11 days after conquering the Danube, I headed to the New Forest Marathon to find out if 67 days running slow marathons could make me better at running one faster one. I ran entirely on feel, so did the 26.2 miles without looking at my Garmin Enduro once. I just went with what my body gave me from mile to mile. Here’s a quick video to explain what happened…

The ultimate comparison of Steady State cardio training VS HIIT training. Great work Champ!

@Manvmiles 2 года назад

Yeah, I thought it'd be fascinating to see if you can go fast and long by going slow and long. The answer is yes.

Great experiment! You have a massive aerobic base right now. Just ran 30 miles on the Danube out and back on each side between Ulm and Leipheim- thanks for your inspired and informative videos. It was a gorgeous run!

@Manvmiles 2 года назад

Oh amazing. So glad you enjoyed it. It’s a magic place to run. I miss it already. I’ll definitely go back.

BRAVO!!!!! Wow, bloody AWESOME!!! You just go out and do a marathon PB as a bit of a fun fitness test and don't even bother looking at your watch, while the rest of us are training our arses off just to survive one!!😂😂!! Yes it's paid off alright!! 😂 I see you decided to keep your Forest Gump beard too, at least for a while!! 🙋🏻‍♀🏃🏻‍♀🏃‍♂

Can highly recommend not looking at the watch. Least struggly marathon I've ever run I think. Maybe due to fitness but also just ran how my body felt. Eased off if I felt I was digging too much and it worked overall. Even with this ridiculous beard. Still working out what to do about the Gump. 😂

Loved this video. Open and honest and a great result. Thank you for the update

Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks.

You’re a man among men! Humbled to be able to watch your journey. As always, best to you. (And your family!)

@Manvmiles 2 года назад

Thanks Matt.

Nicely done!! Over a half hour PB on that track is amazing!

@Manvmiles 2 года назад

Thanks Chad. I'm pretty happy with that. Mind starting to wander to what might be possible on a flatter, faster course. But also to rest.

Great effort! Saw you by the Garmin stand i thought it was you through the beard! I should have said hello! Did my first half marathon at 51 and 100kg in a time of 1:53:52 really happy with that as it was a tougher course than expected.

@Manvmiles 2 года назад

That’s a cracking time for a first half. Particularly on what is a difficult course. Nicely run. Would’ve been good to say hello too. What’s next John?

@replicant5393 2 года назад

Congrats , great Pb, not sure I fancy doing that training block though, 67 in 67 😉

@bev9708 2 года назад

😂😂 yeah that's a hell of a training block!!

@Manvmiles 2 года назад

Don't see why not! 😂 Seriously though, mine is obviously an extreme example but I'm now convinced of the benefit of a longer lead to a marathon block and taking a lot of the intensity out of it too. Lots of low and slow miles.

amazing test and what a great time. well done. FYI I just did comrades marathon and used the salmon belt you did a video on. was amazing and also I used the alphaflys and they were perfect. thanks again for the videos and keep it up

@Manvmiles 2 года назад

Fantastic work on the Comrades. How was it? It's on my list for sure.

@jonathanwatkins447 2 года назад

@@Manvmiles it was the coolest race I've ever experienced. I thought NYC was awesome but this was insane. The supporters the whole 90K were just amazing. The race itself was first class. Hydration and nutrition stops were the best I've ever had. I think 45 Hydration and nutrition tables with everything you need. You would love it and you would do great. I did a 7:49. Much better than I thought

@yannis18 2 года назад

3.10! Excellent. What's is your marathon PB? From the last few years at least.

@Manvmiles 2 года назад

My marathon PB is 2:57 back in 2019.

@jordanrutherford9143 Год назад

Great running After watching this video I’ve signed up for the new forest marathon next year I was just wondering what type of shoe you would recommend for this type of terrain?

@Manvmiles Год назад

That's great. I hope to be there again too. You can run in road shoes if it's been dry. But a good road-to-trail shoe is the best bet I think. Something like the Speedgoat 5 or maybe a HOKA Tecton X.

@jordanrutherford9143 Год назад

Thanks for the reply look forward to it 👍🏻
