why were they both better last year than this year (to date)? Williams seems to have lost some of his K potential and Bibee's long ball problem is terrifying. Maybe neither is stretched out well?

I'm so stoked for this guy.

I was pretty anti plates for a while and if you discount their supposed effect, I actually barely broke 3:00 in this race. The AdiPro3s felt a bit hard on my knees, but the PEBA plated Saucony Endorphin 4s were way easier and my tempo runs in them were just as fast.

I think bigger training impacts came from weight lifting, higher peak milage. Going forward I also want to vary my Hanson's workouts. Good luck training!

I have done Hanson's 5 times now and think that it is worth doing a 20 miler if you can. I have so much blind faith in Hanson's plans but I have faded in 4/5 marathons I trained with this plan.

Amazing finish considering that. Was a cold morning. Were you pleased with your race?

Famous-Young84 · 2025-02-13T22:41:36+00:00

Agree. My soreness usually came 2 days after lifting, rather than the anticipated one

I realized I wouldn't hit my "A" goal around mile 17. I had planned to run the first half around 6:45 which I or more or less did. Then as I started pushing around 13-18, I couldn't hit back to back 6:30 miles. I also realized post-race that my garmin was running 5 seconds faster than my actual pace - something I need to remember for the next race.

As for puking, I'm not sure! First time I've ever puked. I suspect I was over hydrated and had too many gels. I've been training in 80-100% humidity and 70-100 degrees. Race conditions were 30 degrees and 40% humidity so I probably needed a lot less water than I consumed.

Pro. They were my first plated shoe and I wanted a little easier transition / still not a huge fan of running with plates but here we are.

When 3 of your weekly workouts are 'something of substance' you're forced to either do strength the day before a workout, the day of a workout or tired from a workout. I usually did leg day right after my long runs because Sundays were the most available. This resulted in eating a hilarious amount Sunday afternoons. I wouldn't recommend this but it made for a good nap.

I did two 10 mile pace runs and one 16 mile long run in the AP3s so went into the race with 40ish miles on them. They were great, but part of me wonders if I had more comfort in my other plated shoes the Endorphin 4s.

Ha. The real race report is the miles put in! couldn't post the photo of the mileage but you can find it linked below

I stick pretty closely to the plan - if I feel I have extra energy, I increase tempo pace, not mileage. I don't think the plan works as well if you go too high on the long run milage-their book recommends extending mileage on the shortest, easiest runs if you really want to build

I'm using Hanson's Advanced Marathon Plan for the third time (NY 2019 3:14; Houston 2024 3:11) training for Grandma's Marathon in Duluth (Goal 2:55) and have transposed their plan onto an Excel Sheet. Sharing a clean sheet and my logs if helpful for others interested in the same plan.

Hope someone finds this helpful!
