[@romeomaxian6771]

Thank you very much Matt for the vibe you are generating. It is a pleasure to watch you train. The progression and ambitions you have shown lately motivate me not to give up during difficult moments. You prove once again that stagnation is only temporary if you stay consistent. You are a true inspiration, and I wish you the best for the next year!

[@sweatelite]

thank you very much for the kind words

[@grizzlymcgill4117]

keep going with this content it is absolute gold , love seeing all the details it's helping me piece the puzzle along the way too, this is PEAK content

[@_Rush36]

I have a huge appreciation for how much it takes to not only set these audacious goals on a public stage but follow through with the work and performance. Always enjoy the content. Good going Matt looking forward to see your 2025

[@sweatelite]

thank you for such a positive comment

[@English.runner.en.Espana]

Amazing. A big thanks from us marathoners!!!

[@sanjas.5217]

Thank you for sharing your journey. I'm always trying to learn something new from your videos.

[@young-spark]

Bold and courageous. Let's go get it!!

[@young-spark]

And would be great to see you running a few smaller races and getting on the podium!

[@richardsmith1525]

Boomshakalaka! Good luck Matt

[@sweatelite]

😂 Boom!

[@AmusingMunch]

Sure plenty experts will be telling you it can’t/shouldn’t be done but what you have achieved this year is proof you should just keep doing what you love. You are clearly up for a challenge and enjoying the journey no matter where it takes you. Very best wishes with your goals.

[@sweatelite]

Appreciate you

[@AmusingMunch]

@@sweatelite ps - Sept race : Loch Ness, Scotland. Beautiful scenery. CR 2:19. You’d get free entry & be in amongst £3K+ prize pot to offset some travel expenses 🙂

[@sweatelite]

This is a great idea, thank you

[@robmazzanti]

Matt - setting durability aside, do you feel that you’ll have enough time between races to gain fitness and improve your marathon PR? Trying to gauge how many quality sessions you’ll realistically be able to complete between recovery and tapering for the next race.

[@sweatelite]

Each marathon in itself is obviously a huge training stimulus, I seem to recover pretty well in about 4-6 days from the most recent marathons, there’s obviously no fitness lost in this time after a marathon.. I don’t see losing fitness being an issue but getting injured would be the biggest risk to this

[@thuggoe]

I like this channel because you accomplish the goals you set out . nice job on the recording

[@AJB_runs]

Weekly hill sprints are going in my London block. Having never really done a lot of specific hill work, am just finishing up on 6 weeks of hills sessions prepping for a 10k.

[@ecruzd3rd]

Impressive goal and approach to do it! Good luck! Will be at Grandmas for my first sub 3 attempt!

[@JRJapaneserunnerinUK]

I look forward to seeing your Kawauchi method training ❤ Yes like other viewers said about want to see top athletes video yes very interesting to see what they do but that’s where we (I ) make a some mistakes that try to copy those Indians training or milages, and I love your warning said “ I don’t do this if I was you 😂” Good luck 2:15 marathon project!! Push your potential 💪

[@itzarb7514]

Nice that u show a little bit of stretching. If u can do on next videos showing us some drills, warm up and even stretches like that, that would be awesome...

[@EvilEleph4nt]

Hi Matt. Funnily enough I literally just finished my own goal of running a marathon every month in 2024! I would say that it’s not great for training; you spend far too much time either tapering or recovering, and the injury risk is quite high, especially if racing every one. But don’t let that knock you! I’ve had a great year of running and I hope you do too

[@retrospectologyrunner]

That cherry berry mix from Aldi is the best I make my smoothies the same way for the last 4 years. The protien mix from Aldi is also great and has creatine in it also. I add some orange juice , good belly probiotics, coconut water, spinach, banana, whole milk greek yogurt, beet powder, and turmeric to kick up the recovery. Great video can't wait for all the awesome content in 2025! 💯🏅💯

[@joakimlandhage5611]

It will be fun following your 2025 year with this new approach. Copenhagen have a really nice marathon in May, its a flat course but maybe abit on the warm side at that time of year, you probably know about it already.

[@sweatelite]

Copenhagen is a great choice

[@recoverbarca]

Oh ...man i'm so fkin hyped. LFG Matt

[@G_Widdicombe]

I think this is really interesting, and good luck with it. I guess you’re not expecting to PB all the time? Is that right (sorry if I missed)? I suppose it’s possible at some point you may take a step back, or have a bad run for whatever reason, and maybe not get under 2:20 for example, but it’ll be interesting to see if you can maintain a high level all year. Personally, I think you can. Good luck.

[@rturrado]

More options: Seville-February, Rotterdam-April.

[@georgeharris7578]

Lets go Fox train! 🦊

[@TristanVPAndo]

Would be epic if you ran Ballarat Matt! Ran the half last year, It's a nice flat course and the weather is usually ideal at that time of year.

[@angeloskadis9968]

Try Copenhagen in May! Great flat & fast course, great crowds - beautiful city

[@sweatelite]

It’s a great option for sure

[@BayrampashaHuseynov]

Come to Poland Krakow Marathon 06.04.2024( its very flat(172 m elevation) and temperature is around 10 C) would be great to see your

[@1519Spring]

Love Yuki! The people's champ!

[@TheLoneRunner298]

Go for Gold 🔥🔥🥇

[@michaelz9500]

Good luck excited to follow the journey! My goal is sub 3 in the spring, I have some hills in my easy routes, you recommend sprint up hill as part of easy run? so an hour easy run might have 2/3 hill sprints?

