    What insights do y'all have? Do you agree that breakfast should be much earlier? Alphafly 3 causing calf cramps? Not splitting miles in a race? Would love to know all of your thoughts on these things!

      About 3 hours before is probably the optimal time to eat breakfast

      Matt fox from sweat elite talks about the rollers in Indy helping spread out the load on your legs and give some of your muscle groups a brief respite.
      From running Indy in the past, the miles between 12-16 feel great. I think it’s because of those slight hills! Could be a reason for no cramps 🤷🏼‍♂️

      Honestly brother I think you carb load so well leading up to the race to the point where in the mornings for breakfast the couple of scoops of G1M and electrolytes are all that you need.
      Along with taking a gel before the start and gels during, while carrying more g1m in the handheld. I think this would work perfectly for you.
      The bagel, go bar and banana may be too much. Truly believe you could do without it

    I went from 3:09 to 2:52 in the marathon all in this year and a lot of that improvement came from the advice you shared Floberg so thank you so much ! I’m looking to hopefully running under 2:50 next year ! Keep up the good work with what you do bro!

    After 6 marathons I'm starting to realize that eating dinner 15-16 hours before the race seems to sit well for me. 3:00pm dinner reservations for a 7:00am race. And that's a hearty dinner but not over-eating. Then a light snack before bed if I'm feeling it and a moderate breakfast (oatmeal, banana, and LMNT) the morning of the race. All together, I hit 625g and 675g of carbs the two days before the race and that felt good (I'm 187lbs so I know these numbers will differ for everyone)!

    • @flobergruns
      @flobergruns  3 วันที่ผ่านมา +4

      I think this will be the move for me going forward. Probably closer to 5pm for me on dinner, and then not eating before bed. The past few days, I started cutting out eating within 2 hours of bedtime, and it's changing everything for me. Also gonna go for a lighter breakfast on race day morning for sure.

      @@flobergruns I think you're onto something there. Historically, I've always over-ate during the carb load because I didn't want to fade in the late miles. This time I carb loaded less and ran a 2 min negative split (and a 7 min PR). Maybe less is more, to a certain extent.

    Cramping is a multi-cause issue. Many people attribute it to dehydration and loss of electrolytes. Some attribute it to lack of leg strength. What I have seen in my own experience over my last 4 marathons is that staying at or above threshold too long seems to lead to lower leg cramping in the later stages of the marathon. And I think this is due to the body diverting blood flow to the cardio system and starving the extremities. I experienced cramps in 2 of those marathons, both doing heavy fluid/electrolyte intake, but I flirted with threshold too long and too early. The other 2 marathons I was 3-5 beats below threshold until 32k and was then able to push hard to the finish without cramping. Planning to execute staying 3-5BPM below threshold at Boston, until I hit the top of Heart Break and see if I again am able to push hard to the finish without cramping.

    11:45 was the danger zone - acorns were pounding us lol. I manually split my watch every few miles to get back on track and make sure my pace was right - which really screwed me up around mile 16. My breakdown video is coming soon as well. Great to race along(behind)side you dude 🤟

    My thoughts :
    1. You heart rate is lower at Indy, because it was cooler
    2. Calf cramps, definitely Nike (I run in Adidas, tried Nike for a 24 miles long run with marathon effort and had similar issues)
    3. Try Engo 2 glasses (might help you to stay focused and less distracted by constantly checking your watch)
    4. Try not eating breakfast before the race, just a drink Maurten 320 (Ryan Hall did that)

    In my very non expert opinion I would say weather conditions were the driving force on the HR difference but also HR ranges can vary significantly depending on how rested/ stressed you are. I have noticed hr zones being significantly different during a build, peaking, and recovering/ resuming training.

    GREAT effort Flo and especially considering you did it a few weeks after Chicago. I ran 2:26:42 on the Indy course in 2011 and yes, there are some hills on that course trying to get the 2012 OT standard which back then was 2:19:00 (PR is 2:19.35). 4 weeks later tried again and did 2:32.24 at CIM in 2011. It is VERY tough to try 2 marathons in the span of about 3-4 weeks. I only did that once in my career, NEVER again., Awesome work man! You will run well below 2:30 in due time and I bet one day under 2:20.

