20 Mile Long Run training for a

We are now just 3 weeks out from the Boston Marathon. Today's run was the longest one of our entire training block, 20 miles. Today run had 3 major goals:
1: To be the longest run of the Boston Buildup
2: To stay relaxed in the beginning and eventually into a rhythm of 6 minute miles (or faster)
3: Build confidence that we our in fact ready to run a 2:30 marathon at Boston

Hey Elijah, awesome video! As a Canadian, I really appreciate the km/h conversions for every mile! Keep it up and good luck 🍀

[@elijahorr]

It's my pleasure! Would love to make it up there one day and hit some runs!

Was going to comment the exact same thing! Beat me to it

[@jordanbravo2258]

Amazing video, some teammates and I did a 16 miler on the same route, and saw you running. We tried to catch up but you guys were moving! Keep up the great work!

[@nberkel]

Been a while since I've seen a video of yours. Looking strong and fit man 💪

[@natureequalshappiness2605]

Love the cinematics at 4:25, good running Elijah

Just an OC runner prepping for my first marathon here to thank you for the inspiration and route ideas 🥰👏 you’re going to kick ass in Boston!!

Nice video, excellent pace💪💪

Yeah man I'm well impressed with that 👏 Class

[@luisjose6799]

Elijah your channel inspired me to run, thank you for the content, keep posting man! best of luck for Boston

[@cosmosrunner]

When I broke 2:30, I was comfrotably getting under 2 hours for 20 miles and I still found those last 6 pure pain. Good Luck!

[@RunForPeace-hk1cu]

Exactly ... he ain't cracking 2:30

[@wizardkroos1179]

What a level Elijah!! Incredible pace and preparation for Boston!!!

[@Ladiesman217-was-taken]

Amazing!! Can’t wrap my head that people run that fast for that long, did a 10k today with a 5.30/km pace… it was a struggle lol

[@fettahmehdi8661]

Stay strong ❤

[@VisualFrank]

You guys were moving!

[@tortoisewhisperer1580]

I used to run a hilly 20 mile trial about a month before running a flat marathon course, I ran 20 mile trials of 2:09 and 2:01 and each time ran the flat course marathon in 2:33. The main advice I would offer is don't go out too fast, the race begins at 20 miles. Stop and drink every 5 miles with the last drink at 20. Nothing you drink after that will get into your system fast enough to make any difference. Good luck !!

[@schenkmeister19]

Short form content is always great, but I appreciate these longer vids

[@alltimer6249]

I just did my last long run of 20 miles for the Flying Pig marathon in May. Trying to get under 4 hours, seeing this pace is just absolute beast mode.

[@xeno527]

Sunday was my birthday and I turned 21! Celebrated with a 21 mile run. Thank you for inspiring me with ur channel! Sub 2:30 ready baby.

[@elijahorr]

Ayy Happy Birthday! Starting off 21 the right way!

[@jamesgogur1678]

Awesome long run. My boy is ready for a 2:30!

[@elijahorr]

We're ready to roll!

[@jassaljs]

Good morning from India! Looks like the LA piers? I have run there during my visit and before Covid💕

[@denisa3104]

3:32/km for cool-down! I wish I could 😂🔥👍

[@mtldragon9860]

I'm a bit skeptical about a 2:30 marathon goal with that workout. However, you know your body best, and I'll be keeping an eye out for you to prove me wrong.

[@jimwaxer8166]

That is a very good progressive increase the pace training run to prepare for a marathon. If you were doing a marathon like a flat course like Chicago you would be very prepared with that type of run. For Boston it might have been beneficial to include some downhills and rolling hills and increase the effort in the later miles. There is a good spots in Irvine you can do this. One spot you can start at the Turtle Rock Nature Center and run down RidgeLine along the freeway and do the quail trail trail behind the quail hill community center to Serrano Ridge to Bommer ridge Trail and then drop into Bommer Canyon and add some miles on the shady canyon trail If you wanted to add miles. Or you can do an out and back on the quail hill trail behind the quail hill community center and then and then up shady canyon trail back to the Turtle Rock Nature Center. There are plenty of other options in Irvine, laguna, laguna Niguel newport coast areas to do rolling hills runs to prepare for Boston. I know I need to get my legs used to the hills especially the downhills but was never as fast as you so who knows.

[@physicsanimated1623]

I love your videos. Watch out Boston, Elijah is gonna smoke you! 💯

Big things Ahead!!

[@physicsanimated1623]

@@elijahorr YES SIR!! Waiting for your post-Boston celebration video! But seriously dude, your videos are a big inspiration!

[@cicirunner]

Great workout for sure but it begs the question.....What gives you the confidence to run 2:30 when the only miles you split that pace were the last few miles of this 18 mile long run?

[@reedgallagher315]

what are the weekley wednesday workouts?

[@kyfisher4439]

Would you be opposed to doing a paid 1hr run consult? I live in HB as well. Ran the HB full. Training for LB full currently. Thanks for the consideration 🙏🏼

[@seanwade4018]

one 20 miler for Boston prep on a flat course seems way under prepared. Not sure what your PR is or if you have run Boston at this pace before but 2:40 seems more possible if the down hills down destroy your legs. I be checking your result good luck

great work man, what shorts do u wear?

[@elijahorr]

Pretty sure I was wearing the barbell apparel shorts on this run! But really any pair that's comfortable I'll rep

What was the montage song at 4:25? Also great work you’ll dominate at Boston 💯

[@pongsatornprapanpot4046]

How many steps you take per minute? (Cadence)

[@tortoisewhisperer1580]

I'll add you need to be running a lot of hills to prepare for Boston also you need to be prepared for any type of weather, cold, heat etc as the conditions are unpredictable.

[@Noah-uf5ho]

Hey Elijah, if you don't mind me asking - Whats your fueling plan for the marathon with gels/water mid race?

[@elijahorr]

I'll probably have 5 or 6 gels and around 16-20oz of electrolyte fluids most likely!

[@Noah-uf5ho]

I thought Zach Levet stopped making videos

😂 For a second, when the dude got rid of his shirt, I thought he just dumped it on the street. 😂😂😂Then I remembered..these guys are being filmed as they run so there must be another person there. 😂😂😂😂

It’s all relative. Been doing this for 10 years and there’s dudes out there with 1/2 the experience making me look like a scrub. I just try to be better than yesterdays version of myself!

Just for reference, the Marine Corp fitness test perfect score in the run is 3 miles in 18 minutes. So this is INSANITY!

[@NorthernWind603]

I’m struggling to run a mile pace of 8 min a mile for a 1.5 mile timed run. This dude runs 20 miles at a 6 min pace and looks like he ran up a flight of stairs too fast at the end with how out of breath he is. Complete madness and sheer mind blowing

Boston training with no hills🤣. Leave the heart rate monitors at home when training for Boston.

[@RunForPeace-hk1cu]

You only ran a short amount of distance at your marathon goal pace. Doubtful you'll crack 2:30.
