Valencia Marathon 2024 EP4 - Race Week

RACE WEEK - 16/16 of my Valencia Marathon 2024 training build. I’ll walk you through my race day kit, my carb-loading issues, and how I’m planning to fuel during the marathon. Is the elusive sub-3-hour finish possible?

Good to hear that you feel like you're moving forward, I know the spring marathon just gone had you feeling the opposite. Confidence is everything in this game I'm learning, and I hope that you can take Confidence from how you've turned it round since then. Let's go smash it up mate 💪🏻 See you on the streets of Valencia!

Will we see a cheeky andy x wu collab in valencia?

[@TheWu]

Absolutely done!

[@bakesy_SA]

All the best mate! I’ll be rooting for you out there 🎉

[@kypdur4746]

All the best for Sunday and enjoy the day. Go on The Wu!

[@kento8648]

Good luck tomorrow! Whatever happens enjoy it and all the drums that help you concentrate. Especially the 40km roundabout that's all downhill towards the blue carpet 😁

[@davidmrowe]

Good luck this weekend. You've got this. Best of luck also to your brother.

[@Martin_Edmondson]

Hays in the barn, don't worry too much about times over the half months ago. It's going to be your day! Go for it.

Hi Will, really interesting video, nicely produced too. It’s funny, I would have been at MAN at the same as you, we flew to Madeira on Fri 29th at 2pm! Passing ships eh😊I tracked you at VLC so know the outcome but I didn’t want to watch the VLC video that just dropped before this lead up video. Interesting chat about your arm/running efficiency etc, at your level these things can probably add the 1-2% to your result. I’m hoping for a better 2025😊

[@TheWu]

Ah yes we were at T3 very busy terminal. I hear Madeira is fab, my parents went before. Are there any races there?

[@Stevenc1984]

Best of luck for Sunday! 🤞🏻

[@Ligerpride]

Enjoy sir. You have some amazing times in the bank.

[@emma_mareee]

[@HTB6493]

[@David-it2nt]

Best of luck Will

[@AnthonyZafiris]

CMON The Wu….. your journey is epic

[@emanuelsantos5585]

[@sambassett5]

Good luck on Sunday, I'm going for a similar time and in the pink wave (6410)

[@robbristle5642]

Nice vlog. Way to go.

[@FlagBreaker1]

Enjoy it !

[@ryanb8580]

Good luck mate

[@markg99]

It's so weird how a taper causes all that stuff. I might stop doing them 😅 Best of luck on race day 👍

[@TheWu]

I actually thought that once, what would happen if i just turned up without a taper and ran it like a hard long run 🤔

[@roberto8563]

Good luck Will. If you get the chance, can you drop in which laces you got for your pro 3's. Have already replaced mine but they're still giving me bother.

[@TheWu]

Yup - www.mr-lacy.co.uk/products/runnies-hydrophobic-shoelaces-white

[@derekpugh5457]

Have a great run, I hope you consider a Sports Psychology route in the future maybe ?

[@TheWu]

thanks, not sure I have really.

[@simonrunc8067]

Haha, I want to see you cramping and hobbling over that finish line in 2:59:58.

[@markanthonygolez6314]

You ran 3:00:09 before. I believe you can get that sub 3 ❤

[@solefreak2]

Think you're on the same flight as me!

[@Bijits2510]

How did the race go?

[@TheWu]
