The start of marathon training | what I eat, training plan & injury recovery

[@katharinaschneiderr]

I am SO THRILLED to finally share this first video in my marathon training series with you! As noticed, it’s quite long but remember I put the chapters for you :) This marathon training has started off extremely well and I am surprising myself every, single day 💫! Not only is it fun because I genuinely enjoy it but documenting the process for you excites me a lot! I’ll be sharing much more of what I do on a daily basis (vlog-styled) but I just needed for you watch this first! Let me know if you’re working towards a goal yourself (doesn’t have to be related to running) or, if you’re in-love and obsessed with running like I am, any tips and recommendations would be amazing! 💕 💕

[@elysiabronte]

obsessed with this! i started running during recovery and it's helped me sooo much. i also eat sooo many oats. sometimes i worry that it's "too much" (even though that isn't really a thing in recovery) and have to remind myself how important it is replenish the energy used when running so that i can continue running. since eating lots more oats and bread my times and distance have improved enormously!! thank you so much for the video, it helps ensure that i am also hopefully on the right track!

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Thank you so much Elysia! This put a huge smile on my face. Keep eating and feeling your body! It's so important for many other reasons than running too!

[@elysiabronte]

@@katharinaschneiderr 100%!! Doing the best I’ve ever done during Uni too. Was having tough day fighting that voice today but fueled the body, and ran a 10km with avg pace of 4:40 which was a first!! It’s all the small reminders, and your beautiful vids. You’re helping so many, thank you!!

[@katharinaschneiderr]

You’re a shining star! 4:40 that’s seriously impressive!! Thanks for being so kind - I’m happy you’re here!

[@zahnihannahmarie886]

Thank you for noticing. I'm glad

[@anna-cq1jv]

just finished the video with you asking to let you know if we liked it - soo here i am :D i really enjoy watching your videos and i catch myself frequently checking whether you posted a new one yet. your passion for running and just enjoying life in general? is so refreshing and inspirational and just so so nice to watch! i also admire the editing and the aesthetic (if you may call it that?) of your videos - looking forward to whatever and whenever you're going to share some other bits of your journey! xx

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Thank you so much! I’m really glad you say so :))

[@lenizoe8785]

I am so glad you're feeling better after the stress fracture! I've had it three times now and I am absolutely terrified to ever have to go through this pain again. Thank you for the great video! :)

[@katharinaschneiderr]

I understand you completely! I'm so worried it'll happen again - but I trust my choices have been made for the better since then :') I'm glad you enjoyed the video! :)

[@tgerule]

I started running when my mental health took a huge battering. I don’t even know why but I felt the need to run! It’s incredible how much of a life saver it was. Now I have a whole group of friends purely from going to parkruns and entering races. I love running as it’s forever had my back during the good and bad times! I wish you all the best for your marathon journey ❤🎉

[@katharinaschneiderr]

I am so glad for you!! And completely resonate with you. I feel that running is my ‘zone’ and when I feel my best and it’s also I time in which I prioritise my own well being. It’s so healing!! Thank you so much 🩷🩷

[@mikhailalynn]

Excellent first video for your marathon training! I'm also glad that you were able to recover from your foot injury. Hope it continues to go well!

So excited to see more of these!!

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Makes me so happy to hear! I'm soon ready with the next one :)

[@leannecraggs3165]

I’m not a podiatrist hunni but I have seen a few and they all say brooks running shoes are the best , you can wear for 60 days and return no questions asked . I always only wear brooks for running or even long walks . I tried Pegasus and ran into problems as they don’t allow your foot to flex bk properly , we are all diff so you might be ok but If I try other brands ends in injury . Xx

[@katharinaschneiderr]

I've tried brooks too and I admit, they are so comfortable! I Just couldn't get my size or color in the model I wanted. I'll keep my eyes open :) Sorry about your experience with the pegasus! As you say, no one runs the same way. Stick to your brooks then, I'd prefer you to stay safe whilst running xx

[@cannuckchick7522]

I sold shoes in a technical running store for a few years a while back and different shoe companies use different lasts and different people need different lasts based on their feet, their weight, their running volumes, styles and intensities. Over the years, I’ve used many different brands depending on the best fit for me. And since shoe companies think they need to redesign often, shoes that I used to love often get redesigned into something that no longer works for me and I find myself switching not just shoes, but brands.

