Hey mate. Just wondering if you’ve done any all out efforts on a treadmill, and if so, how they compare to your outdoor times? Context: I’ve got a treadmill that was calibrated 3 months ago, and I set it to a 1% incline for all my runs. I recently did a 5 km in 19:37 and a 1 k at I think 3:17. However, my outside running is absolute rubbish. If I try to keep my 5 k pace on a (cambered) bitumen road, it’s a struggle just to hold it for 1 km! Doable, but certainly not easy. I’ve only spoke to 1 or 2 other people about it, and experiences seem mixed. So I guess I was just wondering what your experience was since you seem to find outdoor running a lot easier than I do.

It's been brilliant watching you again over the year. You worked hard to get where you have

47 weeks seems like a pretty long time to be training for a 10k.

An average man can only dream of those splits 😮

Love this

Aj I enjoy your weekly videos! Love your analysis on your running/fitness and constantly trying to improve! Trying to adopt this in my own running and fitness

Congrats. That ending of the marathon is definitely 🔥.

I'm an 18 year old biological female and the past two years there were 3 trans runners who happened to win every track meet can you advise.

I was hoping that this event would get back up and running next year after the lack of support from QLD parks. It is a cool idea chasing a train 😃

Have you ever used a waist lamp for night running? I was watching a recent 100mile ultra and they were using both head lamps and waist. The waist one seems to spread the ground a lot more compared to a head spreading further ahead. You need to get the IT department to buy you a sit/stand tower for you desk. Do you think it is still a little sore from using muscles you don't usually use doing also moving the soil

Great video AJ

Fantastic video! I experienced exactly the same when training for a 70.3 Ironman, I couldn’t do speed work because my shins would blow up, so I just worked on bumping up my weekly mileage and would sprinkle in some harder runs with hills or sub threshold runs and it directly increased my 10k/half marathon times and it was all “easy long runs”

That’s awesome mate !

This is a great video! Maybe a shorter intro and it’s a TH-cam running classic.

that was great

Great Video

What if you started this video at 1:48

Have you tried coffee?

Thanks for the nipple chafing update.

Nice glasses dude. What glasses are those?

A blood test can see if you are lacking anything, low iron levels can cause low energy.

We have Whooping cough going through all of our schools down here. Hopefully he doesn't have that there is a lot of kids coughing down here. Have you done a sweat test to see what water and sodium replacements you need? I have been researching what I can do to help me maintain myself to achieve an ultra next year nutrition wise. I am trying to approach my runs and fitness with both pre run nutrition aswell as recovery. I definitely think it will help you feel better ❤ Your body always seems to pet you know when you are missing something or it needs assistance.

Your videos are very good and your editing skills are excellent, but your videos are not reaching many people. The main reason for this is that your videos are not SEO optimized. I am a TH-cam video SEO expert and would like to optimize your videos. "And I would like to help move forward with monetizing your TH-cam channel." ar you interested in this?

More from the kid next time. Best insights this season.

I'm also really here for the classic Simpsons drop-ins 🤣

Looks like a smart bit of kit!

Can you please include a content warning before you include a topless clip from the pool?

wish we had showers at my office. I live in Florida, I used to fast walk at lunch during the winter months, but I don't want to stink everyone out of my office.. LOL

Ohhhh so that’s how you do it. Interesting.

Really good week mate. Mindset matters. Keep going...and be kind to yourself. You're doing so well 😊

So interesting! I was a first timer and much slower then you, but I had the same feeling at the 32km mark as soon as we started back towards the city- I knew I’d be finishing, was like a mental reset.

Superbly put together and so many positives to work on and shape. Loved watching this one. Keep checking that medal to remind you what you are capable of. Awesome 🤝

This probably is the most honest and most useful recap of the Sydney marathon. So helpful. I will be aiming to do my first one next year. This video deserves more views.

Who videoed you getting out of bed? Asking for Kate.

Congrats on finishing. Same experience at the end. Got to the end of botanic gardens, didn’t see anything, went home. I’m sure they will fix/change next year. Provide your feedback to even organisers via their survey.

Absolutely loved this! I ran Sydney as my first marathon (finished with a 4.03), and the breakdown of key areas in the race as well as those milestones of getting over the 35K and 40K hills were so damn relatable. Well done on your result, AJ. I’ll be signing up for Gold Coast Marathon in 2025, so hope to see you there!

I had a very similar experience! I got there early and it was freezing so I decided to jog around for a bit but there was nowhere to run. I went out of the park to run on a side street but a marshal was telling people to leave and get back in the park. Pretty weird, we were all in the park with nowhere to go and nothing to do. That was strange! Then getting in the starting corral and standing for 1 hour with no toilets and no room to move was unnecessary. I really needed to pee again before I even crossed the start line (had had only 600ml of electrolyte and 500ml of water and Maurten 320). I reckon they need to fix those things next year. Also had a similar experience around 34K where my tummy felt funny and I decided to delay the intake of more gels. Definitely the right call!

great recap mate! I enjoyed reliving it through your commentary.

An excellent recap. You are right to be proud of your race. Well done

Great recap

Well done, brilliant running

Sydney do! 😂 Fantastic nerdy recap. Very inspirational for my first marathon coming in less than two weeks. Cheers.

Watching from the Caribbean. Truly enjoyed this.

to be honest, this is my favorite video on your channel, i loved every minute. You have all the reason to be super proud, what you accomplished. Looking back a few years your mindset has changed so much, it is just amazing, and i am truely happy for you. I remember how much you hated your first time trial marathon, and you did not want to do another one, and now look at you, you really love running and put your mind in the right place, just joy to watch your growth as a runner and as a person. Congratulations

Thanks for sharing your experience! :) Not only Sydney Marathon planned uphill on last km of run, Cracow Marathon (Poland 🇵🇱) did same this year 😂

I'd been looking forward to this one for so long. I'm absolutely buzzing for you. You really kept your head at 20k and didn't panic. You controlled things so well. The best bit for me was when you said, ' I'm feeling strong, I've got this....yes!' This vlog will inspire me to try and break 4hr 30 in my Marathon in 4 weeks time. You absolutely deserved your brilliant PB. Awesome mate.

goodonya, it was fun watching this. I ran last year but couldn't get the training in this year, I was so insanely jealous seeing the weather this year's runners got. Last year's heat was bruuutal, especially coming off a chilly winter training season. so many medical emergencies around mrs. macquarie's chair. I've got unfinished business with this race, will have to check back in the next year or two. Did you find the course improved this year?

Great Video AJ
