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?

My man

Hey dude! Missing yhe videos! Would love to see a nostagia video, something about how running has evolved or changed for you through all the years.

[@TurtleMatey]

Love your videos man, been watching since I was running as a freshman in highschool 13+ years ago.

[@krakhour2]

awesome . he is back

[@haveyoubenrunning]

Looks like an amazing loop.

[@runsintheforrest1364]

This looks like a vacation destination to me.

The goofy runner 😅

[@esotericpig]

The Big Ci. In next video, maybe can tell us what stretches/strength workouts doing to fix your injury? And are you going after Sanders (or another pro's) KOM again? I remember that was a goal of yours.

[@cicirunner]

I definitely remember the KOM segment you are referring to and I really want to do it. The weather is about to get hot in Arizona so that is probably more of a late year opportunity if it comes to fruition. I have the habit of overcommitting to things and I really want to follow through with this one. I'll address some of your questions in the next Series video.

[@jonathanalcantara3385]

Beautiful views! Glad to hear your injuries have healed. I was struggling with some as well last year, but the past 6 weeks of 15 mile weeks have been promising. No more pain! Godspeed to us!

[@cicirunner]

Lets do this shit

[@nadsim154]

What do you think of all the crapvid shot you took now knowing what's up?

[@cicirunner]

I don't understand the question. Is this a coherent sentence?

[@littlesriv5066]

Any tips on how to improve my mile time from 4:48 to 4:35? I'm in track season right now and need to get down to 4:35 in about a month - I know most of that will have to come from effort at this point but wondering if there's any specific thing I can do to help myself

[@cicirunner]

How long ago did you run 4:48? What is your 800 PR? Sometimes the difference is just believing you can do something and digging deep. Also, what were your splits in your last 1600?

[@camsrivastava8071]

@@cicirunner I ran 4:48 a week ago. My 800 PR is 2:07 (although I think I could run 2:03-2:04 fresh). In my last 1600 where I ran 4:48 splits were like 1:13 1:13 1:13 1:08

[@cicirunner]

@@camsrivastava8071 Nice splits but you clearly had a lot of energy in the end. When I run my mile time trials, I like to go out hard and hang on. My splits may not look pretty but it's all about running a faster time, isn't it? I don't purposefully go out super hard, it just always seems to happen and I don't hold back that first lap. You should go out in 68-70 the first lap of your next mile race and see what happens. Sometimes you don't know what your limits are until you test them. Don't tire yourself out that first lap by intentionally going super hard. Just use that adrenaline but try to stay relaxed. Focus a lot on the second lap because your tendency will be to slow down a lot after a fast first lap. Try to only run a 2-3 second positive split on laps 2 and 3. Last lap will always take care of itself.
