Thanks, appreciate it 🙏

[@ianbarnett6027]

Very best wishes Matt. I'm sure you have got this as your training, recovery has been going so well.

[@sweatelite]

Thanks Ian

[@sammurphy6076]

All the best Matt - will be following the race from Australia mate!

[@sweatelite]

Thanks Sam!

[@Victor-jm6sf]

You got it Matt. Great summary of your experiences since Osaka. Love your buildup strategy. Trust the training! I'll be cheering you on from Chicago.

[@sweatelite]

Thanks Victor

[@robinbauer1975]

You ran a 36km Tempo run 9 days after your race 🤯 maniac. Wish you all best for London 🍀 Remember it is just a mental fight, the fitness is obviously there for you I know it easier said than done but still

[@sweatelite]

Might have been 10 or 11. Thanks Robin 🙏

[@peterkirktenor]

Safe travels and good luck, your first series got me through the small hours with a 2 month old...rooting for you!

[@sweatelite]

Thanks Peter, appreciate the kind words

[@runningwithmarc]

Grand courses are usually a good ground for a good PB, have a good one Matt, enjoyed this video.

[@sweatelite]

Thanks Marc 👍🏻

[@chrismower5173]

Saw you at 16 miles and you looked really good. Hope whatever happened soon after isn’t serious.

[@RodRunerr]

Can't wait to see you break this thing, let me prepare myself to watch it, I'm also waiting for Richard to crush hamburg as well ❤ Good luck matt

[@sweatelite]

Thanks Eliud! Hope your leg is ok today.

[@RodRunerr]

@@sweatelite 😂 thanks I'm actually just a fan of eliud, I'm Herbert from Uganda

[@fidru]

​@@RodRunerr glad you said that. but I'm sure the real Eliud watches this channel as well 😂

[@RodRunerr]

@@fidru sure. I heard Geoffrey kamworor does actually watch this channel, I have a friend who's still junior, he lives along kaptuli and he sometimes times do long runs with the elites and they are abit close. Those guys are actually just like every day people especially here in Uganda, I believe most people around there don't even know how huge their bank accounts are 😂

[@alfredosanchez-tojar3132]

Thank you for sharing all the learnings. Excited to see what happens on Sunday. Best of luck Matt!

[@sweatelite]

Thanks Alfredo!

[@Team.L]

Good luck on ur race day!👍🏻💪 I hope all the best🙏 ❤

[@sweatelite]

thank you

[@mikehobbs624]

Your looking in great shape for Sunday Matt! All the best for breaking 2.20, have a great run. I'm running London too, tho I will be a long way behind you! 😂

[@sweatelite]

Thanks Mike, maybe see you out there

[@1987Tilley]

I'll be there on Sunday mate, also looking to break 2:20. Ran 2:21 at Valencia last year so not much to come off that... Hoping to find a group going through 69:30-70 so I'm sure we'll cross paths at some point

[@sweatelite]

Awesome news James, let's work together on Sunday.

[@1987Tilley]

@@sweatelite I'll be in the championship start, which start box are you in?

[@sweatelite]

Wave 1, Yellow Zone.

[@Lalo_Runs]

Kudos to you for approaching marathon training in a new way. Hopefully it pays off and people can learn from it that have similar issues with cramps. Best of luck in London!

[@sweatelite]

Thanks, appreciate the comment 🙏

[@shanegill5091]

Good luck Matt. We're all rooting for you!!!

[@sweatelite]

Thanks Shane 👍🏻

[@jameschaves5723]

This is the race. Just like it all came together for me in Boston, you are going to have your magical day!!

[@sweatelite]

Thanks James, lets hope so. Congrats once again on your massive run in Boston

[@fidru]

good look in London Matt. unfortunately I can't watch the race live because I have to run a HM myself (with terrible preparation, no taper but at least in a beautiful blue running singlet)

[@sweatelite]

Thanks, all the best to you too

[@adeyinkaadeoye9343]

Wishing you all the best and continued success with the channel!

[@sweatelite]

Thanks Adeyinka

[@tjercus]

Good luck Matt, I will cheer for you, hope it works out for you this time 🙏

[@sweatelite]

Thanks Tjerk

[@buttsniffa7469]

Good luck Matt. Even though you had a massive go at me after i critiqued your last performance, I hope that you break 2:20 this time and pace yourself evenly. Can't wait to see you get that job done, get em mate 👍

[@sweatelite]

My apologies if my critiquing of your critiquing was offensive. Thank you for the good luck message

[@Paul-M21]

Good luck for London Matt! 💪🏼

[@sweatelite]

Thanks Paul

[@barneyreed2315]

Good luck mate. I’ll be cheering

[@sweatelite]

Thanks Barney 👍🏻

[@billycc97]

All the best Matt, smash it 💪🏼

[@sweatelite]

Thanks Billy 🙏

[@michaelkettler3889]

My PB of 2:23:19 was solo from the gun on a course of >900' gain. I can't help but sometimes wonder what I could have ran on a "flat" course with a small group. Good luck in London this weekend!

[@sweatelite]

I'd guess you've have run 2:17-2:18 in a Berlin like race in a group for most of it. Awesome effort. Thank you.

[@Atom15]

Good luck in London Matt!

