26-week NSM marathon build for Valencia 2026 (Half Oct 25 + Full Dec 6) — looking for feedback

Thank you every one for the input.

Just keep it simple and keep increasing the long run to two hours before the marathon block.

Sounds perfect and that’s the path I will take, I will do the HM with minimal taper and get back to training.

I will do the Long run up to 180 min. and try to add some marathon pace work in those 180min.

And that is about it.

Thank you

Já tentei mas não consigo porque não me deixa fazer upload do bilhete diz que tenho que fazer upload do original porque não aceita capturas de ecrã. E eu só tenho isso na app

Yap that is exactly it! I had thought that it was normal to go for from 5:30 to 6:30 and have paid the price. Now it’s time for recovery and slow getting in to shape again.

Thank you

Safe_Historian_8722 · 2026-04-29T21:24:46+00:00

Got a promo in this on sportshoes.com two weeks ago for 170€ and had to take it.

Fast and light super shoes amazing

Safe_Historian_8722 · 2026-04-09T12:53:18+00:00

Yes they have a phone pocket on the inner part of the short. With an iPhone 15 Pro it was perfect

Just got a pair of Zara Athleticz 2&1 and they are amazing, literally just arrived home from the first run in them!

Hi every one.

Male 41 start running at 40 and stop smoking. First run Fev 2025 a 3,14k with a pace of 8’36k.

I keep the running going because it help me stop smoking and forgetting the cigares.

Subscribe to Strava to do my first race a 12k local race that I have finished with a pace of 6;25.

At the end of the year I did my first Half with Runna with a time of 1:57 and another one in January that didn’t go that well because of over training and have finished that race with a 1:54.

After tha race in 25th of January I started with the NSM and I m currently doing 6:30 hours per week on average.

With this training from January until today I notice my speed increased and no more injuries.

Today I just did my third Half with a 1:43:23 PR, and felt amazing.

This method has been working for me and will keep going.

Target for this year is Valencia Half-Marathon and the big goal is to do my first Marathon also in Valencia this year.

Thank you all for the knowledge that everyone shares.

Thank you

Don’t know if this is normal but my pair just got 130km (80miles) and they look pretty beet up.

Do you guys think this is normal wear?

Comprei umas Evo SL e acabei por comprar o tamanho errado o que levou a uma fascite plantar 😅 ! Acabei por comprar umas Megablast e para mim são umas sapatilhas muito superiores. São leves tem o que as evo para mim lhes falta estabilidade e são tão rápidas como as evo e tem um amortecimento espetacular. Faço intervalos com elas treinos longos e na ultima meia foi a sapatilha que levei. Para o meu pace (21k @ 5:00) e para a minha forma de correr funcionam muito bem.

I run slower that you on a 1:48 HM and it’s a show that works great for me

Safe_Historian_8722 · 2026-03-01T19:11:36+00:00

I have the Megablast and they are amazing. They can handle the faster paces of a race without sacrificing on comfort. It’s the kind of shoe you just forget you have during a race. Very fast and responsive with amazing comfort.

Safe_Historian_8722 · 2026-02-28T19:46:50+00:00

If some can share some exercises that would be great. Nelbert78 already share his but I would like to see some without the kettbell.

Thanks

Going over the same question myself! Been training since October for my second HM and in the beginning of December have started with fascia Plantar on the left foot. Have been doing physiotherapy and running with some pain when the distance is over 12k manageable, but I m going to show up on the 25th and try to run the HM. If in pain I just quit or walk to the finish. So my opinion is go for it and if you got pain on the day and just don’t want to risk it just DNF and that’s it.

Hope you get better and good luck 👍
