What I Wish I Knew Before Running A Marathon
Got an engage jacket new for 175 in a certain shopping website! I can justify that much so all I would say is if you won’t pay it full price there are other ways to get a much fairer deal! I used to wonder whether shopping in these platforms was a good thing ! Now, I can’t think of anything better than paying another Joe instead of a company that make more than enough!
👍👍👍
Great tips, watched the full video! Great channel 🏃🏃
@@yatesyej thank you 💪
Awesome, I’ll give this a try 👌
@@Goggins12347 Great! Let me know how it goes 👌
Many thanks
Keep em coming
@@bhanukharbanda7956 will do 💪
These are great ideas, thanks! I especially agree with the no eating before running (in the morning) idea, as I recently found I was able to race the Irish Runner 10 miler comfortably without food - I was 12-hour fasted and during the run all I had was some water in 2 of the 4 water stations. Surprisingly when I do have food before or during runs I'm miserable and hungry in the second half, probably due to sugar crashes. It's only above 90 minutes running that we need to replenish our glycogen reserves apparently.
@@aliasgharkhoyee9501 that’s so true! I think a lot of people eat because they think it’s the right thing to do and end up with stomach issues. Glad you found the video useful and well done on completing the 10 miler 💪
This was my first marathon. The end of the race had me suffering. Running it again next year.
@@J_bixby great job on your first marathon 💪
I'm a weightlifting guy, and never enjoyed or was good at running, but zone training has massively changed my outlook on it. I used to just go out on a 5k and try to hold my target pace and then inevitably get annoyed when I'd drop off pace and struggle towards the end. Mentally it's really disheartening too. Recently I got a HR monitor and went out for an hour, trying to keep my HR pinned at 145 bpm and was surprised at how slow it felt, but the nice thing about it is that, while I'd usually kill myself on the uphills to hold pace, I could just keep an eye on my HR and ease off as it started to climb. It made me realise that I've effectively been running for 25 minutes continuously at close to, and sometimes in, zone 5 lol (which I now realise was insanity - no wonder I wasn't enjoying my runs). I can see now how people can genuinely enjoy running.
@@rhidiandavies1991 great comment, glad you’re now enjoying your running 💪 zone training is a game changer for some many
Underated!
@@Arr-runz 💪
i did the broad street in may and took some light weeks to not lose all my fitness. just began a marathon training block and im slightly concerned that im running 30-60 seconds slower a mile than i was when i peaked for that race. the workouts seem too fast atm but it goes back to what you said i am capable of running at these paces because i have done it before, just need to get back in the groove.
@@DTOWNRW16 you’ll be back there soon enough, keep training hard 💪
Great tips! I definitely could improve my form, I run too much on my heels so hopefully your suggestion can help me go toes first. Thanks 🏃🏃🏃
Its expensive. bloody expensive! Paramo - not always great style but I think unbeatable performance. Swazi - more "tough" than typical outwear being more of a hunting brand. bulletproof (and cheaper). Fjallraven I think is a different thing, G1000 and the wool outwear is amazing but you wont stay dry (warm yes!). Thu Dark ski wear is really really cool ! i also really like everything I have bought from Jottnar. That fits very well, works great and some who looks really expensive. Finish is great.
@@XabiA11 jottnar is one that keeps coming up, I’ll check it out!
I am new to your channel, great, honest review, have you reviewed Jottnaar yet? another ex forces led brand, apologies if you already have 👍I am a sucker for Fjallraven and just cant see by that brand right now
@@TheAlzo999 thank you! I’ve not come across Jottnaar, I’ll check it out!
@@harryruns1 pretty sure they’re 2 ex Royal Marines who set up the brand, I’ve heard big things about them. Again high end prices, I’ll probably pull the pin on something from them soon.
Had a tour of their HQ and there's not a British flag in sight. Plenty of Union Jack patches on their clothing that's made in Portugal though 🤦♂
Great tips! I have been in a rut since my last marathon but have just started back running again and trying to eat less rusbish! Ill try some of your tips. 🏃🏃
@@yatesyej thanks, best of luck with your training 💪
Its also good to sometimes be inconsistent and have a break. Gives a reset to go again
@@SwimBikeRunStu yeah 100%, sometimes a period of inconsistency leads to finding that motivation again 👌
This was a great video. I was extremely lean and ripped until about 4-5 months ago. Where depression took over my life. I'd just eat to manage my feelings. And it has been a struggle since to get back into my routine of eating in a calorie deficit. But this video has given me new hope. If i remember i'll update ya all in 3 months or so with how these tips worked for me. I think what you've shared might be some of the best advice and honest advice ive heard in a really long time. Thank you just saying it as it is. Definitely subbing! :)
@@alexthomsen7258 thanks Alex. I’m sorry to hear about your struggles with depression but I’m so glad you’re starting to get back to healthier habits. Hope it goes well and make sure to report back 💪

This is gold. Great video mate. I've been searching for a goal that motivated me for a while now. Haven't settled on anything but haven't given it this type of focused thought. Will give it a go, and choose something that really gets me motivated.
