Full Week of Marathon training- Valencia Ep. 3

[@lorenzoquirante8685]

A fire that cant be stoked 😭

[@AdamWoodRuns]

It was EARLY 💀

[@MaverickWood]

i was looking for this comment 😂

[@DerekTThomas]

This last weekend, I finished my first ever marathon in Columbus, OH. My wife and I enjoy watching your videos. We love how down to Earth you are. On days that I really struggle with motivation to get after it on my runs, your videos help kick me into gear!

[@Jenskov]

Idk if you'll read this or not, but I really like the SIS gels for my long runs and races. Pretty good flavors and not thick at all

[@AdamWoodRuns]

For sure giving it a try 🙏🏼

[@marcusszavaleta]

@@AdamWoodRunsdef more of a watery feeling, good for races where you’re not getting ur own bottles and what not

[@weston.mosburg]

The best 🤌

[@tommynufer316]

It started with Team Wood, then it was Wood Gang. Now it’s something more than that: the Wood Family

[@mikeleon3128]

I'm going for Sub 3 at the Inaugural Las Vegas Marathon on November 3rd. Also in that overthinking phase at the moment, just taking it day by day. 21 miles on deck tomorrow 💪

[@Marybeth-q1m]

You're one of my favorite runners you're so inspirational

[@melindayelverton]

Great video!!! I love how you show EVERYTHING that you gp through during your training. I have a 100K ultra-marathon in less than 2 weeks. Watching your videos inspires me. Keep up the good work Adam!!

[@vejtasa_runs]

I’ve gone from shin splints to plantar fasciitis back to shin splints in the past few months but your content and seeing how well you’re doing is really encouraging and helps me remember that having a positive outlook is the most important thing I can do. You’re gonna crush your PR in December!

[@365Wedge]

I've been loving the SiS isotonic gels. They are super easy to get down and not thick or syrupy at all.

[@annievale1918]

yours and Mica's channels are my favourite. You two motivate me to run soo much

[@bryanobarr2857]

I love the “I’m locked in year round…that’s probably the dumbest thing I’ve ever said.” And then the “I liked it.” 😊

[@AndMattWill]

Science in Sport Gels has been ones that works for me, not too sweet and sit nicely in my stomach.

[@MuseFoxs]

These weekly vlog type videos are really hitting, keep them coming! 🔥 Super stoked for that merch, will definitely have to get some. Please do EU shipping 😊🙏

[@BigMummyLongLegs]

It's so great how much of an insight you give into the relentlessly optimistic psychology of someone performing as well as you do.

[@YAQINBYALLMEANS]

I have my first ever half marathon run coming up in December which is the longest distance race I have ever done! You are one of the people that I watch for inspiration thank you Adam!

[@blainmasterson3053]

2:39 marathon debut this month! Your videos have been a fun watch during. Rotated between Maurten and BPN gels during- no gut issues. The BPN are really just those applesauce packets. Not syrupy, whole food based. Might be worth a shot!

[@AdamWoodRuns]

Nice job! And thank you :)

[@Dragonart5496]

I’m training for my first half marathon and I’ve been using the SIS gels which have some good flavors.

[@AdamWoodRuns]

Gonna give SIS a try for sure

[@nikoloff]

Valencia - 2:14:41 . You heard it here first.

[@AdamWoodRuns]

😮‍💨

[@Youngberries]

2:14:40

[@marisabele6493]

I do not know if you have High5 gels(made in UK), but my best marathon run's under 2:30 are with them. Not as thick as maurten or sis, 60ml already mixed with water. I also hope to run in Valencia, the main thing now is to stay healthy 😉

[@ElizabethSmith-bf7rf]

Fire content🔥. Keep up the grind, fitness going 📈

[@vranichavez8599]

New to your channel. I appreciate the great content, your vibe and mostly the inspiration that you give me to be better at running. Keep grinding as you are and that marathon will be an ez pb

[@KianaWood23]

Good Job Bro!! Keep on training and running so proud of you 😊

[@elijahholmes7153]

try BPN gels maybe? they sit well with me

[@Keysladd]

Precision hydration gels are awesome

[@Persistence_run_444]

Loved the video. I have a 50 miler on Friday!

[@AdamWoodRuns]

Good luck!