    Well done with the marathon 💪. My personal thoughta, having ran Chicago, was the heat and humidity played a factor for my cramping. If i get cramp, its usually at mile 24. Chicago was at 16. I do think humidity and lack of water (crappy paper cups) was the reason. Also i am an Alphafly fan boy so i would never blame them 😂

    • @flobergruns
      @flobergruns  3 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    I also wore Alphaflys at Indy and have worn the Saucony elites in all of my past races. I regretted by mile 14 in Indy wearing the Alphaflys. I think on race day I like the more responsive snappy feel of the Saucony’s than the mechanical feel of the Alphaflys. I also had issues with cramping in the Alphaflys and never had that issue in my Saucony’s.

  • @liamthedadd

    I ran my Half with just heart rate (a very hilly course) and so I wanted to use hr as an indicator of effort going up and down hills, and it was so encouraging when I would check my pace every now and again to see that I was running faster than I thought I would be at that heart rate!
    My strategy was:
    1:Go off heart rate to make sure you don’t go out too hard
    2: see what pace that heart rate is
    3: settle into that ‘pace’ but just go by the feel for the rest of the race based on the feeling of the hr/pace data.
    4:rip it at the end

  • @jordancarrington9866
    @jordancarrington9866 2 วันที่ผ่านมา

    One thing to think about with the carb load is water and electrolyte intake to match the increased carb intake. It takes your body more water to break down carbs and if the water intake doesn’t match it could upset your gut.

    What marathoners seem to miss most frequently is that all race paces are a percentage of your max speed plus an efficiency at that pace. If Eric’s all out sprint speed is only 15mph and current marathon pace is 10.X mph, imagine how much easier marathon pace will feel if we get that all out speed up 2-3 mph! You get better at marathon pace by training at it but you get faster and make bigger jumps by becoming a complete runner at faster paces, not just a marathoner. People just get into the high mileage and long workouts of marathon block after marathon block too comfortably.

    I've done 2 marathons, both being Indy, and I've found that eating 3ish hours before has worked pretty good for me. I did notice that this year if you weren't running with a pace group after the half marathon split off, you are just in no mans land for the rest of the race which is definitely a just miss on the race

    Hi Eric! About the racing shoes maybe you should consider your running efficiency. Probably your stride in the endorphin elite is just a little better, and over the 26.2 miles makes the difference (for cramps too).

  • @jakeofert9143
    @jakeofert9143 3 วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    Having tried both Saucony Endorphin Elites and Alpha flys for a marathon, I have only calf cramped with the alpha flys. I think my weaker/smaller calf muscles are used while running with alpha flys therefore causing them to get over overworked and cramp.

    • @flobergruns
      @flobergruns  3 วันที่ผ่านมา

    It’s so hard to isolate one variable in a marathon. I think that’s what is so fun about it. I really think and this is unfortunate a massive determining factor is the weather. Indy was a great race for weather but if it wasn’t I could’ve easily run barely 3:20 vs 3:13. My thoughts moving forward are be in the shape that I want to be in for my target goal and adjust accordingly depending on the day

    @aitorarotzena2550 วันที่ผ่านมา

    Doing a full marathon seeing only the heart rate in your watch seems really crazy to me. I couldn't do it without pace, distance or something else. However I do believe that heart rate is a key factor in order to pace a marathon. I hacen't figured ir out yet but I hope I can in the near future (I was prepping for a marathon last Sunday but it got cancelled due to 120kph winds).
    Last week I listened to a very interesting podcast regarding pacing a marathon putting emphasis in the heart rate. The title of the episode is "How to pace your next marathon" by "The physiology of endurance running podcast". Maybe it's interesting for you so take a listen if you want to! (They didn't pay me to promote their podcast)

    big congrats on indy and chicago this Fall. Excited to see what marathon or other distance you do next for goal Spring races!
    I think you're being a little too concerned about watch distance for the marathon (ie: chicago 26.25 vs indy 26.4 or whatever was mentioned). not that you're concerned I guess, but I just don't think it matters. GPS is still known to be off by ~1% which is deemed a completely acceptable rate, and 1% for a marathon is .26mi...so if you are confident you ran tangents well that's completely fair to analyze for yourself and mention, but it's very well possible that you're still running 26.2 miles even if a watch says you ran 26.5 at the end of the day. the official time results that we get to say we ran for a certain distance in a race are what they are, whether we ran 26.2 in actuality or 26.3, you will never get it exact.

  • @jakeofert9143

    I know there’s a big trend in favor of mega-carb-loading, but the human body isn’t a calculator and there’s something to be said for listening to your body when it says “enough.” Curious if you could get away with a lighter load without sacrificing pace.
    I’m not a big Nike or Adidas fan (they just don’t work for my feet) so it’s nice to know they aren’t required even for fast people to PR!
