This is a throwback to my classic Sub 2:40 marathon training series I made back in 2018 that culminated with a marathon PR. Can I do it again?

Loving the videos again. For metrics, I largely agree with you. Coros has a new Effort Pace thing that is like GAP or Power and find this quite useful. If I run some course where don't know the hills, I find live Effort Pace (or GAP/Power) to be really useful, so know that I'm pushing my PR pace but adjusted for hills. I also find cadence to be over hyped, especially since there are elite Kenyans running at 160. It's so individual. I think most people argue you have less injuries at higher cadence, but not proven. For you specifically, left/right balance might be useful. Can look at that live on your watch and see pushing too hard with right leg and try to adjust. For energy drinks, definitely try Propel's Pink Lemonade. Gatorade made this brand for women, but it's amazing haha. Japan's Pocari Sweat is also great, but so expensive outside of Asia so not worth it.

Glad you post more. I know it sucks, but father time is the biggest challenge. It just gets harder from now on. However, you can still have one or two peak years where you will break your PRs, but you will just struggle more than before, it might even take you 5 years to get there.

Dude I got a knee injury also. Sucks bro

[@krakhour2]

love the videos. Like the old years. Like to see you talk about running and running pro races like we use to hear. Your favs and your runners you dont care for. awesome having you back

[@krakhour2]

what you think about kiptum.

[@cicirunner]

@@krakhour2 Oh man that dude is nuts. I'll drop a comment about him in the next video of the series. I have a lot of footage and updates but just haven't gotten around to putting it together yet.

[@krakhour2]

Propell baby

[@RamblinAround]

Sub six for that distance is damn good. I agree with you on the sports drinks, Gatorade and Powerade are tried and tested. I wouldn't mess around with other stuff. Good luck on your goal, I'm sure you can do it.

Love your videos. Been watching sense like 2013. My favorite is when you go beet that KOM. I watch that one over and over. Just started my own channel and now realize how much work you put into these videos. Just saying great job!

[@haveyoubenrunning]

It was Strava Race-cheaters!!!

[@jonkurz5101]

One of my favorites also!

[@cicirunner]

@@haveyoubenrunning Yeah that was a fun one to take. I have wanted to do other KOM videos but the best part is being able to film the KOM attempt and most segments I do are trail or hard to film.

So put some liquid iv in Gatorade lol

[@nc8186]

And if you're desperate for calories add some cooking oil too lol