@@markg99 thanks Mark! Best of luck, I’m sure you’ll smash it 💪
Anyone I see in Thrudark I instantly think what a bellend
@@Daveyboy44 😂 fair enough
It’s as bad as Gymshark if not worse
@@Daveyboy44 each to their own
Think about it properly Two guys do what no man should ever do and sell a brand that looks like the SAS capbadge Shame on them and god help them
It’s become a common theme now People leaving and saying they are ex SF These people are no longer welcome in the SF community Money talks and it says a lot about a man who does what they do
Thanks for the tips and best of luck for your next sub 3 hour marathon attempt
@@JohnSmith-rx2uv thanks John! 💪
hey can i ask how to deal with shin splints? I've had to ditch running anywhere near as frequently as I want and bought a cheapy rowing machine just to maintain cardio regularly. I think it's because of years of sedentary (software dev so permanently hunched over a desk for the last 5+ years). 10 years ago I was in great shape, playing rugby for school and club, tennis a bit as well. But since then I went from approx 75kg to literally 100kg so i reckon my legs just couldn't hack it when i started running a couple months ago. Any advice appreciated, it's real painful to push through at the moment. EDIT i've lost 10kg since hitting 100kg with diet change and regular cardio, so im still able to do enough exercise, but i want to now push much more with running but im held back by the shin splint pain. I could never do a 10miler with this for example, but I did the great south run for 3 years running about 10 years ago and want to get back to that level and beyond it. Thanks.
@@chris94kennedy hey Chris First of all congrats on losing 10kg, that’s amazing! Shin splints is a tricky one. If it’s caused by running then you want to build up your mileage really steadily. Your body will get used to higher training volumes it just takes time and rushing yourself into big mileage weeks could make things worse. I would definitely recommend cross training and resistance training to. Cardio that doesn’t set off your shin splints such as a stationary bike or cross trainer, although it’s not what you want to do initially, will allow you to increase your running volume over time without overusing and injuring your shins. Consistency is always better than upping your training by too much too quickly, small increases are the way to go. Best of luck 💪
@@harryruns1 thanks for the advice. Problem is that i've been trying to go hard to habit form as much as possible and i want to capitalise on the motivation while it's strong but i will try to follow that advice
Great video. I did Brighton in 3:54 in April. Aiming for 3:30 in Abingdon
Thank you! Best of luck with your training! 💪
The problem I have is mates rates or loyalty card. I went for WRAITH woke up at 0600hrs on the day it came out and all 3xl black sold out. Its bs the kit is great my phalanx fleece had for over two years and is still as good as the day I bought it. But this is bollocks in my opinion so I will no longer be purchasing from them but I wish them success 🙏
Great video Harry!
@@danielmller4682 thanks Daniel 💪
May I ask how you think the zodiac jacket fits is it true to size?
It's pretty true to size, it comes up slightly bigger than other comparable brands I'd say
Late to the party here but I’ve seen some people wearing this in public and it SCREAMS Walt🤣 balcony operator wannabe’s
🤣 Yep I can definitely see that
You could apply this critique to most brands. Good luck to ThruDark - very interesting brand.
Good honest review mate, I used to love them but feel the quality has massively gone down hill lately. I think it maybe down to them spreading there selves too thin. It feels like they’re just sticking a TD badge on anything at the moment from cycling gear to flannel shirts. It’s funny you say you wouldn’t wear a Rab to the pub where as serving lads wouldn’t wear TD stuff to the pub( I don’t know many that would wear it at all) totally agree ref gym t shirts they’re v comfy and well made but no real difference from the likes of gymshark
Yeah I'd agree with that, I think the quality is maybe not what it once was
The innovation these guys bring in technical outdoor wear is unrivalled
Like their bad support and ticket system is unrivalled too :D
I want to like Thrudark more than I do. The military aspect is kind of cool (which they do push, just observing not judging), but the big draw would be a UK brand that is top level. I don’t like the cut of their trousers (too skinny at the ankles and still, bizarrely have Velcro adjusters to cinch them down) and I’ve found their sizing to not be the most consistent. I find their advertising / marketing too pushy and edgy, lovely looking website but often difficult to see details of garments. Very high pricing. Some odd seam placement on a Centurion jacket (I am constantly aware/conscious of them when wearing under a hard shell). That said, some of their items I love in terms of function. Like I said, I want to like them more…..but it’s not easy. Also, I wish they made a hard shell that had a stowable hood. But then I wish that about other companies too.
