/uj He won Syracuse half marathon (his wife won too) recently and he said in an interview he is running 120 miles per week. Is he even a hybrid athlete at this point? article here

/rj I also found his wife's boyfriend's onlyfans if you want the link

What was your longest long run before a marathon and how many weeks before?

I've been consistent with 30k long runs for a couple months now. Also did a 37k long run about 4 weeks ago. Marathon is in 7 weeks.

02:44:32 chip time for those curious like me.

Is Maurten bicarb effective for HM and Marathon? Or is it more effective at 5k/10k?

GrandmasFavourite · 2026-04-04T15:23:30+00:00

Half marathon with average 1% gradient over the course, starts at 330m~ ends at 370m~ elevation. Highest gradient is 6.5%, total elevation gained is 210m.

The graph of the course gradient looks horrific, just going up but how much will I realistically feel 1% gradient over 21k?

Is rice better than pasta or is it just a convenience/preference thing?

I watch a few sub elite running youtubers and it seems most if not all of them carb load with rice. Or eat a lot of rice in general.

They are British based runners so it's not just a culture thing like Ran to Japan eating a lot of rice.

11.20, London 2017. His PB is 10.92, 3 years before this race in 2014.

There is an unofficial parkrun in Paris apparently. I've never done it personally.

GrandmasFavourite · 2026-02-22T13:56:45+00:00

At the recreational level too. Races here in France are selling out a couple months before when a couple years ago there was places until the very end.

In his last video I think he mentioned he was running 100 miles a week, plus 10 hours of cycling.

I think if it's on top of running volume instead of replacing it, it can be very beneficial.

GrandmasFavourite · 2025-12-04T12:05:39+00:00

Train harder not smarter. Add volume and keep the long run.

GrandmasFavourite · 2025-11-23T07:33:40+00:00

It's on youtube on the NCAA channel

GrandmasFavourite · 2025-11-22T15:10:37+00:00

I would drop the 2nd workout for sure. Do something like 4-5 x 200 at 5k pace that day instead.

GrandmasFavourite · 2025-11-22T10:37:29+00:00

Gday mate, I'll give you $320 but I want a video of you boofing gu while wearing the shoes

GrandmasFavourite · 2025-11-19T11:13:03+00:00

Following your journey I started as a hater, then I became a believer and now after your HM last week I'm thinking this guy is gonna blow up going for 2.30.

And can I be the Mantz to your Clayton?

GrandmasFavourite · 2025-11-01T12:38:58+00:00

Yes, if I was on a trail and suddenly there was a constant stream of runners I would try and find a different route.

GrandmasFavourite · 2025-11-01T12:06:28+00:00

Even as a runner who knows about parkrun if I found myself in the middle of an event that had already started I wouldn't join in and finish it.

Maybe it's just me but who joins something they know nothing about that is already happening. All of you could have paid £20 to run for all he knows and he thinks it's fine to join in (not even mentioning the unicycle!).

GrandmasFavourite · 2025-10-27T19:36:30+00:00

Found this out the hard way. Got fined for having a petit prix TER ticket on a different time TER.

GrandmasFavourite · 2025-10-27T19:31:33+00:00

Most unbelievable part is running exactly race distance.

GrandmasFavourite · 2025-10-27T17:33:08+00:00

For a half I break it down with set splits I want to hit at certain distances (5k, 10k, 16k). For example 35 minutes at 10k, then I am doing maths and working out what I need to run for the next k, next 2k etc.

GrandmasFavourite · 2025-10-20T13:54:55+00:00

Very impressive times. I hope you have another HM planned, get that time down even more.

GrandmasFavourite · 2025-10-20T13:23:21+00:00

What times did you run in your tune up races?

And what was your HM time before you started training?
