I've got a half marathon coming up. So excited to cross that finish line
So looking forward to marathon season
Scottish half marathon on 19th September only gave myself 9 weeks to train . so hoping some muscle memory kicks in from doing several a few years ago . 😬
How can you train for a more hilly race when you live in a flat area?
Oh my goodness, I can’t believe how close marathon season is! So excited to finally be close to running my first marathon - especially excited for the Sterling marathon next year and hopefully one day the London marathon! Thank you to the running channel for making me feel more prepared and much less nervous!
Started exercising during a very dark period in my life. After the gyms closed due to covid I transitioned to running; and hated it with a passion. But... it gave me some piece of mind and having done something productive in my day gave me a fulfilling feeling.
First time I topped out at 7:30/km pace and felt like dying 3 times during my 3km run. Half year later I completed 5 half marathons, nearing the 2h barrier and looking ahead to the marathon and beyond. Kinda addicted by now...
I am very similar
YAY! You guys always happen to upload when I’m getting ready for my long run so I love watching as I’m training for my first marathon! I have 20 miles to do today! 💃🏻
Good luck with your run, Theresa!
I was surprised when Anna’s answer to the “What do you wear for a marathon” question was: “Nothing!”
I don't remember that. I can't believe I missed it!
@@RobDickson69 9:48. Granted she keeps on going with her point from there, but it still surprised me in the moment :)
"Nothing!" huh.... what?.... "New. On. Race day!", ah that makes a lot more sense XD
Love it - I've done 2 marathons and am training for an ultra, which feels like a whole different ball game, but the basic principles you have highlighted in this video still apply!
Glad it was helpful, Anne! 😊
I've only just signed up for my first ever race, the Chatsworth 10k. Hopefully I can progress to a half, and then, gulp, a marathon one day 👍🏻🏃♂️
You're on the right path for that, Mark! Good luck for your 10K 😊
One step at a time, you'll get there though.
I'm also now googling the chatsworth 10k!
@@saffie1990 thanks! It looks like an interesting race with all sorts of terrain.
10k for your first ever race??? you better have trained very well 6 miles non-stop is no joke
Currently in Training for my first ever Marathon in October. Took up running during the Covid lockdown and watching your videos have helped fuel my new passion 😁
Must say I love that the answers are so straight forward. Long time since I've trained and trying to get back into it. Content is fun and makes me want to train for a marathon!
I’m 50yo living in rural Queensland, Australia. Started running again in January this year with mind and heart set on Racing the Planet Atacama Desert Crossing 250k stage race in 3-4 years. Training has progressed from needing to walk after 10-12min to running long runs over 10k comfortably non-stop and now weigh 83kg from 96kg at the start of the year! I’ve notched up 5 x Parkrun PBs this year so far and looking at my first trail 1/2 marathon in December. Next year I have my sights on 4-5 trail marathons. The Running Channel has been such an inspiration, motivation and school for me not just starting to run again but to keep running and running smart. God bless your team and no doubt you’ll have a part to play as I progress in training and achievements towards my ultimate goal.
I went through a dark period in my life and running has been a savior. All those tougher runs were all worth it in the end and made me a bit addicted haha.
I couldnt have done it without the help of The Running Channel. This community is amazing and im grateful to be part of it. Thank you so much. ;)
I recently ran my first half marathon and now a full marathon seems somehow more impossibly long... Kudos to all of you that manage through one! Respect!
A marathon is just two half marathons - that doesn't seem so hard, right? Right...? 😂
If you're worried get a running buddy to sign up and run it together!
After a work accident a few years ago my husband got a lot bigger than he would have wanted and lost all fitness due to not being able to exercise. This year he took up running and has done so well, lost loads of weight and done a 5k and 10k race so far and has now signed up for his first marathon next summer. I am so proud of him.
I started running when I was in the darkest place of my life in January, now i'm running a half marathon next weekend. Shows anyone can achieve their goals, running is awesome therapy!
Just ordered a running channel sweatshirt that I can’t wait to wear on my runs! I’ve been watching your channel for awhile and its great to have such a sense of community. Anna and I could definitely be besties if we lived in the same country :)
Hi guys! Thanks for all the great info on top marathon questions answered! Me, my husband and son are all running in the Brighton Marathon in 3 weeks! Super excited and dreading it in equal measures! 😆😆😆 Goal: to cross the finish line! 🏃♂️ 🏃 🏃♀️
Best of luck for the Brighton Marathon! Completing a marathon is an achievement enough!
