SUB 3 MARATHON - Abingdon Marathon 2019 Race Vlog & Recap In The Nike Zoom Fly - I am so delighted to be publishing this vlog, its been a long time coming but at the 2019 abingdon marathon we managed to run our first ever sub 3 hour marathon in the original nike zoom fly's!! The shoe decision was tough but ultimately the hoka one one rincon just didn't fill me with confidence going on Monday & Tuesday's run, yet my mini long run on saturday in the nike zoom fly's was perfect so I went with them. Overall, I never set out for this to happen, I can only say that at mike 18 I decided it was on and we went for it...scraping under the 3 hour mark by 20 seconds!! Official time was 2:59:40, coming 131st out of 768...an incredible 135 runners went sub 3 hours!! My overall take aways from this sub 3 hour abingdon marathon is that its a distance that I doubt I will ever master but one that keeps luring me back for more!!
Thank you all so much for your support as always!

Don’t know how I missed this. What an incredible effort. What an achievement. I’m thrilled for you. I ran Abingdon last year. Always a good standard of runner. Great race but I found the laps mentally tough. Congratulations once again. Enjoy your rest & recovery. Ps. I notice in the excitement you said you finished in 1:59 instead of 2:59. Has Kipchoge got a rival. 😁😉

@TheFODRunner 4 года назад

Haha thanks mate, I must been a bit delusional there 😂 yes any lapped courses are mentally I tough I find, I was just lucky that this is near where I used to live so it was great to revisit all my old haunts!

Thanks Doug... I am going to get it investigated I think because I literally cannot take on any fluids or fuel without my stomach going into spasm... my diapragm is so knotted today, so painful

Also ran in Abingdon in 2019 for my first marathon, got round in 3.38 was in a dark place for the last 6 miles. My second marathon was London this year, totally different experience in 3.07. Going back to Abingdon this year and registered for Brighton in April. Determined to go sub 3 in one of them......

Andy this is freaking amazing ! Finally the well deserved sub 3 hours has happened ! You can now rest a bit and enjoy the success ! On my side I finally smashed the 1:20 mark in the half: ran 1:17:42 this Sunday ! A fast course but it was hot and windy !

@HereWeAreRunning 4 года назад

Amazing mate. Huge congratulations. It just shows if you go out there without the normal pressures of trying to get a time and you just go out to enjoy it, you can still pull off a performance like that. Some serious determination towards the end to get under the 3 hour mark but completely deserved. Doing all that as well as suffering from stomach issues is a great inspiration to all of us.

@TheFODRunner 4 года назад

Thanks mate, running with no pressure is something we all tend not to do but I can highly recommend it! Can't wait to run a race without any stomach issues!

Amazing what a relaxed mind can do for the body… The stress we put on our mind through each and every day pushes us to great places but sometimes just having a clear mind can be record breaking

You ran 20 miles at 2:50-ish marathon pace, which is almost as incredible as gritting out a sub-3:00 when your body was done. Thanks for the inspiring story!

@TheFODRunner 4 года назад

Thank you! Yes I crossed the half way mark in 1:25:30, which is so annoying as it felt just so easy, even at 18/19 miles i just felt like I was in cruise control. Just need to shift these gut issues and I think I will finally be able to put in a performance!

Such a great run Andy - hats off! Just wondering have you tried any of the hydro gels (maurten and I believe Mountain Fuel do them too). They’re supposed to bypass the stomach and be absorbed in the lower intestine...I think...??

@TheFODRunner 4 года назад

Thank you!! Ooooh interesting I’ll have a look into that! For me, the second I take on any fluid or gel, within 30 seconds my stomach knots and cramps followed closely by a stitch so I think there’s something more fundamental going on.... ultimately though I’m keen to investigate anything that might help 👌

My reactions--well done sir! seems to me the stomach problem is solvable, possibly chewing electrolite pills and small frequent ingestions of sugar (?). the hip problem more serious. take care on the hip would be my thought.

@TheFODRunner 4 года назад

Yes I’ve had a few comments about possible gut health issues, I need to do some more research, but thank you! The hip flexor is very sore, at mile 21 my running started to become a shuffle and I felt my hip flexors kick in more than they should so it’s just overuse 👌

@outandaboutworcester 4 года назад

@@TheFODRunner It stops the stomach and bowels from cramping up, can be used for IBS. They use it in hospitals when they do procedures like colonoscopy, it relaxes the bowel. Used in hospitals but you can get it at the chemist. might be worth a try?

Sandra Rowland ah yes I know the stuff! My daughter was prescribed it ages ago for some IBS symptoms! I’ll investigate!
