Ep.12 Berlin 2024 | Running a Sub 2 Hour 30 Marathon

Time to put the training to the test. I set myself a goal of hitting a sub 2 hour 30 minute marathon time months ago, everybody thought I was mad, so did I to a degree but I knew if I put the work in I could give it my best effort. Hard work, reap the rewards.
Was great to be running Berlin Marathon alongside the 247 Represent crew, George Heaton, William Goodge and Ross McKay. We lead a 5K shakeout run before with a pop up store, thanks to everyone who turned up and supported! What challenge is next?

[@aaron.whittingham]

Incredible time, Proved everyone that doubted you 2 months ago wrong by an absolute mile, Massive Insparation. Look forward to whats next. NO 1 ATHLETE IN THE WORLD RIGHT HERE 🔥🌍

[@JakeDearden]

thank you bro!

[@yi8031]

Had a goosebumps when you said, that a lot of people thought you can't do Ran my first marathon on September 29 in Warsaw. First ever run was in the middle of January 2024, oficiall time is 3:29. You guys was my big inspiration. Keep going man!

[@JakeDearden]

Love this!

[@duhai1836]

UNREAL! Anyone who isn't familiar with that 3:30/km pace needs to run it for just one kilometer! Thanks for sharing and all the best for Amsterdam.

[@JakeDearden]

Thank you!

[@tipy959]

3:30 pace is absolutely shifting! Even if you could just hold that for a 10K, you'd probably be in the top 1 or 2% of runners in the UK!

[@duhai1836]

@@tipy959 Yes, let's just ballpark it at Top 10% for 1k and Top 1% for 10k

Team on Top.

Been waiting for this drop all week. Absolute inspirational stuff Jake! Amazing that you'll be in Amsterdam this weekend as well. We are all routing for you. We know you'll give it your best, even 10 days after a PB marathon. Smashed Cape Town, Berlin, and you'll absolutely smash Amsterdam! Hopefully, we'll catch you in Birmingham as well. ❤🎉

Absolutely class Jake, well done, best upload to date 💪🏼 like a movie 🍿

[@kamilrosinski2042]

As an amateur fitness enthusiast, having trained for 10 years, I am now convinced you’re not human 😂 This guy beats his Hyrox PR a week or so before getting a sub 2:30 fucking marathon time. Show me another Hyrox champ that’s done that. You are one of the most impressive hybrid athletes out there. Hopefully more success comes your way man.

[@darrenmee9753]

Worth watching just for the stretch at 05:25 to 05:35! Has finally unlocked my hips. Awesome content. Awesome performances Jake. 💪

[@GriffRuns]

Way to go bro 👏. Love to see it. I’ve had the same thing: a handful of people commenting that my goal “isn’t possible.” That shot of you with the beer is the icing on the cake. Manifesting that for myself

[@steveabbott1026]

Amazing result Jake. We knew you could sustain that power from day 1! Proved the doubters wrong! On to the next 💪🙌

[@samwads91]

Absolutely fucking smashed it. That's what you say to the doubters! Can I also say how incredible it is to see such a great group of people coming together to better themselves. Inspiring! I'll be at Manchester marathon next April aiming for a sub 3hr, let's go!

Mate, unreal! I’ve only just managed a 5k at 3.33/km pace… so 3.30/km is completely unfathomable to me! 😅 Well played! Will be on Team Dearden for Amsterdam tomorrow 💪😎

Whens the EPO session?

[@HM-qe9pd]

Are these hyrox lads on the sauce? Assume EPO and a nice therapeutic trt dose like our man Nick Bare. Can’t fathom doing a 2:28 marathon not fully training and then doing hyrox worlds only 10 days after. Shame hyrox will turn into CrossFit in terms of gear usage. Fair play though to this lad, epic work and can’t get anywhere without working your ass off

[@peterledrew2556]

The pro division is supposed to be implementing drug testing for the top finishers this year. I hope it deters and works to clean it up. I don't think the allow medical 'therapeutic' exemptions for TRT either. I know what you say about Nick though! I hope for a fair sport for all because some people have all the $$ and the best of everything working for them.

[@benpaul9211]

Apparently the top athletes are against drug testing. That says all you need to know.

Go onto any professional pace calculator/convertor, put in his new marathon PB, it will convert it to and equivalent 5/10k and half marathon time. All are miles quicker than the 10k and half marathon pbs he claimed.

@@whals8299 if your pb maximum best effort you can run a 34 minute 10k (3:24per kilometre). Its not limiting, its PHYSICALLY IMPOSSIBLE to then run 3:30per kilometre for 42k. Hence why im claiming his claimed pbs obviously wasnt accurate.