[@spencergmajor]

Not running anywhere near your paces, but I had the same struggles with nutrition. Made the switch to Precision Fuel & Hydration - made a huge difference. 30G carbs, no artificial sweet taste, goes down well without water.

[@corereactionpilateshsv]

Precision fuel. Thinner, light flavor and they have pouches with 90g of carbs 👍

[@sierrawood3751]

You got this Adam

[@TabithaSleap-f9q]

Precision fuel & hydration - fit the bill

[@JRuns5987]

Never be dissapointed when u run a PB bruv...u have put in the work and it will happen hopefully next one...that's racing and especially the 42.2km Embrace the PB ✌️

[@Martinplss]

hyped for the merch

[@danielarak]

Please remember about booking hotel and restaurants upfront in Valencia. On the marathon weekend everything is packed!

[@regivb]

Happy to follow the process. I will be in Valencia too. Preparation was going well, fitness was coming fast. Unfortunately I was involved in a car accident and won’t be able to race. Since I book plane & hotel I will still go. Hope we cross paths there. All the best.

[@MadalynV]

First half marathon coming up in a few weeks! Thank you and Mica for being an inspiration!!☺️

[@melkohn6214]

Under cooked makes sense. Go for it. Mica...designer purse? Sounds good but the best running shoes for Adam sounds even better. Super video...thanks.

[@vayfn]

my favorite gels that i have tried so far are the BPN Go Gels. They taste really good and they aren't thick, ive had runs before where I dont have water near me but I need to pop one and I feel perfectly fine, maybe try giving them a shot. They are pretty thin and have about 23 carbs each I believe.

[@Arr-runz]

LETS GOOO!!! Adam wood posted 🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@incjam5]

Winter arc - nah Adam arc 🤯

[@vanessamartinez4917]

Good luck at Valencia! I like the UCan gels, but they are lower in carbs. I’ve seen the ads for the Crank Sports e gels, 30 grams of carbs. I might try those out. Or maybe the precision fuel ones. Good luck with the gels. Fueling is challenging. I recently tried adding dates to the end of my long runs. They’re small and loaded with carbs, but they also bring fiber to the party. 😂🏃🏻‍♀️👟

[@eddiegaul1903]

Well done on your training. One of the things I love about your channel is all the places in the SLC Valley you run. I've raced / run plenty of times in Riverton there. Hopefully one day you guys come out to the Murray area of the JRT and do some filming. I've seen a few elite runners along there over the years and I am a regular. Winchester Park is the place to park and set up base (they have bathrooms there as well). As far as gels go, I've always like GU but I sense they are a bit tough on the stomach for most people. Tailwind is my go to drink that is a solid replacement for the gels.

[@jm33855]

I really like the BPN gels they also added a caffeinated version so I alternate a regular with a caffeinated on my runs

[@k07-]

I would also recommend trying the BPN gel since you’re in the US. Furthermore you can try the SIS gels, as they are less sweet but still have a good consistency

[@blitzkrieg9676]

one of my current favorites is the precision fuel gels. they're 30g carb/gel but they're still not too much volume and they sit in my stomach with no issues. however, im slow and in the middle of ultra training so they might behave different for you under fast marathon training but i would still say give them a shot.

[@AdamWoodRuns]

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@michaelzeuner1746]

I just won my first race, Stick n’ Stones 26km trail race. This is three weeks out from my marathon where my goal is to run sub 3. I’ll be running Road to Hope on Nov 3rd.

[@jacobreeves7044]

I’m like you where I can’t do the syrup-y gels like GU. Real good gels like Spring go down easy. Problem is they are often super expensive. Try the BPN Go Gel. I’ve loved them lately. I like the apple cinnamon one.

[@homeroochoa47]

I’ve been really liking the raspberry and strawberry Muir gels from REI. They’re basically dehydrated fruit and they go down easy + don’t give me stomach issues

[@shaggy363]

I really like precision fuel at 30g a pop. Another good one is SIS beta fuel (nuetral flavor) at 40g per pop. David Roache takes both and just broke the Leadville 100 mile record. He was consuming 120g, so your 70-80g/hr should be fine. Good luck in finding something that works for you.

[@Marty-v6c]

Adam, if those gels are only 16g carbs, you could try an apple sauce packet. It isn't syrupy and it has 14g-16g carbs depending on the brand.

