How Do You Train For A Marathon?

[@Joe_Souza]

Hooray for having this on KZbin every episode!

[@katrinaalison2511]

Started listening on spotifty while i was running on the treadmill but then my husband stole it from me (we're too cheap for the duo plan 🙄), so I had to switch and finish on KZbin, so I was very glad it was here! Love listening as always. Come for the good content, stay for the fun banter. 🙂 (Katrina from Canada )

[@vukilehlabangana5366]

Husbands I tell you…

[@JoshBelville]

Genuinely enjoy your rapport every episode, even when you get massively side-tracked. 😆 Thanks for putting the podcast on KZbin every week!

[@SLaf-n6m]

Rick’s mentioned a woman from his past named Hannah a few times. Invite her and just enjoy the tension triangle created as Rick asks her about running (away from commitments).

[@andreakynoch2077]

Great episode, I love the energy between you three. Delighted hear that all future episodes will be on you KZbin as it's definitely my preferred way to enjoy the podcast, although I have to admit until a few weeks ago I didn't realise I was only getting half of the episodes so I'm now listening to ones I've missed while I'm at work to help the day pass quicker. Rick may be surprised the Sarah got a first, personally I'm more surprised that Sarah was a Big Stone given how quick she is 😲 (From Dundee, Scotland)

[@seb_617]

Andy is so humble but such a badass. Olympian but also first in aerospace engineering from Cambridge! Two things very well done indeed. Must have impressive determination as well as innate ability.

[@nidhivaidya6485]

You three have the best banter!

[@nathalieasselin2251]

Every week on KZbin 🎉thank you 😊

[@runningchannel]

Glad you’re excited too! 😁

[@dresden_slowjog]

4:32 OMS , I'm Team Sarah, obviously! I both watch and listen. The visual interaction between Andy Scratchhead, Sarah Smugsmile and Rick Buttonpusher is hilarious! As a non-native speaker I sometimes don't get every detail, particularly when everyone is speaking lively at once or too fast for me. That's not bad, please don't change! Rewind and slow-down buttons do exist on Spotify for a reason, and I do love the subtitles on KZbin, improving my English bit by bit by Bri'ish banter X-D

[@shinynewstewardofthebutter4148]

An interview with Russ Cook, the guy who is currently running the length of Africa, would be amazing 🙂

[@Ruateddybear2]

Did NYC, Berlin, Chicago, and was supposed to to Tokyo next month but I fractured my foot a few weeks ago! I’m so bummed!!!! Ugh!!!! So close!!!! I want to literally cry! I’m running Chicago again in the fall so at least I’ll have that. 😢

[@TheNbrayman]

So great these will be on KZbin each week as well!!!

[@tanyakennedy6511]

I listen both to audio podcast and on KZbin.

[@kimdecker8901]

Cheers for TRC pod on a weekly basis! Something to look forward to EVERY Saturday!

[@lornamadonna246]

I watch this every other week on my drive to work which I guess could be bad, but I’m so excited and happy that I don’t have to wait the extra week

[@StephanieLuff]

Yay! Thanks for posting all the episodes here 🤗

[@sarahcolliver7650]

You guys are awesome. So fun. I’m a mum of 7 and my eldest son occasionally goes out running early hours of morning. It’s something that we as women could not do. We should be safe , but reality is we have to think about things differently. Where we park a car if it’s going to be dark or late when we come back to it. If I’m running on a quiet road , I am automatically more alert. I don’t let it stop me though. As to interesting people. The two lads (brothers ?) running across Australia. Then there is an American chap who was on the Mark Lewis pod cast , who lost a huge amount of weight, and running was instrumental. So inspirational. He was American.

[@generalpartridge7653]

Actually loved listening to this sorta while working! Inspiring me to run more too!

[@danielmiddleham9881]

If it were possible an interview with Ronnie O'Sullivan about his running would be amazing.

[@BeerMatt96]

(Listened to the pod, so will just imagine the head-touching (!)) Loved the pods you've done with Mo and Jess (and others) in the past. Any chance you can keep a rotation for "guest" slots going, including James and Anna? I enjoy the range of views and opinions, and guest slots will stop the chemistry between the usual triumvirate from becoming stale. (Surrey, UK, for Rick)

[@runningchannel]

We’ve got more guests lined up don’t you worry!

[@collierellis553]

Having never run competitively at school, I would love to see/hear you interview a school coach (university or lower-level) to hear about how they approach training teams and individuals. How they get the most out of their atheletes, etc.

[@zakcollins987]

I'd love to see you guys do an interview with Lucy Charles-Barclay.

