Not yet and good video
Marathon of Amsterdam October 2019: After 1.5 weeks I was able to walk normally again. And now, about 0.5 year later, I still sometimes feel my knees and my left upper leg.
Ive run 5 starting at age 50... daunting task .... I question why I keep going back ... My best answer is cause I still can ...
I ran my first one almost 3 weeks ago. I registered for another about 3 weeks from now. I highly recommend you check out ultra-running because it debunks a lot of “marathon science” that is widely accepted as true. I hope to do ultra marathons next year, so I took my training advice from that realm. I will explain:
1) you don’t need to carb load to avoid the wall. You can eat real food. In a 100 mile race, if you hit the wall at 20, you are a long way from home. Eat whatever is real food because your body needs macronutrients like fat and protein to prevent from failing. Rule of thumb is to eat whatever doesn’t make you throw up. I ate 2 grilled cheese sandwiches on my marathon, and it worked great. I didn’t hit the wall, and I passed everyone who did. Some ultra runners like to eat Big Macs around mile 50. It’s subjective. It has to be nutrient dense and not just sugar.
2) you don’t need to worry about dehydration if you drink water. This should be done. People who don’t drink water are fools. People who don’t carry it with them are also fools. Try drinking what they provide at aid stations. The cups are tiny and they’re only half full.
3) you don’t need to worry about electrolyte deficiency if you take salt pills. Take 1 every hour. It reduces sweating, as well as muscle fatigue. It also helps retain moisture better. It’s more effective than sports drinks. I presume this will also help with hypothermia after because you won’t be soaked in your own sweat. They contain more than just salt. They have potassium, calcium, and magnesium as well. It’s lighter than Gatorade. It helps much more. I don’t know what else to say.
4) injury is inevitable. That should not discourage people. Everyone gets injured. The important takeaway is to know how to cope with it and how to treat it. If I have to, I walk with a cane sometimes, which is very helpful. My marathon recovery lasted 4 days. After the 5th day I get perfectly normal and was able to run again. I’m not a professional, or even that good at this, but the right attitude and determination is helpful.
My body during a marathon: "I am alive without my own consent"
Omg i even found you here 😂
😂
Lmao, you were here 2year ago
I ran my first marathon yesterday. It was intense towards the end. But somehow I managed to finish. I am so glad I did not quit.
Me 2
Me three
Congrats ! I just finished the Paris marathon this morning !
"your pulse might get as high as 140bpm or more". You guys haven't even seen my heart rate monitor levels after my marathon 😅😬🔥
Same here! 140 is my easy recovery pace. Marathon pace is more like 160 and 170-180 towards the end 🤣
0.5% of Americans will run a Marathon in their life. Wow. That's higher than I thought it would be.
Me too. I feel like its less lol
I ran my first official route marathon..
It was a great achievement to finish in 4.26 mnts..
I did not quit
Fun Fact: The messenger who ran 25 miles died after he reached his destiny
Low blood sugar is dangerous, but burning fat for energy instead of sugar is not inherently a bad or dangerous thing. The Wall is uncomfortable and slow, but your body is always burning some fat, even when the main fuel source is glycogen. The sudden drop in energy output happens because you run out of sugar and must burn fat which requires a lower power, but even a person with a low-but-healthy body fat percentage has hundreds of thousands of calories worth of fat on board.
Ultra runners are able to do that, i.e., keep running by using fat as energy, but (most)marathon runners can't do that because you have to train your body before the race and during the preparation in order to achieve this. That's why they hitting the wall and not because they switch from burning glucose to burning fat. Also ultra runners stop during the race and eat even ordinary food, not just gels or bars because they burn many more calories. In a marathon you can't do that, because of cut out times, missing your goal or again they are not trained to do that AND keep running without GI problems
The moment the narrator said 140bpm a minute the whole video went to shit even world class marathoners can't obtain that over such distances without considerably slowing their pace neither the narrator or the script writer runs
What happen if you do *100 push up 100 situps 100 squats 10km* every single day for 3 years?
You go bald.
Yorha Lolibot and life become meaningless because you’re OP
SAITAMAAAAAAA 💪
@@aaronsmith9009 this. Some need to read the human biological science behind these long distances. - active runner
The pain is almost comparable like heaving a kickboxing match where you gave a lot of lowkicks
Not sure what runner’s high is. I’ve never experienced it before even after running a marathon.
Any Kenyan here? 😂💙🇰🇪
I did a marathon, and I'm so happy. And everything you said is completely right, it's quite funny to think of.
I'm in great shape due to going to the gym. Why would anyone want to damage their body by over running.
And this is how you get caught on a lie dude. If you are going to the gym, then you know how proper training works for getting in shape. Nobody who has a brain starts a marathon without being properly trained and being able to run lots of lots of kilometers weekly.
Yeah it’s mad someone hasn’t thought of something called months and months of training and being prepared
Short explanation *death*
A piece of advice from a T&F and Cross Country long-distance runner. Know your limits and remember to ease into anything. You're not going anywhere with shin splints and injuries. Lol
Knowledge supports growth.
Congratulations! for your video, I was walking mixed by slow jogging 80 km per day for 60 days(Athens 15th international ultra marathon festival 2020 in age 64) I did 4750 kilometers! In total time 60 days, What do u think? Is that good?.😊😊.
Pretty good. I hope to be that fit when I’m your age in another 3 decades. Have you always been like this? I’m really curious to know because I have met some people that are in great shape when they get older, and they say they’ve been doing it their whole livesZ. What’s your secret?
140bpm lol
Nike! Yeah, what was his name Pheidippides? We could ask him. Too late.
Grecko Persian war history is pretty interesting.
Just do it
I ran a half marathon several times I usually only have run for about a month before them....usually run about 10 min a mile. When i trained a few months I ran at about 8:30 min a mile but I could have run quicker I wasn't even sore after the race or the next day. A full would be a lot more work I think.
dang you make Running a Marathon sound like some one on drugs
Dang I have that problem everyday not able to sleep every night.....maybe I should cut back on some running.
The only useful thing I feel you shared was the Mylar blanket the rest was to much talking
Your information on carbs is out of date. Plz look into the new use of a low carb diet to prevent the wall.
Kim in Alaska thank you I was going to post the same.
Eating real food helps. I like grilled cheese on my king runs because it has carbs, but the dairy has fat and protein and is easier to digest than other meats. Anything that’s nutrient dense that doesn’t make you vomit is good
1st. Nice vid
Self torture.
Work for amazon and you'll find out day 1 🙂
This guy has never run
140 bpm is not a high heart rate...
Have have one toe that the skins comes off during long runs idk why
This video is for people who dont train enough for the marathon. lol
One very long monotonous and painful run that's what you're putting yourself through. The damning thing is it's fun
Why would anybody choose to go through that pain just for a medal and bragging rights
This is coming from a runner who has run the paces of a half marathon but didn't go through all the bull shit of entry fees lol
I ran it on my own time and it took a couple of hours but I didn't push myself to the point where my body broke down and I still got the job done
It teaches you how to set goals, stick to them and accomplish those goals with the right mind set and preparation. All life skills more than bragging rights.
@@lineialquantum thank you for the perspective :)
@@lineialquantum They could just go work at amazon. They do it to to compete.
The challenge, the race will make you push yourself more than you would in training or running solo. It’s crazy how the other runners pull you forward. The other thing is to test yourself on different courses, some are really designed to test, more undulating etc. Anyways, give it a go
@@DG-nn8zt That's good and all but look up the studies of what it can do to your bodies both short and long term. But that's a awesome feat you can get through.
Hey
early