This channel really helped prep me for my first marathon earlier this year, it will always have a place in my heart
Currently marathon training so I appreciate you guys consistently pumping out marathon-specific videos to keep me motivated! Going to do my best to make you all proud on race day💪😊
I've only done one marathon so far. Lochness Marathon was beautiful. Enjoyed most of it 😂 Hoping to run my 2nd Marathon in May next year. 🤞
Did you see the loch ness monster?!!
Thanks guys! I’ve been watching a lot of the channel. I’m running my first marathon soon. 12 weeks of training from a “base”. Feeling good so far. Thanks for the info.
I love your channel! I started running about 4 months ago and have my first half marathon in 4 weeks! I'm very excited and nervous, but here's to hoping it's the start of more halfs and (someday) full marathons!
Absolutely love your videos. Keeping me motivated and as a relatively new runner answering all the questions I’m too embarrassed to ask anyone!
Love it! I ran my own solo marathon in Rome during April this year. I remember hitting a wall around 30k and had to walk for a little bit. Without crowds and aid stations it was a massive challenge - thankfully Rome has plenty of water fountains! I managed it in 3:40, which I was so chuffed with. Huge respect for all marathon runners: it's a true achievement. This channel was so helpful for inspiration during my training. On my way to an ultra now! :)
The running channel is always helping everyone! You guys rock! Love from New York
For the first time in my life I'm actually enjoying running and I've been binge-watching your videos since I've set myself the goal of running a marathon next year. Thanks for all the useful tips and tricks!
Appreciate that your videos are always approachable to newer runners! My favorite Marathon is Dublin, currently training for Firewater 100k in Tennessee in October - fingers crossed!
The running channel has been supporting me through my journey from doing couch to 5k during May 2020 to doing the London Marathon in 6 weeks time for Crohn’s & Colitis UK! Thank you so much for all the great videos keeping me going 💜
Great q&a’s thank you, it’s my first marathon and I’m doing it as my disabled son is going into adult care when he turns 18 in October and it’s helping my mental health stay on track!
After losing over 70 lbs in 2019, I came across Annas video of her running the NYC Marathon. This motivated me to get into running and now I will be running my first marathon in November, in NYC!
Always love your videos. So informative, easy watching and fun. I'm running my first marathon in October. Pretty nervous about it but training is going well. Thanks guys. X
Running my first marathon in October, and your videos provide vital information. Thanks for all your content!
Thanks for all the tips, love seeing you two together again
I ran my first Marathon last Saturday. Thank you Running Channel, you were my online support and coach during the whole process!!
Only recently started training for marathon distance, consequently stumbled upon your channel and am loving it! Thank you!
Great to hear! Good luck with your training Carolyn! Which marathon are you running?
Taking on my first marathon in October! You guys have made the prep so much more fun and easier - always answering the questions that pop up along the way :)
I can't thank the Running Channel enough for all the advice and community vibes. I only started running in Jan but I have my first marathon coming up! Xxx
Great video! I'm glad I found this channel I've really enjoyed all of your great videos!
Yesss!!!! I LOVED this video! So needed. I've ran 3 half marathons before, and have 2 later this year... (GNR and Manchester Half) but I bit the bullet and signed up for my first ever FULL MARATHON next April (Manchester Marathon)
I am scared and excited in equal measure but even more relieved to have found your channel a few weeks ago as I know there will be plenty of content to look through for help along the way!
Thanks guys as always :)
I'm glad I found your channel. I've been running again since August of last year (after about a 10 year gap) and I signed up to run my first marathon this October.
This was incredibly helpful as I am currently training for my first marathon! I have definitely utilized your channel and videos thus far, and am grateful for tips such as these because training is TOUGH. As a Floridian, the heat and humidity of summer here has recently been getting to me, but here's to pushing through and hoping it'll strengthen me further for race day!
Currently training for my first half marathon race in September. I am so excited and glad that the running channel is giving me all the tips to get through it.Yay
As usual you guys are always inspiring. Rick hope your recovery is going well and that you can eventually get back to a marathon yourself.
