Training For A Sub 3 Marathon | 7 Weeks Out

[@javierquintero9640]

Looking at your Strava profile you should be able to cruise to a 3 hour marathon no problem. You ran a 1:14 half which equates to a 2:35 full. 3 hours should be like a long easy run for you

[@matthewlubey9316]

yeah he will absolutely blow it out the park

[@RandallsReviews]

32 year old male in Chicago here, only a few minutes off from getting my first sub 2 hour half marathon. It’s great to see other like-minded individuals like yourself who are putting in the work (you’re definitely faster than me though!). The running community is a great one. Keep on grinding my friend.

[@aregul12]

It was -4 Fahrenheit (-20 c ) this morning where I live in Canada. Your cold weather sounds like my summer aha :D

[@elijahorr]

Hahaha that’s so gnarly!!!

[@roglSimpson]

Hi fellow Canadian! :) And on Thursday it got down to -20F (-29C) real feel because of the windchill, here in Alberta. Still went out for a run, but it was for sure gnarly :D

[@Runderestimated]

Loving the training vlogs, Following along for motivation!!

[@brandonkerr93]

I’ve ran that river trail so many times before my first marathon! No where near as fast as you. But I moved back to my hometown late 2019, so I’m back in the desert 100 miles away from Long Beach. Best of luck to you on the sub 3, your going to kill it

[@matthewlubey9316]

3 hours will be so easy for you. I ran a 2:54:08 marathon at 16 and my easy runs were no near as fast. For sure you will get sub 2:40:00 Just crush some 18-22 mile long runs and you got that time easily

[@jovanmampusti4025]

bro, your hair is gorgeous!

[@elijahorr]

Hahaha thank you man!

[@1world2coexist]

Great vid. I'm always looking for channels about running (as I'm new to running and just did my 1st marathon) and it's always a gem to me when the influencer is in training for a race. Looking forward to more vids.

[@OmarAbdulMalikDHEdMPASPACPAPro]

Hi. I'm a new subscriber. We have a trail like this in Washington, D.C. It's the C & O canal trail. There are races run on it; 5K to ultras. There is the Crescent trail too. Both run parallel to the Potomac river. I never broke 3 hours. I ran a 3:02 in the Marine Corps Marathon; so close 😭!

[@chaoscrewfamily732]

Love the training videos my man. I signed up for my first marathon in May. Let's get it!!!

[@troyhkilgore498]

Keep working hard, you got this! Sub 3 coming your way. Can't wait to back out to Cali next year! #Californiadreamin from Boulder, CO.

[@elijahorr]

Me and my girl and trying to make it out to Colorado hopefully soon dude!

[@troyhkilgore498]

You make it to Boulder sometime we would gladly host you and your girl with a place to stay, seriously. I'm the GM at a Sushi restaurant in town so you'd have endless access to unlimited 🍣 too.

[@sylvainbauge]

I'm also someone whose hands get really cold but it's much colder here than where you are. Sub 30 in the morning.

[@Mr_Fairdale]

Cold hands crew checking in 🙌 ❄️

[@FamousFella1]

What was the green juice you drank prior to your run?

[@johnporterfield7082]

Sub 3 hour I like the sound of that you will achieve it eventually good luck

[@matthewlubey9316]

nah, he will get way faster. Probably 2:45:00 even sub 2:40:00

[@nimagholipour]

Good job 😊 👍🏻. I always enjoy your videos and can't wait for another one. But may I ask you do you have a coach or do you run base on your own training plan? How do you get recover from work and these much training which are usually long runs? Because I also work in a restaurant and I do go for running 4 days per week with 2 sessions of weight training, I really feel that I'm very tired. What would be your suggestion base on your experiences? Thanks

[@interpol900]

The river trail is awesome to see every time. Terminator 2 :)

[@kf430]

Hair looking great!

[@benjamin.kelley]

Lol been running in 30 degree rain the last few weeks. 17 miles in rain and 25mph wind last week wasn't optimal, but it was necessary.

[@j_turnbow]

Do you follow the MAF method? What’s your avg heart rate on the majority of your runs?

[@johntrigazis3244]

I don’t think he does but I might be wrong

[@ehills8488]

You can take a look at his runs on strava

[@ReubenStrickett]

The fact that in America you drive 5 minutes to get to a run just baffles me. City design is not at all built for people...

[@justindsalinas]

Sub 3 shouldn’t be a problem for you! Good luck

[@cicirunner]

Sub 3? Come on bro

[@SOULxSOCIETY]

You could already run a sub 3 marathon, at your fitness level, I bet you will run a 2:50.

[@fillup07]

I would guess even lower! Especially with the nice California weather.

[@johntrigazis3244]

agreed if he truly is running his easy miles at 7:10 sub 3 should be a breeze

[@matthewlubey9316]

way faster then 2:50:00. I don't even have near as good as fitness as him and ran a 2:54 marathon for my first

[@luisatorres7247]

Elijah! I'm a hairstylist and I gotta say, I freaking LOVE your hair - do not cut it!

[@hmunoz314]

1:56 It's a beautiful day to run!

[@johnsimpson4815]

I dig the new floors

[@elijahorr]

Ayyy appreciate it man!

[@jamesgogur1678]

You should run the marathon with the Gopro and get us some POV action!

[@elijahorr]

That’s the plan!

[@gorytv9847]

Bro I run 1:25:00 in the half and ran 2:53:21 full. You’re gonna run sub 2:40 at least.

[@aaron5keaveney]

how do u decide what shoes you train in/race in?

[@holdengreenlaw3004]

What happened to the BM goal?

[@DariusB127]

What watch is E using here?

[@antoniosolari1377]

Lets get itttttttttttttt

[@elijahorr]

Yessirrr

[@shannonwalsh4402]

Where…is the river?

[@eksdeeee4113]

46 degrees? Obvious American vibes😄. Just kidding bro, your videos are just 🧡

[@elijahorr]

Anybody else running the Surf City Half or full in February?

[@jelleeeee]

Been following you for quite a while now. Really like your content and mentality. This march im running my first half marathon in my country the Netherlands. Keep up the good work!

[@theprofesser85]

I’m running the half in surf city as part of my prep for Boston 2022 - just ran the LA marathon in 2:57. I know you must get this a lot but your Strava feed shows that you are running way to fast for your easy runs and you’re not getting 1-2 quality longer runs in. This may explain your plantar injury earlier this year. Would love to train together sometime - I live in Santa Monica and seems like we’re shootings for the same times.

[@matthewlubey9316]

If you like running in Hoka. I suggest the carbon X 2 for racing. Ran my first marathon in them recently and got 2:54. On another note if I got a 2:54 at 16 and not as much fitness as you,you will for sure get sub 2:40

[@Erin60147]

That’s a very sad looking river.

[@elijahorr]

Yeah it’s definitely seen better days haha

[@RickKanesGhost]

That’s not cold at all

[@DublinDapper]

3 hours wouldn't even be a challenge for you...I dont get it

[@connorsmith7666]

Lift weights
