  • There's less than 4 weeks to go until the Chicago Marathon and Jacob Thomson is ready for his Marathon debut.
    We joined him for one of his biggest marathon specific workouts of 16 x 1km (90seconds recovery) along the famous Lake Mary Road in Flagstaff, situated at 6900ft (2100m) elevation.
    Jacob shares plenty of insights into his Marathon build up, as well as how he practices fuelling.
    Lake Mary Road is something of a legend for Flagstaff runners - regularly used for workouts by athletes and teams such as Sara Hall, Jim Walmsley, Molly Seidel, NAZ Elite and McKirdy HP to mention a few.

    I think the best part about all of these videos that Sweat Elite has been putting out is that it is giving more of a personality to these runners that we would not really know otherwise. Makes me excited to cheer them on for their races this fall! Good luck Jacob!

    Great workout for marathon. Did that starting at 3:12 and working down to 2:57 before running 2:22:22. I like being able to reset every kilometer so things don't get out of control. Good luck at Chicago, great race.

      I think that he starts with semi marathon pace and working down until 10k pace.

    UK is a big state school. That whole part of my life between when I was finishing high school and starting college was a dumpster fire. I had to get accustomed to things being bad and then getting instantly worse. A lot of things I didn't choose, but racing and endurance sports was always the void. Because swimming was a big deal when I was young and I swam a heat winner when I was 7 and that was the last time I ever won in competitive sport. I got picked last my entire life for everything, because my growth was stunted by my asthma and I was the youngest person---I was basically skipped ahead relative to my peers and small for my age. The ultra endurance scene---just watching on CZcams, thanks mostly to my brother---got me hooked on running, because the leaderboard is probably either close to underweight or slightly underweight using BMI classifications. If I make it it comes down to the short game and I've been overlooking that the entire time I've been training. My dad tried to get me to be a golfer---and he always told me the same thing. It all comes down to the short game. That's a tough pace.