[@Nothingtoseehair]

Bro, winter arc is a thing for sure haha you just need to switch the type of content that pops up in your FYP page. Instead of more push up type body bros, you need more endurance athletes in your feed xD

[@connorgold3954]

Sis gels (science in sport) were my life saver my last marathon

[@tangbfft2627]

thanks for translating miles per hours in km/h for your fellow european suscribers 🙏

[@iamsyedimran]

Whats your PB for marathon, and btw what is your age if you dont mind answering, thanks, btw luv your vidoes man keep it up❤

[@AdamWoodRuns]

2:18:37 and I’m 25 🫡 thanks for watching and supporting 🙏🏼

[@iamsyedimran]

@@AdamWoodRuns what age did you start? I am going to turn 25 in a few months and I feel I am too old to start running marathon competivtely and that it takes years to reach the elite level, any advice on that?

[@MrFartFace]

​@iamsyedimran never say your too old, you'll never know if you never try! 🫡

[@onlybilly03]

@@iamsyedimranyou are never too old to start running. My coach started running when he was 25 and now he runs a 31-minute 10km

[@iamsyedimran]

@@onlybilly03 really, that's awesome man, that gives me confidence, but how many years did it take him to reach that level?

[@coblerb1]

Just ran Sydney marathon as my first marathon in 3:16 and then ran St. George Marathon 3 weeks later in 3:14😊

[@frankcallaghan2791]

You should look at Precision Nutrition & Hydration! Their gels are really easy on the palate and the stomach, not very sweet, they’re 30g of carbs and they also have a 90g carb large gel with a squeeze top so you can run with it in your hand and have a third at a time

[@willmarklew9612]

You should try Kendal Mint Co gels, they are really gentle on the stomach. Fordy Runs here in the UK is a big advocate.

[@SpencerMahon]

You can try Neversecond, SiS or the Precision Fuel and Hydration "flow gel"

[@AG_UofT]

UCAN's gel package is unnecessarily wide but only gives 20 g of carbs. My go to is SIS Beta Orange 100%. Liquidity and easy to get down. Tasty. And has 40g of carbs. And half the price of Maurten Gel 160 yet offer the same g of carbs

[@ElijahHerringtonXC]

Love your videos dude, great work 💪🏽

[@aceconfetti]

Funny. Never heard of winter arc before but damn I’m familiar with it lmfao. I described winter arc to my therapist and they said it’s actually called dissociating. Weird ps ur great. Cheers from Iowa

[@brooklyn_19489]

love this vid!! if you don’t mind me asking why are you lane 8 for your 1k repeats? also do you have any tips for a cross country race for a 4k? 😊

[@beaherrun]

Try Sport in science beta fuel, with some tailwind nutrition endurance fuel Thanks for sharing your joyful! Truly inspiring

[@lexington476]

7:09 I've never even heard the term winter Arc before... But I guess I do it myself without knowing the term. this winter I want to upgrade my amateur radio license to General class, and be working on my core strength and cycling fitness 🙂.

[@gkeil25]

You should try bare performance nutrition gels. They go down good. They have 24g of carbs.

[@austincruz4198]

Madison Marathon in Wisconsin November 10th, going for sub 2:45🔥

[@AdamWoodRuns]

Let’s go 🙏🏼

[@kerricappy4890]

Try precision gels. Maurten also made me nauseated but precision sit well and have 30gm of carbs.

[@runstephrunXX]

I like the SIS gels the best!

[@mikeleon3128]

You know it's going to be a good video when theres a "ya know" 2 seconds in 😎 👍

[@NickFrahm]

Outro song is fire

[@gagu1nho]

I'm using 226ers High Fructose Gel, pretty good, 55 CH, it would be like, 3 gels.

[@chillwithash]

I hate bug spray, but I've found citronella bracelets that I wear on my ankle when I do longer runs. Saw the concern about west nile.

[@Rafe63]

cant wait to see the "running with wood" merch 😂

[@dorianrodriguez6832]

W video as always Adam ! Just in time for dinner !

[@zachczerniak]

You should try the science and sport gels. I also have a tough time with not feeling sick and those have been a blessing

[@raphaelclaveau4676]

Hey Adam! You should try Neversecond gels, really good 👌 cheers

[@watermelonking]

What are your favorite supershoes? Btw awsome vid as always man 🔥

[@DanielKendall2010]

What’s ur current marathoner pb, and what are goals for Valencia?

