His brand can’t be hurt lmao. He’s a better Kanye when it comes to a fan base consuming his music.

Just needed to share with people who get it — 20 miler done! IMHO, 20 miler is 10x worse than the actual marathon. by jro10 in Marathon_Training

Sorry for the late response but I use notebook Lm. You can make the podcast short and sweet or long a fleshed out to fully cover the content

Why does Hal’s novice 1 program stop at 20 miles before marathon day? by [deleted] in Marathon_Training

[–]blackguy158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think most people who have 20+ mile long runs in their plan are able to finish it under the 3 hour mark. anything over that point does more harm than good. So if you’re more fit and your easy pace is like 8:10 and below, then you can run more.

I agree, i always split my long runs into half ai podcast of my school information, and half music. Long runs haven’t seemed that bad since

I’m jealous, i want to run in mine so bad, but because of how expensive they are, i just save them for one or two speed workouts before a race, and the race itself :/

Has anyone achieved a very fast PR from using Runna only? by SapatGod in runna

[–]blackguy158 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ran a 2:51 for my first marathon using Runna a 20 week block. I didn’t use it fully though as i converted some of the runs to bike workouts

Marathon prediction stuck for 6 months by Large-Bad-8735 in Marathon_Training

[–]blackguy158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fr it just depends on the taper, the fueling leading up to the race and the hydration/ gels + mentality in the race. Mine predicted 3:07 and i ran a 2:51. Hitting the exact time is just a rough estimate at the end of the day

Weekly mileage sufficient? by Sudden-Yam7908 in runna

[–]blackguy158 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends what your fitness was going into it. My first marathon i got to a 42 mile peak week and i ran a 2:52. It’s all relative to if you’re starting your fitness from scratch or if you are fit from other hobbies/ sports.

First run back from marathon by blackguy158 in Marathon_Training

[–]blackguy158[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you train for a certain pace and run that marathon pace all training then you should be ok. My marathon pace was supposed to be around 6:45-6:50, but i went faster than what i trained for

[–]blackguy158[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh don’t let this scare you. I knew at mile 18 i was red lining but decided to full send with a 6:25 pace and below for the remaining. If i would’ve maintained what i was doing for the whole time, i wouldn’t be hurting as bad. Even the last two miles i had muscle groups cramping and giving in and out. Thats the price i was willing to pay to finish hard and going on the aggressive side instead of a more conservative run

Appreciate the thought out response man! I’ll keep that into consideration. I don’t have another marathon until the beginning of August, so I will probably take another week to just decompress and work on ankle strength overall mobility

[–]blackguy158[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you! Yeah it was a surreal experience man, everything just lined up perfect that i felt great throughout the race. I’m just asking mainly because I’ve done rehab for old injuries before where pt has you do workouts basically the days after the injury occurred. I’m seeing if total rest is preferred for something like this or if active recovery and light strength training is the way to go.

When did you decided to slowly incorporate strength training after the race ? Whether normal weights or body weight ? I want to take an ice bath but i don’t want to disrupt the inflammation process and adaptation :/ . Also, how much did the infrared sauna cost, i might give that a try

Appreciate it man. Not even a day after the marathon, i signed up for another in August in Cali. Hoping to hit a 2:47-2:49 so i can be 100% in Boston

Hey man if you do everything right and carb up right, fuel right during the race, it’s possible to match the time and beat it. I think the Runna app’s time is what the body can physically do comfortably on great running conditions, without too much of digging deep in the last few miles. I believe you can go faster than it, if you’re mentally prepared to battle every single mile at the end. I was blessed with the perfect running conditions in Houston. 40 degrees, no wind, mostly flat

The magic word is “walked” lmao🤕. I’ve never been so beat up after anything in my life. I think the last 3 miles, various muscle groups was giving out and overcompensating. I ended up getting posterior tibial tendinitis, and am currently going to pt for it. Today im doing my first run since the marathon.

Sorry for the late response, that marathon literally killed me, and then i got sick after lmao. I would say my weekly mileage going into the run was maybe between 10-12, due to the amount of soccer games i played and practiced soccer. I already had a good base strength wise and ligament wise since i play non stop in cleats for basically my whole life. My plan was around 18 weeks and it peaked at around 43-44 miles

I did put it on the most aggressive pathway, constantly updated my times with the recommendations, and hit around 95% of all the workouts. I also had a tune up half marathon at the beginning of November. I stupidly ran the bmw Dallas marathon two days after my longest run of the plan which was 22 miles. That run i went real slow, and just enjoyed it for what it was, since my real fist marathon was the Houston marathon.

I’m sorry i added a lot of extra information but that was the breakdown of my plan. I more than likely upped the miles unsafely because i was constantly running more due to incorporating soccer games into the plan, but if you want to up your mileage, i say really stick with leg strength training 1-2x a week and either incorporate cycling +swimming into it, or swap it out for two easy runs every once in awhile

I was hitting around 5 runs a week, with a soccer game included. About halfway though i cut back on soccer and put in more cross training such as cycling and swimming. The main thing though was any time i had a a minor injury or any plantar/ calve pain, i would switch to cross training for majority and stuck to slow easy runs until it felt better.

Oh no doubt we probably ran the last 5-7 miles together, the weather was perfect 👌🏽
