Marathon Training for Beginners | 3 Survival Tips!

[@artpena72]

Love these videos. I've run quite a few half marathons and 5k and 10k, and on the long runs i usually finished quite sore, or sometimes in pain. After watching these i ran the SD half marathon yesterday without any injury or pain, reducing my overall time by about 20 minutes, and actually finished the last mile sprinting, thanks a lot for all your time on these videos.

"Honor the distance" is a nice quote to get a tattoo from it. "Fix your problems" is also a super nice advice.

[@k.embers]

“As in life, a marathon is too long for nothing to go wrong, both in the race itself and the process of getting to the starting line. WHEN things go wrong, do you have the experience, knowledge, resources, and attitude to deal, manage, or cope?” - loosely paraphrased and added onto Coach Nate’s amazing inspo nugget thrown in there at ~5:50 like it wasn’t awesome advice! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 Cue the mic drop!

[@tomlagesse6635]

I just completed my first half in Nashville this past weekend. I haven't run since Army Basic Training, and I have no idea how far we used to run then. But back then, 30 some odd years ago, I could run my two mile PT test in 10:30! At 51, I know I will never be that fast again. I started running this past January with the goal of doing the half as a celebration of losing over 110 pounds. Yeah, I let myself go. Still, old habits of being lazy lead to intermittent training, which lead to shin splints. My longest run was nearly eight miles three weeks prior to the main event. I didn't run any the entire time during my recovery, and ONLY after I got permission from my doctor to run. The day of my race, I was able to run the hills of Nashville for a full six miles before having to do interval running. From there, I ran out of gas at mile 10 and had to start walking. I tried running again, but my calves started knotting up bad, as well as the inside of my left knee. So, I walked three miles, but was determined to run the final tenth of a mile, and be running as I crossed over the finish. Today, two days later, I am a bundle of pain in both legs, and surprisingly, my biceps. I jokingly refer to it that I have lower body rigor mortis.... I was that stiff yesterday. After all that, I have signed up for a FULL marathon in December in Memphis, and another half in April 2020, back in Nashville. I would love to have more of a long-term program to prepare for the FULL and have more confidence in my ability to complete it than if I did it the same way I did to hastily prepare for this recent half. I wish to honor the distance.

Tip - tennis balls work great for pain relief as well, and they're cheaper to buy

[@ThePaisteTrout477]

There’s a slight John Travolta tone going on. Love it

I have my 1st Full in about 2 weeks, been watching some of your videos, taking it all to heart.

[@TheRunExperience]

[@Lucid_zzz_Dream]

Peg, how did it go? Did you do ok?

[@Vividimaginations24]

[@emjay9458]

I am running my first marathon in 6 days. Trust me, if you want to start running it is never to late. Get out there and become a better person everyday.

[@bigseanSM]

loving these videos even tho I'm nowhere near a marathon yet. I'm new to running this year and am kinda stuck at 5k, everytime I try to extend my distance I either feel exhausted and like I'm just dragging myself around my run, or my feet and legs get really sore and I need more recovery time

[@TheRunExperience]

we hear you! Chances are you might be trying to run too far at too high a speed! Check out this video to help you on this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/aaDUcolnrb-Cb6s

[@BoneThugsNL]

bigseanSM so How u do now?

[@EnricoZulu]

BoneThugsNL Yeah I'm curious too. I love bone thugs trouwens.

[@vhidzlotino4116]

bigseanSM ,me too.I ran about 20k last week because I lost my money during my run😁😁I have no choice but to keep running way back home and my feet are so achy,my legs are in pain for 3days so I stopped running fora couple of days to recover.

[@Ed-tc2pg]

Interval training at half the distance and speed training at a third of the distance should help. Cross training with strength training helps too.

[@msmaria5039]

Thanks for the tips. I have started running today. I don't know if I will run a full marathon but I will start with a 5k.

[@parepidemosproductions4741]

Wow, amen, "honor the distance" Heck yeah

[@xxBahamutxx95]

very true advices. i completely agree with all of your advices, especially the third advice. keep making great running videos 👍

[@justrandom7752]

I do strength training 3x a week full on training heavy and accessories and I’m joining track and field and right now we’re doing a 2 mile marathon yes that’s nothing honestly, but I wanna unlock my full potential I know I can run fast and keep it steady the problem is the shoes, I run faster and better in flat shoes, normal running shoes slow me doing.The problem is the ball of my feet start hurting after a minute of going full out

[@Lucid_zzz_Dream]

Excellent video. Clear, direct statements. Easy to understand tips. Great job 👍

[@jacquelinefalls9856]

How do I eat to train for a marathon? Is there a good water drinking interval?

[@Raihana2024]

Thanks for sharing, coach. I would be really grateful if you provide me more information as I am preparing myself for a Marathon running, unfortunately, I can’t hold more than 5 km in about 35 minutes How can I have more achievements?

[@KVN..]

I’m getting ready to run a full marathon ! This was helpful

[@madonomad2298]

Thanks Nate for the great videos :) The Run Experience is by far my favorite KZbin channel ever :)

[@sanyuktadutta5604]

Excellent, respect all the tips, thanks so much.

