It All Comes Back to Number One (5 Keys to Marathon Training Success)

[@merlabel1253]

After a hard run, I take off my ball cap and wave it to an imaginary stadium full of people cheering my effort. It sounds weird but its really satisfying since I run solo 95% of the time.

[@runningwithjane]

That's amazing! So much to be proud of.

Legend!

[@sarahkirkpatrick1485]

I love that!

[@gudboyngdisyerto]

before the end of speedwork or long run, i imagine passing kipchoge and announcers getting so hyped. in reality though in the marathon he covers a mile the same time i cover a km 😂

[@OmaRuns67]

Absolutely beautiful testimony Regina. Thank you for sharing 🙏❤

[@mayadethabrew-hutton4342]

Thanks for the great advice 👍🏽 The mental component is so important, especially on long runs. 'Run the mile you're in' is one I find really helpful (from one of your other videos), and just having an encouraging, positive inner voice rather than a critical one.

[@runningwithjane]

Definitely agree! We put so much pressure on ourselves sometimes and it's really not helpful. Being realistic and managing expectations is often important, but I also don't think we give ourselves enough credit!

[@WorldT]

good advice and yes it all comes back at you when the formula changes or don't do things as planned, thanks on this amazing information on marathons,

[@runningwithjane]

You're so welcome!

[@carina9629]

Thank you so much for putting captions on screen. I HIGHLY appreciate that :)

[@runningwithjane]

You are so welcome!! The feedback is helpful as this was something new I did.

[@susaville]

Thank you so much for this video. It's exactly what I needed to hear. ❤ I'm not training for a marathon, just trying to get back in shape and run again because it's something I love. I really struggle with the being positive part.

[@runningwithjane]

I'm so glad you found it helpful for where you're at in your journey!! Don't be hard on yourself and be proud of what you're accomplishing!

[@Hacknerspeaks8938]

As always, great advice at just the right time. I was not looking forward to my long run today, but now I’m ready to get out there. Comparing my running schedule to my work meeting schedule really helped. Thank you!

[@ArcaneSpells]

Ditto!

[@runningwithjane]

I'm glad to hear that resonated with you and great job getting out there. You'll feel so good when it's checked off. Hope it went well!

[@NomadicNine]

"It all comes back to No.1" "Volume" ................100% agree! Everything that needs doing can be prioritised by how much it contributes to building or maintaining volume. Great Video!

[@runningwithjane]

Thanks for watching!

great timing, just coming off an unstructured summer with short races and getting ready for a marathon block, back to basics!

[@runningwithjane]

Awesome!! Summer is a perfect time for working on shorter distance speed. Yay for getting ready for your next marathon! Which one are you running?

[@landaring]

@@runningwithjane just a small local one, 10 flat loops in November 😵‍💫

[@ryan8488]

Thanks for these tips. Bed is very comfortable at 5:00 in winter

[@runningwithjane]

[@kristybearden1058]

Is there a percentage you should cut back on your mileage during the “cut back” week?

[@runningwithjane]

I typically do around 20-25% for my athletes, but sometimes more is necessary. Especially if they are touching higher volumes for the first time.

[@rtimbr64]

All excellent tips. Thanks!

[@runningwithjane]

So glad you found it helpful!
