Jacob Thomson - 16x1km @ 6900ft elevation

Get Fitter & Faster @ www.sweatelitecoaching.com/
There's less than 4 weeks to go until the Chicago Marathon and Jacob Thomson is ready for his Marathon debut.
We joined him for one of his biggest marathon specific workouts of 16 x 1km (90seconds recovery) along the famous Lake Mary Road in Flagstaff, situated at 6900ft (2100m) elevation.
Jacob shares plenty of insights into his Marathon build up, as well as how he practices fuelling.
Lake Mary Road is something of a legend for Flagstaff runners - regularly used for workouts by athletes and teams such as Sara Hall, Jim Walmsley, Molly Seidel, NAZ Elite and McKirdy HP to mention a few.

I think the best part about all of these videos that Sweat Elite has been putting out is that it is giving more of a personality to these runners that we would not really know otherwise. Makes me excited to cheer them on for their races this fall! Good luck Jacob!

[@jacobthomson4360]

Appreciate it!

Never been so addicted to a KZbin channel before..

[@chrisvarelabenitez4690]

This guys stronger than majority of runners. Must be so lean!

[@cakej1]

Great workout for marathon. Did that starting at 3:12 and working down to 2:57 before running 2:22:22. I like being able to reset every kilometer so things don't get out of control. Good luck at Chicago, great race.

[@MiltiadisChi]

I think that he starts with semi marathon pace and working down until 10k pace.

[@blackwatch_TV]

totally dialed, looking smooth AF

[@benjamintennill3850]

Looking forward to what he does in the marathon one of the best long distance Kentucky runners in recent years

[@quinncooney5412]

Jacob is an absolute beast

[@PivotalRunning]

Great conversation, video perspective, and performance cues to help this incredibly talented runner get after it. Good Luck at the Chicago Marathon.

[@patrickp7214]

I almost commented in the last video you should come to Flagstaff more often! It's amazing living here with all these amazing runners!

[@mackpuntermusic3803]

This guy is gonna crush the Chicago marathon!

[@ronduncan7731]

Awesome video! I've had the same issues with Gu's in Ultraraces, training that gut was probably the most overlooked training aspect on my end. Good Luck in a few weeks!

[@kevinabate6056]

UK is a big state school. That whole part of my life between when I was finishing high school and starting college was a dumpster fire. I had to get accustomed to things being bad and then getting instantly worse. A lot of things I didn't choose, but racing and endurance sports was always the void. Because swimming was a big deal when I was young and I swam a heat winner when I was 7 and that was the last time I ever won in competitive sport. I got picked last my entire life for everything, because my growth was stunted by my asthma and I was the youngest person---I was basically skipped ahead relative to my peers and small for my age. The ultra endurance scene---just watching on KZbin, thanks mostly to my brother---got me hooked on running, because the leaderboard is probably either close to underweight or slightly underweight using BMI classifications. If I make it it comes down to the short game and I've been overlooking that the entire time I've been training. My dad tried to get me to be a golfer---and he always told me the same thing. It all comes down to the short game. That's a tough pace.

[@thegreatalyssa]

Great workout.

[@stephenhutchinson948]

thanks Matt, I love this shit

@ 5:47 I need to do more of this exercise because it's a struggle and I cannot do it smoothly like this.

After watching these videos I can always tell the Next %s apart from other shoes. Their sound is really unique.

The shoe don’t make you run faster. Kipchoge ran with defective shoe in 2:04 and was bleeding 1/2 the time

Should blow the dust off of your camera sensor! I’ve been watching all of these lately (fav channel right now) and I always stare at the blurry dot haha

Apologies about this. It's cleaned thoroughly- this mark is permanent. Will be getting a new lense soon.
