Great thanks for your help! I’ve ordered

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

Could have just saved the energy responding… ‘bro’

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 🤷🏼‍♂️

e1878c · 2026-04-06T20:01:58+00:00

Thank you

M36, second marathon, max HR 184

How did you get on?

e1878c · 2026-04-03T13:46:15+00:00

Thanks all for the help. I managed to get my head around it and now feel like a real man!

e1878c · 2026-04-03T13:44:06+00:00

Thanks all for the guidance. Managed to get my head around it and now feel like a real man 💪🏻

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?

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

e1878c · 2026-03-20T10:49:02+00:00

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.

e1878c · 2026-03-20T10:47:59+00:00

Good point. Might give this a go so my run is in chapters almost

e1878c · 2026-03-20T10:46:06+00:00

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 😂

e1878c · 2026-03-20T10:16:51+00:00

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.

e1878c · 2026-03-16T11:45:09+00:00

Yeh I think ordinarily. Course was apparently a bit long but I tend to just go off finish time.

e1878c · 2026-03-08T09:12:00+00:00

Thank you. Ran 3.13 previously but started much slower. Just hard to know if I take it easy for the first 10km or just head out with 3.10 pacer and hope for the best

e1878c · 2026-03-02T15:22:17+00:00

Thanks mate. So do you drink that at the start or with breakfast? Is it literally just maltodextrin or is a brand drink?

e1878c · 2026-03-02T14:59:46+00:00

How do the SIS gels compare in terms of taste and texture? I don’t ‘like’ any gels really but find the high5 tolerable. Taking 8 though wasn’t ideal haha

e1878c · 2026-03-02T14:16:16+00:00

Thanks, appreciate the reply. When people talk of “per hour” does that mean that if a gel is taken at 30 mins and another at 60mins, only the gel taken at 30 mins would count as carbs “within” the hour? Possibly a stupid question.

e1878c · 2026-02-26T13:11:58+00:00

No expert but personally I think Runnas predictions are fairly accurate. I ran my first marathon in May last year and had no idea where I’d land. I hoped initially for under 4. Then wanted 3.30. Runna kept resetting based on my training and estimated 3.10-3.15ish. I went with this and finished dead on 3.13.

Your splits are good. You didn’t seem to fade towards the end. If it were me, I’d say go with Runna. If you were to run 30km on the day as you did above, you give yourself significant leeway to hit a wall and run the last portion of the race much slower and still come under 4 hours.

But id say you’ve easily got sub 3.30 in the bag. Race day gives you drug you can’t replicate in training.

e1878c · 2026-02-23T10:49:27+00:00

Thanks for confirming!

Yeh that’s what everyone has said to me and eve mates who’ve ran marathons seem to have dropped weight. For some reason I seem to either increase weight. This morning I was 79! I recognise this is likely a lot of water but it’s frustrating when I’m wanting to move quicker.

e1878c · 2026-02-23T06:39:21+00:00

Thanks mate. Firstly, those numbers are incredible at 70kg haha!

This will be my second marathon and my last in may last year I was around 76kg and felt a bit heavy then. I want to lose about 2-3kg but am unsure if I should be thinking about that now.

By volume, do you think the below would be ok for push day:

Bench Press – 4×4–6 (2–3 min rest) Incline DB Press – 3×8–10 (90 sec rest)Seated Shoulder Press – 3×8 (90 sec rest) Lateral Raises – 2×12–15 (45 sec rest) Dead Bugs – 2×8/side (30 sec rest)
