My No. 1 tip: consistency
Great video as always team
Yep! I got injured a few times last year and kept losing my progress. This year, no big injuries, just got sick a couple times, and I feel heaps better. Next year, aiming to be consistent again, but I'll be able to slightly crank it up
My top tip is to get a running book to read on your rest day so that you can still be thinking about running while you're not running. I guess you could get a book to listen to while you're running as well, but my tip is that it helps people who find it hard to not run to at least still feel like they're participating during down time. Most inspring books for me are: "Born to Run"; "The Road to Sparta"; "Running Free"; and "Today We Die a LIttle". Thank you so much for your 26.2 tips!
Thanks for the great tip
My tip to have a bunch of running friends who have similar pace and train together. As you spend 80% of your running easy, having friends to chat is really help.
The positive mindset. Knowing there are other folks who say 'this (running) is hard' but 'we can do hard things'. That's kept me going!!
And I've found statistics helped me realize I was middle of the pack, when I felt disappointed in my pace.
Great Video Ben ! Thanks for sharing all the tips ! Some of them helped me for my Marathon in Valencia a few days ago.
Awesome tips as always Ben. Certainly found your training plans really helpful to achieve those goals 😀. Also I have have found yoga sessions really help as part of your cross training. All the best at getting it done. 😀🏃♂️.
My tip would definitely be to join a running club. I did for the first time earlier this year and learned so much from coaches and other members. Made some great friends and is very cheap.
Where's the Valencia video? How did it go?
Where’s the Valencia marathon review? 👍🤔😃
Feel like Ben mentioned it would be on Sunday 👍
Yes, he said Sunday on Strava
Don't be hard on yourself. Protect your mental health.
Smooth seas never made a good sailor mate. Be extra hard on yourself and you’ll be far stronger mentally. If you need to be bubbled wrap from adversity to “protect your mental health” you don’t have any mental health.
@@dbo4506 this was my advice to new runners, because being over zealous can lead to injury, and while i hear what you are saying, i stand by what i said.
Absolutely! Learning to listen to your body knowing when to rest are great things. Building consistency is much more easily done when you enjoy what you are doing and stay injury free!
You can’t hate yourself into being better
@@chrisvanbuggenum871 this is just stupid. You can’t do anything without a healthy mind. You’re welcome to work yourself to insanity or self loathing.
Thanks for this vid! I just ran my first full marathon and conpletely bonked haha but it was such a fun experience and i cant wait to do more
Really useful information
Thanks Ben!🙌
Great video Ben, enjoyed watching and thanks for the tips
Hmmm no video from Valencia?
My No1 tip is to book some races! It’s is a great motivator but also you learn so much at each one! Did my first two marathons this year, already have 3 lined up for next and numerous shorter distances.
I did my first marathon last year. In 2023, I plan to run 2. I just got notified yesterday that I was accepted to run the Chicago Marathon in 2023. Nothing motivates better than to have a goal.
@@johnrwilker hi john! congrats on your first maratthon. good luck in chicago, have a good day and keep tranining.
Hope Valencia went well Ben. Thanks for sharing
Where is the Valencia marathon video?
No 1 tip consistency and running in all weathers especially in the winter for me. Awesome video and tips. Thanks Ben 👍
Another great video Ben thanks
Lot of great advice. One of my tips for running -- especially if you want to get faster is get comfortable with being uncomfortable. Hard work will pay off. I think you also nailed it with the advice: keep your easy runs easier than you think. Save your energy for the tough workouts / races.
Great tips, thank you so much :)
Great tips Ben & thanks for the podcast shoutout 🙌🏾😁
I’ve a half booked in for Feb, full in April and an ultra in May and have hardly ran at all!! On my 4th bout of Covid this year - need to get healthy so I can run! 😂 thanks for the tips I’ll be using some of them when I’m running gain 👍
Wow, Ben, this is a long, impressive but very useful "marathon" video session. Will watch it again and again, every few months or so. Thanks!
Great tips Ben 💯
Great video!