[@sweatelite]

thank you

[@marathonranati]

I hope you succeed in your sub 2:20 attempt in london!

[@sweatelite]

Thank you

[@laszlokovacs9596]

Good luck! 🤞🤛💪

[@sweatelite]

Thanks László

[@JDC_90]

Good luck!

[@sweatelite]

Thanks JD

[@maloxi1472]

Please, Please ! Don't go too fast right out of the gate. Trust the pace you trained for and stay relaxed (especially the shoulders). Good luck ! You got this 👍🏾

[@sweatelite]

You got it

[@mikefaber3567]

I'm super curious most people say only do one or 2 marathons in a year let alone 2 as you have done so close and at such a high performance level. What is your rational behind this third attempt so close to the other 2 versus waiting until the fall ? I had a pretty bad performance last week way below my capabilities and I thought what if I used it as a training run and did another attempt then I saw your video any insight would be appreciated. And either way good luck.

[@sweatelite]

I think there's a pretty big difference in recovering from a Marathon at 95% effort as opposed to 100% effort, as strange as that sounds. In Osaka, I wasn't able to empty the tank due to the cramping.

[@mikefaber3567]

@@sweatelite wow thanks so much ! I definitely wasn't near 100 percent the weather got unusually warm and it threw me off for whatever reason. So I don't feel quite as crazy for thinking of it as more of a training run and regrouping.

[@bennywallis1527]

I know how both situations work running with a pack and running alone. Funnily enough and I think I just had that day, I ran my Mara pb ( by 9mins ) on my own. Finished 3rd, but that was solo from about 600m into the race. I think if you can control the tempo early, get into a groove and have all the extra stuff ( good weather, blah blah blah ) . 4 weeks later, ran my fastest half running solo also. I train a lot on my own and I just said to myself.. You train on your own, race on your own. 2hr 30 is my goal at Melbourne. if I don't run it, I'll be giving the dream of a sub 2hr 30 dream away and cementing the 2hr 34.. I'm 47 this year and I think I may not have enough go in me to do it again. Good luck mate, I really think this weekend is the one. All ya gotta do is smile,

[@sweatelite]

Thanks Benny, thanks for sharing

[@donnybrooklads]

Eliud just hates running in the cold and rain. Remember London? Chebet had the better of him Monday and Eliud knew it after 20km. Anyway good luck Matt. Hope you lock onto a group running 3:20 or less pace!

[@sweatelite]

Thanks Donny

[@danielgroves9574]

Good luck in London!! Invested in your goal now 😂

[@sweatelite]

Thanks Daniel

[@gegenton3953]

Good luck, Matt! Regarding your calves: are you feeling cramps or do they simply feel like stones and bother you all day long? My right calf is killing me for months now and I cannot find a fix. Last hope is such a massage gadget, maybe? Or trying a different type of Magnesium perhaps? Doctors couldn't really find anything without digging deep with advanced techniques... basically they said: stop running and see if it recovers. Well... it doesn't.

[@sweatelite]

It's mostly in the hamstrings and they only bother me at the very end of Marathons and about 30-60min afterwards (walking around)...I've tried Magnesium.

[@sambassett5]

All the best for London Matt. Backing you to dip under the 2:20 mark 👍🏼

[@sweatelite]

Thanks Sam 🙏

[@buttsniffa7469]

He ran a 2.23 in training to have a tilt at sub 2.20. Based on that, I'd say sub 2.20 is in the bag at London

[@sweatelite]

Hope so

[@buttsniffa7469]

​@@sweatelite how did you go in London Matt?

[@ellis692]

Content with Lionel incoming! 🙏

[@Richard_Johnson69]

Bob n Brad mini massage gun is superb too. I find it better somehow than using big Theragun 😢

[@sweatelite]

Will have to check that out

[@gazearnden8577]

2:19 is on. What are the magnesium tablets you take for recovery again Matt?

[@sweatelite]

Let’s hope. Pillar Performance Triple Magnesium

[@lauraclevenger7431]

My hamstrings would get super tight / crampy in the vaporflys. Switched to the Adios Pro and they don't get as nearly as tight.

[@sweatelite]

Interesting

[@fernandorodriguezsegovia2693]

All the best in London, and also , do you try the Alpha 2?

[@sweatelite]

Thanks, I have not tried AF2

[@marylagman9753]

Gooooooo Matt!! You got this!

[@sweatelite]

Thank you Mary

[@Eirikkinserdal]

Aerodynamics and slipstreaming does exist in running as well 😅

[@sweatelite]

Agreed

[@mgerhe3464nte]

Not using the alphafly? 😮

[@sweatelite]

Vaporfly 2

[@yujuqro.1602]

Deberían poner subtitulos en español. .. gracias!!

[@sweatelite]

We'll look to do that in future.

[@BonaRunNow]

Too much talking. Waste my time.

[@buttsniffa7469]

Does anyone know how he went in London? Did he get a sub 2.20??

[@sts678]

Did not finish-afaik-but no follow-up video

[@buttsniffa7469]

@@sts678 oh wow. That's embarrassing. Now I understand why he's been quiet about it

[@JackD87]

I’ll be there, hollering from the sidelines. Hoping your video title has the usual podcasts triggered also 😂

[@sweatelite]

Always triggering 😂