[@mikestevenson1334]

Loved this episode. One of the best so far. The chemistry is electric. Had me laughing so much =D

[@moggy992]

I'm glad you said that, sarah, that you lost your mojo or love for running. I've currently realised I've over trained both mentally and physically. A run is a bind right now.

[@michelleharnett1351]

You guys are insane. And like Rick, I feel left out with my 2:1 (making an assumption there). But I do have 2 masters so it all evens out in the end.

[@joannemarkov]

You are my favorite distraction from climbing Mt. Washmore and Mt. Fold-me, so I "watch" on KZbin. (Realistically, I'm listening, but occasionally glance over to the computer.)

[@lenkaontherun]

Yeeeees, more podcast on KZbin! Wohooo!

[@stuartwebster2203]

What is a 26.2 miles run if not a marathon? Love the video.

[@Ross867]

Wow I saw Sarah’s 10k today. She’s gotten so fast!

[@julietstevens7381]

Yay for the weekly KZbin 🎉

[@mariegreen2203]

Ok What is this Gaby that they mentioned for sometimes having after a marathon? Thanks. Love you guys

[@Goldy428]

It is alcohol. From Google: Gavi is a white wine denomination located in the southern part of Piedmont, Italy.

[@mariegreen2203]

@@Goldy428 thx. I had CC on but it spelled Gaby not Gavi. Not something sounds familiar here in the states.

[@Goldy428]

@@mariegreen2203 No problem Marie. I had never heard of it until I watched these videos. It is mentioned in almost every podcast. Good luck with your running journey.

[@Sam.Barclay]

I'm not on Spotify so all the new episodes now going on to on KZbin is great for me 😁

[@nathanvanniekerk2621]

Hi guys. Just a response to one of the questions about where do we listen . I download the podcasts here on KZbin and I play the video and listen ( I don't watch and drive I promise !)😂

[@heatherhartleyruns]

When is the merch coming - I love the sweatshirt!!

[@siddharthranadive8186]

Hi TRC Team! Huge fan from Chicago, USA. How do we get our hands on the beautiful sweatshirt Andy's wearing?!

[@AlwaysForwardRunning]

I love you guys,. Great pod... as usual!

[@eldonbergen4543]

A big fan from Canada here. I too would like to know exactly what gavi is. I googled it and found the Italian wine. Is this it? From the context, it doesn’t quite seem right though. Also what does it mean to get a first?

[@Enukia]

Every week on KZbin!!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@haroonrashid126]

Good Luck Sarah on the London marathon, hope to see you. This will be my 18th and it will also be my 4th World Major.

[@runningchannel]

Amazing! Good luck! 💪

[@Leeroy49]

I know a runner who's likely to get her 3rd 6-star medal very soon (10th person in the world if she gets it). Two medals next to each other do look crazy :).

[@TheWaterlou25]

I want to know, for those using treadmills to train on snowy winter days, do you trust the stats from the gym treadmill?? How do you know your pace on a treadmill if your fitness tracker relies on GPS for accuracy? Help

[@jodibeck]

16wks training is required. So coming back from injury with peak weekly kms of 27km for the whole week with my longest run of 9km and doing Tokyo in a week is not ideal. Can’t believe 1 weeks training is not recommended. 😅

[@DavidC-rt3or]

I look at doing half marathons (or even 70.3 Ironmans) getting to the start line ready to go you've already won. The event is more of a celebration of all the work. The hard part of events like marathons etc.. is you can't do everything right and on that one day things like bad weather, covid cancellations (covid era), or even just a bad timing of even a slight illness and not getting to reap the rewards.

[@joannemarkov]

You continually tease with the Run. Improve. Repeat jumper! Every time I check, they are out of stock. Will they be restocked? Please? Pretty please"?

[@RyanSmith-hf7gc]

I wouldn't say 3:30 is a conservative marathon target Sarah! 😂

[@nvb8528]

Any tips on avoiding cramp? Hoping to run my first marathon this April at Manchester and scared of getting cramp in my calves towards the end

[@emmarunyeard6832]

Loved this, made me laugh out loud x

[@AlbertWeijers]

What about some audio post-production? The levels of the voices goes up and down, If I listen to the podcast on the move it's sometimes very difficult to understand everything, especially Andy's volume is very low sometimes. Compressors and limiters can help here.

[@stephenhawe4331]

Is it possible for a newbie runner kicking 60 with a degree of fitness to train for a marathon in 16 weeks, or is that too much to consider?

[@matthewcreelman1347]

For sure, you can definitely finish a marathon. Can you run it in a specific time? That’s a different matter.

