40K Long Run with Nell Rojas | 3 Weeks out from Indy Marathon

In this episode, Luis and Nell take on a 40K Long Run, 3 weeks out from their races. Luis is racing the Indy Monumental Marathon Nov 5 and Nell is racing NYC Nov 6.
They discuss their progressive training strategy, where social media and real life intersect, and struggles with the marathon. Luis has been training hard for a marathon PR, which could also be the Venezuelan National Record, a goal he has been working on since he started running. It's been elusive though, despite consistent training and great workouts, he's been struggling to put it all together on race day.

I am 33 years old, height 180cm, weight 95kg, I train to run with the goal of a marathon. In 6 months the international marathon will be 21km 42km and different distances. I run 15 km in 1 hour 50 minutes this is a training run. I'm going to start my interval run soon. I am overweight, I need to lose weight at least 15 kg by 95 kg. 180 cm 95 kg is a lot I think 80 kg is the best option I will try to run a 42 km marathon in 2 hours 10 minutes in any way I need to quietly train more and more. I wish you good health and great success Greetings from Central Asia🇰🇬🤝

Increíble esos ritmos que mantienes, se ven tan cómodos!!! Felicidades por poner tanto esfuerzo para conseguir sus objetivos; sólo como dice tu coach Luis, solo relájate en lo posible mientras correr porque estás listo para romper tus marcas, confía en todo lo que entrenaste y siéntete como un Keniata; estas listo para volar. Agradable correr al lado de tremenda campeona y bonita por demás!!! Éxito para ustedes.

[@JoshL84]

Indy is a great course. Definitely easy to go out too fast with some of the declines. The only time I negative split a marathon was about 5 minutes in Chicago this year. The problem is I felt like I left a lot of time out there because of the first half being too slow and second being faster. Definitely underestimated the fitness but finished feeling good. Had some regret about being able to more after.

[@ortaluis]

I will try to be very smart and patient, I know is the right way to do it!

Hey Luis! Thank you for all your excellent videos and encouraging words! Question, what would you recommend for a coming back runner like myself who has not been out to run for over a year?

[@ortaluis]

Start very easy, 15 - 20 minute runs the first week, then bring it up to 30 - 40 minutes and so on, no pressure and try to enjoy the runs as much as you can!

Hello Luis, are you a coach of Kenyan runners?

Hi! I am not, When I go to Kenya some of them are my athlete's pacers as well as mine and many others are also friends. Thank you your support

[@fabiociccio7956]

Do you stretch after your workouts?

[@ortaluis]

Yes! 10-15 minutes to cool the body down

[@fearlab]

Isnt this too long of a long run? Everything I've read/researched says you should not run more than 21 miles and not all the way at race pace-the recovery and effect will be detrimental to your race marathon?

[@kevinvantroyen]

That doesn't count for elite athletes

[@ortaluis]

Good question, it depends a lot on the person, their goals, their paces.. there is a lot of factors that matter here! For me 40k is long yes, but doable and I recover quick! I got to 40k by doing 35k progressive + cool down and warm up. For the athletes that I coach I make them run 3 hours max or about 20 miles or so (32k)
