Massive sessions! 30k of total volume remotely close to target marathon pace in the context of a 200k week is epic. You’re both more than ready to run under 2:20 when fresh. Nick looked stronger in this session but then it was cooler and battersea park is a runners paradise for flatness! Matt seemingly had a bit more traffic and humidity to deal with too. Good luck guys.

Really great to see these kind of videos in addition to the professional stuff! Both of your racetimes are a still a large leap for the majority of us but are a lot more approachable and just such grounded commentary when reflecting on your own form/performance. Good luck to the two of you for Rotterdam.

Sub-Elite? You are Elite man, don’t underestimate you. Not running a 2:10 marathon doesn’t mean you are not elite
@ItsCaptainMC2 жыл бұрын
Sub-elite is still a super impressive distinction. It’s kind of just the truth that you’re not elite unless your around 2:10 though.
@classicalgreekintroductory60452 жыл бұрын
The whole distinction between elite and sub-elite is completely arbitrary. How can you draw the line at 2.10? Surely someone running a 2.10 marathon in these new shoes can't count as elite either, since there's tons of Africans running closer to 2 hours flat. If you place yourself in a category "sub-elite" it just shows you want to distinguish yourself from other practitioners of the sport. Just do your training and be the best version of yourself, as good as you can be, and stop inventing these arbitrary hierarchies.

5:10 right off the bat your running efficiency is really poor. You're a 2:10 or under marathoner being piloted by a beginner. usually I only see this bad form in triathletes... Form tells us so much. Last year I was able to accurately predict race results by watching peoples cadence and form in the first few minutes of cross country races. It is amazing how much of a tell it is. Then I started to spot the actual functional but different running form among some elites which still works and isn't just inefficiency... bouncing up and down doesn't belong in an endurance race - we're not tigger.
