Moral of the story is get a coach early. I can't tell you how nice it is to have an incredibly experienced coach just plug workouts into training peaks for me. I love nerding out on training plans but this gives you an absolutely solid foundation to start from. Good on you for keep at it.

Same here, it was 12 weeks for me for my first marathon and it was a sub3 in the first half because what is a pacing strategy right? and then I bonked and THEN while fighting to keep running at really slow speed, I somehow added an extra mile to my race. I ran 27.8 miles in 4:18. I was torn between feeling proud because I finished and pissed because I f*ked up lol

Yeah he ran a 1:35 half in the middle of a marathon. Basically he could run a 3:10 marathon with minimal training. It's not really an average to advanced progression like the title implies, it's an advanced to more advanced progression.

@AmtranikLP 4:30 is decent but it depends on gender an age. for a guy around 20-40's that's a bit slow but for a lady its definately above average for about 6 months worth of training. it also depends how good your "serious training" was This guys is definitely quite a bit above average in genetics to begin with because he was able to break 3 hours. Most runners wont hit that time even with 5+ years of consistent training. Most men max out at about 3:05-3:10

I am 51, just did my first marathon, London this year. I thought I'd get 4.40 but the lack of training and thinking I could just eat a packet of chocolate biscuits the night before and lack of seriousness I ran 5.30. I now am hooked and want to do the 6 star majors. I am giving myself 10 years to complete it and will leave Boston to last meaning I need to get down to about 3.50 by then. I will do it but it's time to get serious and train properly. Looking forward to the journey.

Still fairly new to running after an injury I came back last year wanting to get a sub 20 5k. In April 22 I was at 23 mins and change. Bought some books and started studying. Got to my goal running 19:35 in September. Then did a half marathon training block but aggravated my hamstring three weeks before the race and couldn’t recover. So then in January this year I decided to sign up to my first marathon. Edinburgh. Followed Pfitz’s advanced marathoning plan (seems logical for a first attempt!) and experimented with fueling etc. Race was last Sunday and I ran 3:06:32! Couldn’t believe it! I’ll watch more of your vids to see what I can take to try and break 3 hours. I love hearing people’s journeys and where they were to where they are. It gives me belief I can achieve things too!

Dude, this video gives me goosebumps. I started running in 2014 (I mean I literally started jogging, just played some tennis) and got into it a bit more seriously in 2015 (jogging regularly 30 min 4/5 days a week). Injuries and my work meant that I didn't progress much until I ran my first marathon in 2019 (3:41:22). Then in 2020 I started training indoor cycling at home (for obvious reasons), but in 2021 I made what I consider to be good progress in running. In 2022 I went back to running a marathon (3:24:59, huge PR for me) and I realized that by adjusting some things in 2 years, maybe I could achieve a sub 3. I am 30 days away from my next marathon (I hope to be between 3:10:00 and 3:15:00) and then in September I will go for a sub 3:10:00. Like you (although with a different level of training) I realized that after several years I think I am beginning to understand how to prepare for and run a marathon. I repeat once again, this video gave me goosebumps (and great motivation for the next 15 days of high load). Thank you. Now I'm your fan from Argentina.

Yes, I'd like to go sub-3 but I think that might be a bit too ambitious. But hey, I might surprise myself. I'll get a better idea when I'm deep into marathon training.

I love that training for a literal marathon is very much a metaphorical and emotional/spiritual marathon in itself, and that it can last for years and years as things slowly fall into place. Long distance running is something we are evolved to do! I think I ran for probably 6-7 years before I really even started to find true joy in it, but over the last 3 years I have come to love it more than anything and I'm climbing up the walls on any day I don't get at least an easy run in. Pursuing a goal like this over so many years really does reap so many rewards and benefits - massive kudos

I appreciate your feedback on your attempt to not stop until you hit your goal. For the longest I’ve had an issue with nutrition as well for the marathon. I still haven’t figured it out but seeing your video gave me hope that I can. I went from a 3:57 my first marathon to 2:59. Sucks I hit that time in July 2019 at SF Marathon and Boston didn’t happen. Went into a deep depression hole. Crawling out now and looking to get back out there. I’m starting from scratch but you’ve inspired me; truly gave me hope. I want to thank you. 2024 will be building it back up and goal to run Chicago next year 2025. I also love Chicago marathon ran it 3x. I am from NY so ran NY and it is a tough course. Living in the Bay Area now but 2025 looking to crush some goals. Would be great to chat with you if possible. Thanks again. My name is Adrian

Awesome! Congrats man. Marathon is something fun but if you want a time then you gotta put the 80/20 in. Jack Daniel’s Running Formula is full of amazing information and solid workouts.

It was so cool to see you and Casey in NYC last year. I Just signed up for CIM for my first marathon ever this december 2023, but seeing yall out there just motivated me hella and I want to hit that bucket list like you did in 2017.

Fantastic video! Probably the best I've seen on running! Thanks for making it. I look forward to learning from your journey as I try to figure out how to get sub-3 in my 50s after a PR of 3:45 in my 30s 😊

This has so many relatable experiences... Thank you for sharing! Hopefully applying a lot of learned things to break 3 in Chicago this year... It'll be my 7th marathon and I started about two years ago. Thx again 👍👊

This is awesome! As a full-time filmmaker and former professional athlete, I find this very inspiring. Speed skating was my sport (not the best for running) and now I have decided to do a marathon in October. Thought it would be cool to document my journey and will def use your channel for inspiration. Both in terms of the documenting part and the training part!

You're a very talented storyteller and not too bad of a runner either ;) I bombed my first two marathons too, almost beyond belief. Redemption is a long road and I am pacing myself accordingly.

Indeed, everyone is unique. My Olympian coach from the Netherlands told me that it takes 10 years to become the best version of yourself, but your story proves it took only 5 years."

I just finished my 3rd Cleveland Marathon Challenge Series (10km on Sat/Full on Sun) with two new PR's but missed my 3:59 goal by 14 min and hit the wall HARD. This video really helped me reflect on my race and makes me determined to come back next year even stronger!

Stubbled across your site and loved it. Really great content - thanks for sharing. I'm on the journey too... 4:36:54 NYC 2015 to 3:19:37 in 2021... Had a few years of going backwards hovering just around sub 3:30 but focus this year is sub 3:15 in Berlin 2024. Nursing a hamstring niggle currently, so my 3rd Boston is looking a challenge in 6 weeks time, but this video just reminded me why I love this game!

Thoroughly enjoying your videos, Eric. I love the planned / unplanned approach. It’s reassuring to know I’m not the only one! 🙌🏻 I ran Boston this year, my first in the States. I hope you run it, you won’t regret it 🇺🇸 🔵🟡

Nice video Eric, thanks for sharing. Have a similar story as my daughter and I started running marathons. We [daughter and I] ran Grandma's 2022, loved the day we had and also achieved a PR's and BQ's. Not quite your, Kofuzi and Ben's speed, but for a 64yr. old, feel i did pretty well with a sub 3:30 for my 5th Marathon. Chasing the 6 star and maybe will run into you one day. Next up for me, Berlin in September.

Great video and solid information. I ran Boston this year and then London 6 days later with a 75 second difference in finishing times. I started running about 6 years ago ago at the age of 57 and it has been a fun journey with a lot of learning about myself and what works. 👍🏼
