

Really enjoyed this. Getting a peak into the history of SE was particularly insightful and the future looks exciting

Can’t wait to see your progress and road to sub 2:20❤

I bet the speed work (800m/1500m work) will help with your cramping. I’m excited to watch the journey!

Awesome content here. I like how the sponsorships are curated in a way that will also contribute to us amateur athletes. Would not complain even if a couple more sponsors were added for the benefit and longevity of the company/channel.

Good onya Matty!! Looking forward to another quality series and to also see how much you grow and mature into the youtube world.. A lot of people will use this as a template, me included..

This is the series I’ve been waiting for ❤

nice project man. you know i am around here since day 1. thanks still for the follow on strava too. gotta give up running because of my ankilosing spondilitis but will gonna go hard on cycling after ramadan fasting phase.

Matt Fox is about to do something CRAZY!

Yasss I've been waiting for this 👀 lets go!💪

Thank you, this is a great series! 60-70mpw may not be that high for a serious marathoner, but then what is? For the everyday athlete, regular working class, or ex- 800m athlete that could be the mark for progression

awesome concept i cant wait to watch every single video

Inspiring ⭐

Thanks for all your work! Thats all I wanted to say :)

Hi Matt. Great video. 1 question. What does mean RCT and AT on the white paperboard at 16:28 ? Anaerobic Threshold ? Thanks. I Hope you will achieve your best version of yourself !!! I'am with you with m'y mind !! 💪💪

Hello Matt Fox, I was just wondering what kind of shoes are you wearing on that Treadmill Machine we’re you are hooked up with the mask on your face that’s connected to the computer monitoring your breathing, I want to know what kind of running shows those are, the white with Orange shoes?

Good content, loved the vid

Looking forward to the new series and hope you can pull off the gains. You should tokenise your shareholding as well. Food for thought

Interesting. Rate limiting step is lactate. Perhaps a change in your gastro-biome; make sure you don't lack the right bacteria in your gut. I'm thinking some diet tweaks in addition to training, somehow your are getting on the wrong side of electrolytes during competition; that isn't training, that's diet (sorry, thinking out loud here). Feel free to reach out.

Lets go Matt!

Have fun in bolder and thx for the honest words.

Your Vantaa marathon was October 2017 mate, I remember meeting you in the bathroom queue beforehand as we prepared to run under the Finnish rain 😂

Very good News!!! Happy🤩🤪😂🤞

Hiii, Bijen here, a fellow triathlete! I was reading your Sweat Elite article about the zone 6, 5, 4 training with zone 1 and 2 recovery days, and it got me thinking about how to structure my own workouts. I was wondering if you typically do the same intensity work for both bike and run on those higher intensity days and take recovery, or if you separate them into different workouts?

Look forward to this next series 👍🏼 Sound and video is a bit off. Just me?

You're doing a great job for running community sir, I'm looking forward to becoming a share holder. Where can I find the podcast from..?

Great stuff. I was not sure if you would do another Guinea pig series .. there is an element of vunrebility to this sort of thing which you really need the mentel strength for. I just hope the possative vibes from real people out way the negatives. Re other stuff and the new site .. all good 👍

Im excited for this series and the growth of Sweat Elite!! Is there any merch yet?!

“Many go fishing all their lives without knowing that it is not fish they are after.” Best of luck Matt 🙂

Hope to meet you running along the Chicago Lakefront!

Good luck Matt, great idea and looking forward to following the series 👍 Metaspeed Paris your shoe of choice this year? 👀

Cant wait to hear any insights on cramping as this effects me also and it doesnt seem to simply be dehydration / electrolyte imbalances. Are you thinking its coming from muscle overload and neuromuscular fatigue? Is the plan to get lots of speed into the legs (to overcome said fatigue) prior to switching into marathon specific training?

Stoked you’re doing another one of these. The pro stuff is great - candy - keep it up. But this is meat and potatoes content.

Imo ads are just annoying. I have no problem with brand plugs or brand sponsorships though. For good content and if there's a lot of extras like on the website that can enhance one's training I think it's fine to ask for a fee. I agree I don't get why some people think everything should be for free. They don't work for free themselves haha.

Maybe, just maybe the best way to progress in the marathon its best to not run marathons but focus on 5k-10k improvement before switching back to attack marathon goals.

what garmin product are you talking about? the hrm-fit?😅

I think with your trainings you are easily worth better. I know 2:15-17 guys that couldnt keep up with your trainings

Its great thanks for it

What about those of us who signed up for premium content before? Are we still being charged? Will we be grandfathered into the new offer?

Do you ever consider that Maybe , just maybe that is your limit for long distance... predominant type II muscle fiber composition? Do you check CMJ/SJ jumps? whats your 5k, 3k best timesin trelation to the 2h20'?? What is your VLamax? Anyway, good for your wiling to chase boundaries, looking forward to your progress

Too late for my Boston build but Perfect timing for my CIM block.

yes!!!!

Saludos desde mexico 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

Good luck Matt. You have nothing to lose. You have the pace and endurance but I fear you will need to drop some lbs. Most marathon African winners these days are coming in at 125-135lbs.

14:00 and 29:20 or even the slower end of the range you believe possible would be Steve Plasencia-type times at age 38. He peaked at 13:19/27:45 at over age 30. He ran 2:12:51 at very close to age 38. Targeting the times you mentioned at mile-5k-10k is more absurd for you than shooting for a 2:15 marathon on 108km a week. Reaching the times mentioned would be most likely on the same type of training ideal for a FASTER MARATHON. 140-160 km per week for as long as possible. I would be very happy for you and proud of you if you reach that level on the way to a faster marathon, but this is going to end in bitterness and heartbreak. You are going to have a hard time going sub-15:00.

What's your vo2max ser? Good luck in sub 2:20 journey

If you want to stop the cramping, you should talk to a pro cycling dietician. They're doing a lot of things like training the gut to take more carbs per hour, etc

Surprisingly that higher mileage didn't bring down your times.

You should do a video with Kieran Walker to represent the North East

Audio and Video are not in sync… 😊

Matt Fox gives me Zane Lowe vibes

Good luck!