[@katharinaschneiderr]

I've experienced the same too. Now I just try out which ones feel the best and don't stick to certain brands! @@cannuckchick7522

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Perfect timing! Wish you the best of luck with the race and your training too! Where will you be running the marathon?

[@vl.razumov]

@@katharinaschneiderr Thanks) I'm going to run in Nizhny Novgorod - it's in Russia. In early September. In the meantime, I will prepare for shorter distances of 10 kilometers in different cities. And I will run more kilometers just for the September marathon. Good luck to you too! Very interesting videos :)

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Exciting for you!! I’m sure it’ll be great - and thank you:)

[@elav7410]

you can link Nike running club to strava so that whenever you do a run on NRC it saves it also on strava

[@laurencharltonn]

Loved this! I’m so excited for your running journey! Random Q but what laptop do you have?

[@katharinaschneiderr]

It’s a MacBook Pro I bought in 2022 :))

[@puntjepuntpuntje]

I was looking forward for this vid. (yes patiently , when i saw the upload I promissed myself i would watch it today... because i had to sleep first. so i did) You made it worth the wait. I enjoyed it very much. the eggs... I was like should i keep a notepad with the score of how many times you would mention it? It made me laugh so much. In a good way tough. It's exactly how I would have reacted to not having eggs. Hope you're foot keeps being fine. What is you're favorite time to do a run? I love the early mornings ( most of the time i start at 4:45 so there are almost no people around and it's still dark...)

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Glad you didn't compromise your sleep! ;) I honestly prefer to run in the morning around 8am. It obviously depends on when I went to sleep the night before and how tired I am. But in general, during the mornings! I think running in the dark can be a bit scary but it's also a cool vibe :)

[@leonar79]

Very well presented video 👍🏻

[@katharinaschneiderr]

Thank you!! :)

[@fiolet94]

so at the end of the day, which trainers would you recommend? :)

[@katharinaschneiderr]

I'm personally really happy with my Adidas Adizero Boston 12 and the Nike Pegasus 40. I ended up returning the asics because they felt too heavy on my feet when I ran. I'll try out some more shoes soon, from Saucony most likely :)

[@josipbrstilo3338]

Your channel just popped out of nowhere. YT algorithm is really doing its thing🤔. I guess YT does really care about small content creators. At 13:59 you've said that you have no idea how far you've runned. Small advice...why don't you get yourself a running watch. You can find amazing running watches for 200-500€. There is a Coros Pace 3 watch that is a 230€, Apple Watch is amazing too if you love Apple ecosystem. I know you can use your phone to track your runs but I would not recommend that. You do not need to spend a huge amount of money on a good GPS watch. I'm a a little shocked to see you prepare for a marathon and not use a GPS watch. Great video BTW😜

[@katharinaschneiderr]

When I said that, I was so tired haha! I did know where I was at, looking at the stats on my phone. Don’t worry, I do plan to get a watch 🤩🤩 it’s honestly just been a bit of a ‘jungle’ for me to navigate and find which one suits me. I’ll see!!

[@BaileyCroffordMusic]

Are you gonna get a running watch?

Definitely, I just don't know which one yet. If you have any recommendations, let me know!

what kind of injury did you have and how long did it take you to recover?

[@katharinaschneiderr]

I talk about that at 16:51 !

[@fiolet94]

@@katharinaschneiderrsorry, I didnt pay enough attention haha! sometimes I watch videos on increased speed :) I totally understand how injury might affect your life and how frustrated it might you feel! I had a foot injury where I could not walk at all because of the pain for a long time! It was someting like plantar fasciitis/ Achiles tendonitis and it took ages to heal! It started improving only once I started doing proper physio excercises. I felt so depressed and frustarted not being able to walk comfortably! There are many factors that might have contributed to my infury, but inappropirate footwear was one of them I believe. now, I pay more attention to what I buy... lesson learned I guess. I still worry that the injury may recoccur! I also worry about changing shoes as it might affect my foot, walking style etc. so frustrating!
