There are NO DAYS OFF in Marathon Training

In this week's episode of our FORDY RUNS Weekly Vlog, marathon training continues despite a packed weekend of parkrun, national running show and other distractions! It is important to stay focussed when marathon training and keep up the consistency!

Thanks for showing us the show… my idea of hell eeek to many people 😂

I was tempted to skip my long run today due to a sore calf and some niggles on the other foot. Watched Fordy, laced up and went out for 26k. Turned out to be one of my best runs so far, feeling effortless at a lower heart rate despite faster pace than usual. NO DAYS OFF saved my day!

legend status achieved

[@FordyRuns]

[@James-Henderson]

It was fab to catch up with you at the NEC. See you in Brighton

[@FordyRuns]

great to see you mate

[@chrissmith1064]

I went out for a long run yesterday at 6am. Before my boys footy training and work. No pre fuel. Hit the wall early. Walked in the last mile for a 8 mile run. Sore legs today. Usually do 12-15 on a Sunday afternoon no problem.

[@FordyRuns]

Prob just a one off mate

[@chrissmith1064]

Cheers for the encouragement. That’s what I’ve put it down to. Onwards and upwards. Roll on Rome, roll on London.

Good job you were wearing the NovaBlast 5 in those icy conditions 😬

[@FordyRuns]

i was wearing the hyperion elite 4

[@adamdenovan2554]

Them new Skechers look amazing

[@FordyRuns]

yeah looking forward to those

[@MarkSmith_Best-Athletics]

What are them new Speedbeast replacements called Fordy and any news on a likely release date?

[@alfdickinson1971]

That NEC thing looks a complete waste of time, like a race expo but without the bib pick up and race!

[@FordyRuns]

yeah not great but hopefully next year better

[@idawson998]

I swear the NEC carpark is the coldest place on the planet

[@FordyRuns]

It is!!!!

[@AubreyRunning]

I was in this video… yyyeeesss!!!! I even saw my little man!!!!!

[@andrewstorm8240]

It’s a good show but too small, crowded

[@FordyRuns]

It’s coz they had no exhibitiors and crammed them into half the hall 🤦‍♂️

[@andrewstorm8240]

@ exhibitors - like big brands?
