The Sub Three Hour Marathon Formula

[@kylekermgard]

Anyone else listen to this like 10 times while out on runs? Good podcast

[@ryanpatterson2830]

All the fuckin time man. I wish Jeff would do a weekly podcast I stg

[@JetreFenrir]

100% brother

[@martinvillapudua]

Listening to it for the first time on my run.. I’ll come back and like your comment after I go through it 9 more times. 😅

[@davejanetzki]

Just ran my first sub 3 marathon (2:57) at age 50. I credit this particular podcast episode from 2 years ago as being the most influencial in my journey. Thanks Nick & Jeff.

[@paulrisdall]

Wow, that’s amazing. I’m 41. My best marathon is 3:28. Hoping to break that 3 hour mark in the next couple years.

[@VodkaTown]

Ran my first marathon a year ago in 3:15. Was on sub 3 pace but bonked hard. I think I knew of you and had seen your videos but not the podcast. I found this video like 4-5 months ago and have been using it to help my training philosophy and see if it could help me go sub 3. I’ve probably re listened to it 10 times plus over that time span to now. Just ran 2:55 on 3/18/23 and a large part of that was from the concepts I learned on this podcast. I was literally playing moments from this in my head during the race and it helped me get through it without a doubt. Thank you both very much.

[@benjamin.kelley]

Jeff sounds like a pastor. Such good advice, I can hear his passion for helping others every time he talks.

[@Valid.4l]

I literally struggled with running for 2 years and now I’m trying to finally reach my goal of 14 min 2 mile I appreciate everything

[@copperdan7667]

This is single handedly the best running podcast I have ever listened to. I have always done my long runs at a slow pace. I am now less than 9 weeks to Grandma's marathon, and I have three 20 mile runs in the weeks ahead. I think I am going to work in some marathon pace splits into those. Especially in the later miles. I ran 13.1 last Sunday at well under my 9 minute mile marathon pace. Thanks for the interview Nick

[@robbiemedeiros244]

Man, I needed to hear this. That being good consistently and not great occasionally part struck me in my core. Thank you! ✌

45 years old, Training for my 1st marathon Jan 29th. This is awesome info, I don’t want to be out there 4+ hours so I’m training to avg 8:00/mile

[@tdeb79]

43 year old male here, ran three marathons, last one 3.13 in 2016. Although older age and family responsibilities start to hinder me in performing optimally, i feel that there is still some room for improvement by preparing better. Next marathon in October, gearing myself up to break that 3 hour barrier. This podcast surely helps. Very motivational!!

[@CAPTAIN_FANTASTIC_WORKS_OUT]

@tdeb79, did you break 3 hours?

[@tdeb79]

@@CAPTAIN_FANTASTIC_WORKS_OUT Unfortunately i didn't - i ended up running 3.06. Mixed feelings about that, because i knew from my 1.23 on a half marathon four weeks prior to the race that i could break it. However, my fears about having small children who go to kindergarten and running an autumn marathon became reality: five days before the race i caught a terrible cold. It was so bad that i wasn't sure whether i would even put on my running shoes on the day of the marathon or not. I was glad I did - my legs and longues felt better than expected. Until km30 i was as good as on course for 3.00, but after that point i could feel that I wasn't in my best shape and paid for it. So all in all, it was as good as it could get. Right now, i am still recovering from a bad knee injury because of a bike accident. Who knows, maybe i will try again in a year or so.

Seriously turning into the best endurance podcast around!!! Thank you for providing amazing knowledge.

Listening for the 2nd time around. Great podcast, great messages throughout. I'm training for my first Marathon and looking at a 50k shortly after. The message of training to be consistently good, really hits home.

[@AshleeStJohn-vd2hw]

So much valuable content here! Cannot wait for Nick and the team to begin posting the marathon content so that we can all PR together 💪

This man has me fired up. 3:08 marathoner and ready to take the next step!

I could listen to Jeff all day! He needs a podcast!

[@eduardojuarezsanchez8091]

Nick I'm so happy you brought Jeff on. I'm setting myself up to run a sub 4 next year and this has given me all the confidence to know I can and will get it done.

[@demolishedthoughts]

"the ultimate embarrassment is not doing what it takes to fix it so that you can get where you wanna go" 1:18:30 - I think this is some great piece of advice in order to live a fulfilling life in general: believe, show up and do it

[@roandbroshow]

Love your honesty Carl. Looking forward to following your progress as its very inspirational!