[@AdamWoodRuns]

2:18.37! I would love to PB, not sure what pace exactly I’ll go out in yet but I’ll have a more specific goal once we get closer 🙏🏼

[@Mr_Fairdale]

I've been using carbsfuel. 50g and sip on it over a 10 or 15 mins.

[@77chrisjd]

Was going to recommend SIS as others have said but also precision hydration. Also wondering if you have had a metabolic test lately seeing how much carbs vs fat your burning? Don't know if that would help but might help answer some questions. Can't wait to see what you do a Valencia.

[@thirt22n]

Have you tried precision for gels? Texture sounds like what you're looking for and they have 90g pouches

[@dalexander3136]

12:00 while we obviously love the content don’t sacrifice your education or sleep for us! We can wait a day or two extra ❤

ADAM POST

[@jansenrunning]

You gotta try the SIS BETA FUEL gels man. Goes down so easy, 40g of carbs

[@kevinmclendon3047]

Warning long post on nutrition: PF 90 are great sipping gels, better consistency than gu and the like, and 90g in one larger resealable pouch. That mixed with UCAN in my bottles is what I did for Unbound 14hr bike race. Allowed me to stay @>90g/hr (i can only do 75-85g/hr running) So you could mix the long acting ucan gels with a quick hit gel for any hills, hard spots, or mental dark points. Then preferred product or on course for nutrition for drink options with additional calories to bring up that average. SIS (22g) and Victus (45g) are much more isotonic water like gels that go down easy with mild flavor. But larger size so space is a consideration though easily absorbed. At the end of the day - I recommend having more than 1 product on race day. What if your 'go-to' isn't sitting well that day or you a feeling a little different at the moment. I.e. all thicker and thinner consistency, and a couple caffeine gels when that wall is coming is a game changer. Caffeine gets that 2% performance improvement, works best to block fatigue once you have a fatigue. So a little in the AM pre race to get going, and then a hit again on the back half. That plus the alphas, plus bicarb, you can crush that PR! Loving the journey!

[@AdamWoodRuns]

This was extremely helpful, thank you 🙏🏼

[@helenalackner6803]

Maybe try the BPN Go Gels 😊

Yo adam idk if you’ll see but you inspire me alot and i wanna be like u and try to make a youtube and stuff i was wondering how u learned to edit and what platform for editing u started out with

[@AdamWoodRuns]

Hey! Just start, I started with CapCut and I still use it 💀. I’m self taught and learned as I went and that’s the best way to do it. Shoot first, aim second and adjust as you go :)

[@OliviaWoodruff-ps4zx]

Adam I love your vedios. I'm a subcriber. Go Adam🔥

[@sahil_edits0]

u should try the sis gels or the sis beta fuel they're well good.

[@theowalker6800]

PURE Nutrition Gels are my go to. They arn't thick and arn't as sweet as some other gels. Heaps of flavours and you can buy in bulk.

[@h1dd3n11]

keep grinding man i dont want to see anything less than your best

[@javierolavarria232]

try 22ers! their gels have 55gr i think. And its not that thick or sweet

[@Naguil2]

Are those the Alphaflys? I recently bought them and I hate them. They feel like I’m wearing heels, one of the guys my local running store said they are geared towards heel strikers and it makes sense, the shoe has a lot of stacked in the heel and I’m a midfoot striker, they recommended the asics metaspeed paris, so that’s the next shoe I’m gonna try. It’s a no for the-alpha flys for me. I need more control of the shoe and stability, they feel too off the ground for me and chunky

[@this_is_livn]

music is bussin, keep pressing fwd

[@501matt]

What half tights did you wear on the long run to carry all those gels?

[@coblerb1]

How many miles do you plan to put on your shoes before racing? How long do you think they last?

[@AdamWoodRuns]

I’ll put 1 maybe 2 workouts in them and then use them for races exclusively. Probably 1-2 marathons and a couple of road races

[@BaileyCroffordMusic]

The mango Go Gel by BPN is super smooth and thin going down. Maybe try BPN?

[@AugherAndy]

Maurten gels 🎉
