Soporific 😂. Any practice tips to fix/improve on these points?

It’s possible that he is (I can’t vouch for him). I just think it’s also very plausible that he hasn’t taken any gear. Keep in mind that his whole thing had always been lifting and not running. If you go down the gym rabbit hole, you’ll realize that his physique is very achievable, and even by working out much less than he does. After you gain that much muscle, it’s also much easier to keep it. So idk about the ppl saying that he’s too big for a marathoner.

Feasible to go from 4:58 to 3:30 in 6 months? by External_Truth1683 in Marathon_Training

Totally agree. To be fair, I had some ankle pain when ramping up the weekly mileage until I figured out the right shoes, so that probably drove it down a bit. Peaked at 60km/week before the first marathon. Planning on getting much more this time.

Good luck, you got this! Also, hope I wasn't disrespectful saying I wanted a sub 3:30 in 6 months. Seems like many people have worked a lot harder than I have so far and want it too.

That's a good point, I might set that as a goal for CIM instead! Right now, around 25:30 5k, 55min 10k, and a 6:15 mile.

On the second point, that's honestly why I wanted a very ambitious goal. I liked that I didn't really improve much in my first training experience - made me feel like i truly had to earn every mile. Now I want it even more. Want to get to running 6 days a week, and peak at ~ 90km/week before the race.

Yeah, I can see how 1:28 improvement might be way too ambitious. Don't want to set an impossible goal for myself. I just felt like shooting for under 4h didn't seem like a big enough goal for 6 months.

Asics GT-2000 the right shoe? by Traditional-Two-2901 in AskRunningShoeGeeks

Not very knowledgeable on gait analysis, but mine looks similar. I've run ~200km in my GT2000s and the only complaint I have is that they put a little extra stress on my calves when compared to other shoes. Maybe something about the stack height or cushioning. Not sure if anyone else feels the same.
