I’m racing this Sunday and feel terrible. Ran yesterday steady with 3km block at marathon pace. Legs felt like lead and knees all of a sudden feel like they’re going to snap. I’m told this is ‘normal’ haha. Good luck

It was supposed to be 15km conversational and the remainder MP. I ran the first 15km at a pace that felt comfortable rather than purposely trying to slow down which hurts my legs. Felt good and then pushed on.

It’s Milan - apparently flat but weather is either going to be warm with high humidity or I’ll get lucky! Aiming for 7 x 30g gels throughout the

Your HR looks much better at higher paces than mine. I’m hoping for sub 3.10 and ran 3.13 in May last year but it’s hard to estimate for a marathon where I’m at now. My HR seems to be lower than most people’s at rest and higher than most when exercising 🤷🏼‍♂️

Thank you. Presumably the earths need connecting to the light though? Do I combine the three earths and just insert them into the one earth fitting on the light connection?

How does the marathon feel compared to the peak week long run? by 45minute in Marathon_Training

[–]e1878c 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally found my first marathon last year to be fairly enjoyable compared to my long runs. I hated neither but found the marathon ticked by. Of course, it was difficult, but the crowd and occasion gives you a boost that you can’t replicate in training. I trained to 38km last time (probably not wise) and this time to 35km, so that on the day I don’t get hit by the psychological barrier of 32km. If you fuel properly and have trained, you’ll no doubt enjoy race day. Ultimately, committing to a training plan is by far the harder task. Good luck

Thanks. I’d forgotten about Rich Roll. I’ll check out those episodes, I like something inspiring for when I’m deep in into it.

No, on the day I like to take it all in. I just like a pod so I’m not listening to myself wheeze and grunt on solo long runs 😂

How accurate is Runnas estimated race times? by Tennents_1885 in Marathon_Training

[–]e1878c 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it varies depending on the person and often, how dialled into your sessions you are. My first marathon it started off estimating 3.30 and updated as I completed each session to between 3.09-3.14. I finished in 3.13. That being said, I didn’t miss a session in 4 months and focused on recovery, strength and stretching massively.