I am starting an off-season strength and pre-Hab program with the ATG app. It has already helped stabilize my knees and strengthen my glutes.
On a marathon try to avoid running on the racing line, and RUN YOUR OWN RACE! The racing line is not only the busiest line on the course, but it's also a line chosen by somebody else. Choose your own line, and trust your own body and your own decisions.
Some great tips in there Ben, many that I know I’m neglecting myself and should get to work on. Something I have learnt, is not to compare myself to others on Strava, or see out when I am running. Other people are on their running journey, I am on mine and we are all at different stages on that journey. They could be faster (most of the time they are 😀) and that’s ok…I’m doing my thing “Getting It Done” and they are doing theirs. So a question for you and Sarah…..what happened in Valencia, I think you got a 3:05:** ??? Well done on finishing, that’s always my priority. I’m not on any other social media (it dulls the mind 😂). I thought it would have been your next video(?). Anywho, hope you are both well. Keep on getting it done and I will see you in the next one 👍
Great vlog as always Ben. What are your tips for carrying fuel in a race. For long training runs I use a trail pack, but I do not want to wear that during a marathon. Water is always available on course, but how to carry enough gels? Do you have any tips for multi pocket shorts that can carry say 6 gels? Perhaps "Ben Parkes Marathon Shorts"?
Smile and say hello to everyone and there dogs on your runs-is my top tip to enjoying running further and faster!
I box in the military but I got into running recently and been enjoying it man I used to hate it but had to do to pass fitness tests etc but I mentioned and asked for advice in another video about hills I hate them but I know if I improve on them I will get better my personal recommendation for fitness doing boxing is skipping and burpees well good exercises
Thanks
thank you very much Teddy!! 😀
Keep sleep a priority!
When the Valencia marathan out Ben? Looking forward to seeing that.
Wow, your background view reminds me so much of Boston
Running a marathon in 3.5 months after finishing halve a marathon 2 months ago. when I ren halve a marathon I couldnt walk afterwards, so im hoping ill be able to train enough for the whole marathon.
Ben is Running inspired 26.2 questions 🤩
On 8 make easy runs easy I agree but am curious as to what pace that should actually be as on Strava I see you do quite a lot of runs at close to a 7:00 min/mile average which isn't far off sub 3 marathon pace. Do you find that pace easy ?
easy pace depends of your heart rate. if you know your max heart rate it's just doing the math. my MAX is 184/minute, I do my easy runs between 90-120. in easy run you should be capable of keeping your mouth closed and only breath through your nose, that easy
Ser 1 ser, easy doesn't mean low heart rate, a common misconception! If on average every single stride is 3x body mass. If you lower your hr by 1bpm but still run at the same pace with the same body mass, from a physical standpoint, the run is no easier than being 1 bpm higher on average. Think of easy as looking to lower your forces from bm x 3 to bm x 2.9.
Follow a training plan, don’t get obsessed with data, and don’t get injured 😊
Leave the ego at home when it comes to times on strava etc. We can be our worse enemies when it comes to putting stuff up. More worried about what people think than what’s important for the session.
100% top tip! I wish I'd said this instead! 👍
Dont compare yourself!
0°C is 32°F. My favorite running weather is when it's 20°F. 😎
How many rest days would be ideal on a weekly basis during marathon training? (3h goal)
1 or 2.
Best running tip: Put your kit on before you convince yourself you’ll run another day.
Try to be consistent, but don't stress if your training/fitness/weight goes up and down throughout the year. Life happens, and nobody can peak all the time (that's why it's called peak).
Herebiddy! ❤👍
I ran 30k in about 2hrs 10 and then blow up and the last 12km took another two hours 🤣
Consistency
Recovery (rest, sleep)
Listen to your body
Strength and conditioning
80% easy, 20% hard sessions
increase your mileage (same applies for km) gradually, or you massively increase injury risk, ask me how I know 😉
Get some new shoes, get some motivation.
Running form tip video - not practical at all your suggestion about someone recording it. Not feasible for everybody. Not good idea !