Just signed up for my first marathon in Edinburgh next May and these videos are great, they’re giving me lots of useful tips for how I should start my training. Thank you and keep up the good work 👍🏻
Thanks for the tips and reminders. A great help before my first race post plague.
I’ve been running for nearly 2 years now and it’s really kept me sane during difficult times
I ran my first and only marathon during lockdown (solo and virtual) and it’s one of my proudest achievements even if the time was pretty slow. I have my first real race next month so all the tips here are really useful!
Preparing for my first marathon I am so grateful that you've answered these questions. 🙏
I have started building up my base fitness before committing to my full marathon training schedule. I will be running the Manchester marathon next April. Current runs around the 6mile mark. Anything I do I throw myself fully into and become obsessive about it so this channel is perfect for all my research and queries. Keep up the good work guys and stay healthy.
Your videos are always filled with helpful info. Definitely hit the wall during my first marathon in 2019. Weather was just crazy warm during the marathon while all my training was done in cold, rainy/stormy weather. Focussing on more strength training and practicing my nutrition more on my long runs this time around. Fingers crossed Rotterdam won't get postponed again 🤞.
Thanks for all the great work you guys do! Always tuning in!
And good luck to everyone who is training for an upcoming race!
Thanks for the kind words Claudia! Good luck for your upcoming races 😊
Thanks guys. A lot of this was very relatable. I’m training for my 2nd virtual London marathon and I’ve also bitten the bullet and booked my first ever ultra for April 2022 😨
Good luck to everyone training 👍🏼
Thank you for all of your help as I train for my first marathon! Love yall.
Training for my first half marathon in October and planning to work up to a full marathon next year! The content here has been super helpful in that prep, keep up the good work!
Love this video!! Definitely excited for my first marathon in San Diego this fall! 60 days to the day until race day. Thanks for the helpful tips!
Awesome, thank you for the great tips!
Perfect time to find this video, just finished my long run on week 2 of my training program!
First marathon in October (Manchester) and I am the last man standing from my group of 3. Scared but really looking forward to it at the same time. Anna and Sarah’s videos are really helping. Keep it up!
Your videos are so helpful! I am still a newbie at running, but your videos make me really excited to start your marathon training plan! 💪🏻
Thanks for adressing these questions. Running the Leiden (Holland) marathon this October and signing up for de London marathon 2022. You guys are insperational.
Thank you so much for all the information and videos that keep me motivated during the dark days.
Thanks for watching Derrick ❤️
Love it, training for my first marathon, long run today did not go as planned, but learning to embrace the lessons and enjoy the journey.
I am halfway through training for my first marathon so great to get tips on what to think about. Hopefully will see it through. Would be interested to know more about coping with the “wall”
I'm slowly working my way up to a half marathon distance this year, fighting through injuries and family life, hopefully I can enter a trail marathon next summer. Thank you for all the inspiration and advice!
Y’all are so helpful. Thank you for the great content, from Atlanta Georgia.
Many thanks for your Ts and Cs. I have booked for my first marathon in Brighton April 2022. Getting nervous even this far away. Coming back from a very bad injury which has been difficult for me, your videos been very helpful. Keep up the great content. 👍
Thanks Michael! Easy does it and good luck with your training for Brighton 😊
Thanks for the answers to many of my questions. I’m running my first marathon in a couple of months and your training guide and videos are great for my training and ease some of my fears I sometimes get as I’m getting closer to race day.
That's great to hear, Sara! Glad we can help 😊
Started running in a new country, in a new city and I love discovering all the new paths and views that it has to offer. Greetings from Switzerland 🇨🇭
Thank you, love the advise!
Training for my first half marathon in October, really like watching these videos of yours!
Building back up after a calf strsin and excited to start some long runs again! Thanks for all the coaching!
My first thought when I watched this video was oh man, I wish I was a runner and subscribed to the running channel when they were doing this competition (perhaps 2 years ago). Then I realised it's a new video! Aiming for a marathon in 2022. Training for a half this autumn.
Great advice - thank you Running Channel!
Thanks for posting! Running my 2 nd half marathon today! You guys are so helpful! Wish me luck
Love this channel!! So glad I found you awhile back and subscribed. Extremely helpful especially after injuries. Starting to run again and s.l.o.w.l.y build up miles! Thank you so much. 👍🏃♂️
Great question and answers. Inspiring!
Another great video with some excellent tips thanks guys
Thank you Rick and Anna another useful video for my London Marathon training.
