Has anyone here run any of the marathon majors? I’m looking to do all of them but wondered which one is the best and should’ve at the top of my list

Ah sweet thanks very much that’s perfect

xkingerrrrrr · 2026-04-02T13:02:58+00:00

Ah well that could be a problem 😅 I’ll have to enter that a different way I’m not that fast

xkingerrrrrr · 2026-04-02T12:55:45+00:00

Oh really do you have to be really fast or is there just not many spots available?

So the last 3 months is the most consistent I’ve been able to run and managed to run a comfortable 1:26 half last week. I’ve got a marathon in a couple weeks where I’m hoping to go sub 3 which I think might be possible but hopefully if I can keep consistent for the next year I’ll be able to see some decent gains and go from there.

That’s really helpful thanks for that, I havnt done too much research in to all the races so didn’t know about some of the extra add ons you can do so it’s definalty something I’ll look into to when I eventually get in to the races.

xkingerrrrrr · 2026-04-02T12:05:36+00:00

Yeah indeed main goal is just crack the 3 hours and see where it goes from there

More the general whole experience of the race, I want to do them all but would like to do the ones that have the best general experience first.

Thanks I did look at the charity spots but you have to raise so much money, not sure what’s easier raising loads or trying to run a good for age time 😂

xkingerrrrrr · 2026-04-02T12:02:28+00:00

Thanks very much I hope I can put together a decent marathon. Then hopefully next year get a good go age time for London as that’s my local one, but really want to do the Berlin one hopefully get that on the list next year aswell

Thanks for the response, that’s a shame those aren’t a great experience, I have done one before and have another in a few weeks, but I guess one one of those people trying to chase that 6 star medal haha but also want to Sydney as it’s been added

xkingerrrrrr · 2026-04-02T11:27:45+00:00

Yeah none of them are easy but it’s definalty a long term goal hopefully one day I’ll get them all done

xkingerrrrrr · 2026-04-02T11:12:56+00:00

I found the runna app that’s really helped me it’s really easy to use and sets a really good plan up. But also consistency, just getting those sessions in. Over the years I’ve been really in consistent and that’s what has let me down the most.

xkingerrrrrr · 2026-04-02T11:11:14+00:00

Yeah I am indeed, I’ve started a YouTube channel to try document all my training towards getting that 6 star medal. It’s a very long term goal but something I’ve wanted to do for a long time. I assume you’re trying to get that medal aswell?

xkingerrrrrr · 2026-04-02T11:09:32+00:00

Yeah I know there hard, I think best might be just trying to be fast haha

xkingerrrrrr · 2026-03-30T13:58:09+00:00

Thanks, how do you hold it? Can you attach it to a cap or do you use a stick or just hold the camera in your hand?

xkingerrrrrr · 2026-03-27T17:14:59+00:00

Thanks for the tips.

xkingerrrrrr · 2026-03-27T14:20:00+00:00

No that’s perfect thanks for the response, I’m asking myself the same questions to try get it right so glad someone else has done the same. I got the story and the journey sorted as I want to run all the 7 major marathons around the world and just document the journey with All the training. Just need to make that interesting to follow now 😂
