60 years old, from the States, and running my first ever marathon in Frankfurt (Mom's home town) in 5 weeks. I've been following my Ben Parkes training plan. Yesterday's 20 miler was tough but I'm getting it done. When I finish I'm guaranteed a PB.

I ran my first marathon when I turned 60 (62 now and mostly run mountain ultras). Although I had practiced drinking from small cups while on the run (like famous KZbinrs do), during the race I just splashed water into my face. Needless to say, I became dehydrated toward the end of the race and cramped. I now go to the far end of the water table and just slow down or fast walk. I'll take two cups if I don't think I'm getting enough water. The other thing I have to (still) watch for is my "survival brain" trying to get me to stop. I got tripped up by this at NYC last year and slowed down too much when I got to First Ave (about 16 miles). Although I picked up the pace near the end of the race, I ended up hitting the finish with energy to spare. Your training should be your guide on expectation, not your brain. Don't give into it. Have a great race!

Don’t always trust the pacer! I’ve run multiple races where the pacer went out much faster than the pace they were expected to run. Have the self control to trust your pace.

@brianmessemer2973 3 ай бұрын

Wow, that’s a good one, very unprofessional by the pacer - that’s literally their job to run the pace they claim to be pacing. Geez.

@thomasangermeier8822 3 ай бұрын

I wanted to post the exact same Thing! A lot of people suggest using the Pacer but after last race we spoke in our running club about that topic. Both in Marathon and Half there where Pacer way to fast. For us in the club, the experience is more that a good pacer is the exception... I really wonder if that is a "German problem" or if that is something normal. Maybe Ben can use his network to start a survey?

I've had the opposite, where the pacer was too slow. I stayed with them for a bit but had leave them behind

even if the pacer holds pace dont follow them. You need to be running downhill faster, take it slower on the uphill

@thomasangermeier8822 3 ай бұрын

@Mike0 but that is exactly the job of a pacer, to count that in. Everybody can just run a exact pace on a flat course, the pacer should know the hills and how to counter them.

With your training program, I managed to finish in 3 hours 45 minutes with negative splits for the last 7k at around 4:54/km. I want to say huge THANK YOU for everything you do, for the knowledge you share, for the programs you offer. You’re incredibly motivating and inspiring person. You should never forget that you’re literally changing the lives of thousands for the better❤️

Great video Ben. I did break the cardinal rule one year at Houston. On my last two long runs before the marathon, my shoes suddenly started to hurt my ankles to the point of making me walk the last several miles. Bought a pair of new shoes at the expo and had a great marathon. Very lucky, certainly not recommending it, just had nothing to lose. Don’t think I violated any of the other tips you discussed. Thanks.

Ran Sydney last week. I was on the waiting list, so my wave was group F, the final wave. You are correct about starting at the back and weaving. I ran at 4.56km according to my watch, but finished in 3.31, because of the extra distance I ran. It's still 47 mins faster than last year. Realised also that I don't need a drink at every water station, so that improved my time for marathon number 2.

I can relate to bad weather on race day. I did the GNR this year and it was lashing down throughout, actually done the run just fine, but didn’t have a change of clothes afterwards. Ended up with hypothermia, passing out twice and vomiting whilst unconscious because I walked to South Shields metro, which is an absolute trek from the finish. So anyone reading this, take a change of clothes for afterwards, regardless of the weather!

All great advice Ben. I have been running marathons since 1986 and have made all of the mistakes, at least once. (slow learner😆). The one I continue to struggle with is pre-race and race fueling and getting the fluids, in particular, dialed in just right especially as I have aged and gotten slower. Always an adventure.

I am going to run my first one on sunday and I am super hyped. Really, we are all just there to celebrate our months of training before 🥳 (ofc unless you're insanely ambitious and keep wanting to shave off minutes from your PB) but still, be insanely proud of yourself, even with a prior injury you were able to complete the race!

The running watch can also contribute to the risk of starting too fast. My watch predicts a time that is maybe as much as 10 to 15 minutes faster than what I can probably run. On the one hand, you know you have to start sensibly, on the other hand, if the watch 'thinks' I can do it, maybe I should give it a try anyway..?

I just recently completed my first official 10K race. I tend to do my training runs first thing in the morning and in a fasted state. The morning of the race I woke up super early, so I decided to drink some smoothies (yes, more than one). I drove to the race, and by the time I parked I was in emergency mode. The start/finish line of the race was about 15 minutes from where I parked, there was NO WAY I was going to make it there before before hitting the bathroom. It was early in the morning, and I was crossing through a college campus. All of the buildings were closed. Thankfully for me, some fellow students had some kind of athletic event going on that morning and I managed to flag them down to let me in to the facility. I almost didn't even make it to the race.

Nagging issues is a thing NOT TO IGNORE! and deserves a place in this list. Ran my first marathon 3 weeks ago and got a small pebble in my shoe. Decided to have a short stop to pick it out. Worth it! Also, if nature calls, GO! Personally, thinking of the need to go and the energy used on the thought and preassure takes away far to much energy from the actuall running. (you also getting lighter!!) That's also why having a pace plan is key if you have a time goal. Slowly build a small gap so this sort of things doesn't ruin your run! BTW! Ran with the shorty running cap. Best running cap ever! (for me) Thanks!

Just must have been everything going right that day.

One thing I'm not sure Ben mentioned: Know the course/Go off HR or effort, not necessarily pace. This is a 2 for one. At my first Marathon in Arizona I didn't pay attention to the course profile before the race and realized way too late the first half was basically all uphill. I tried to hold my goal pace of 7:15 which forced me into Half Marathon effort so I was totally ruined by mile 15 :)

My wife ran her first marathon last year and I ran with her to help pace. Goal was to break 4 hours. We were spot on until mile 20 but she hit a wall. We agreed it was okay to walk. But we set a goal to run 4 minutes and walk 30 seconds for the next 6 miles. We didn’t break 4 but at her age she still ran fast enough to qualify for Chicago. There’s no shame in walking but we found it helpful to put limits on how long we’d ease off the gas pedal.

I've been experimenting with different fueling methods. Gels, flapjack, bars, chews, andy thingys, just seeing what works and what doesn't. Didn't really need to worry about fueling when I was only doing 5-6km max per run. Now I'm doing 10km regularly during training so definitely need the fuel. So far GU and TorQ have been great. Tried cliff bars but I found the packaging kinda tricky to get into while running. Chews I need to slow down to a walk to use properly so they would be better for distances where you would be slowing down. All in all so far the experimenting has been going well, haven't found anything I've had to write completely off as an option yet. Though there is a fair number of products and brands i haven't gotten around to trying.
