  • This race is a 55k or 34 mile Ultra Marathon from Woolwich to Richmond through South London. Can I run it having not had any run training in over 5 months?

    I used to run regularly, mostly indoors on a treadmill in the gym at my office. But I lost access to that gym along with my job, 6 years ago. Anyways, I've gone running the odd time since then, but nothing for a couple years. Went out and did 5.5km on Saturday, mostly running. My reduced weight and improved aerobic fitness definitely helped. But I couldn't believe how sore my quads were for a couple days afterwards. I figured it would be my feet, ankles, calves, or hips. But no, the quads that I've been working out on the bike for the last couple years. Planning to do it again this weekend, hopefully without so much soreness afterwards this time.

    you probably wont remember my comment but in January, I told you I had just had to cancel all my cycle events for this year due to a minor heart issue and you replied saying it is often darkest just before the dawn.
    Well, after 4.5 months of keeping my heart rate down to allow things to recover, I am back to training (and very unfit). But I'm having a great time catching up with everything you have done since Jan, (I haven;t watched CZcams since my diagnosis as usually watch it whilst indoor cycling).
    A massive well done on your fitness improvements since Jan, for your Zwift wins, for your Vent Top effort and your London to Brighton ride...and esp for getting up Ditchling Beacon. My goal is to start to build my fitness again and maybe even one day share a race with you in Zwift 😀
    Keep up the inspirational training and videos - they really do make a difference to your subscribers

      It’s not so much the fitness that makes marathons as hard as they are. It’s your entire bodyweight crashing down through one individual foot at a time over and over again, 50,000 times that makes it a challenge 🤣.

  • @korsveien
    @korsveien Před 13 dny

    On the bike you push down. Running you kick backwards. To put it simply. That’s totally different muscles. Another thing is you haven’t really done any zone 2 training either. So your fitness is probably way above average, but you lack a ton of specifics for this event.
