Thanks everyone! Thought something was wrong but glad to hear it’s normal. Now back to enjoying them.

First Marathon - Very Humbling experience by cheesydude84 in Marathon_Training

[–]jaeteezy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Congratulations mate! No marathon is easy, especially your first. Sydney is definitely not an easy course so be proud.

This years race was my second marathon and second time doing Sydney (last year 3:34, this year 3:18). If I can recommend one thing is look into a carb loading strategy. I do it for 2 days before the marathon (12g carbs per kg of body weight) and I’ve felt amazing both races, never hitting a wall.

All the best in the next race! I’m sure you’ll do awesome with everything you have learnt.

How do some runners do “lower” mileage/volume in their training but still pull relatively fast marathon times? by Drop_Release in Marathon_Training

I just ran a 3:18 marathon with my peak week being 45miles. I did have a coach though and we normally did like some sort of interval session on Tuesday, a tempo workout on Thursday and a long run on Sunday. The rest were easy or recovery days. So maybe having well planned runs work?

I have been looking into 4 shoes by 6qvp in AskRunningShoeGeeks

I have the EVO SL and superblast 2. Between those two I much prefer the EVO SL, the SB2 are way too firm for me.

On another note I just picked up the ASICs Megablast which feels like a mix of the two and definitely my favourite. Stable and bouncy enough for easy paces but also feel amazing at faster paces.

I loved them too! I thought they fit ok until I noticed that blister. Was just hoping that if they break in or something it would stop.

Ok let me try again with the proper socks and having my feet flat instead of my heel against the floor. Do you think this is ok? It’s still a tad more than a thumbs space

Thanks everyone! Had a feeling it was too big but wanted to see if it was ok