[@gnicolas9528]

Barcelona in March!

[@dennisescobar0436]

You mentioned it’s not a workout you throw in whenever. Considering you do a workout Wednesday and Saturday plus long run Sunday what day would you recommend squeezing this in your routine?

[@run4fun50plus]

Where did you do the training camp in Portugal? Did I understood well? I'm from Portugal and didn't know there were training camps in Portugal?

[@sweatelite]

@@run4fun50plus we went to Monte Gordo in January. It was awesome!

[@TheWeirdoifyer]

When you do the strides are you doing road running or sprint form?

[@mgerhe3464nte]

How do these hill sprints differ from the classic strides we've always done? WE BRING THE BOOMSHAKALAKA!

[@mikes5764]

If possible run Valencia.I think you can already register, it sells out quickly. I might be the fastest in Europe because being flat and because it atracks the most competent runners so it is very likely you will find a pack of your level to hang on. Looking forward following your Yuki Kawauchi approach in 2025. You will be the best recovery specialist of the USA by the end of the year for sure 😆.

[@emanuelsantos5585]

Matt keep this videos going!!!! The rest bla , bla , bla ... Congrats!!!!

[@GoldR30]

This will be great damn

[@BenDuarte]

What is the plan to avoid stress fractures?

[@sweatelite]

@@BenDuarte I’ve never had a stress fracture before, 16yrs into the sport, touch wood I can remain that way. But I do about 25% of the weekly volume on a treadmill which I think helps here; quite a bit softer. Will start drinking 20 litres of milk a day also.

[@dipukalita7038]

Why don't u go for sub 2:00 project directly.

[@sweatelite]

Unrealistic

[@lizgreen2936]

Just subbed... Lettttsss gooooo!!!!!.. 😂

[@Ahoey717]

When can you tell us more about the Joe skipper relationship 😮

[@sweatelite]

Soon

[@kumsayuya8387]

Do you take creatine daily or is it just for post hard workout?

[@sweatelite]

Daily

[@jameschaves5723]

While I would like to see you set a new half PR I have to say this provides more motivation to me, lol

[@sweatelite]

I’m hoping I can throw in a half as well at some point

[@bingbong2062]

I feel like running a 2:15 is the equivalent running a 2:00 800m

[@sweatelite]

Kind of. Many people can run 2:00 for 800m off mostly talent and not a ton of training. I'm not so sure the same could be said for a 2:15 Marathon

[@BamainMn]

Oh nice…I run grandma’s seemingly every year. Good race.

[@GTAKE66]

You make a lot of videos about your own training, but I would like you to release videos of top athletes' training as you did before. That's what I look forward to.

[@stevocanuck]

I agree, This is why i subscribed in the first place.

[@grizzlymcgill4117]

a 2:15 isn't a top athlete? wtf, this guy is a walking experiment for breaking marathon prep status quo and im paying attention to everything like a nerd and hope he keeps going

[@MattShubert]

I'm kinda glad someone finally commented this, been thinking it for a while but wasn't sure how to gracefully bring it up and every other commenter has seemed happy to just watch Matt's updates. I originally subscribed in the early days because of the fantastic, no frills coverage of many elite and even sub-elite runners but that seems to have fallen off the main mission of the channel. Totally get that there's cost involved as mentioned above, but it would be cool if the channel owners addressed this pivot in a more formal way (unless maybe I missed a video on this topic?) Don't get me wrong, it's still enjoyable checking in on how Matt is doing occasionally and I'm not unsubscribing but tbh I turned off notifications for the channel a while ago

[@sweatelite]

Thanks all for the notes here. We’d love for the same thing honestly - we faced a series of issues though in making this happen. They’re not cheap to make and we struggled to find consistent brands who would help sponsor the costs involved (we lost over $30k doing these in 3yrs), by the end of 2023 we had essentially filmed all receptive athletes globally, all you don’t see on here did not respond positively. So it would have been repeating athletes which likely would have bought complaints. The other issue (which is a great thing for you guys) is many others out there are doing the same thing now - All Track Access, FloTrack. Citius Mag and many other smaller channels. What do you think of these? The final issue was, well, our view counts were dropping way way down over time…….

[@csalt5235]

I generally enjoy all of the content Mat puts up.

[@Gscrunner7]

See you at Grandma's! It will be my first.

[@vondutchman]

You can't balance that amount of racing marathons with the training blocks and recovery needed to get a 2.15....you also need to hit around a low 64 half as well if 2.15 is the goal, better focus on 2 marathons

[@sweatelite]

That’s a strong opinion that it’s not possible. How come? Because it’s not done often? It’s also not tried often. Yuki got to 2:07 doing this…

[@jameschaves5723]

Tell that to Yuki!!!!

[@vondutchman]

@@jameschaves5723 he ain't Yuki!

[@jameschaves5723]

@@vondutchman he’s also not trying to run 2:07. Why you being a Duche?

[@vondutchman]

@@sweatelite well he is one in a million but hey go for it and good luck. Why do you think it's not a done thing 🤔🤔

[@Swampvision]

Will all these marathons be all-out PB attempts?

[@hazimmohamad6683]

should hookup with Jake from RantoJapan youtube channel in Japan. he runs a lot of races and does 250k weeks

[@sweatelite]

Would love to, hope to this February

[@bartekzielinski1645]

Ballarat would be amazing, thank you, Matt 💪👏🫶 So many doubters here! I reckon this only drives the man more 👏👏👏 And let's face it, that’s what we're here for! Let's GO 2025 🙌🫶🙌🫶