[@cannuckchick7522]

I would say that may be a bit of a stretch unless your current fitness has been gained with quite a lot of time on feet (walking or hiking) only because building weekly mileage can be somewhat punishing, especially as we near (or have passed) 60. If you’re going to attempt it, I strongly urge pursuing run-walk (8 and 2 or 9 and 1) as that approach really does slower the stress on the body.

[@stephenhawe4331]

@@cannuckchick7522 I’ve just taken a look at the marathon training plan from This Messy Happy and it looks a bit daunting tbh. I’m currently doing 4 or 5 miles twice a week but still may not be enough. Think I’ll start training now for next year 😂

[@CaptainBrash]

You might be fine, if your base fitness is ok and you aren't injury prone then maybe. You probably want to do at least 5 weeks beforehand to train for the marathon training, that's still basically assuming everything goes perfectly. Lots of people blow up trying to do a couch to marathon.

[@pierre-yvesdantec3802]

Chéers for thé weekly youtube postcast👍🎁

[@Stevenc1984]

Andy made a friend at university, that bloke who worked in the library 🤓

[@keithhuckfield7783]

Woah, Rick you went to Aberystwyth same time as me, class of 2004, we have mutual friends. I did film so spent a lot of time in Lanbardarn campus. What did you study?

[@nollys8523]

I can’t listen to the podcast, I would feel like I’m missing something. I prefer to break the 4th wall and go straight to watching it all on KZbin 😁

[@christianaunderwood]

I always watch KZbin when Im at home and Spotify when travelling. :D

[@monachorum]

I’d like to see you interview Chris Evans - he inspired me several years ago when I started running and I went to his first two RunFest events. Now that would be an entertaining podcast.

[@GTE_Channel]

I think Tim Noakes would be a great guest. So much knowledge on fueling.

[@patrick4015]

Damian hall would be a good one to have on the podcast. His book about the intact we have on the world is so good.

[@helenkeyutang4419]

Please talk to Sifan … I would be so delighted … she seems like such an interesting person and her running is just wild!! Please please Sifan

[@starlight-animations]

34:00 Gerda Steyn 🎉

[@coltonfyfe5508]

I would love to see you chat with Courtenay dauwalter!

[@clairemilsom7241]

I’d like you to interview Middle Aged Running Man. His videos are fab

[@ishanchourey2252]

I can't send my question in at the said email. Is there any other way?

[@enonek2960]

Aerospace Engineering vs. Drama?, I'm so sorry Sarah, but Andy wins no question. I'd imagine the structure and discipline required in the study of Aerospace Engineering would lend itself quite well to the rigors required to be a world class athlete. Is this true?

[@AstrumG2V]

Podcasts are best served ROASTED 🔥

[@tanyakennedy6511]

Who would I like to see you interview? Three icons of the marathon: Kathrine Switzer, Deena Kastor, and Meb Keflezighi. And ultra marathon icon Harvey Lewis.

[@Maria-mm4qb]

Would love to see a chat with Camille Herron!

[@stephenwoods1701]

Peter James (UK Author) is a runner :)

[@pufan14]

Rick is right about golfing and losing golf balls as a hack golfer

[@anto_runs]

Yes to filming every episode!

[@joegreenwood86]

Please try and interview Ronnie O'Sullivan. His book was about running and how it helped him overcome addiction.

[@ElliottDickenson]

When running with a wrist heart monitor I find them inaccurate. Has anyone tried wearing the watch underneath the wrist so it can’t read the heart rate better? Maybe a test for someone.

[@CaptainBrash]

I think all the algorithms to convert the capillary dilation detected through light assume the top of the wrist so I don't think it would be more accurate. The main problem isn't the accuracy though, it's the delay. The accuracy of the good ones isn't too bad but it's when you think you are skipping along at 150bpm then it suddenly spikes to 180.

[@djcr_91]

Try and chat with Beau Miles, that would be amazing!

[@jef.hutchby944]

The three of you have peaked with interactions :-D

[@matthewcreelman1347]

I don’t watch for Andy touching his head. I watch for Sarah pointing and Rick waving his hands.

[@jordanhiggs3835]

Would it be possible to get some comments on the ‘RunnerBoi’ exposé of Kate Carter (“Running Journalist Caught CHEATING in Marathons?”) in your next podcast? Not taking a side just want to know where the current production team stand on the allegations

Interview with the comedian Ivo Graham please! The fella runs fast and is also funny.

@@runningchannel the only thing I picked up on the title topic was train more than you would for a 5km. Though your team is probably fed up answering that question to be fair.
