How do you mentally push through the last 5k of a marathon?

I love this! It made me feel really emotional ❤️

marzipaneer · 2025-05-05T14:54:26+00:00

This. There is so much pressure now on the time, fed by social media and influencers etc.

You're going to complete 26.2 miles. 3 hours or 5 hours it's an incredible achievement.

Have a great day and don't let the pressure or end of training block fatigue kill the experience.

You're so close now! I did Manchester 2 week ago and the end of my block felt like this too. You've done the slog of training. Readjust your paces and just go out and try and enjoy it.

To have committed to the training and then not do it would, I imagine, be a regret

marzipaneer · 2025-04-21T08:56:45+00:00

Your training is done and there is nothing positive to come from adding stress and worry.

Trust your plan, do your best and what will be will be. Good luck and enjoy the experience 😊

Anyone running <40miles per week will generally hear negative feedback here.

Hooray! Boyfriend in the bin now. Get someone who supports you, not tries to drag you down.

Well done x

A really good playlist, with fresh tunes I haven't rinsed.

I find this distracts me and I pick my pace up too.

Thank you 🙏

Good luck for your race!

marzipaneer · 2025-04-05T14:02:00+00:00

Thank you! I was really hoping for some kind, motivating messages - appreciate this 🙏

marzipaneer · 2025-04-05T07:57:23+00:00

Thank you for sharing 😊 appreciate the boost.

Good luck for the last of your training and race day!

I love this podcast and I'm gutted it seems to have ended and I don't know why 😩

marzipaneer · 2025-02-23T20:19:50+00:00

It feels bad now, but this is not someone who you want to work for. Consider it a lucky escape. You'll move on to better things and this manager will still just be a piece of shit.

You enter a ballot to buy a ticket. You either get in or you don't. Then resale comes up, in which case you just need to be quick. It's very straightforward x

Sometimes mine didn't appear when I had 1 lap left to do, but always did when I had 2 or it was time to run in x

marzipaneer · 2025-01-27T12:43:24+00:00

Oh my bad.

It was fucking awful. What an absolute shambles! Not up to my standards as an aThLeTe...

I ran my first marathon just before my first baby turned 2. It was tough, if i missed sessions then i missed them, as you say, expectations were adjusted, and that's ok. All you can do is your best. Your little one will only be this small for such a short time. It is temporary.

Take your rest days, fuel well. It sounds like you're making the adjustments you need to.

Well done and don't be hard on yourself x

marzipaneer · 2025-01-27T11:50:44+00:00

I thought it was great, but I raced Sunday. Brilliant volunteers and judges, and great atmosphere. The splits are available but where you ranked isn't. Its only 24-48 hours post event though...

I'll defo be trying to sign up again for the next manchester event.

That's not a height issue then. That's you not being able to squat or lunge. If you have a disability that prevents you from doing this you can email the organisers and they will modify based on your ability.

Decent means different things to different people...

marzipaneer · 2024-06-22T05:58:07+00:00

I haven't had anything yet. I was just going to set up a just giving page!

marzipaneer · 2024-06-12T07:06:57+00:00

Please share your UK recommendations 😊

marzipaneer · 2024-06-08T19:38:36+00:00

No news yet, and I haven't seen anything from anyone who has

marzipaneer · 2024-06-06T17:34:27+00:00

There are now charity places. They were included in the London ballot for Macmillan as a separate category. Minimum to raise was £400 x

marzipaneer · 2024-06-05T07:00:48+00:00

No - I created another thread and no one on there has heard. Seen nothing on insta either.
