TAPER TOWN! // Sub

[@stevenlennie]

In awe at your low heart rate for these paces. Incredible stuff.

[@global-runner]

Thank you!! Those stats are cool to see!

[@global-runner]

Thank you very much!

[@andydevinewine]

Heart rate is soooo specific to an individual. So many variables.

[@global-runner]

Very true. I think mine tends to be naturally quite low.

[@robertthorpe7438]

Just wanted to wish you all the very best for the marathon - you’ve certainly put the effort in and deserve a brilliant result. As a similar age runner I’ve really enjoyed watching your progress and found it very educational and inspiring. Thank you

[@global-runner]

Thank you for such a lovely comment! I’m looking forward to it!

[@neilpurves2664]

Good luck 🤞 I’ve watched and loved the series 👍

[@global-runner]

Thanks for reaching out! I appreciate it!! :)

You running the full mate?

Thanks for another video and best of luck for this weekend!

Thank you!!!

It's still summer weather in Montreal LOL I just hope to finish under 4h this year!!!! it's my second marathon this year and my back is pulling trick on me soooo... good luck on Sunday!

[@global-runner]

Yes I just did a jog round Mont Royal and I’m SWEATING! :). Good luck going under 4 hours! Hopefully the back holds out!!

[@valeriemalenfant]

@@global-runner you should try l'Ile de la Visitation Park its along River Riviere-des-Pairies and you also have a lot of trees

[@timtrenholm3698]

Good-luck on Sunday!

[@global-runner]

Thank you!

[@davidmclucas2970]

Best of luck, I really enjoy watching good quality runners do their training. Your videos have been great to watch.

[@global-runner]

Thank you! I appreciate that comment! :)

[@mogosberhane264]

Thank you,Sir 🎉. I am 43 years old. 6.10.24 is my second Marathon race. Köln, Germany. I hope this time I run under 2:52.

[@global-runner]

Go get it!!!! And then when you’ve got it, doesn’t 2:49 sound attainable?? :)

[@sammiller1003]

Thanks for the inspiration global runner. I fell off of running these last 15 years and have just come back to it starting 3 months ago, now age 40. Plan was to run a marathon in under 3 hrs but you have inspired me to shoot for a full on PR at below 2:48! I think I can do it.

[@global-runner]

This is great to hear! You can definitely do it. Wanting it is the first step Ava’s you’re already there! Go get it..! :)

[@AboveThresholdRunning]

Good luck!

[@global-runner]

Thank you!

[@garyrelihan7773]

The very best of luck, really hoping you do it. Beautiful scenery for those runs, very lucky to have that plus those road surfaces look amazing. Just did my last long run ahead of berlin, 18 miles, 12 next weekend then fingers crossed. You never know on the day how it's going to feel but you can do no more than put in the work and hope it comes together. Inspiring training over the last 14 weeks so really rooting for you

[@global-runner]

Great words! Good luck in Berlin. Such a great marathon! And yes the scenery and surfaces definitely help detract from the pain!!

[@paulwilliams2814]

Great series, hoping you achieve your goal!

[@global-runner]

Thank you!!

[@fatihbirkan8527]

He actually :) I think insta360 needs to upgrade their software to show an activity timer. Gauges are looking very nice by the way.

[@global-runner]

I completely misread your name! Sorry about that! Let’s get that update! Timer seems like the most obvious thing!

[@raygee77]

Brilliant stuff - looks like a smooth penultimate week before the race. The best of luck this week and will be rooting for you on Sunday mate!

[@global-runner]

Thank you!!!! Fingers crossed!

[@Steveness100]

Good luck mate, enjoy the experience- the hard work is done! Got my fingers crossed 🤞 for you 💪💪💪

[@global-runner]

Thank you!! Looking forward to it!

[@Stefikp1122]

Great last performance, i am excited for your coming race! It’s coming soon! My race is in less than 3weeks, your motivation and enthusiasm is inspiring!

[@global-runner]

Thanks for such a lovely comment! I’m excited to see what Sunday brings! Good luck with your race! Which one are you doing?

[@Stefikp1122]

@@global-runner thanks, i am running the Leavenworth marathon in WA, small race but beautiful nature like on your videos. Anyway you are in fantastic shape now so it will be time to sell it! Keep us posted it!

[@Gorm-c3u]

Have a great race and thanks for sharing the journey

[@global-runner]

Thank you! And thanks for commenting!!

[@JPiazza791]

I love NeverSecond gels. It's all I use now. I hope it all works out for you and I can't wait to see the result of all this hard training.

[@global-runner]

Yeah I was always a maurten man but the never second seem to sit better, have way more sodium and aren’t all sugar.

[@sterlingsimmons8309]

You've done the work. You're ready to go. Now, it's all about fueling during the race to keep that fire burning hot from start to finish. What's the plan? It seems like modern times are trending to much higher carb intake than days of yore.

