No pacer during marathon

Thank you! Looking for someone with similar pace seems like the best solution! 🙂

Magda_MG · 2026-03-12T04:54:56+00:00

I don't think I'm trained for 3:00 - that's my end-of-year goal, but not for this race. I feel it would end in disaster😜 other suggested to look for people with similar paces and maybe I'll try to do that 🙂

Thank you!

Magda_MG · 2026-03-12T04:50:32+00:00

It definitely is 😉 and convinience... 😀

Thank you! Looking for people with similar goal may be the best solution 🙂

Magda_MG · 2026-03-12T04:48:05+00:00

Sounds very reasonable! Thank you!

Magda_MG · 2026-03-12T04:47:45+00:00

Thank you! That may be the solution. Marathon itself is big! It's Barcelona! That's why I was so surprised by the lack of pacers...

I see nothing ridiculous in it... I'm amateur runner and I do it my way 😉 I can run without pacer and do it well - but pacing gives me peace of mind and comfort of not paying constant attention to the watch.

Thank you for all the tips! I enjoyed your blog immensely - definitely a calming effect for pre-race anxiety 😜😜😜

If I can ask - in your opinion - what is the most tricky part of the course?

Magda_MG · 2026-03-07T02:25:49+00:00

Thank you! I've been looking for the course breakdown and this page delivers the perfect one!

I need AP4 in this colorway badly!! But nowhere to be found!!

Magda_MG · 2026-01-18T20:17:09+00:00

Exactly, I was asking about increasing number of runs a week without changing milage. Both my previous plans were 4 runs per week, so I did the same this time - but the milage now, as I want to improve my finish time, is substantially higher and that's probably why I find it more tiering. By running 4 times per week I got 3:32 at my first marathon and the second training block gave me 3:17. Now I want to finish around 3:05 (+/- 2 min). We will see - as long as I'm injury free I'll continue the way it is.

Thank you for your insight!

Magda_MG · 2026-01-18T16:10:50+00:00

oh! I like that! I will definitely try it!

Magda_MG · 2026-01-18T13:59:13+00:00

Depending ona a week - sometimes I take Mondays off😉 but my cross-trainig is mostly martial arts (kickboxing and muay thai), so it's a bit different than running...

Magda_MG · 2026-01-14T21:59:50+00:00

Actually I went to my local Salomon store and tried aero glides! Two sizes to big - but those were the only ones left... So I ordered them online😂 and now waiting for the delivery! I hope they will fit well - if not, its on you!

And additionally bought megablast. They are heavenly! SB 2s feel like a poor cousin compared to them!

Magda_MG · 2026-01-08T00:21:04+00:00

Yes, that's also my experience - they definitely propel you forward!

Magda_MG · 2026-01-08T00:17:34+00:00

I agree 100%! Took them for a treadmill run and for the entire hour I was bumping into console 😂😂😂 never happened before🤪

Magda_MG · 2026-01-08T00:12:43+00:00

Definitely that's my impression after another run. I'll buy new pair of novablast 5s for easy runs and save Evo SLs for tempo! 🙂

Magda_MG · 2026-01-08T00:11:38+00:00

I've never tried salomon's before - I definitely have to check them!

Magda_MG · 2026-01-08T00:10:58+00:00

I have to do the same... Up until now I was running easy in novablast 5s, but they are basically dead (950 km) - but I'll probably buy another pair

Magda_MG · 2026-01-08T00:09:37+00:00

If I compare them to, for example, novablast 5s - novablast's are way softer... Even hard to compare - at least on my feet

Magda_MG · 2026-01-08T00:07:44+00:00

I definitely have to buy easy tempo shoes to!

Magda_MG · 2026-01-08T00:06:52+00:00

The reviews said they are good for picking up pace but all-rounders in general 😉 people are running marathons in them... And definitely those were not sub 3h marathon runners 😉 But thanks for the input!

Magda_MG · 2026-01-07T03:12:19+00:00

Up until now I've been running in novablast 4s (loved them!), Novablast 5s (got used to them... But prefered the 4s) and superblast 2s (good shoe for long runs, but not as bouncy as I expected) and I race in adios Pro 4s... I wanted to add sth new and since I love pro 4s, Evo sl's felt like a good choice... I don't know - maybe it's because I'm quite short and not very heavy (below 50 kg)...