i don't struggle with running a certain "fast" tempo for a couple of kilometers maybe even up to 15km. However i never manage to keep that pace for a whole marathon. for the intervals (1k with rest) i can run like a minute/k faster than said tempo pace. How can i improve my longtime endurance for those marathons?
Honestly I would focus on fast repeats increasing in distance. I’d start with something like 8x400m at a 9/10 building up to mile repeats. I’ve found this coupled with long slow zone two work works best for me 👌
@@harryruns1 thanks
One more thing: for true quality comparison one has to check likes of Arc'teryx Leaf, not North Face or similar mid market brands. ThruDark is OK even if overpriced, but not nearly top notch in anything but their online advertising.
Every time I buy thrudark im whola shat that hurt . When it arrives I’m like wow over engineered worth every penny or whatever you call your money..
I have some of their stuff (out of curiosity) and find it mediocre in quality and design. Thread ends hanging loose, sloppy run of the mill design. Made in Portugal does not mean a thing when likes of Arc'teryx can source perfect quality from China and Bangladesh. It is the attitude, quality control and the machinery used that matters, not the country where it is done in. They are riding reasonably successfully on the image alone, I have to admit that. Consistent advertising speaking loudly to wannabe Black Operators (like me, but I also have ranger background). One example of the design problem: Cargo pockets in their shorts: Top brand Arc'teryx can design thigh pockets which are almost unnoticeable when empty (Combat Pants gen2 as an example), and still function as dump pockets when needed. 5.11 Tactical has similar cargo pockets in their Stryker pants and shorts, flat sewn front AND several inner compartments for phone etc, stuff is not just sloshing around there. What has ThruDark designed: just a big ugly box sewn into the pant thigh, flapping around empty or full. They need to rethink several things to stay in the run. They are not a serious contender yet.
I’ve got a few bits and the quality is top notch. But I’ve never paid full price and get blue light discount as well as wait till the sales come. Plus I got my Recoil coat second hand. £400 was way too much, but half that represented value IMO.
I have various selection of their clothing and so far been happy with the quality and style.
Yep Shroud works a treat and it’s warm/rainproof
Got loads of this gear..great quality and classy..I refuse to buy or wear anything though with huge logos on ...
Yes.
I have got a load of there kit and love all of it. My Raid jacket was 550 quid but it gets worn to work most of the year , lobbing a heavy ruck sack on and off in the day. still as good as new and it is 4 years old now. well worth the money. Loads of comments about the T shirts, wash and tumble dry mine and never had an issue
Yeah most of my kit is great to. I’ve had one t shirt of theirs shrink but overall everything I’ve had has been decent. Thanks for watching
If you’re someone who actually does hiking, climbing, adventures stuff often then I think majority of the clothing is fairly reasonably priced. If you’re none of those things and just like the clothing then it is definitely no point in getting them other than a few t-shirts that are on the cheaper end.
Yeah agree with that. Worth the price tag if it’s for a specific pursuit
Your definition of tempo run isn't conventional... it's usually defined as the pace you can hold for an hour approximately. The run itself is then 20-30 minutes at that pace
Great tips thanks 👍
Well done mate. I’m running this next year and hope to get a similar time as what you got 👍 🏅🏅🏅
Congratulations! I can learn some things from you on how to execute on nutrition and hydration.
Thank you! 💪
Yes sir ✅
Appreciate the video. Having improved from 4:22 to 3:55 in 4 marathons, I think volume made the most difference. Maxed out at 41 miles/week in my first block and up to 53 miles in the most recent. Also helpful was better fueling, going from 4 GU's to 8 SIS gels - I find the SIS gels easier, more syrup than paste. Hoping to increase mileage and speedwork this next block and shoot for 3:45.
That's a great improvement Layne! Volume is definitely a huge factor, I'm always surprised at how much of an impact more gels seem to have on me to. Best of luck in your quest for 3:45! 💪
Great tips!! Running fast doesn't come naturally to me either but hoping to beat my PB.
Thanks for watching 💪