[@liznelson6517]

This is so great to learn from, I’m no where near sub 3 but taking and implementing the principles will hopefully get me to sub 4

The sub 3 hour formula: 60-80 miles per week Speedwork A long run 1000 mg of test per week.

You sound silly.

[@user-om4qe5tz3c]

If it takes you a gram/week to look like him your doing something wrong, or your getting ripped off

[@TripDadLife]

@@user-om4qe5tz3c I wouldn't know since I don't use.

[@user-om4qe5tz3c]

I have used and know lots that do… my suspicions are that he doesn’t use… he’s lost like 20 lbs of muscle over the last 2 years… even with his crazy cardio ( by bodybuilding standards) he would have held on to that muscle using gear

[@TripDadLife]

@@user-om4qe5tz3c I was only using test as a generic way of referring to PEDs. He might be taking other PEDs that help aid in recovery or performance of endurance in general.

Brilliant podcast, aiming to PR at sub 3 and will be coming back to this one repeatedly during the process.

I'm usually signed up for my spring marathon before I even finish my fall one. Looking forward to the next one usually keeps the post race blues minimal for me 😊

[@NOHITJEROME]

I've seen some interesting things related to the speedwork training where some people measure lactate after each set, new technology seems very promising for improving workouts. Would love a followup to see how Jeff's training methods have changed in the last 2 years and what he has learned from coaching the last few years.

[@jacksonperez2382]

Great podcast Nick. I really enjoyed it.

[@BassSniper209]

I knew this guy was sf but this got me traing for my 1st n I will do it sub 4

[@harwex]

Thanks for a great show. As a new runner I ran a 4h marathon this year. I really believe I can go sub 3 next year in Valencia. I will check your app out as I will need all advice and guidance I can get! :) Btw if you see this - How would you structure a 52 week training period for one "goal-race"?

[@sportslad9769]

Hey I’m training for something very similar! I did 3:59 in NYC in 2024, looking to go sub 3 in Toronto this year in 2025. Good luck to you!

[@AndreaDeutsch-c9n]

so good!

[@ryanmiskin8925]

Man, I'm over here looking for my next HM to sign up for, and Jeff has me fired the hell up, I want him as a coach, but I'm in Dallas :/

[@theskittlesplayz7557]

So my question is this. Should I just continue to do the same workouts over the entire training block, or are you switching up workouts each week. I’m aware you should only increase at about 10% of mileage a week but how do I taper at the end? When do I taper? What lactate threshold work should I be doing and how do I alternate them?

[@theskittlesplayz7557]

@Nick Bare what are some examples of speed work days/lacatate threshold days?

[@Efrainrubiolopez]

Definetly not giving away the secret sauce but great advice 🙏🏻💫

[@blackhatultra]

Hi! Audio is excellent. I wonder what is your workflow? I have the same mics but maybe you are using some interesting plugins or technique to make this sound so crispy :) Thanks!

[@brettwilkerson1830]

Can someone just post the spake notes

[@RedPanda915]

I'm a little confused. When they talked about it being 62 degrees were they suggesting that it was too warm? Because that is a cold middle of winter night temperatures where I live in aus

[@northtacomaninja]

Nick tell us about some of your injuries

[@kevinhanover5001]

can’t agree more with being a coach that actually has the passion to coach, that has fulfillment in the results of their athletes & studies to be the best. too many pro athletes that think they will be a great coach & base their coaching on their own experience which does not work. or top AG’ers dabbling in coaching with a couple athletes but base the program on their experience and what they do. that shit doesn’t work for the masses, I see so much overtraining & injury, then they come to me for a custom program 😆

If I can go from not being able to run a mile in January and then get to august and can run 8 miles in under an hour can I get under 3 hours for a marathon?

[@kevinhanover5001]

if that’s a long term goal then go for it! go through the process!

[@charliipresley]

I run 300ish miles a month but how the F do people run even a single mile sub-6:00???

[@richardmiddleton7770]

Speed work. Do 6 minute pace for 2 minutes, walk or slow jog for 1 minute and repeat. Gradually increase the time spent at 6 min pace but keep the rest period at 1 minute.
