Just finished my first marathon. Ran for the first time for years in July, and then onto a half a month ago and a marathon today. 5:39 but very happy with the result. 41 mpw peak. Next year will stick to halfs to build weekly mileage and training months. Your videos were super helpful for me. I had good pace miles 1-22 and 24 to the end, but I hit the wall hard miles 22-24. My heart rate and cardio felt good then, but my legs felt like they had no strength and my knees/connective tissue felt so weak. Glad I pushed through!

My first Boston, that's exactly how I felt! I think I was able to adjust expectations after that and prepare my mindset for it better. For racing purposes, I will always prefer a race that's quite a bit smaller, but still has good crowd support.

Thanks for sharing such an inspirational story ❤ and congrats to you and Sal!!! You're absolutely right about the experience is more important than the time. I was lucky to complete the 2024 NYC marathon after getting respiratory infections last year and had to defer, so I can relate to Sal's hardships to get to the start line. We were blessed with perfect weather and amazing support from spectators, volunteers, and organizers. NYC is something that all marathoners should experience once in their lifetime.

I definitely think there is room for both in a running journey - and many times runners who have "strong marathon" or "great experience" as the main goal naturally end up getting a PR anyway! I'm so happy for you that you are healthy now and had an awesome comeback year!! Agree, if someone can find a way into NYC and has the funds to do it, it's incredibly worth it.

@@runningwithjane She was not (outwardly) running with a time goal, but finished in 3:59:55!! She had never run further than 20 miles, and I warned her that her "preservation brain" would try to get her to quit and for her not to give into it. That the feeling of wanting it to be over can get to be a bit overwhelming. She said that she remembered that when she got back into Manhattan. But then she faced the dilemma of bringing on muscle cramps by running too hard and blowing up vs just getting to the end. She drank and fueled appropriately for her effort. She turned 50 this year and just happened to enter the lottery on a lark. She never had any interest in running that distance. I'll be very surprised if she doesn't try another one in 2025. Regarding your husband, the Virtual NYC Marathon is now (sadly) by lottery, but if you are selected and run it, you get guaranteed entry to the race in NYC. So that's two lottery methods (at least; they had a sweepstakes as well). Something to remember for next year. Ie enter regular lottery for 2025 and the virtual to run in 2025 for entry in 2026. Now that I've said it, I think I may start arranging my race calendar for that. I would love to run NYC again.

Running Jane I’f my half marathon pr is around 145 to 1 49 you think I need to be doing my of my long runs 14-16 miles at 1020 and 10 30 paces? Even my long runs 19-20 miles need be 10 20 paces you think? No faster?
@runningwithjane11 сағат бұрын
If it's an easy paced run or long run, yes, that would be a good starting point. But it should also be by feel...erring on the side of slower not faster though. If you can get through most of a long run strong at those paces, nothing wrong with bumping up the pace/effort for the last couple of miles. If it's a common for the last few miles of your long run to get slower, than that's a clear sign you're going too fast for most of the run.

There are people in this world where you have to ask yourself sometimes, “Why would they be handed such hardship in life?” It’s unfair and yet a harsh reality. These are the feelings that hit me on Aug. 8, 2023 when I received a text from my athlete’s @salgomez262 wife that he had been hit by a car during his first triathlon and was in the hospital in critical condition. Of course I would have asked “why him?” for anyone, but what you have to know about Sal and his wife, Jill, is that they already had to endure the pain of having a child with kidney disease, whom Sal gave his kidney to in 2021. So kind and selfless, “G- dammit, he doesn’t deserve this,” is all I could think while my heart broke for them all. Trying to understand was futile. Sal spent the next weeks fighting for his life from the traumatic brain injury he had suffered. Other than donating money, I personally felt helpless and wished I could do more. Of course you pray and hope for the best, but I really didn’t know what his prognosis was for a long time. I immediately vowed to run for the @nationalkidneyfoundation in his honor because quite honestly I feared he wouldn’t have the opportunity to run for them again as he did when he ran the NYC Marathon in 2022. But I underestimated the fight in this incredible human and that this family already knew how to navigate a life when it tries to put you down. On Sept. 16th I heard from Sal, “These injuries have been kicking my ass, but I’m not going to let them beat me!! My wife and my boys have been the best crew in my life!” Sal jogged his first steps right around the time of the NYC Marathon in 2023 and told me he couldn’t wait to do it again. I was so thrilled for him but I would be lying if I said I really thought he’d be back in 2024. I was so wrong. What’s important to know is that prior to Sal’s accident he was already nearly complete with the 9+1 program NYC offers to earn guaranteed entry into the race. On Nov. 19th, 2023, Sal walked with his wife Jill in circles around a nearby park to complete his final step in the process with a virtual 5k. And I knew right then there’s nowhere else he’d be the first Sunday in November but on the start line of the NYC Marathon. I’ve never run for anyone but me. This marathon was different. Getting into the NYC Marathon was for Sal, his family and for everyone who’s had to suffer from kidney disease. I will always hold dear the honor of getting to run every step of the 2024 NYC marathon with such an inspiring person. The reality is, we never really know another person’s journey. Running among 55,000 on those streets, you know if you took the time to listen you’d hear the most incredible stories. I’m glad to be able to share Sal’s. Honestly I still don’t understand and still ask myself, “Why him?” But I think if you asked Sal, he’d just tell you he’s the luckiest.

@@runningwithjane Yup Indy. Coming from the hills here in Cincinnati, I wanted something flatter. Weather was perfect, which was a huge factor for me. I'm Canadian and I've never adjusted to humidity. I tried Carmel earlier in the year and bailed after half since I knew it was too hot. I used so many of the things you've said in your videos. This one was front and center as I ran. I stayed with 4:00 pace group through 12, then I kind of got ahead at a water stop, so I started a bit of a push. I was thinking about your effort levels. Trust me when I say I was at a 10 in the last mile. I crossed the line, stopped, everything spun and they wheeled me to the medical tent. Nothing serious, just my blood pressure plummeting. When I knew I was going to make it, I started thinking about getting on here to let you know since you've encouraged me often when I've commented. Thanks for all you do. I'll keep viewing every video.

Having had a long time off since Chicago 2022, I'm now into Week 12 of your plan. The easy (Zone 2) sessions are still a brisk walk with an occasional jog. The HG session is 2 x 10 banded exercises, and the LB is 2 x 10 with 5kg. I intend to keep the faith, but it requires a lot of self-discipline. The doubt is whether I'm comfortably on target of below 6 hours for a marathon in April 2025.

Hi Ryan, I've personally never felt that and not sure I've heard it from any of my athletes before either. Did you do any different strength training that week or anything else you could have done that caused it? How are you feeling now with your marathon 1.5 weeks out?
@RyanHarney10 күн бұрын
thanks for your reply. I am feeling fine but for a few days I continued to feel that pressure. I am doing three Hansons beginner plan, which is higher mileage, my first time doing this type of plan. They have you go up to 16 miles a few times as peak long run, but since my peak week was over 60miles I decided to up it and do 18. I think my mistake might have been that I did the run at a faster pace, as I was using the run as a ‘simulator’, targeting 3:45, and my overall pace for the workout ended up being 8:33 unintentionally, which had some miles slower at long run pace and some at race pace/faster based on the hills near me. This chest tightness only appeared the last few miles at around 16, when I started a pickup. I now wish I had not done that as my mental is thrown off… aside from that Richmond looks to have great weather in the forecast 😊

When I am in pain during a race, I remind myself that all the racers are in pain. This somehow makes me feel that the pain is okay and personally acceptable. Shared pain is more bearable knowing you are not alone.