This will be my third marathon, but my first London one. Feeling excited, but nervous at the same time!
I’m doing my first ever marathon at Manchester 2022! So excited for it! I started running again back in October and did a half marathon by myself in February during the really strict lockdown (was probably my favourite memory from the first half of the year!). I got a few injuries along the way (the classic tendinitis and ITBS) but now building back up for my first half race at the end of September and then the marathon next year! Love the videos and all the advice 💪🏻
My Google history looks like this at the moment... ,
"how to get free running shoes"
"discount running shoes"
"can I run a marathon in Endorphin Speeds"
"why does the top of my foot hurt after running"
"how to tie a runner's knot"
"pace for 4:30 marathon"
"is five hours a good marathon time"
"what is the time limit in the Berlin Marathon"
"running shoe sale"...
I must make for very boring company at the moment because all I'm able to talk about is marathon training (and running shoes)!
Running my second ever marathon at Brighton in September. Always enjoy your channel as it answers all my questions…
Guys, seriously loving the channel. Such great ressources :)
Thanks for watching Pat!
Yay - Excellent video 👍I am training for Galway Bay marathon on October 02nd, 18miles ran this morning, I really love the long runs! As always great to see Anna & Rick do a video 😀
Thanks for watching Jennifer, and good luck with your training! Which tip did you find the most useful? 😊
I’m so excited to be running the London marathon this year - have been training on and off throughout the pandemic when it’s been postponed but am more prepared now 💪 love your videos, I have learned so much since being subscribed
This channel is amazing, I’ve learned a lot over the last year and a half or so since I came across it. Signed up for my first marathon last year, but it was postponed to this December. 😬 So nervous/excited…Honolulu here I come!
Was meant to be running the London Marathon in 2020 and now I won't be running until October 2022! Love your videos for keeping me motivated!
I really enjoy watching your videos. They have really helped me
Great tips and video! Thanks Running Channel!
Glad you liked it!
Loved Anna's comment about taking the race at your own pace and not worrying about other people--you all complete the same distance. As someone with degenerative conditions in both knees, own pace gets an A+ in my book.
Love watching your videos! Queenstown Marathon in New Zealand is a must-do marathon. A very scenic marathon event.
Far better than google, tips are super useful and calmed all my marathon stresses. Now just need to get out the door on my long run.
Great video! Been enjoying all the marathon themed ones as I am currently preparing for my first!
Good luck Colleen!
Running my first half next weekend and this video was perfectly timed for it! Hopefully after that I can keep up with training and run a marathon (although I haven't decided which one yet) or perhaps even an ultra! Love the videos, keep up the great work!
Excited to be right in the middle of training for marathon #2 in the US. Love your videos!
Great advise n video as always thanks guys
Training for the NYC Marathon and very excited! Thank you for the tips!
I have only done the Jersey Marathon in 2013 and now a good few years later, I am attempting the London Marathon in 5 weeks eeeeek. Really enjoying these videos - thank you so much for all the tips!
Nice to see you back presenting together Anna and Rick! I’m waiting to hear if I’ve got a charity place for the London Marathon next year and I’m so so excited to find out. I’m determined to do a marathon next year! 🥳
You guys have been a shining light in my training for my second marathon.
I ran a virtual Marathon a few weeks before my son was born in the midst of COVID last year. Now a year later, I’m training with the running stroller and about to do my second just before his birthday.
On the mornings that I’m feeding him at the butt crack of dawn and don’t want to run before work, I watch you videos to pump myself up!
Thanks for all the help! Keep posting wonderful videos!
That's lovely to hear Anthony - we're glad you enjoy them!
Great video thanks! Been looking for tips and support to build up to a marathon one day
I appreciate the videos - they're very helpful and entertaining. Still running 5 and 10K's, working up to a half marathon (at age 70).
Thankyou for this informative video. 👍👍 I'm training for my first marathon in Melbourne which is also my 30th Birthday. I'm glad I found The Running Channel, I have been watching your videos consistently and getting tips to be a better runner. Keep up the good work. 🙂👍
Very very useful information...thank you!
Thanks for being the most accessible source of running info on CZcams!
What’s a good time to start tapering from your last long ~20 mile long run?
Awesome video as always! I just signed up for my first road marathon and this was well needed information 😄