[@global-runner]

Great question. Yes they do seem to be saying that but I haven’t read the science. I’ll do my nutrition plan very shortly!

[@jameskhoury354]

Really enjoyed following your journey and I absolutely believe you've got this 💪 I'm guessing you're gonna ask us for predictions again like last time, so I'm going for 2:29:28! I'm also aiming for a sub 2:30 at Berlin... ...but in the inline skating marathon 😅

[@global-runner]

I will be asking for predictions soon! I guarantee I would be slower on skates! :)

[@global-runner]

I definitely couldn’t do 2:29 on skates!!!!

[@craig.a.murphy]

I am currently deployed (Djibouti) where it was 107F today. I have a few years on you (52) and have thoroughly enjoyed your videos… so I felt compelled to WISH YOU THE BEST! The hay is in the barn. I’m prepping for a 50k run when I get back home… and Djibouti presents some challenges (air quality, heat) so I have defaulted to the treadmill a fair bit. Also have to ask: In a few of your videos, you appear to be wearing an IHCC sweatshirt. The only IHCC I know if is “Indian Hills Community College” in Ottumwa, IA… (I live in Southeast Iowa when the Army is pulling me around). Again - Best of Luck!

[@global-runner]

I love this post! You are watching from a long way off! My nephew lived in Ottumwa and went to IHCC and bought me that shirt! It’s a great fit so I wear it a lot!

[@mikehobbs624]

Great video. Enjoy the final week of the taper. Its always a tricky time, trying to do enough, but not too much. Interested to see how your final week looks.You're looking in great shape for the marathon 👍

[@global-runner]

Thank you! Yes the trick is trying to stay out of your own head! That’s why I try and focus on confidence-builders! But it’s definitely a tricky time!!

[@st.peterunner8758]

So jealous of that scenery and weather. Getting tired of the never ending Florida summer. The low temp doesn't get below 80

[@robertbarber9707]

Me too! Same FL

[@global-runner]

Wait a few months and then see if you’d prefer calgary weather! The winters here are BRUTAL!!!

[@timshearn8203]

Good luck 🎉

[@global-runner]

Thank you!

[@clintdickens3825]

Thanks for inspiring me, good luck in montreal

[@global-runner]

Thanks for saying that! I always appreciate it!

[@mista24seven25]

Global Runner…on the way to 30k subscribers… I feel it!!!

[@global-runner]

I’d love that! 30k subs or 2:29 marathon - which would I prefer? Tough call. :)

[@ThePsants]

Good luck. Crush it!

[@global-runner]

I’m going for it!

[@DrProfX]

Beautiful scenery! Where is this? 👍

[@global-runner]

Banff, Alberta, Canada! Such a glorious place (when it’s not freezing cold!)

[@shanegill5091]

Please post the rest of your planned taper.

[@global-runner]

Will do! I was thinking of a daily blog from here to race day? Good idea? Or stick with one every few days?

[@shanegill5091]

@@global-runner Daily blog if you have time. But let us know what your full taper schedule is please?

[@global-runner]

Will do!

[@ro-qi4sw]

Good luck. Relax before race. Likely you will need it on the last 5-10km.

[@global-runner]

Great advice! And a great reminder - thank you!

[@namebutler]

Hope it all goes well. If you don't get 2:30 a flatter course would work for you. You've looked ready to go in your videos!

[@global-runner]

Thank you! I feel ready to go! It’s difficult to tell if the inclines on the course are bad but time will tell I guess!

[@koks39.]

Really enjoyed following your prep. Little bit jealous you’re tapering, with 5 weeks to go myself to Amsterdam marathon.. Let’s kick it!! 2.29.47 💪. Can we track the marathon?

[@global-runner]

Thanks for your comment! You’ll be here soon enough!! I think you can. I need to get myself to the expo to find out all the details!

[@sldorse42]

THose Nike tights are amazing!! I love them and they are cheap and super comfortable

[@global-runner]

They are super comfy. So happy with them!

[@Nyelands]

Curious how many km or miles you run at the peak of your training block. And why is it that your runs are not posted on Strava?

[@global-runner]

I run about 90 miles a week at my peak but this time I had injuries that prevented me from doing that. 2 reasons I don’t post everything on strava (1) I’m not a fan - I find myself obsessing over other people’s training rather than focusing on mine so I try not to go there too much (2) I can only upload using my daughter’s laptop and trying to wrestle that off her is impossible. :)

[@Nyelands]

@@global-runner You should be able to auto-upload via your watch and phone. Unless it's very old and doesn't connect.

[@Nyelands]

@@global-runner Okay. No cross training like cycling?

[@global-runner]

Oh I definitely do that. Cycling. Pool running. Elliptical. Strength. But I definitely don’t put that on strava. I put much more on Garmin Connect if you want more data?