[@Saiarts_yt]

I do my training using just my body-weight. Although I am training for the distance but I have no trails to work with. Also since I live in the city, I have to obey the traffic lights. But I am willing to join the marathon. But prior to the post lockdown and NYC is finally rebuilding itself. I would like to join the 5k. Now that I recieved this tip I would like to do marathon myself or with group to 10k.

[@kellypennell8333]

I absolutely love that you say fix the problem over bracing, taping or some other adaptive equipment. These items are a temporary fix and unless the issue is addressed, it will always be a weak area in your training.

[@70Crema]

Excellent advice! Thank you!

[@HeyitsGabeagain]

Has Anyone benefited from putting on toe spacers/ spreaders for recovery or on while you sleep?

[@barretwaltz6631]

Do you have a video about how to train fir an ultramarathon? Finished a couple of marathons, now what’s next?

[@michaelphothasoneRunning]

Great information and tips. Thanks !

[@TheRunExperience]

Glad to be able to help you!

[@patseidler5636]

I'm 69 and overweight, my family challenged me to a marathon July 30th... what are my chances? Liked your posting

[@TheRunExperience]

You can DEFINITELY do this.With a good blend of running, strength training and mobility/injury prevention exercises, you'll succeed. We have a Marathon Training Program that has helped tons of people get through the finish line with much success! I'd suggest starting with our 30 Day Challenge program first though, to get acclimated to our training style and to safely get moving again. Feel free to take a look at these programs here: therunexperience.com/training-plans and email us with any questions!

[@darkorayo6139]

Im 13 years old but i want to run a marathon ppl do not belive in me and tell me to focus on my high school cross country career but aint no one gone stop me

[@TheRunExperience]

That's the spirit!

[@Ed-tc2pg]

Consider forefoot running. Be mindful of injures. Try to gain as much strength, muscle and bone as as you can while you are young.

[@kelsey635]

as long as you know ain't isn't a real word then go for it and succeed.

[@sunshinesmiles5386]

You got this! Cross country will really help you with training - I was 15 when I did my first marathon in the middle of XC season. It helped when I did regular XC practice with the team and then did a second practice (swimming, core, biking, etc) for about an hour, a few hours before or after practice.

[@gorillatrading5452]

[@Ed-tc2pg]

I need to get more wine bottles, for research purposes of course.

[@missmarjum]

Thank you very much for sharing 😊

[@moncier77]

I run 40 miles per week. I speed train two times a week at 3 miles at 7 min pace and then rest at 8 min pace. Long run is usually 10-13 miles. Like you said time is such a hassle... cause of all the others things in life. So I’m scared to run a marathon and fail.

[@TheRunExperience]

Being afraid of failure is never the way! Keep up the strong training and do your best to balance that with the rest of your life. You'll get there :)

[@isabellaa.sastrahadijaya8310]

My first marathon is next month and my only goal is to cross the finish line ALIVE.. hahahaha

[@mr.hackley8608]

I've been running 6 kms in 40 mins 6 days a week for over a year now. Can I transition to marathon running from here.

[@WayneWBishop]

Just fabulous instruction!!

[@tonyd1874]

I have a marathon in 3 weeks and only had time to run once a week lately so have done long runs of 16 to 18 miles. I got to 19 miles this week, but after 15 my legs were in bits! It’s my 2nd run on new trainers which suit my under-pronation. What would you guys recommend I do over the next 3 weeks to be as prepped as possible?

[@Vinodkumar-ej5yg]

Awesome tips Nate .

I am just stating to do 5k runs and the shoes I have I'm using I'm experiencing shin pain and calcaneal tendon pain what shoe would you suggest for the best run cause I'm doing 2mils but I feel in I had those two problems taken care of I can run longer

[@TheRunExperience]

Check out our channel! We did a couple thorough videos on picking the right running shoes:) also check out our video on footstrike! A lot of time our form is to blame, versus the shoe...

[@carolgaspar6517]

Swagata Bhattacharjee you should ask your doctor regarding the activities you’re allowed to do. A heart condition and a lung problem can both result to a breathing problem. I have asthma. Thank God, exercise does not trigger exacerbations in my case.

[@harrycarrey5124]

The biggest thing to know when training for your first marathon is that anyone can do it.... it doesnt matter your background or even your weight.... the biggest thing when working your first marathon is to remember that hydrating yourself as well as the participants is just as important. I made the mistake while in my first marathon by accidently handing one of the runners my coffee instead of the cup of water... that was bad... so never have a hot beverage in one hand while the runners are going by...... also use distilled water.. runners hate sparkling or flavored waters.. never kool aid either I found out... a runner in Chicago said I cost him the marathon by giving him kool aid.. im not so sure about that but lesson learned. either way enjoy your first marathon... they are super easy...like bartending at a wedding...... just hand out the water and then hopefully party with some other marathoners after the running thing is over. also you are probably going to get puked on if you work the finish line.
